Sound Sleep-Baby Sleep Coach

Tell me, what have you done to sneak out of the room without waking the baby?

🤍White Noise vs 💗Pink Noise…
Is there a difference?

🤍WHITE NOISE is:
🎶Noise that contains all of the frequencies across the audible sound spectrum.
🎶Equal distribution of all frequencies.
Examples include:
🤍television or radio static
🤍whirring fans
🤍wind
🤍heavy rain
🤍waterfalls

💗PINK NOISE is:
🎶Broadband noise, containing all frequencies.
🎶Deeper than white noise
🎶Increase in power at lower frequencies.
🎶Reduction in power at higher frequencies
Examples include:
💗heartbeats
💗waves hitting the shore
💗steady rainfall
💗leaves rustling

Pink noise’s gentle and consistent sound has been found to improve sleep quality by promoting longer periods of deep, restorative sleep. The sound’s rhythmic pattern can help synchronise brainwaves, leading to a more relaxed and tranquil state conducive to falling and staying asleep.

I love that incorporates pink noise into their Schnorglesaurus comforters.

THE 💫 MAGIC 💫 INGREDIENT...

It doesn’t matter what aspect of sleep you’re working on:
- Self Settling
- Resettling
- Extending Awake Windows
- Adjusting Naps
- Trying a Whole New Routine or Settling Method

The magic ingredient is 💫 CONSISTENCY💫

Nothing happens instantly. Habits take time to establish.

Being consistent sends your little one the same message and allows them to adjust to the changes, providing stability and comfort.

Be patient and remain consistent!

You got this!

Parenthood can feel lonely and at times feel like you’re in the trenches by yourself.

You are not alone.

Share how old your baby is and how many times they wake a night.

Is your little one ready to drop down to 1 nap?

Don’t be fooled if your little one is 12 months old and showing some of these signs, they are not yet ready to transition to one nap.

If your little one has been showing more than one of these signs for more than one week, it could be time to make the transition.

Myth: "Babies should sleep through the night by a certain age."

Truth: It's a common misconception that all babies should sleep through the night by a certain milestone, eg.6 months, once they’ve started solids, once they’ve doubled their birth weight etc.

But the reality is that every baby is different. While some babies may start sleeping for longer stretches at an early age, others may take more time to develop this skill.

Sleep patterns can vary greatly among babies, and factors such as temperament, feeding habits, developmental stages, and environmental influences all play a role.

It's important for parents to understand that frequent night waking is normal for many babies and that there is a wide range of what is considered typical sleep behaviour in babies.

As babies grow and develop, their sleep patterns often change naturally.

Patience, consistency, and understanding are key when it comes to navigating baby sleep.

Nap Refusal

Is your little one refusing naps?
Try these things:

1. Keep them wide awake on feeds.
Drowsy feeds, chilled car or pram trips or multiple feeds during awake times can lower sleep pressure. They may be using these times to relax and rest, then get a second wind.

2. Follow a 'Feed, Play, Sleep' routine.
Constant offerings of small snack feeds can impact sleep. Provide opportunities for active, stimulated awake time.

3. Check your role in their sleep.
Patting, rocking or humming can be overstimulating for some bubs. Do they think it's time to interact and play rather than sleep? Do they just need some time and space to themselves?

4. Remember what you CAN control.
Provide the opportunity for sleep with a dark room, follow age appropriate awake windows, wind down time, comfortable clothing, comfortable room temperature.

5. Remember what you CAN'T control.
You can't control how long it takes your bub to fall asleep, the length of their independent sleep, if they choose to use their skills to fall asleep independently.

If nothing works, get bub up for 15-20 minutes for a reset, then try again.

Sometimes the hardest part is actually holding back and waiting, just a moment!

As mums, in particular, we are biologically wired to have an emotional response to our baby’s cries. Their survival depends on it.

When it comes to your little one’s sleep the PAUSE is POWERFUL.

If your little one is in their bed and they’re either settling to sleep or perhaps they wake during a sleep, STOP & PAUSE.
Give them just a moment.
Don’t rush in too quick!
If they’re settling to sleep, give them some time and space. Many bubs will grizzle and protest themselves to sleep. This is where listening for their pause is important. This pause is the difference between grizzling/protesting and and emotional cry that should be responded to immediately.

If your little one wakes and cries, STOP & PAUSE. Your little one might actually still be asleep but just transitioning into the next sleep cycle. If you rush in you could potentially actually wake them up!

When supporting your little one to sleep, if you’re working on them falling asleep in their cot, be present. Reassure them. Give them time. Listen for the pause.

Sleep can be hard! If you’re finding it hard, let me help and support you to make it easier.

Do you rush in too quick?

*This is in NO WAY Controlled Crying (Ferber) or CIO. You CAN and SHOULD respond to your baby as quickly as you feel you need to.
