Did you know?👣

All babies are born with flat feet! They have a soft pad of fat on the bottom of their feet, making them look extra cute! 😍

The arch of the foot doesn’t develop until around 3 years old, so all toddlers are naturally flat-footed until then 👣✨ The best way to help their arches develop is to let them go barefoot as much as possible 🦶🌿

However, we do need to protect their little feet from hot pavements ☀️, cold surfaces ❄️, or public places that might have sharp objects ⚠️

So… what should you buy?

✅ Look for soft, bendy soles that you can fold in half — this allows their feet to move freely, supporting healthy development. 🌱
✅ Choose shoes with a wide, square toe box so their toes can wiggle comfortably 🩷

👟 I personally love Attipas (attipas.com.au) — and they currently have 25% off for Black Friday! 🖤 This isn’t sponsored, I just adore their shoes because they tick all the boxes! 💕

Parenting these days is so much harder than previous generations! 😮‍💨 We have an influx of information 📱💭 but no-one to tell us if it’s correct or suitable for our situation 🤷‍♀️ Society encourages isolation and persevering on our own… but guess what? 💬

💞 We are social mammals — we are not meant to be parenting on our own 🤝 It’s so important to have socialisation, conversation, connection, and relationships 🌸 We need to feel belonging — more so now that we have a baby than ever before 🍼❤️

🌴 Firstly, identify what makes you happy 🌞 Close your eyes for 10 minutes 🕊️ and imagine your favourite holiday — the smells, the sounds, what can you see? 👀 Who are you with? 🏖️ Feel the sun on your skin ☀️ Soak up those senses in your mind 🌺 Research shows this releases dopamine (the feel-good hormone!) 🧠💖 You’ll actually feel better! 🌼

☕ Now, in this positive frame of mind, organise a catch-up with someone 🫶 Have a real chat — be honest, not superficial 💬 Make it regular, something to look forward to 💕

🌷 When your cup of love is full, you’ll be able to parent and nurture your baby so much better 💗

Feel the feels 🤍

Babies start to wake up more around this age — they’re becoming more aware of their surroundings and more interactive with their environment 👶🧸✨ They’re starting to enjoy toys that respond to their touch or sound, and this is also when separation anxiety and even a little FOMO can begin 💛

💤 So what does sleep look like at this age?

Now is the time to start sleeping your baby in their own room or your bedroom with the curtains drawn 🌙 Use filtered light, not blackout — it’s important they know it’s a day sleep, not their main nighttime rest ☀️

🤱 Give your baby lots of cuddle time and connection so they feel safe and secure 💕 Let them contact nap if they seem a little dysregulated today — sometimes they just need you.

🕊️ Try to be spontaneous with your routine — trust your baby, they know what they need 🤍 Watch for their tired cues 👀💤 This is the most important thing! Forget the clock ⏰ and focus on your baby’s signals and behaviour instead 💫

Your baby was sleeping beautifully before 3 months of age – now they will only sleep 30 minutes at a time….wwhhyy??? 😩

Is there something wrong? 😟
Is my baby broken? 🤔
They could do it before, why not now? 😫
We hear that babies need to have at least two sleep cycles in a row for the sleep to be restorative. 😴
Is this cat napping virtually the same as no sleep? 💤
Is my baby becoming chronically tired? 😕
Will they ever recoup this sleep? 😬
Is it affecting their development? 🧠
Are their brains not developing correctly because they’re cat napping? 😧

STOP!!! STOP STOP!!!! 🚫🚫🚫

Cat napping is developmentally normal! 🌟
All babies will cat nap. 👶

At the age of 3 months a baby’s brain has a massive surge of new motor neuron connections and subsequent development of skills. 🧩
To enhance these skills the brain tells the baby to stir awake at the end of each sleep cycle to practice these new skills. 💪
So, the moment your baby’s sleep finishes a light stage of sleep your baby will wake up. After 30–40 mins. Every - single - nap. 🕒

This behaviour will continue until your baby is about 7–9 months and then you’ll see the beginning of longer naps of 2–3 sleep cycles. 🌙✨

