Up there with the amount of time new mums spend talking about sleep is the also common, and somewhat associated subject; feeding.

I entirely agree that back in the 1970s, the formula companies were in the wrong and were pushing for profit over health; benefitting from selling it to parents who didn’t need it.

However, I also wonder if we’ve gone too far with the “breast is best” diatribe and it’s affecting maternal mental health.

This is in no ways an anti-breastfeeding post; I am instead wanting to balance the thinking...

When it comes to sleep disturbances, many of us think of snoring as little more than an annoyance; few believe it to be indicative of a bigger issue.
According to Starship hospital ENT experts, one third of children in New Zealand snore and 10% snore most nights.

However, as a symptom, snoring is chronically underappreciated and rarely reported to GPs as a problem...

Everyday I am hit with posts on Instagram from parents, and parenting pages, which use hashtags to end up in my news feed, and their posts are designed to make me as a parent (forget the fact that I am a sleep consultant too), feel terrible about myself as a parent.

I am told that my baby learnt no one was coming to their aid because I used sleep training and taught my babies to self soothe.

I am told that in order to love my baby I must not sleep train them...

Is your preschooler still struggling with sleep? 😴
You're not imagining it, new research confirms that early sleep problems often stick around... and they’re influenced by more than just bedtime battles.

🔍 The study found strong links between sleep struggles and:
✔ Parenting style
✔ Parental mental health
✔ Socioeconomic stress

It turns out, more permissive parenting, especially when mum is coping with anxiety, can make things harder. But calm, structured routines and the right support can make a big difference.

💡 The good news? You’re not failing, and you’re not alone. With the right guidance, better sleep is possible for your little one and for you.

Swipe through to see what the research says.

“I was suffering from a bit of depression and the lack of sleep was definitely not helping. I began to feel like there was no light at the end of the tunnel.”

Helena’s five month old Carter was waking multiple times overnight...

Jenna was crying when I called her for her consultation.
She had just come back from the Doctors office, and had been delivered the blow that her beautiful 3 month old daughter Rosie, was still only gaining 50-90 grams a week.

Born on the 85th percentile, Rosie had dropped to the 5th percentile, and was being classified by her Dr as failing to thrive...
