NO GATEKEEPING HERE 💙
💡 Here’s what I share with every client who’s ready for calmer, more predictable sleep - without the pressure or overwhelm:
🛌 Use a sleep sack for naps and overnight - Creates a strong sleep cue and helps baby feel secure + regulate temperature.
🍼 Move feeding away from sleep - Promotes self-settling and breaks the feed-to-sleep link.
📖 Use a consistent wind-down routine - Predictable rhythms help babies relax and switch off.
🧳 Prepare routines before returning to work - Practicing early makes the transition smoother for everyone.
🕰️ Don’t rush in at the first stir - Pausing gives baby the chance to resettle independently.
🐑🚫 Ditch Ewan the sheep & Ollie the owl - Fan-style white noise is more effective and less stimulating.
⏰ Start each day at the same time - Fixed wake times set the tone for smoother naps and bedtime.
💊 Skip gimmicky wind and colic products - Infacol and similar aren’t backed by science- save your pennies.
🎙️ Use voice support over the monitor - Shushing remotely avoids overstimulation and constant re-entry.
🌱 Start small - stay consistent - One simple change, repeated daily, builds lasting sleep habits
