Tuesdays with Tasha & friends; Support your babies sleep 🌙
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We chatted to Nicole from Beyond Their Dreams about baby sleep.

💭 Is co-sleeping safe?
Co-sleeping can feel comforting and natural, but it’s important to understand the risks. The safest place for a baby to sleep is on their back, on a firm, flat sleep surface, in their own cot or bassinet, in the same room as you—particularly during the first 6 months.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💤 Does sleep training mean leaving your baby to cry?
There are many different approaches to sleep, and there is no single method that works for every family. Sleep support can be gentle, responsive and tailored to your baby’s age, temperament and your family.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ Our top tips for better baby sleep:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨Create a predictable bedtime routine
Bath, feed, sleep sack, story, cuddle, bed—whatever works for your family. Doing things in a similar order helps signal that sleep is coming.
✨Make nights boring!
Keep lights low, voices quiet and interaction minimal during night feeds and changes. Help your baby learn that nighttime is for sleeping.
✨Watch those sleepy cues / layers 
A baby who is overtired can actually find it harder to settle. Getting to know your baby’s individual sleep cues can make bedtime much easier.
✨Give your baby opportunities to settle
For babies who are developmentally ready, putting them down drowsy but awake can help them practise falling asleep in their own sleep space.
✨Remember: babies are not robots!
There will be regressions, growth spurts, teething, illness, developmental leaps and nights when everything goes out the window. That is normal. ❤️

Tuesdays with Tasha and colleagues; Are you using the right fl**ge size?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One of the most important parts of finding the right breast pump is getting your fl**ge size right.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Your ni**le size is personal to you and it can change during your breastfeeding journey. The fl**ge that comes with your pump isn’t necessarily the right size for everyone.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ The right fit can help with:
• Better milk flow
• More comfortable pumping
• More effective milk removal
• Less ni**le rubbing and swelling
• A more comfortable pumping experience overall
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How do you know if your fl**ge is the right size?
Your ni**le should move freely through the tunnel without rubbing against the sides, while only a small amount of ar**la is drawn in.
If your ni**le is rubbing, swelling, becoming sore or turning white — your fl**ge may be too small or the fit may need adjusting.
And if lots of your ar**la is being pulled into the tunnel, the fl**ge may be too large.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💡 Tip: Measure your ni**le before pumping and remember that your size can change over time.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Finding the right fit can make such a difference, pumping shouldn’t be painful. 🤍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Not sure what size you need? Come and chat to us — we can help you find your best fit.
