2020-11-14T14:32:05+10:00November 14th, 2020|Attachment Parenting, Creative Breastfeeding, Sleep Challenges|

So, imagine yourself sitting around a circle with other mothers. And as per usual, the conversation turns to how much our babies are sleeping and how often they are feeding. I'm sure this isn't hard to imagine as it can be a weekly occurrence for many of us! As we sit there we start to [...]

2020-07-22T13:59:57+10:00July 22nd, 2020|Creative Breastfeeding, Sleep Challenges|

I read an article recently that almost made me cry. It's about a celebrity that is really struggling to get her toddler to sleep. My heart breaks for her for two reasons. Firstly, because I completely understand her exhaustion and wanting her child to sleep. And secondly, because she was given bad advice that she [...]

When frequent night-waking is not normal. Breastfeeding a baby with sleep apnoea…

2019-06-24T17:08:35+10:00November 6th, 2018|Sleep Challenges|

I am constantly going on about how frequent night-waking (especially for breastfed children) is normal. The biocultural and biological norm.

I am not talking about the babies who naturally just don't fall asleep breastfeeding or those who find that it just doesn't work for them.

Well, another mainstream media article about sleep training and cry it out is now making the rounds online again. Doctors telling people their babies need to be fed on four hourly schedules and left to cry so they can self-settle. When will this insanity stop?! When will this rubbish stop being published?
