Sleep Supreme

👋🏼 Hello 2025!! In our household, it feels like it's just beginning now that the kids are back at school 🫣

Alongside teaching, I'm still here at and only a DM and FREE phone call away from supporting, guiding and educating parents that are facing challenges with their little ones sleep 💜

Check out the review from a beautiful family I supported to wrap up the 2024 year 👇🏼👇🏼

Always such a privilege to work alongside families as they learn how to best support their little ones and discover better sleep for the whole family xx

☀️ Hearing the words melatonin and serotonin can all sound a bit too science-like (which it is!). But here’s the low down. In order for our little ones to produce the all important ‘sleepy’ hormone melatonin, we need to support our children in obtaining serotonin both through their foods and the exposure to natural light.

☀️ Why? Serotonin gets converted into melatonin when the environment darkens, and signals to the body that it's time to prepare for sleep. These two components work hand and hand and support our little people to regulate their sleep-wake cycles.

Check out what this lovely family from the Gold Coast had to say about their experience when it came to supporting their little man with sleep 🫶🏼

🫵🏼 Do you have a child that always just wants YOU to put them to bed? Perhaps they even put up a good protest if your other half does bedtime instead? It can be quite normal that at some point along the way your baby, toddler or child (we still face this with our big kids on occasion!) has a preference when it comes to which parent is putting them to bed.

🤍 At times it can feel overwhelming and tough (mentally and emotionally!), particularly when parental preference peaks during times such as illness, physical and mental development, or any other major changes in life, e.g. starting daycare, arrival of a new sibling.

👍🏼 There are certainly ways in which you can make it less of a battle so to speak, so you can turn bedtime into a more enjoyable experience for all involved. For the non-preferred parent, please remember this is not a reflection of your parenting skills and the love you have for your child.

👊🏼 Remember, working together as a team and sharing the load between parents can do wonders for our overall well being and filling everyone’s bucket is important!

As a SAHM I know there are times you just need to pop the kids on a screen. Maybe you just need a shower or a hot cuppa in peace. Perhaps you are settling baby number two and need your toddler to be occupied. Or you don’t need your leg hugged the entire time you attempt to cook dinner. I’ve been here, that’s for sure!

Whatever the reason is that you find yourself popping the TV on or a show on the iPad for your little one, don’t beat yourself up about it. Do what you need to do, in that moment, and for your own sanity.

With that said, here is some info to take note of as it is important to understand that screentime can impact your little one’s sleep if they have it too close to nap time and/or bedtime. Just remember, balance is key here 💜

🕖 It’s almost upon us - coming up on Sunday 7th April our clocks will be falling back an hour.

So how can we support our little one's body clocks to make this time adjustment? Use this 6 Day Transitional Guide where you move wake up time, nap and feed times, and bedtime in 10 minute increments each day; choose either the 6 days prior to OR post daylight savings.

You may be thinking why? Put simply, your children’s internal biological clocks are set by light, food and the social interactions they encounter each day, so by slowly shifting ALL timings over the course of 6 days, it means less confusion for your child’s body clock.

If you have a child who is sensitive to change, you can always lengthen out the transitional period by spending 2-3 days at each of the new timings before moving onto the next.

🍂 Organised and like to feel prepared? Try the Pro-Active approach!
🍂 Chill and happy to roll with it once it’s arrived? Take the Re-Active approach!
🍂 Not phased? 100% ok! You will eventually find your new groove and things will fall into place.

👉🏼 Swipe to check out the full guide (based on a 7am-7pm routine)! Adjust the guide to suit your child’s current routine.

🍼🤱🏼 Dream feeds aren’t for every baby, or every parent. They will either work to your advantage or not.

Offering a dream feed to your baby allows you to ‘plan’ a milk feed, and generally is right before you take yourself off to bed and get a good stretch of sleep 💤

🫵🏼 Most of our content is aimed at babies and children, BUT, today I want you to know that YOUR SLEEP MATTERS TOO! Establishing healthy sleep habits for ourselves allows us as parents to prioritise and value our sleep too because our well-being matters just as much as our children’s - when we are thriving and well rested, our children get to benefit because we are better versions of ourselves!

💜 When we can give our bodies that good night’s sleep which will refuel and recharge those batteries to face another day of work, or another day of jobs around the house, or a day running after those tiny feet, then we will be doing it with a clearer mind and more energy. We will also make better decisions and we will get the best out of every day!

✨ Let’s be honest – even as adults we prep ourselves for bed and give our body time to wind down (maybe a night time cuppa, or shower and teeth), so it need not be any different for our small people. To this day, we use and make the time for a nice wind down routine before our 5 and 6 year old head to bed at night and they thrive with this ‘cool down’ period!

✨ In an ideal world a wind down routine could last 10-15minutes which means taking your little one into their sleep space a good 15 minutes prior to needing to be asleep so you can still achieve popping them in their cot/bed just before their due nap (avoiding overtiredness).

✨ I know we live in such a busy world these days but no need to worry - a wind down routine does not always have to be a drawn out process, JUST consistent in order for it to remain predictable for your little people. So if there are days where you have just raced in the door, and you are running short on time, make it a speedier nappy change (yet remain calm), and choose a shorter book/song – it still signals to your child that sleep is next on the cards!

❓ How does your wind down routine look in your home? If not yet existent; go on, give it a go and let me know how you and your little one go!
