Beautiful mum Lori and little boy Emerson share their journey to better sleep! It was an absolute pleasure helping this gorgeous family! ...... 💙💤😴🥰

"If you've taken the time to research a good Sleep Consultant firstly well-done, it literally is such a wise decision, one that I believe every parent ought to do, if means are possible. You obviously want the very best for your bub, and whilst I don't have anyone else to compare Regan to (as a first time mum) I felt every choice I made was respected and considered. After reading this please do not hesitate to contact Regan, she is literally the reason I started to enjoy motherhood so much! At 5 months my son hit the 4 month regression hard. He was a breastfed baby and pretty much snacking on demand. He was not used to big feeds and hence was unable to sleep more than 30 minutes in the day and 2 hours at night. He did achieve 5/6 hour sleep blocks from the age of about 4 months, but the regression got him good and our entire house was shaken up for weeks by the endless night wakes. From the beginning, after Regan's thorough assessment, she identified a number of goals for my son and I can confidently say after about 2 weeks he was nailing everything we'd hoped for! Now at 7 months old he sleeps for every single nap TO A TEE and sleeps 6.30pm-7am-ish every night. Regan was always available to answer my questions and I felt a complete trust as her love for little babies and supporting parents really showed 💕 I have a lot of love for Regan and know 100% you will too!!"

Makes perfect sense!

When discussing emotional regulation with kids, educators and therapists will often talk about how the aim is to be “calm” or get back to the “green zone”. This is an optimal state in many situations, however it’s important to remember that all feelings are okay, and that there are times when “calm” isn’t useful or appropriate.⠀
⠀
For example, calm is not useful, appropriate or expected of kids if⠀
• They’re about to run a race⠀
• It’s their birthday⠀
• Their pet has just died⠀
• There’s a fire⠀
• They’re going to their favourite place⠀
• They had a fight with a friend⠀
• They failed an exam⠀
⠀
Regulated does not always mean calm. It means being able to manage your energy and emotions so that your alertness level and behaviour match the situation. This could mean showing feelings of sadness, fear, happiness, excitement, anxiety, disappointment, or anything in between, depending on the energy demands of the situation. And as adults, meeting kids wherever they’re at, without trying “fix” or rush them through the emotions they need to process and feel.
⠀
There is also a level of subjectivity to this, and this is where empathy comes in, e.g. what is upsetting for one child may not be upsetting for another; what is exciting for one child may not be exciting for another.
⠀
No matter the situation, all feelings are okay (but not all behaviours are).⠀
⠀
It’s important to remember that kids under the age of 7 will naturally experience many more situations in which they’re not calm, due to the underdeveloped nature of their brain, developmentally limited regulation skills and the fact that they’re still in the egocentric stage of development, where everything is all about them.

Also important - emotional regulation is not something that is taught first and foremost, it is something that is experienced through others.

Words of gratitude from a recent client 🥰
Such a wonderful feeling to give the gift of sleep 😴💤 to tired families 👨‍👩‍👦

"The best thing I have ever done is hire Regan to help with my son's sleep. It’s life changing when you can help your baby build good sleep habits. I spent almost two months trying everything I could to get my son to sleep in his cot again after his 4 month sleep regression. I needed some support to show me how to do it and after a home visit my son slept in his bed that same night and weaned off a dummy all at the same time. It’s not always easy but Regan’s daily support helped me through the tough times and now my son falls asleep so peacefully and is such a happy baby! Thank you so much Regan!!" ~Jaime

Anyone for mushy peas? 🤣
Love this little guy's reaction to trying pureed peas.
Safe to say he's not a fan!
