You’ve probably heard it before but I can assure you I’m not about to sell you black out blinds.

What I will tell you is the evidence behind why it’s so important. ⬇️

Studies show that our circadian rhythm (the internal body clock) that regulates sleep and wake patterns, is largely shaped by light and darkness. When babies are exposed to light at night, especially during sleep time, it can confuse their body clock and throw off that natural rhythm, causing disruption to their sleep.

So how do you achieve a room that’s super dark? 🤔

If block out blinds aren’t an option… I recommend aluminium foil on the windows. It’s not pretty but I know I’d prefer a baby that’s sleeping better than a pretty window.

Dummies – are they worth it or not?

They can be a lifesaver in the early months, helping to soothe and settle your little one. But here’s the catch, once your baby hits the stage where the dummy keeps falling out overnight and they’re not quite old enough to find it, it can mean you’re up and down constantly to replace it. 🥴

✨ My take?
100% recommend until around 4 months of age.

If you have a little one between 4 and 7 months and the dummy is causing you to get up and replace it, I would recommend getting rid of it. The good news is it doesn’t take them long to adjust without it.

If your Bub is older than 8 months, now is the time to teach them to replace it. I recommend putting a few in their cot and tapping the mattress to help them find it. Also lots of practice through the day.

And when is it time to send it to the dummy fairies? 🧚‍♀️

I recommend around 3 as they have a great understanding and rewards can be your best friend. 👍🏻

If your baby wakes after their first sleep cycle (between 30 and 50 minutes), this is what we call a false start. There are a few reasons this could happen. 🤓

1. Sleep pressure. This is a biological process where the body produces chemicals like adenosine, leaving the baby feeling sleepier the longer they’re awake.
False starts typically happen when they’ve had too much sleep pressure causing them to be overtired. Their body spikes in cortisol making it harder for them to stay asleep.

2. Circadian Rhythm. Their internal body clock can hugely impact their ability to stay asleep. If it’s out of sync due to day naps being all over the place or bedtime being different every night, this can contribute to false starts.

So here’s some tips! ⬇️

🕐 Watch their awake windows and look for sleepy cues.

🛁 Create a predictable wind down routine that calms your little one.

💡 Consistent bedtime.

Ensuring your little one can also fall asleep independently is going to mean they can move past this false start without needing assistance from you.

When days are predictable, nights are calmer. Here’s why having a routine is so important for night sleep.

1. It protects sleep pressure
A consistent routine helps your baby build the right amount of sleep pressure across the day.
Too little day sleep → overtired → cortisol rises → harder to fall and stay asleep at night.
Too much or mistimed sleep → not enough pressure → long night wakings or early starts.

2. It regulates their internal body clock
Consistent timing of feeds, naps, light exposure and bedtime trains their circadian rhythm.

3. It prevents overtiredness (one of the biggest sleep disruptors)
Irregular days often mean missed tired signs and stretched wake windows. An overtired nervous system is wired, not calm usually leading to false starts, frequent wakes, and early mornings.

Do you need help with a routine? DM ‘ROUTINE’ and I’ll send you one for your babies age.

This mother thought maybe sleep just wasn’t an option for her and her baby until they started working with me and these 3 steps transformed his sleep!

1. Found the right nap times to suit.
Building enough sleep pressure is key when it comes to extending those naps to ensure they’re restorative and supports the baby and their overnight sleep.

2. Adjustment to the sleep environment
Dark room, white noise and the right temp all play a huge factor in the consolidation of sleep.

3. Solid plan for teaching independent sleep.
This step is an important one! Having a clear plan provided to you with “how to” and “what if” sections make it so clear for parents to follow.

If you’re struggling with your babies sleep and you don’t know what to do next, send me a DM. Let’s chat! ✨

There’s a lot of loud opinions right now:
“Sleep training is damaging”
“It’s no longer about you when you become a parent”
“Your baby belongs on your chest”
Most of it comes from people who aren’t working with families that are so sleep deprived that it’s effecting their relationships, mental health, their physical wellbeing and so on!

Here’s the truth:
Sleep training is not neglecting your baby and it’s not selfish to teach your baby independent sleep!

What is harmful is shaming parents for wanting sleep, mental clarity and a regulated nervous system, for themselves and their baby.

If you’re seeing posts that make you feel guilty, anxious or like you’re “doing damage,” please know this:
You’re allowed to support your baby’s sleep whilst having a baby that feels loved and supported. ✨❤️

"Amanda has changed our life for the better for our little one, we were struggling to get into a bed time routine that was do able with having a newborn as well, Amanda's sleep plan was easy to follow and has completely changed how our 2.5 year old sleeps and how she just rests in bed if she awakes earlier.

Thank you so much Amanda for your help."
