23.01.2022 Toddler sleep issues?? If youre worried that your child sleep problem is too hard to fix with *just* a phone consultation, you NEED to read this post from a mama we helped recently... TL;DR - single mum of 18 month old who had never slept through and consistently woke up to 8 times a night had tried other sleep training unsuccessfully but happily had her toddler sleeping like an angel after just two nights of the plan we helped her with. ... SUCCESS STORY Hi Mummies and Daddies, I just wanted to do a quick post to share my success story to help those that are confused or nervous about helping your bubba sleep. So, my little girl is 18 months old and had never ever, I MEAN NEVER, slept through the night. She would wake up a minimum 2 times and up to 8 times per night since birth, (which is exhausting to even think about right)! I had finally hit the big wall and was desperate for help (after trying and failed different "sleep training") and being a single mum, this stuff is hard to manage on very little sleep. Anyway, I nervously booked an hour phone consult with Katie. The phone call alone made me feel somewhat empowered and positive that this was the best decision I could make for myself and my babys happiness and wellbeing. I am a mum who can not deal with my baby crying, I am quite the attached mummy and of course I knew there was going to be some tears so I was quite hesitant at the start. After explaining my situation to Katie, she gave me 2 options to work with and I chose what I personally though was my best one. To cut the story short, The first night was hard, but It was so so much easier the second and third, but guess what, it only took one night and MY BABY IS SLEEPING LIKE AN ANGEL!! Sleeping through the night, or waking once but after a sort grizzle she lays herself back down and goes back to sleep. Honestly this has been the best thing I have done. I can now focus on being the best mum I can be as I am no longer a walking zombie with a short fuse. If you are thinking of contacting Katie and hesitant, do it!! You will not regret it Good on you if you got this far down the long winded post

16.01.2022 I dont know who needs to hear this but if we could just change the thinking from homeschooling to homecoping a lot more people would be okay with it. Our kids will be FINE!! We just need to cope with the bare minimum for these couple of months. Coping! Not schooling.

16.01.2022 So excited!! Feedback on The Official Guide to Newborn Sleep has been so positive and then yesterday I was contacted by a couple of private obstetricians and a doula to discuss including the guide in their packages for expecting parents. :) Did you use an obstetrician or doula who might like to know that this is an option for their patients? Let me know below! Meanwhile, heres a sneak peek of whats inside our newborn guide...

13.01.2022 Winter in Australia...definitely easy to handle @ Coffs Harbour, New South Wales

13.01.2022 Attn: Tired toddler parents Meet Noah...at 19 months of age he was due to meet his new baby sister in a matter of weeks and his mother was beyond desperate because she couldn’t see how their current situation could possibly work once her new baby joined the family. Pic of gorgeous Noah in comments, we can’t post photo and video together. Noah needed to be rocked to sleep on the side of her lap for an hour or so each evening (massive preggo belly made this a bit awkward) ...and woke most nights and it was a Russian roulette of either straight back to sleep or up for three hours. How could this work when there was a newborn as well? While Noah’s dad is a very loving and hands on parent, he has a medical condition that means he is unable to actively participate in helping with the kids overnight. We did a bedtime consultation and both parents agreed that it was NO WHERE NEAR as bad as they thought it was going to be. Within twenty minutes he was sleeping soundly in his cot. He woke at 1am, they stuck to the plan and he was straight back to sleep four minutes later. Second night onwards he gave his mother a kiss and lay down straight to sleep. And slept through. This continues on now a week later! The video on this post is Noah on night four after a loving bedtime routine with books and cuddles...just laying down to go to sleep contented and happy.

13.01.2022 Lets talk about individualised sleep plans! Today I worked with a family of a 6 year old who doesnt go to sleep until around 10/11pm and still wakes up to 4 times per night for reassurance and cuddles. We sat around the table and negotiated a contract moving forward. We met the issue with love and understanding but also firm expectations on behaviour moving forward... I have no doubt that I am one of Evies least favourite people right now but thats fine. I just want mum,... dad and child to get the deep restorative sleep they need! Check comments for the back up video I just sent the parents to reinforce the positive message just prior to bedtime. We LOVE well slept families and we are all about helping you get there YOUR way!!! Katie & the baby sleep team

10.01.2022 What is something that you wish someone had told you to prepare for having your first child? More the looky-afty bit that the pushy-outy bit

10.01.2022 Tell me this isn’t what happens at your house...

10.01.2022 I love it when families are *this* excited for us to come and help get them sweet sweet sleep! Sometimes I think of sleep deprivation like a toxic sludge that can work its way into every part of family life. Your mental health. Your eating habits. Your online shopping! Your relationship with your partner. Your relationship with the older kids (that one is normally the one that makes mums tear up if I mention it). Your mental health. Your work. Your safety! (I can’t even count... how many people booked in with us because they had a car accident) The price of unnecessary sleep deprivation can be terribly high. Everyone expects to be tired in the newborn phase...we’re ready for that. But what about once they have started solids, started crawling, turned one (all the stages people claim will make it better!) and they still sleep like crap?? We can help with that. It isn’t easy but for just about every single family we work with, it’s worth it. Katie & the baby sleep team

