Useful sleep window guide

You may have heard of Wake Windows for children, but what are they and why are they important?

🌟A wake window is an amount of time your baby or little one should ideally be awake between naps, they are age appropriate, and increase as baby gets older and the number of naps reduce.

🌟This chart shows the wake windows for different ages, you may notice your little one showing sleepy cues towards the end of their wake window, and if they are awake too long between naps then overtiredness will make it more difficult for them to fall asleep.

🌟It can be a bit of a balancing act sticking to these windows, and as they get older their routine often changes as they can stay awake longer!

🌟Save this post to refer back to as your baby gets older 🌟

DM WINDOW if you need help with your baby's wake windows

The years of motherhood have been hard and exhausting, but on days like today I am brimming with pride for both my adult children whom have both achieved their dreams and are on a path to great personal success. My first son has embarked on a military career with a promotion underway, and my only daughter has today received news that she has passed her degree with Honors. I’m not sure if I’ve been a pushy mum, but I have always told them they can be whatever they want to be, even if it doesn’t fit with what society expects. My view is that they are so young, they can always change their minds and do something else. There have been times when each of them seemed like they might quit the path they are on, but they stuck it out and proved to themselves how wonderful their talents really are! It seemed like only yesterday they were tiny little humans in need of so much from me… now they are adults with an incredible future ahead of them. But…. They will always be my babies, and I wish my mum was here to share my pride. She would be absolutely bowled over by them both. Hug your babies close today, and let them be the people they really want to be 🥰

If you’ve ever been supported by me during or after pregnancy, I wonder if you would consider reviewing my support as your antenatal/postnatal exercise doula on my public listing. I don’t attend births, but my classes are how I support and care for pregnant/postnatal women going through the most special journey of their lives. I would really appreciate a few words on my listing to help people understand my approach 😊💕

I think this is so comforting, especially for those whom have lost a child whether through miscarriage or through the hardest of decisions. Also, as daughters, we are part of our mums for ever 💕 so special
