Feeling overwhelmed by breastfeeding your toddler? Many parents find breastfeeding their toddler both wonderful and overwhelming, and it’s completely okay to want more balance in that relationship.

Often for toddlers breastfeeding isn’t just about the milk - it meets many different needs, and I’ve written a new blog exploring how to understand those needs and gently support them in other ways. Read more: https://wix.to/zj8W9UA

In recent conversations with parents, a common theme has been emerging around breastfeeding toddlers. Many parents love the breastfeeding relationship and want to continue, but are also finding it increasingly overwhelming. What once felt manageable and even comforting can, over time, start to feel....

One of my favourite moments from a sleep consultation before Christmas was seeing a mother’s face light up as she spoke about introducing silly time before bedtime. Her child had been at nursery all day, and she said it was such a wonderful way for the family to connect and giggle together before starting the bedtime routine.

Silly time before bed is a brilliant way to burn off those last bits of energy and help your little one feel connected. When children go to bed with a sense of closeness to their parent, bedtimes often feel easier, and nights are more settled.

What are your favourite ways to use up energy and connect before bedtime?

Hi, I’m Jenny 👋
After a little time away, I wanted to reintroduce myself.

I’m a Sleep Consultant and Lactation Consultant with a background in neonatal nursing and health visiting. These days I specialise in helping families with toddlers who want more sleep.

"We Used to Have a Unicorn Sleeping Baby, I Don't Know What Went Wrong!" Does this sound familiar? Although society and social media might tell us otherwise, it’s completely normal for children to continue waking at night into toddlerhood. Parents often tell me they feel like their toddler slept b...

Feeling touched out and not sure what to do next? In my latest blog, I share tips on how to set breastfeeding boundaries, regain balance, and feel more rested. Whether you're continuing to breastfeed or considering gentle weaning, I'm here to support you on your journey. 🌙

"

"I want help because I'm just feeling touched out..." is how many of my sleep consultations start.

Especially when ...

I’m currently reading book Manifest, and I was struck by how much of it is relevant to parenting small children. Have you ever approached bedtime with a sense of dread, visualising yourself chasing your toddler around the bedroom with a pair of pyjamas? When you think about bedtime, do you start to feel heavy and crave a few moments to yourself more desperately?

Roxie's book discusses how there is very little difference between the brain experiencing an event and visualising it. Visualising stressful experiences, such as bedtime, can lead to powerful physiological effects in the body, including an increased heart rate and higher cortisol levels.

This can create a self-fulfilling prophecy: if you start bedtime with negative thoughts, your body is primed for a negative reaction, making bedtime a disaster. This often leads to feelings of post-bedtime guilt, as you might feel you didn’t handle the situation as you wanted to and that the end of the day with your child wasn’t as you had hoped (I’ve been there!). Conversely, if you visualise a positive experience, your nervous system calms down. During coaching calls, I often discuss the importance of mindset and taking a few moments to calm yourself before starting bedtime. Positive visualisation can be one of the techniques you use in these moments, helping you approach bedtime with the best chance of success. A positive mindset and a few tweaks to your little one’s routine can create the change needed to make bedtime a time of connection that both parents and children crave.

What exactly is an IBCLC?

It is an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant. This is the highest accreditation in infant feeding available.

To achieve this certification, I had to hold a healthcare qualification, complete 95 hours of lactation-specific training, accumulate 1000 hours of feeding-related work experience, and pass a very tough exam!
