How Much Sleep Do Parents Actually Lose? According to a study commissioned by Snüz, a leading nursery and kids product brand in the UK, and based on the responses of 1,300 parents: 😴 70% of parents suffer from sleep deprivation, losing up to three hours of sleep every night during the first year. 🛌🏼 On average, parents experience sleep deprivation for six years. 🧠 This lack of sleep significantly impacts both parents' and babies' well-being, leading to increased stress, impaired cognitive function, and developmental issues in children.

Becoming a new parent is a beautiful, life-changing experience—but let’s be honest, it’s also a challenge to balance caring for your little one while maintaining an active, healthy lifestyle. With the right strategies and support, though, it is absolutely achievable. Here are a few key takeaways I shared in the article, published in The Times Of India: Prioritize Sleep: Develop better sleep habits for your baby to help align their routine with yours. Nourish Yourself: Opt for energy-sustaining meals and stay hydrated, especially if you’re breastfeeding. Embrace Mindfulness: Use techniques like deep breathing or meditation to reduce stress and stay grounded. Stay Flexible: Create a schedule that balances baby care with self-care and daily activities. Connect with Others: Join local or online parent groups to share tips, stay active, and find support. Thanks, TOI for featuring my thoughts on this important topic. As parents, our health and happiness directly influence the environment in which our children grow, making it essential to adopt a lifestyle that nurtures both. Read the article in the end feel free to share your own tips or stories in the comments—I’d love to hear them. #parenting #healthyliving #timesofindia #mindfulparenting #babyandmom #oyobaby BABY & MOM RETAIL PVT LTD

"My toddler will only fall asleep if I rock them, and I have to rock them back to sleep multiple times during the night." 🌟This is a common experience many parents share with us. Over time, this reliance on rocking can become even more challenging, especially as your now heavy toddler becomes accustomed to this comforting routine to fall back asleep. 💤 Many parents find that rocking is a comforting way to soothe their baby to sleep. As babies grow, however, they may start to rely on this soothing method to settle. 💤 Gently guiding your little one toward independent sleep is a valuable step that not only improves their sleep quality but also helps build lifelong healthy sleep habits. 🌙 💤Research shows that consistent bedtime routines help little ones feel secure and gradually ease their need for external soothing, like rocking (Mindell et al., 2006). 🌙 One gentle way to start is by gradually reducing the rocking time: try rocking until your child is drowsy but not fully asleep, then place them in their cot. As soon as they're in the cot, gently pat them to help them stay asleep. 🌙 Continue this process so each night they are a little less sleepy. Over time, they’ll associate their cot with sleep rather than needing to be held. 🌙For many families, this transition can feel like a big step. If rocking has become a strong part of your routine, remember it’s never too late to start small, positive changes. ✔ At Millpond Children’s Sleep Clinic, we’ve heard it all as we've been supporting families with their children's sleep for nearly 30 years. We're here to provide you with personalised and supported strategies to make the journey smoother and help your baby develop the confidence to fall asleep peacefully. 🌟 #ChildSleep #ParentingTips #BabySleep #SleepSupport #GentleParenting #rockingtosleep

We built our first app a few years ago, initially designed as a soothing tool for parents with young babies. But here’s the unexpected twist: it’s gaining traction among people dealing with PTSD, anxiety, and sleep difficulties. *Veterans*, especially, have found the light vibrations and calming sounds to be incredibly helpful for relaxation and better sleep. The app uses gentle vibrations and soothing sounds directly from your phone to create a calming atmosphere. While it was designed with babies in mind, its benefits have expanded far beyond that. Whether you’re a parent looking to soothe your child or someone seeking a portable way to relax, this app is always at your fingertips—attach it to a stroller, car seat, or even your bed. I’m curious to see how far we can take this with support from my network. If you’re reading this, please join my experiment! 😊 Download, share it wide and far, and leave a review. I hope it can make a difference for you or someone you know. #Innovation #MentalHealth #MentalWellness #SleepAid #Relaxation #HealthTech #PTSDRecovery #MentalHealthAwareness #VeteranSupport #ParentingHacks #ParentingTips #StressRelief #AnxietyRelief #SleepBetter #Wellness #SelfCare #Mindfulness #MentalHealthMatters #MobileApp #NewParents #VeteranHealth #TechForGood #MentalHealthSupport #StartupLife #CalmMind #BabySoothing #Kickstart #RelaxAndSleep #SupportVeterans #VeteransHealth https://lnkd.in/ey-HFpue
