Understanding babies’ sleep!

We talked about sleep for babies under 6 months: 

  • How babies don’t immediately start sleeping through the night (and neither do we!). 
  • Why they wake and what ‘sleeping through the night’ actually means. 
  • The transition from the womb to ‘outside life’! It’s quite a change! 
  • Can you teach babies ‘bad sleep habits’? 
  • Starting to look at a sleep routine (6-8 weeks) - if you want to. 
  • Introducing a bedtime routine and wind down to naps 
  • 4 month sleep regression (or is it progression?) 
  • Sleep associations – what they go to sleep with needs to be replicated when they wake up. 
  • Are they too tired? Can you put them to bed / nap a bit earlier?

Newborn to Teen and Everything Inbetween - it does exactly what it says on the tin! Join childcare experts Becks and Claire for practical advice about how to communicate with children, at all ages.
There can be a lot of pressure to 'get it right' when it comes to children, which can be quite daunting! Whether you’re a parent, a teacher, TA or childcare worker, or just looking to gain a better understanding of the world through a child’s eyes, Becks and Claire have 25 years of childcare experience to share with you. Listen for reassurance and support to help you navigate tricky conversations, challenging behaviour, complex emotions, and the general day to day pressures of raising and working with children.
This is a judgement-free zone - you won't find a one-size-fits-all rule book here!

Join Becks and Claire for accessible, light-hearted and well researched advice and guidance on the various ways we can tackle the ups and downs of life with children (they've got a great sense of humour too, so if you love a laugh you're in great company!)
