👉 Struggling with potty training and not sure where to start?

You’re not alone and it doesn’t have to feel overwhelming.

So many parents feel stuck between nappies and the toilet, unsure if they’re starting too early or feeling like they’re not making any progress. I get it.

I’ve supported thousands of families through this stage and been there myself as a mum.

Every child is different and that’s okay.

In this carousel, I’m sharing my top 3 tips to make potty training smoother, calmer, and less stressful for everyone involved.

💛 If you’d love step by step support with practical advice from a Paediatric Nurse, Early Years Practitioner, and mum, check out my full Potty Training Guide — it’s just £3.50 (less than a pack of nappies!).

Hi everyone!

I began teaching CPR while living as an expat in Spain, after realising many parents hadn’t had the chance to take a class in English. Parents on my sleep page kept asking me First Aid questions

Even where courses were available, barriers like childcare, timing and sheer exhaustion often got in the way. That’s why I brought my training online, making it simple to learn lifesaving skills from your sofa. I also teach face to face in Javea and surrounding areas. It’s not about being scared, it’s about being prepared.

Alongside this, I offer gentle sleep support both locally and worldwide. My aim is that my support feels like I’m holding your hand. You’re not alone, and there are gentle, practical steps to bring more rest to your family if this is something you are looking for.

✨ There’s nothing I love more than supporting parents and watching sleep turn around, because I know how hard it can be. You don’t have to just “put up with it.” There are loving, responsive ways to teach healthy sleep habits and these reviews are proof that change is possible. 💛

As always, please remember: there’s no right or wrong way to do this, only what works for you and what doesn’t.

But if the algorithm has brought you to my page, I’m guessing sleep isn’t working right now… and you’re looking for a change.

You’re in the right place. 💤

Comment ‘chat’ below and I will send you a DM to arrange a FREE 15 min call or FREE WhatsApp chat to see how I can help you get sleep back on track 💤

Understanding Gagging vs. Choking

I’ve had a few messages land in my inbox from parents asking for advice on weaning and concerns about their babies choking.

Gagging is a super normal reflex that babies have to protect their airway-it’s actually a good thing and a normal part of development!

First, it’s important to know: choking is rare when starting solids. With the proper feeding environment and serving food correctly, the risk of choking reduces significantly. I always recommend using to learn how to cut and serve foods at different ages.

Important Note: Choking is not normal, and if this happens, your child needs help. Here’s how to tell the difference:

Gagging: Your baby might cough, make noises, and their face may turn red. This means their reflex is working.

Avoid interfering, as this reflex helps prevent choking.

Choking: Your baby may be silent, unable to cough, and their face might turn blue. This is an emergency and requires immediate action.

Remember, understanding the difference between gagging and choking is essential. Being prepared helps you stay calm and confident in supporting your baby’s feeding journey.

From Co-Sleeping & Contact Naps to Independent Sleep in Just ONE Week... without leaving him alone...

For almost 6 months, I co-slept and contact napped with my son... and it worked for us at the time.

HOWEVER... I knew we were both ready for a change. I wasn’t sleeping as well now that he was bigger, I missed my evenings, and I wanted him to be an independent sleeper like his sister.

I didn’t use cry-it-out; in fact, I didn’t even leave his room. I stayed with him, supported him, and reassured him...

How? Because I understand the science of sleep and child development.

With 25 years of experience in childcare and healthcare, I’ve supported babies and families throughout my entire career...

Want to know the gentle steps I used?
Comment ‘READY’ below, and I’ll send you my FREE Self-Settling Guide.

Independent sleep doesn’t have to mean leaving your baby alone to cry, it can be taught in a responsive and gentle way.
