  1. dummies banner

    I found a picture of my now 14 year old as a toddler.

    We used to call her "The Dummy Commando" (amongst other things) As she loved a dummy at that age. 

    Many mums ask me if dummies/pacifiers create bad habits or a negative sleep association, many sleep experts suggest getting rid of dummies as early as possible. I really don't have an issue with dummies unlike many other experts. As long as you keep dummies as clean as possible i don't think your little one having a dummy need be a problem.

    WARNING: Im annoyed whilst writing this but you probably can't tell.

    Ok I just wanna get this off my chest. A few post on social media I've seen by fellow "baby sleep experts" has really pissed me off so I thought I'd just write this and say my piece on the subject.

    I saw a post by an "expert" advertising a seminar teaching how to get newborns sleeping through the night.

    It irritated me to the nth degree and then the comments that came after I challenged the experts point of view made my blood boil.
    Why would an expert be teaching a class on a newborn sleeping through?

    Surely any baby expert worth their salt would know that a newborn being trained to sleep through the night is dangerous?

  5. dont fear

     

    I have a Facebook group of loving caring yet sleep deprived mums  with little ones who struggle to sleep.

    Over the last few months, conversation in the group has been brief but when discussion has arisen a common theme other than sleep often appears. The topic of crying.

    I’m pleased to say that within my group a lot of the mums adopt a more gentle approach to sleep shaping.

    Im all for helping and encouraging positive sleep habits and associations but i believe we can use gentle and respectful ways to help pur kids sleeep rather thanjust leaving them to cry and ' self soothe'
