24.01.2022 SAFE SLEEP Here at Bub2sleep, it is our number one priority to always check out bubs sleep environment and make sure families understand the importance of SIDS recommendations. It is absolutely imperative to follow the SIDS safe sleeping guidelines. I am extremely passionate about following the guidelines, it is so important to educate everyone, not only on the science of sleep but also the safe sleep guidelines that can help prevent SIDS.... Sudden Infant Death Syndrome or SIDS is the sudden and unexpected death of an infant under one year of age with an onset of a fatal episode occurring during sleep, that remains unexplained after a thorough investigation. A safe sleeping environment means that all potential dangers have been removed and the baby is sleeping in a safe place. The ideal place for a baby to sleep is in a safe cot, on a safe mattress, with safe bedding in a safe sleeping place, both night and day. (SIDS) SLEEP Risk Factors Laying baby to sleep on the tummy or side (prone or side sleeping position) before the baby is able to roll both front to back and back to front. Cot is to be nowhere near curtains or curtain rope. No Soft sleeping surfaces, no sheepskins etc Overheating/ overwrapping Bed sharing, particularly with mothers who smoke, infants younger than 11 weeks, alcohol consumption, and on a couch or sofa Using soother/pacifier at sleep time, especially in the first 3 months is recommended . Making sure there is nothing but sleepsuit; no teething necklaces, no hair clips, beanies or headband etc. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions at all around safe sleeping. Much love
21.01.2022 Sleep fairy? Wonder woman? I'm just a mama who is passionate about sleep and wants to help guide and support you and your family as much as I can. Sleep is SOO important and I can show you the key to getting a great nights sleep & help you feel confident you can tackle ANY sleep issue in the future Together we can do this
20.01.2022 MAMA SUPPORT Yesterday we posted about the extremely important topic of SIDS, in the picture we used from SIDS it recommended that babies be breastfed to reduce SIDS risk. We know that the journey into parenthood comes with many decisions to be made, for some mummas they choose to not breastfeed, for some, breastfeeding their babies just doesn't work out, we want you to know its OKAY!!! ... You are not alone, everyones feeding journey is different. A fed baby is best Bottle feeding or breast feeding, your baby will still thrive and it does not effect sleep, Breastfed babies and formula-fed babies can still get the same amount of total sleep. Every baby is different, every feeding journey is different. We are here to support each other and make sure your feelings are heard and supported, through sleep issues and beyond See more
20.01.2022 HELLO MR SWEETFACE Check out what mama had to say about working with us From cosleeping to independent sleep, using a dummy to no dummy at all! ‘The best thing I did for my little boy, it was the hardest first couple of nights- there were so many tears involved- both myself and my son, but it turns out, he wanted his own space and sleeps so much better than he ever did. Despite teething and being under the weather during the 2 weeks he was either sleeping through or... waking once a night. Highly recommend for anyone that feels they are ready to move baby to their own space or even to get them sleeping better. I went from cosleeping and being used as a dummy every night to my partner back in my bed and Theo sleeping peacefully in his cot all night every night. I still miss the cuddles but I know that special bond we formed over the first six months is still there and stronger than ever. Thank you Donna, my family couldn’t have done this without you.’ Book your free 15 min chat today to get started so we can get your bubs sleeping better than ever

Its okay if you dont have it all figured out. It's okay you didn't get out of your PJs. It's okay if you had a little cry in the shower. It's okay that bub catnapped today. It's okay if you didn't get the perfect nap. It's okay if bub didn't want to let you go. It's okay if you needed 5 mins to escape. But mama, you kept going despite it all.

19.01.2022 VICTORIAN MAMAS What can I say? These past few months have been, a roller coaster of emotions, stressed, positive, stressed, positive!!! So I think we can all agree that these are extraordinary times, and as such, they require some extraordinary measures to keep everyone sane and halfway functional. For some of us, that probably means some big adjustments to the usual routine.... This whole situation is, obviously, beyond crazy and we have got to do what we have got to do, I get that, but I just wanted to drop in here and give you some support. Please remember, you are not alone. You are doing amazing and you will come out the other side of this I know it feels like the world is on your shoulders and as if us mums didn't have enough to deal with right? Please remember you are enough, your babies think you are the best thing in the world and to them you light up their universe. Take it one day at a time and I am sending you a world of love If I can help in any way please contact me, dm me, email me, get in touch so I can try to ease a tiny bit of your stress Massive love coming your way Xx Donna

