My approach to sleep solutions is unique - you wont find any one-size-fits-all solutions offered here. Many sleep consultant's and sleep approaches ignore a child's emotions and focus on the physical needs of sleep, nutrition and associations- simply by using a behavioral approach to "FIX" the problem. I tailor your sleep service to fit your family and find solutions that parents are comfortable implementing. Working together to find solutions that are holistic and will benefit both the child’s and the parent’s lives. Check our website for full description of services and rates

✨ Why I Chose Sleep Consulting for Us ✨ As a Sleep Consultant, Lactation Consultant, HypnoBirthing practitioner, Tongue Tie Specialist, and Endorsed Midwife, I've seen firsthand the magic of gentle, responsive sleep support. And when it came to my own family, using these tried and tested, brain and developmentally friendly gentle methods was a no-brainer!

🤝 Team Sleep: It truly allows us all to get on team sleep! When everyone feels supported and understands the approach, the journey becomes so much smoother.

🌱 Healthy Development: Supporting healthy sleep isn't just about longer nights; it genuinely supports your little one's overall healthy development.

👶 Responsive Approach: We choose to do it in a responsive manner, always honouring your baby's cues and your parental instincts.

🧠 Bonding & Brains: It profoundly supports bonding and crucial brain development during those precious early years.

⏰ Age-Appropriate Habits: We focus on developing age-appropriate sleep habits that grow with your child, creating a foundation for a lifetime of good sleep.

🌈 Flexible & Gentle: And perhaps best of all, it's NOT an all-or-nothing approach! We work with you to find what feels right and sustainable for your family.

😴 The Sneaky Truth About Sleep Debt! 🤯

Hey Groovy Parents, Amanda Bude here from www.GroovyBabies.com.au 👋

Following up on our chat about waking a sleeping baby, I want to introduce you to a concept that's often the culprit behind bedtime battles and chronic night-waking... Sleep Debt. 🧐

It sounds counterintuitive, but letting your baby constantly "catch up" on sleep by taking super long, erratic naps during the day can actually backfire in a big way when it comes to night-time settling.

What is Sleep Debt in Babies?

It’s when your baby accrues a deficit of sleep because they consistently aren’t getting enough quality, restorative sleep during their optimal periods. And here’s the kicker: your baby might look exhausted, but too much daytime sleep doesn't automatically mean better night sleep.

Instead, those long, late afternoon naps can:

Shift their entire sleep rhythm later, making a good, early bedtime impossible.

Increase cortisol levels (that stress hormone!), making them overtired, wired, and harder to settle when the time comes.

Lead to multiple night wakings because their sleep pressure (the natural drive to sleep) isn't high enough to sustain a long stretch.

Remember, consistency is King (or Queen)! 👑

This is why, as tough as it is, establishing age-appropriate wake windows and cap-ping those naps when needed, we help create healthy sleep pressure that drives a beautiful, consolidated night sleep.

It's all about balance, not banking hours while understanding there can be very real reasons why your little one struggles with sleep. Hello feeding issues and oral restrictions I'm looking at you for one.

Do you struggle with long, late afternoon naps that ruin your evenings? Tell me your biggest sleep-debt struggle in the comments! 👇

Love and peaceful nights,

💣 The TRUTH about TONGUE TIES!!!😛

Let's bust some myths! Here's a summary of some common myths surrounding tongue ties. Let's get the facts straight. 😜

Where do I come in? Clarity, guidance and non-judgmental help is what I offer, as well as clinical experience working with a paediatric dentist within a tongue tie clinic.

Each baby needs accurate individual assessment, planning and support when it comes to feeding. I use specific tools to provide this for you and your child.

Whether a frenectomy is indicated there are specific steps to follow which include 👅 Assessment,
👅 Establishment of milk supply,
👅 Body work preparation and I
👅 IBCLC support before and after release.

This sets you and your baby up for “optimal timing ” release and recovery.

Frenulum restrictions are individual between children and the function can vary so much.

If you're unsure or are dealing with a tie, please send me a message or book a consultation here

🌸 Do I Need to Prep My Ni***es for Birth? 🌸

I was asked this morning and thought – what a great question to share with you all!

✨ Short answer: NO, you absolutely don’t need to "prep" your ni***es before birth.

This is one of those outdated pieces of advice that needs retiring! 🙅‍♀️

👶 Your body is already doing what it needs to. Around your ar**la are the amazing Montgomery’s glands, those tiny pimple-like bumps work to...

✔️ Secrete natural oils to fight bacteria

✔️ Lubricate and soften the ni**le area

✔️ Maintain the right pH balance for baby's skin

🧴 Using soaps, shampoos, or some lotions on this area can actually dry out and disrupt this natural system. So, remember:
✨

Instead, here’s what you can do to prepare...

💡 Learn the basics of breastfeeding – knowledge is power!

💬 Book an Antenatal Breastfeeding Consultation with me – Medicare rebates available

👙 Invest in a good, supportive nursing bra (get it in the last few weeks of pregnancy when your size is more accurate)

🩷 Grab some reusable nursing pads – gentle on skin and eco-friendly

❓ Concerned about flat or inverted ni***es? Don’t panic – reach out for individual advice and support

You are NOT alone in this journey – every mama deserves compassionate, evidence-based guidance. 🌿

🗣Rather than eliminating food as the 1st and immediate response to an uncomfortable or seemingly overly sensitive baby try focusing on a few things such as

👶Tension in your baby
👶Oral restrictions, tongue ties or positional difficulties
👱‍♀️Healing your own gut and nutrition as you breastfeed (yes, adding in the right foods)

Finding a team such as Lactation Consultant can be a great place to begin!

Please reach out if you're finding your baby is overly sensitive or something doesn't seem quite right - I can help you figure it out. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

🤨THE 1 THING that is holding Women back!!!😔

We wait too long.

Too long to get that ni**le of concern looked at.
Too long to keep breastfeeding in utter pain.
Too long, barely functioning with little sleep.
Too long, to get a check that might be more important that they realise.
Too long, to ask for help. 🤳🏻

Mumma, please don't wait - see an IBCLC, Midwife, Sleep Consultant, HypnoBirth Educator like myself and let's DO THIS. 💪

Catch the issue and or concerns early and steer and carve a pathway for your family life that is abundantly meaningful, incredible and custom tailored exactly right for you and yours. 💞

👶🏽 WHAT do REFLUX babies look like???👇🏻

🚩 Often labelled as fussy babies, they are uncomfortable after all

🚩 They're finding breastfeeding/feeding difficult - they can have gas and pain during and after feeds and find it harder to digest milk

🚩 Baby’s belly is distended or they look like they've got a pot belly

🚩 Spewing milk, which can cause some babies to lose weight and even feed more often but at shorter lengths of time

🚩 Spluttering, coughing and even gagging during feeds

🚩 They hate lying on their back, or having tight seatbelts and straps pressing their tummy as it's uncomfortable and makes digestion and gas pains worse.

If you suspect your baby has reflux please send me a message to enquire, give me a 15 call to find out if a consultation is for you!

Self care is essential. It's nurturing yourself, and it looks different for everyone.
💕👶🌸
When is the last time you took a moment to rest, recover and rejuvinate? Some mum's book their consultations with me as an act of self-care, because it's about BOTH mumma and baby.

As you do take the time to invest in yourself, however it is you do it, you are filling your own cup so that it can overflow.
💕👶🌸

It's important to remember to make time to do this, you can't give from an empty cup.

Share this important reminder with someone you care about today.
