Newborn Sleep

We've reached that time of year where the nights are darker, and the sun is setting early (hello winter, and cozy days to come!). This time change is a crowd-pleaser, we technically GAIN an extra hour of sleep (or do we?) #kids. 

Registered nurse, midwife and mother Jane Wiggill is here to answer all your white noise questions.

With over 13 years experience working in birth suites across Victoria, and more recently as Chief Midwife of Red Nose Australia, Jane provides evidence-based health expertise for infant and child use of white noise for sleep.

Winter. The months where we hibernate indoors and share plenty of cuddles with our minis. It's about this time of year; that we get many questions about how to keep baby warm in winter at night, and rightly so, it's confusing. You don't want to underdress or overdress them. If just that sentence has you spinning, we got you.

All healthy newborn babies are in fact born capable of drifting off to sleep when their basic needs are met, and when they are in the ideal conditions in which to do so.

And when they do, it’s magical.

However, this may not happen all the time and it is absolutely OK to offer hands-on settling support when your little one can’t quite do it by themself. 

Sunday marked the start of daylight saving time. And, if you’re like most parents everywhere, Sunday also marked the beginning of a nightmare week (or several) of bedtime shenanigans from your children. A handful of you very, on-the-ball, organized, planner-types probably started moving your child’s bedtime 10-15 minutes later every day before the time change happened