13.01.2022 PARENTING It's tough right? We speak to so many mums & dads and most of the time they are exhausted. Absolutely pulling their hair out because bub won't sleep or they once slept well and all of a sudden, they don't anymore ... It's hard, babies NEED sleep in order to grow and develop but they also need love and support As parents we need to always look at sleep as a necessity, something our babies need no matter how hard they fight it... And trust me I know how hard they can fight you To be honest, babies don't come out knowing how to sleep We have to teach them, it's like breast feeding or walking. We are there to guide them and show them the way, but we can't do it for them... As much as we would love to hehe. Remember, nothing you do is wrong. Nothing needs to be changed if it's working for you! But we are here if you need a chat, always We offer a FREE 15 min phone chat, which will help guide you and gain some better understanding behind the science of sleep.

I live in Sydney with my beautiful little family, husband Tim and baby Van who is almost 9 months. From the day Van was born we were certain our baby was allergic to sleep.

10.01.2022 Preventing Night-Time Wakeups A question that I get asked all the time, My baby always falls asleep fantastically at bedtime, but we are still having night wake-ups. EXHAUSTING RIGHT? First of all ... BEDTIME is the first place to look. It is the first place where a child can learn great sleep skills and then we can start expecting them to consolidate that to the rest of the night. If your baby is not falling asleep independently at bedtime then that would definitely be contributing to still have night wake-ups Getting a baby to sleep independently at bedtime would absolutely be the first thing you should do. Lets say that you have done that. In that case, well done, that is awesome. You have really overcome one of the biggest hurdles now we just have to get Bub to apply this to the rest of the night. What can sometimes happen with babies, is that they are usually still having a night feed. This has become a habit rather than needing to have the calories at night, night-time is for sleep, for the digestion to rest and for the body to heal. After the age of 6 months old babies can go through the night without a feed. The tough news around that is that the only way to break this habit is to stop offering the feed. Always check with your doctor. There needs to be good weight and no health issues. If we are talking about an 8 month old, or a 10 month old, even a 6 month old, and they are still having a feed during the night but are healthy, then it maybe just a habit and you will have to drop it. It really should only take, between one to three nights to get bubs sleeping all the way through without the feed. It can be the same with any kind of sleep prop dependency in the middle of then night. Maybe she is falling asleep independently at bedtime, but now in the middle of the night she requires a visit from you or a cuddle from you, and that is the same thing. She has fallen into a bit of a habit around this and the only way to change it is to break the habit. Leave your questions below or contact me to book a FREE sleep chat

07.01.2022 Yesterday was Eloises 15 birthday I always love my girls birthdays, celebrating the day they entered our lives. It is hands down my 3 most favourite days of my life Eloises especially, as that was the day I became a Mum for the first time. I had NO idea what to expect or how it would feel... Growing her inside my belly was just a miracle, the movements, the talking to her, not knowing how she would look or what she would be like! For me, I had to have a Caesarean, as she was frank breech. Her legs were up near her ears. I was really upset as I wanted her to be born on the day she should have, not what Doctors chose for her. The night before surgery, there was a huge thunderstorm and my waters broke. I was relieved she was choosing to come that day I remember being so excited and sooo nervous and Dave was cool as a cucumber which annoyed me as I wanted him to feel like I did, but now I realise that sometimes Dads just dont get it I also was now worried about the horror stories people love to tell you about being cut open and still feeling things!! Mummas it doesnt happen! It was a strange thought though of being awake and they pull my baby out. It was all amazing! I remember the very second I laid eyes on her, I loved her instantly. I didnt like that I had to wait to cuddle her as they stitched me up. I couldnt wait to get to her. If I could go back and chat with myself when I became a mum for the first time. I would still say good on you for having sleep knowledge for your Newborn, that 100% reduced my anxiety on becoming a mother!! But also, try not to worry about everything, just love your baby, hold your baby, feed your baby. And listen to your mummy instinct more. If your baby is in a safe, loving home, then nothing you do is wrong. And remember everything takes time and lots of practice. That some days you will have really crappy days for no reason, those days will pass. And you will feel like you just get one age sorted and then they grow and it changes all over again. This is all so normal and part of being a parent, in a blink of an eye your baby will be 15!!! Enjoy the crazy, beautiful, overwhelming ride @ Perth, Western Australia See more
06.01.2022 BECOMING A MUM It's one of the most rewarding, challenging, joyful times of our lives right? BUT it's also terrifying, lonely & overwhelming. There is so much to learn but so little time to learn it. There's so much info but where do you start? There's family telling you one thing but your instincts are telling you another. The information overload is enough to get you confused, overwhelmed and even scared to reach out for help.... I HEAR YOU, MAMA! Every mama I work with need SUPPORT. They need the little light in their corner telling them it's going to be okay. They need guidance, someone to drown out the white noise of information. That's where I come in It's my mission to help you find a safe space where you can ask questions and feel connected On Sunday, June 28th ill be joining forces with some wonderful mamas in business to bring you EVERYTHING you need to know as a new mum. I'm talking, mindfulness, lactation support, sleep tips and more I will obviously be sharing my BEST sleep tips because you deserve it Join me the link is in my bio See more

