08.01.2022 Further to my previous post..... Apologies for the copy and paste of text of this Herald Sun article, rather than just putting the Herald Sun article link in. The article link can't be accessed by people who aren't digital online subscribers to the Herald Sun (sooo frustrating). It is such an important article, I thought the copy and paste of block text was worth it HERALD SUN ARTICLE...Continue reading
08.01.2022 Hi everyone and welcome to the Baby and Child Sleep matters Facebook page. My name is Maryanne Sayers and I am Mum to 2 beautiful children. I am a fully certified baby / child sleep consultant and a member of IMPI (International and Maternity and Parenting Institute), and also APSC (Association of Professional Sleep Consultants). Ive been working with families for 15 years now and in that time, have helped hundreds and hundreds of families. I have been an international key...note speaker on baby sleep at an overseas Infant Health and Wellness Conference in 2019, I am a regular columnist for a parenting magazine. I am also a frequent guest speaker and contributor at many community parenting forums, workshops and seminars and have also had many articles published in various publications including Kidspot. This page hopefully will be a worthwhile and valuable resource for parents in regards to education on establishing healthy sleep patterns with your babies / toddlers. I will be running a Facebook Live topic talk sessions as well as Q and A live sessions. Sharing important articles etc. Please spread the word and let people know about this page. Thank you
07.01.2022 Hi everyone - hope you are all well. Keep spreading the word on this page, we have some really great content and coming up - including commencing regular Facebook Live "Q and A" sessions as well as "Topic Talk" sessions. But more on that later. For now, let's have a conversation about screen time. One of the biggest "threats" for all of us in relation to our sleep health and our children's sleep health - is the advent of the technology age....and along with that all the va...rious screens we are being exposed to every single day. Toddlers from as young as 18 months spending hours on screens every day. There is 100 % no doubt that excessive amounts of screen time for us as adults, has an impact on the quality of our sleep, and even our ability to be able to fall asleep in the first place. And it's exactly the same for our children. Each of us should stop and think (as in REALLY think)... How many hours each day are my children on screens for? And are they on screens right before bedtime? Keeping a diary log for a few days of each and every time our kids are on screens for (and also noting the time of the day they are on), is a very useful exercise - and one which can be quite a shock. When you know what you are dealing with in terms of your child's ACTUAL screen time on a day to day basis - then from there, you make a conscious and active effort to regulate / reduce screen time (if its needed). In Australia, the current recommendation is for no more than 2 hours of screen time for children, with screen time NOT recommended for children under 2 years. Please see the following post, which is copy of text from an article written by journalist Lanai Scarr.

03.01.2022 I certainly dont profess to be an expert on ADHD or ADD. However, I have believed for a long time that there is a strong link with ADHD / ADD in children and long term / sustained sleep deprivation starting from when the child was an infant. https://www.google.com.au//the-relationship-between-adhd-a