The most important thing you can do to help this situation is to change how you view it – Your baby is normal! 💖
There’s nothing wrong with them AND it will pass! 🌈
All sleep is good sleep no matter how short the nap is! 😌

A couple of points you want to watch out for with your child’s speech development. 🗣️

1. You know they can hear – are they pointing out aeroplanes in the sky or birds in the trees? From about 8 months are they turning to you when you call their name? 👶👂

2. At 6-8 weeks are they starting to make vowel sounds? 🫧 Are they starting to have “conversations” with you? 💬

3. Between 7-9mths they are starting to repeat sounds like “mmummum” or “Dadada”. 👩‍👦

4. Babbling tunefully at 1 year old – like they’re speaking their own language being very expressive. 🎶🍼Starting to say “mum” and “dad”. ❤️

5. Have they started talking/making sounds and now stopped? 🤔

6. At 2 years old they should have about 50 words and they’re starting to put 2 words together, like “up Mummy”, “more drink”, “daddy gone”. 🧩🗣️

If your baby is not doing these things at these ages, or you are concerned, then I would recommend seeing a Speech Therapist. Remember the sooner we get Speech Therapy the quicker your child will learn and achieve at normal age milestones. 🌱✨

I recently delivered a Parenting Workshop all about Creating Resilience. The most asked question of the night was - what do you do when your child has a massive meltdown? 😩

Here’s some points to consider for next time: 🌟

1. Stop and take a few deep breaths – nothing needs to be fixed instantly, take your time so you turn on your own thinking brain. 🧘‍♀️
2. Get down to their level, look them in the eye and in a quiet voice validate their feelings. “This is hard for you, I understand” or “It’s ok to feel angry when you don’t get what you want” or “I see you really wanted that.” 💛
3. Then reassure, “I’m going to sit beside you until you feel calm.” 🤍
4. Offer them a hug if and whenever they want it on their terms, not forcing the hug on them. When you force a toddler to do anything it always makes matters worse. 🤗
5. Be patient, give them space, it will take as long as it will take. Do your own relaxation practice, deep breathing, tapping or meditation while you wait. Focus on calming your own nervous system – remember they will co-regulate with you, so calm the farm!! 🌿
6. Try and be spontaneous…maybe you can cancel the appointment you were trying to get to, or buy that item another day. Do something chill and calm when you get home (no screens). 🏡
7. Connection and relationship are two most important factors here! Focus on these and you’ll have fewer meltdowns because your toddler will be feeling safe, validated and loved. ❤️
8. Toddlers NEED to go through these steps to learn how to cope with these uncomfortable feelings. This is positive development. Giving them a screen in the moment to distract them works, but doesn’t teach them how to be comfortable with these big feelings and emotions, and this is what we need to be teaching them. 🌈

If you would like help with your toddler’s behaviour, I offer affordable home visits where we can go through strategies that are unique for your child. 👶✨

Did you know, babies have different cries for different messages? They even have a specific cry to tell you when they’re tired — the tired cry! 👶💤

Imagine how good you’ll feel when you can tell exactly when your baby is tired and ready for bed! 🛏️🌙

The tired cry is easily recognisable once you know what to listen for 🎧 — it sounds like yawning but with sound! The mouth is wide open, like a yawn, with an “oww owww owww” sound 😮‍💨👂

Your baby will do this type of cry when their Sleep Pressure is high and they need to sleep 💤

Remember — sleep is biological and if the environment is right and your baby feels safe , they will fall asleep naturally! 🤱🌙💤

So – ✋ STOP watching the clock 🕒
✋ STOP following awake windows ⏰
✅ DO watch your baby’s behaviour 👀 — they know when they’re tired and they’ll tell you with a tired cry! 💞

Do you find picking out the tired cry easy? 🤔

I had the pleasure of doing a Day Sleep Consult with this lovely mum who lives 4 hours east of Perth in country WA.

I first met her a few years ago when I did a home visit for her firstborn — who’s now a bright 2.5-year-old!

This time, she wanted a little refresher on healthy sleep habits for baby number two, and it was so lovely reconnecting and meeting baby Sully. 💛
