A few special moments lately 🤍

It's been a little quiet over here for the past couple of weeks, but for all the right reasons.

We've been busy enjoying the school holidays, celebrating our boy turning 13 (how did that happen? 😳) and enjoying a little getaway to Cairns.

Sometimes it's nice to step away from the everyday routine, slow down and enjoy being present with the people who matter most-lots of family time, making memories and a chance to recharge.

I'm back now and looking forward to getting back into things here at Sleep Boutique.

Hope you've all had a lovely couple of weeks too! 🤍

Sometimes sleep struggles aren't simply about sleep

Is your little one an early morning waker?

14/09/2026

I recently shared an 8-month-old routine, and someone commented that a 30-minute first nap isn't long enough because sleep pressure is higher in the morning.

But actually, sleep pressure is generally lower in the morning, because your baby has just had their longest sleep period overnight.

For some babies, a 30-minute first nap can be absolutely appropriate, and in my practice, I find that this works best.

This is exactly why I don't believe in looking at a one-size-fits-all approach.

I look at the whole picture - overnight sleep, wake windows, naps, your baby's individual needs and, most importantly, the baby in front of me.

There isn't one perfect nap length that works for every 8-month-old. For some babies, a 30-minute first morning nap can be absolutely enough, especially when they're sleeping well overnight.

But if your baby naturally sleeps longer than 30 minutes for that first nap and is happy, settled and sleeping well overall, I wouldn't change it just to make it fit a number.

Sleep is individual. Look at the whole picture rather than assuming that every baby needs the same amount of sleep at the same time of day.

Safe sleep recommendations apply to day naps too - not just overnight.

I don't really "sleep train" I look at the WHY behind the sleep.
Because your child isn't a textbook, what works for one child might not work for another. Temperament, development, routine, sleep environment and individual needs can all play a part.
So before I change the sleep I want to understand what's actually going on. What's causing the struggle? That's where I start.
Root cause first. Gentle solutions second.
No one-size-fits-all approach.
Just support that's tailored to your child + your family.

"Your newborn e-book helped me so much."

These are the messages that make creating resources for new parents so worthwhile.

The newborn stage can feel overwhelming - so much information, so many opinions, and so many little things you suddenly feel like you should know.

I created my newborn e-book to help alleviate some of that pressure and provide you with simple, practical guidance for those early weeks.

If you're expecting a baby or are currently in the newborn stage, it's there to help you feel a little more confident and a little less overwhelmed.

The newborn stage can be a stressful time. As a sleep consultant, Mum of two, and someone who has been a director of early childhood for over 20 years, I offer the following advice.

Here are a few things I wouldn't even bother stressing about.

👶 A perfect routine.
A strict routine isn't needed in the early days. Your newborn is still learning the difference between day and night, whilst still finding their rhythm, and that's completely okay.

👶 Being home for every nap.
It's not necessary, get out in the fresh air, meet up with friends and family or attend an appointment.

👶 A tidy home.
You have enough to take care of without adding this to your list. (although for me a tidy house gives me a tidy mind!!)

👶 Advice from others.
They mean well but honestly, you do you

👶 Getting your baby to sleep through the night.
Newborns are not supposed to sleep long stretches, (only a handful do) they need to wake frequently for feeds.

Although the early weeks can feel unpredictable, from around nine weeks of age it becomes possible to start introducing a more consistent nap structure.

My newborn guide helps you navigate the newborn stage and is available from my website, follow the link in my bio. 🔗
