Here are my TOP SIX TIPS to help you navigate this time and ensure a smooth, seamless transition for all.
Sleep looks different for everyone. Let’s ALL stop being so hard on ourselves. Sleep is the main dominator we all have in common when we decide to embark on the magic that is parenthood. We all want to know if you're getting it and how much?
We've reached that time of year where the nights are lighter, and the sun is setting late (hello summer, and balmy nights ahead!). This time change is a crowd-pleaser, we technically lose an extra hour of sleep but we gain summer!
While moving the clock forward one hour is something that makes us sleepy for a couple of days, our adult bodies adjust to the change reasonably quick.
You’ve probably heard the term ‘sleep hygiene’ – and wondered what it means and how it applies to toddler and preschool sleep habits.

If you’ve got a toddler or preschool child who refuses to sleep or is struggling to sleep enough at night, try these tried and tested sleep hygiene tips for children.
The toddler and preschool developmental periods are a time of huge change for children.

Summer is just around the corner! Which means carefree days at the beach, pool-side BBQ's, ice cream sundaes, and sun tired little ones... We all know that afeeling after a full day in the sun - pure happiness and utter exhaustion. For many reasons, the sun can really take it out of you! Here are a few tips to make sure your littles stay cool, comfortable and protected during the summer heat as well as how ergoPouch can help support your sleep during summer.
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

Toddlers are notoriously mischievous when it comes to bed time. Whether they’ve just learned to use their legs and are fighting a sleep sack, need just one more story/cuddle/song/drink of water, or are playing the too hot/too cold game, putting a toddler to bed feels like running a marathon!
SLEEP ROUTINE CHART: Make a visual sleep chart of our steps in the sleep routine so your child can see and know what is next. You can even take pictures of them doing their routine, print them out and use the pictures of them doing the routine for their chart. Have them involved in making the chart (even if they are putting fun stickers on it) so they feel a part of the process.