06.01.2022 Talking about REGRESSIONS (Leaps)
05.01.2022 NEW REVIEW Donna was the perfect fit for our familys sleep journey. Her gentle approach, tailored program and guidance every step of the way meant that we achieved what we came to achieve. Our daughter went from relying on being fed, rocked or patted in order to get to sleep (sometimes for up to 45 minutes at a time ). Within a few short weeks we have a baby that not only self settles, but is now achieving longer day naps and is generally a happier bub. Donna has truly found her calling Swipe to see some cuteness @ Perth, Western Australia
04.01.2022 Loved writing this piece for BaoBag
04.01.2022 SLEEP TRAINING MYTHS Here are my top three myths about teaching babies and toddlers to self settle and sleep through the night Myth 1 Your baby will not love you in the morning ... The truth is that making changes to anyones sleep habits will always be met with some resistance. As long as you are a loving and attentive parent in the first place, the love will endure In fact, most people find that once their baby is sleeping well, shes even happier and healthier than before! Myth 2 Sleep training means leaving your baby to cry it out. First off, The Sleep Sense Program is NOT a cry-it-out program In fact, you can stay in your childs room with them the whole time if that makes you feel more comfortable The bottom line is that its not the crying that gets a baby sleeping well. The crying is simply your babys reaction to the change in his or her sleep habits, nothing more. Myth 3: Sleep training is too stressful for babies First off, there is no evidence that sleep training has any short term or long term psychological effects on children. So you can cross that off your list of things to worry about As for those who say that a few nights of crying are too stressful? Well, I say youve really got two choices: Make some changes. This usually involves a few nights of your child crying for 10 40 minutes at bedtime. After a few nights, most children start to learn how to fall asleep independently and the crying stops completely shortly thereafter. Do nothing. In this scenario, the parent continues to nurse / rock / bounce their child to sleep every night. The child wakes up 1 10 times per night, and needs to be nursed / rocked / bounced back to sleep each time. If one or more of these three myths have been holding you back from taking the simple steps needed to create long term, positive change for your childs sleep, I really hope Ive been able to change your mind. As always, Im here for you when youre ready to get started.

