How do you relax in the evening?

Sleep regressions happen when your little one is learning a new skill

Here's some top tips to get through them.

Remember they won't last forever, keep your routine on track as much as possible and don't be tempted to fall back to sleep crutches!!!

Let me know what we should talk about tomorrow

Awake windows and naptimes

Have you ever heard the saying sleep breeds sleep? Its so true!!!

A babys sleep needs changes so much in the first year, until they arr 8 weeks old a baby doesn't produce melatonin or cortisol and sleep is based purely on sleep pressure.

From 3 months onwards a gentle routine will allow your baby to get into a good day and night sleep schedule

An overtired baby and child will struggle to go to sleep and stay asleep as they will have built up too much cortisol.

A bad day of naps leads to a bad nights sleep!!

4 options for an easy transition with the clock changes this Sunday

1) early Risers

Do nothing!!! Adjust the routine to the new wake up time. Be aware of awake windows and nap times/ lengths to maintain the later wakings

2) meet in the middle
Great for toddlers and routine sensitive older children

Put your child to bed half an hour earlier Saturday and half an hour earlier Sunday

3) all in 1

Great for older children. Put them to bed an hour earlier Saturday. Take advantage of the great weather ☀️🌡 to make sure they are tired and ready to sleep

4) staggered approach.

Move the whole routine forward by 15 minutes each day starting from Wednesday bedtime so by Saturday your routine is an hour earlier. Your child will wake up at their "normal" time Sunday having adjusted to the routine changes

Let me know if you need any more support!!

Lovely review from a client this morning. If you need help getting your sleep back on track please get in touch!!

Routines have always been important to us but after a major sleep regression we were struggling to nail awake windows and ending up with catnaps. A trouble shooter call with Kat got us back on track. We followed her suggestions and within 3 days we were back to long naps and sleeping through the night. kat is really knowledgeable about all things baby and is a great support. Thanks Kat!
