It's a common question I get asked all the time -

It's a common question I get asked all the time - "Steph, why do you recommend a sleep suit over a sleeping bag"?

Here's 5 reasons why -

1. Safety - wearing a sleep suit creates a safe sleeping environment for your little one because there's no need for loose, bulky bedding, completely eliminating the risk of their head and face being covered.

2. Warmth - sleep suits with arms and legs covered help to keep babies and children snug and cosy all night long.

3. Movement - sleep suits allow for a free range of movement in the sleep space. Sleeping bags can frustrating especially for toddlers.

4. Association - sleep suits provide a strong association with sleep and they can be worn at bedtime, through the night and for day naps too.

5. Complete the bedtime - putting your little one in their cosy, warm sleep suit at the end of their bedtime routine helps to signal the day has come to an end and the night is just about to start.

We'd love to hear from you - do you prefer using sleep suits or sleeping bags?

My signature course, FOUNDATIONS FIRST™ will set you up with everything you need to know about setting up the ideal, cosy environment to achieve sleep success for your little one. Comment FOUNDATIONS to learn more.

When you force yourself to stay awake longer than

When you force yourself to stay awake longer than you want to, it doesn’t feel good. In fact, if you keep on doing it, night after night, you start to feel it throughout your whole body. This why pushing anyone – you or your little one – beyond their tiredness isn’t helpful. Instead, you need to learn about the tired signs.

Some common early tired signs in newborns are burying their head into your shoulder, yawning, arching their back, and frowning. Older babies and children might show different tired signs – like becoming clingy and hyperactive or having meltdowns. Your little one is unique, so they may show some of these signs and some different ones too.

During my discussions with parents, I often hear t

During my discussions with parents, I often hear them say their little one is a “high-needs (HN)” baby. They've been told or read that the sleep and routine challanges they are experiencing are simply due to the "high needs" temperament of their baby and there's not a lot they can do to change that.

Interestingly, I was told by our paediatrician that our middle boy, Harry, was a "high-needs" baby at the ripe old age of 12 weeks.

He was (and is not) a "high-needs" baby... he was simply exhausted.

Having a toddler who is scared of the dark and mon

Having a toddler who is scared of the dark and monsters is a really common scenario that I chat to parents about.

Watch this reel to find out the BEST way to approach a scared toddler.

If night-time for you and your older baby, toddler

If night-time for you and your older baby, toddler, child, tween or teen looks like being up and playing, cuddling, watching TV, moving around, and having snacks or even meals, your bodies aren’t getting the chance to work in the healthy way they were designed to, and your child needs your help to resolve this.

When your little one is waking frequently at night-time and unable to go back to sleep, there’s always a reason.

Sometimes it’s related to their basic needs, like if they’re hungry because they haven’t had enough calories during the day, or if they’re exhausted and in “overdrive” because they haven’t been getting enough total sleep recently.

And sometimes it’s related to HOW they fall asleep each time they go to bed, and whether or not those conditions are still the same when they rouse naturally during the night.