04.01.2022 WHITE NOISE Your baby has heard white noise since it he/she was in your belly. Your heartbeat, whooshing of fluid, or even just your breaths in and out. They have spent 9 months with this lulling them to sleep so we can help assist sleep by implementing a white noise machine for every nap Benefits of a white noise machine?... Drowns out external noises like cars, talking, dogs barking etc. Creates a consistent sleep association. Helps babies fall asleep faster. Helps bub stay asleep. Creates a comforting, calming environment. Tips for your white noise machine Have a consistent sound, no lullabys or fading in and out. The sound need to be constant the whole nap. No timers- the white noise should stay on until nap or sleep is over. Volume- It doesnt need to be loud. If you think its too loud... its probably too loud. Place it in the corner of the room away from the cot. Definitely not in the cot. Do I need to buy a white noise machine? No not at all, you can use anything you have, YouTube, apps, machines, portable machines, vacuum machines () as long is its consistent Leave questions about white noise below See more
03.01.2022 REGRESSIONS As a new parent, you’ve surely heard the term sleep regression from a friend, parent, or anyone else you’ve talked to Or maybe you heard 'argh he's just going through a leap' ?? ... We get lots of questions and comments regarding regressions and leaps, mostly all bad comments or opinions. Whenever something goes topsy turvy with sleep we all seem to quickly jump on board the regression train. At bub2sleep we like to think of these times as progressions, something that should be looked on as an exciting time Simply put it is a phase when bub is going through a developmental stage, they might be learning to crawl, walk, roll over, learning to pick up objects etc. For them, to progress in a certain area they normally regress in another. HOWEVER, the only REAL regression that is backed by science is the 4-month regression. SCIENCE OF SLEEP Sleep has 4 different stages, and they make up the sleep cycle, which we go through repeatedly night. Stage 1- the first stage where you can just feel yourself drifting off, but don’t feel like you have fallen asleep. Stage 2- considered the first true sleep stage. This is where people tend to realize, once woken up, that they were sleeping. Stage 3- deep and regenerative. this is where the body starts repairing and rejuvenating the immune system, muscles tissue, energy stores, and sparks growth and development. Stage 4- REM sleep. This is where the brain starts to fire and consolidates information and memories from the day before. Newborn babies only have 2 stages of sleep; stage 3 and REM, and they spend about half their sleep in each stage. But at around the third or fourth month, there is a reorganization of sleep, as they embrace the 4-stage method of sleep that is adult-like and they will continue to follow for the rest of their lives. Of course their little life is being rocked around sleep is going to be affected!! So what can we do to support bub? AGE APPROPRIATE WAKE TIMES DARKROOM WHITE NOISE TEMPERATURE EAT, PLAY, SLEEP, REPEAT BEDTIME ROUTINE MESSEGE ME Truth us a baby that knows how to sleep will only ever have hiccups along the road
03.01.2022 DAYCARE We get soooo many questions about daycare. So if you have a bub whos starting daycare, or has started and sleep has gone out the window here are my 3 top tips for Daycare ... 1 When looking for a daycare, Find out how they actually get babies to fall asleep Some daycares are great and they will do whatever you ask them to do, which, should be the way it is. But this doesnt always happen. You are the parent. Be very clear and say, I always put my babies down, awake, and they fall asleep on their own. All they need is a dark, quiet environment, and a cot of their own and they will sleep well, why wouldnt they want that? That makes their job much easier. You need to find out whats going on when they are getting babies to sleep in the first place. If its the total opposite of what you have worked really hard to create at home, then you need to keep looking for another suitable daycare. 2 If your babies are already at a day care, investigate why your babies are not sleeping well at daycare What I tell everyone to do when you are searching for the right day-care is find out what do they do around naptime. Are things scheduled? Do they have a quiet place to sleep? Is it dark? Or is it just, Oh, if they fall asleep in the pram, then great, and just go on like that? You really need to investigate a little bit and find out if the situation is conducive to what you have created at home. 3 Early night If the daycare do what you ask and they have tried really hard and the babies are still not sleeping well, then just put your grumpy babies down early for the night, this could be as early as 5.45pm. Do your normal bedtime routine then put them into bed by 6pm 4 Routine, when home Because more than likely they are not going to daycare every day, then on the days they are home with you and sleeping great, then it is no problem to hang on to your normal bedtime and routine. Stick to that during the days bub isnt at daycare. Also remember this also goes for staying at grandparents houses too hehe. Any daycare questions? Leave them below @flissandco

02.01.2022 I don't know if you know this, but I'm a self confessed sleep NERD I LOVEEEEEE all things sleep, it rules my life but who doesn't love sleep right? Haha I got to meet the awesome Dr Andrew Leech and chat about sleep last week, we recorded a podcast and it was great!
01.01.2022 I LOVE getting messages like these What can I say! My baby Sebastian was a dream sleeper until 5 months and all of a sudden he would get up every 2 hours from 9pm all night long! Sometimes I would be awake trying to settle him for up to 3.5 hrs. After weeks of no sleep and my husband sleeping on the couch and having to feed him constantly to sleep, we found Donna! ... With just a few tweaks he stated sleeping longer and longer every night. The best thing was settling him became very easy and it was a gentle method that we felt comfortable with. He didn't sleep through the first or second night but slowly over the two weeks he started to sleep More and more. Now most nights he sleeps 11hrs sometimes 12 and we have to wake him! Sure we have some early mornings or off days with him but he is only human. I've even contacted Donna after the program finished and she still gets back to me. If anyone is having sleep problems with their babies don't hesitate to contact Donna!!!!! We wish we had done it sooner. We cannot thank you enough or family is so much happier xxx This is why I do what I do
