🔥I’m on such a high this morning!!

❤️There is no better feeling when you get this message from a client!

👌This message represents the winds of change for this family!

💪At 5 1/5 months with lots of catnaps and assistance for all sleep, we had a stormy focus on consolidating the day naps then gently working on settling in the cot

🥳 mum and baby girl have absolutely nailed it and the longer stretches overnight show just how all this hard work has laid off!!

Can’t wait for the next week with this family!!

👉 Had your now so newborn started to play up and wake more more, harder to settle and napping more in the afternoon??

📧Dm me now! I promise you don’t have to stick and out, and you don’t have to fix it by letting them cry it out!!

🥰 last year I had the pleasure to work with a lovely family help their 3 year old achieve self settling at bedtime as well as staying in her own room.

😅Recently however with baby no.2 on the way, old habits slowly began to creep back in and I received a message from dad for a quick call to suss out what was happening

💙After hashing things out, we restocked the tool kit to give him some tricks up his sleeve to keep bedtime a positive experience but with firm boundaries.

🌸 The following day I received this 1st amazing message from dad with an immediate improvement!

💪 Better yet, a few days later mum also reached out to say how much stronger the daddy daughter bond had grown!!

🫶There is no better feeling that knowing you’ve helped offer that little encouragement to help parents with the skills they already have to continue to build such a positive bond with their little ones!!!

🤚 stuck in a rut with your toddlers sleep???

Nursing to sleep:
“You shouldn’t nurse your baby to sleep. You’ll never be able to get them off the breast or bottle and will have to do this every time you need to get them to sleep!”

Sound familiar?

🫶Don’t worry, I’ve got you.

That’s 🐮💩
Nursing your newborn baby is one of the best ways to calm and sooth them through activating their sucking reflex, as well as making sure they have a nice full belly to support them having a restful sleep.

If breastfeeding, this is also a great way to offer that skin-to-skin contact for mum and baby while also allowing lots of contact naps which are so precious for both of you, especially in those early days! So don’t let anyone tell you that it’s a bad habit to start!

As your baby:
💥becomes more alert
💥develops a rough rhythm to the day with similar morning wake times, average happily awake span
💥begins to follow a rough nap structure, then you can begin experimenting with a variety of techniques that can offer your baby a catalogue of ways they like to be settled.

🤷‍♀️Unsure of what techniques to add in? 👉Follow Sleep Wee Bird for more newborn sleep tips!

Have you ever heard of Baby-lead Attachment?

When you take a few steps to get you and your baby ready, you will see this amazing biological process that shows they are hard wired to seek out the breast.

1 - Get you and baby in a comfortable position that ensure you are both well supported. Use whatever pillows or cushions you need to help. Breast feeding cushions are great once you find your spot!

2- To help your baby achieve this, make sure they have had a nice big sleep but also give them time to fully wake so they are alert to search for the breast. You also want a happy and calm baby so if they are crying or frustrated, stand and rock or sway for a moment until they have calmed before your next attempt.

3- It has been well established that skin to skin contact is a must for your newborn baby. If weather permits, remove all upper clothing and find a nice private space to allow you privacy in confidence. Once latched, you can rest a blanket over you and your baby to keep you both warm.

4. Hold bubs upright to your chest and lean back. this will help keep you both close in contact.

5. This is where its bubs time to shine, give them time to let their instincts kick in unless necessary, try not to intervene.

6. Support your baby as you seen them making their way to your breast. You can also support their upper body without having to support their head. This will give them enough stability while still manoeuvring their head to follow their instincts. Finally, you may see them nuzzle in for a few moments until they burrow their chin into your breast and reach in with an open mouth to latch. This is when you may want to offer a firmer grip or closer to your body to give them support.
