Split nights 😴 Nothing like your little one waking up in the middle of the night and refusing to go back to sleep for hours each and every night! 😬 This is common so do not fret. Most babies split nights are after midnight and normally mean baby waking happily, not wanting anything but chatting away to themselves for up to 2 hours. 🥴 How do you fix these split nights? The key is to check your babies nap firstly. Are they sleeping to much in the day so they are not tired enough? Or are they sleeping too little so they are in sleep debt and struggling to remain asleep over night. ❓ If you are sure the naps are spot on ✅ than next thing is to check the environment. Is the tempature dropping in babies room around the time of night making them wake as they are cold? Or perhaps they are getting to hot and the tempature needs to be reduced. If both these things are correct and you are still struggling than drop me a message so I can check the valve for you and offer you more specific guidance. www.bfsleepconsultant.com 🩵🩷 #sleepconsultant #budgetconsultant #bf #sleeptraining #bfsleepconsultant #splitnight #splitnights #waking #midnightwaking #yourbestfriendinbabysleep #sleepdebt #mumandbaby #dadandbaby #certifiedsleepconsultant #certified #smallbusiness #supportsmallbusiness #yourbudget #sleepisanecessity #sleeplikeababy #dmme #reachout #explore

✨Brilliant to see this updated article/ resource on co-sleeping on the Raising Children Network site✨ This is a massive improvement on what was there previously and really brings risk minimisation strategies to the forefront! This is the product of tireless advocacy and hard work by many but none more than the brilliant Professor Jeanine Young AM 🤩 ✨If you get the time, it'd be amazing to let RCN know if you appreciate this kind of material to reinforce why it is so important to us as parents and people who work with parents to have strategies and information to make sleep safer for our babies. This is even more essential as we have seen Red Nose Australia take some big backward steps in their approach to shared sleep and having this kind of alternative resource is vital because we know telling people not to co-sleep simply doesn't work and it sure as heck doesn't help keep babies safer. ps. It'd be great if they used an image of shared sleep, but hopefully that’s easily addressed 🥰 https://lnkd.in/gFR2trZW #infantmentalhealth #perinatalmentalhealth #safersleep #infantsleep #parentsupport #childhealth #cosleeping #sleephealth #wellbeing #livedexperience #peersupport #socialchange #advocacy

This busy festive time, remember: 🎄 You don't need to wake your sleeping baby just because a friend or relative wants to hold him 🎄 Your baby's sleep may look a little different as they encounter new people, events, places 🎄 A nap is a nap whenever it may be - on you, on grandma, in the car, on the living room floor 🎄 Babies, especially newborns, don't need silence during the day to nap so try not to stress about finding quiet spots (unless that works best for your family!) 🎄 Keep following Safe Sleep Guidelines no matter what Aunt Mildred says about how they or you slept "when we were young" 🎄 Supporting your baby to sleep is NOT a bad habit 🎄 Your little one may need more connection time to calm down for sleep after busy days of new experiences and people! 🎄 Waking 1-3x a night ynsed 18 months is still ok! Your baby doesn't "need" to be "sleeping through" just because Uncle Toby said so... 🎄 Your baby isn't regressing! They're PROGRESSING constantly! #ringsling #ahauntedhouse #contactnapper #contactnap #contactnaps #holisticsleepcoach #infantreflux #mentalhealth #colic #breastfeedingcounselor #parents #supportingparents #newbornsupport #newbornsleep #infantfeedingspecialist #newbornbaby #babyproducts #sleepassociations #newbornroutine #babydevelopment #babyled #professionalnewborncare #newborncarespecialist https://lnkd.in/e6m7eHjm

Everyone deserves the right to sleep, and I’m here to support that! Honestly, short naps are a REAL problem. Here’s why: Short naps prevent deep, restorative daytime sleep, leaving us with grumpy, overtired babies on the verge of meltdowns. Short naps lead to night wakings and early mornings, creating a cycle that feels completely overwhelming. Short naps can trap us at home with an overtired and grumpy baby, always just minutes away from their next nap. Short naps drive parents crazy! We obsess over baby sleep, chart every nap, avoid leaving the house to fix “the schedule,” and try to replicate that one day when naps were perfect. Let’s work together to break the cycle and get the rest we all need!
