After sharing just how different sleep solutions can be for each family and child in episode 25 with Kristy from the sleep teacher, we thought we would let you in on our own… spoiler alert… we do not have the magic answer for getting more sleep!

In today’s BONUS episode we wanted to share the very different experiences we had regarding sleep with our 5 children… although there is one common theme… there were lots of frequent wake ups!

For those who are tuning in for the first time, a little about us…

• Luka McCabe - founder of Boob to Food, author of Milk to Meals, registered nurse and midwife, as well as mum of 3
• Kate Holm - naturopath, nutritionist,  clinical director of Boob to Food and mum of 2 (with a third on the way!)

In this podcast we discuss

• The sleep stories of our 5 children
• Where our children slept and what worked best for us
• Strategies that we tried or didn’t try regarding sleep
• Which parts we found the hardest
• The mindset and perspective shift that helped us
• and so much more…

SOME ADDITIONAL RESOURCES WE MENTION OR YOU MIGHT ENJOY

• Our podcast interview with Tracy from Raised Good on biologically normal infant sleep

We see you there listening to this podcast at 3am while you rock/shoosh/pat/feed/cuddle your baby to sleep wondering if this is normal and how you could maybe get just a little bit more shut eye! Sleep (or lack of) and babies seem to go hand in hand… and while waking through the night is to be expected, it doesn’t have to be torturous or ongoing. Enter Kristy…

Kristy is the face behind The Sleep Teacher, a team of child and infant sleep consultants who have worked with over 15 000 families worldwide. As a Mum herself, Kristy knows that what may work for one family, may not work for another. She is not here to convince you that what you are doing sleep wise isn't the right thing, but rather to help and support you when you feel your current situation is no longer working.

in this podcast we cover:

• What is sleep hygiene and some practices we can put in place to help with bedtime
• What the ultimate sleep environment looks like
• Rhythms and routines for bedtime
• What are awake windows and how we can use them in our favour to have flexible, but predictable sleep
• How starting solids may impact sleep, and whether it will actually help
• and so much more!

You can connect with Kristy on Instagram, her new podcast or check out her many resources or book a consult on her website.

Sleep deprivation for parenting is a normal part of parenting BUT it doesn't have to STAY the norm.

In this week's episode, I chat with Wee-Sleep Consultant Diana Martins to answer all your questions regarding creating healthy sleep foundations for infants, how to sleep train and best advice tips when dealing with toddler sleep regression and kids who refuse to sleep I n their beds because they are scared of the dark.

She shares the benefits for healthy sleep not only for kids but for parents as well and how you can solve sleep issues with your children.

Today, I try to help a mum whose baby might go through a sleep regression. The baby used to fall asleep independently but now she has to nurse her to sleep.

In this episode, I speak with qualified sleep consultant and mother of one, Lucy Burns of The Sleep Scout.
Known as a 'gentle' sleep consultant, I quiz Lucy on the science of newborn sleep and what normal sleep patterns look like for babies in the Fourth Trimester. We cover what it means to have a gentle approach, and when she believes it is a good time is to consider sleep training. The thing I love about Lucy is that she's firm in her opinion that there isn't a one-size-fits-all approach to sleep and is completely supportive of families doing what is right for them and their babies. She's not your stereotypical cry-it-out sleep consultant by any means, and this episode is not intended to encourage sleep training with your newborn. I think you'll find it's quite the opposite!
We talk about why she likes dummies, as well as other positive and negative sleep associations - and she offers great insight into how to best ditch dummies and transition out of swaddles. We discuss the dreaded four-month sleep regression, how this is a progression of a baby's sleep cycles, and cover the difference between self-settling and re-settling.
Whether your baby self-settles, is fed to sleep, rocked to sleep, worn to sleep, patted to sleep, shushed to sleep, cuddled to sleep, or you co-sleeping, you do you mama. I hope everyone who listens finds this episode both comforting and practical.

This episode is not sponsored, I reached out to Lucy myself. But I do use Lucy's guides for my daughter, Albie's routine and when we started following them she began sleeping through the night. Coincidence? I think not! If you'd like to book in for one of Lucy's sleep consultations, visit www.thesleepscout.com and use the code motherness10 for 10% off both standard and express consults until March 12, 2020. You can also email Lucy to purchase her guide and mention this episode for 10% off this as well!

Thanks so much, Lucy!