10.01.2022 I dont know who needs to hear this right now but honestly...if your baby is teeny tiny (like you still count their age in weeks!) then I want you to give yourself permission to do *whatever works* to get them sleeping. Boob to sleep? Cuddle while they nap? Safely co-sleep? ... Carrier for naps? Drowsy but awake?? Please dont worry about the elusive drowsy but awake when your little one is still small! Its a bit of a unicorn to be honest. Most babies will go back to being awake within 0.00001 of a second Please dont worry about making a rod for your own back. If I - a sleep expert - had a baby right now I would be holding that bub all day long, watching Netflix and ordering Uber Eats like a bloody champ.

09.01.2022 A Fathers Day post with a difference... Today my social feeds have been full of happily married mamas posting about how much they appreciate their other half and thats BEAUTIFUL! I am genuinely so happy for all those families. I too completely appreciate the father of my children but our story is a little bit different...we have been separated for nearly 7 years now and I can honestly say that at this point we are ROCKING co-parenting.... It hasnt been easy and it certainly wasnt like this at the start (and there have been tricky patches in the interim too)...but all three of our kids *know* that their parents are united on the important issues and will have each others back on any hard decision. We are each others best friend and that will never change. He and I shared the triumphs and the lows that is having a young family together and we will always care for each other enormously. As I said to him the other day... We may not have been able to show these kids a good marriage but were showing them a BLOODY AMAZING divorce. Happy Fathers Day to all the married, separated, divorced, widowed and single dads out there FYI: First pic is his most recent birthday when my partner made him a wall hanging of antique fire extinguishers (he is a firefighter). Best. Present. Ever!

09.01.2022 How can I tackle toddler sleep issues? My little one needs me to lay/rock/feed/pat/cuddle/sing/dance so that shell go to sleep (or back to sleep). Can I help her sleep independently? Or will I need to face due North singing the wheels on the bus while standing on one foot and mopping my toddlers brow with the tears of virgin unicorns forever??? We answer YOUR child sleep questions on our page on Fridays via video. ... Katie & the baby sleep team Edit: watched it back and I accidentally said my eldest is in primary school now. Clearly if you know me at all you know I meant high school

08.01.2022 Overnight wakings: biologically normal?? This is something I see in mothers groups all the time and I am now brave enough to address it in a Friday night video! Yes, its biologically normal but lots of things are! Fussy eating...anger issues...picking your nose and eating it. All biologically normal. Just because its biologically normal it doesnt mean we need to accept it as the status quo. ... Katie & the baby sleep team

08.01.2022 We are Australias leading team of baby sleep consultants and we are here to answer YOUR child sleep questions via video every Friday! TAG a friend who needs to know! What even IS sleep training? Is it always controlled crying?? Or could it be what you are already trying?? Maybe you are ANTI sleep training but are already actually doing it according to our definition...?! We give you OUR definition of those controversial words in tonights video. ... Please tell us what you think!! Katie & the baby sleep team

06.01.2022 Is feeding/holding/rocking/bouncing your tiny baby to sleep making a rod for your own back?? We think NOT!! So please tag a friend who is struggling with this so they can hear that its TOTALLY FINE!! We hope this helps some mum struggling because the books tell her that her tiny baby *needs* to be self settling ... Katie & the baby sleep team

05.01.2022 If you know a TIRED parent, they need to read this! We are implementing some changes so that families who need sleep can still get sleep even though #theworldhasgonemad We are holding two sleep workshops next week but the difference is we will be asking that participants nominate and pay what they can. What *they* can afford right now.... The actual cost is $150 but if you cant afford that because #theworldhasgonemad and people dont have secure incomes etc, we want you to know we still want to help you get the sleep you deserve. We will only invoice you for what you nominate as what your family can afford right now. You will still get all the help and support you need no matter how much you nominate. No one else will ever know how much you nominate to pay except us. The *other* change we have brought in is that effective immediately ALL phone consultations have a 100% money back guarantee on improvement. If you follow what we say, keep in touch and implement what we think will help and STILL see no improvement in a month we will absolutely give you your money back. We dont want anyone risking money in the current economic climate! We are sure we can help with behavioural sleep problems and dont you want to risk money you cant afford to lose with no wins You can register for our 5 month to 2 year sleep workshop here --> https://bit.ly/2UyGWeH You can register for our 3 to 5 year sleep workshop here --> https://bit.ly/2UhEJVP Any questions about either or if youd like to book a phone consultation, hit us up here --> [email protected] Stay safe beautiful sleep family Katie & the baby sleep team

03.01.2022 Oh gosh this makes me so sad. If I had a tiny baby and he needed to be held as he slept I would absolutely hold the CRAP out of that kid!! Tiny babies need cuddles and that is FINE!! Please dont worry about making a rod for your own back at this stage, its totally normal
