Spring and lighter nights are coming 🌻

The clocks are due to go forward 1 hour at 1 am on Sunday 29th March (BST).

If you want to keep your child on their normal sleep schedule you have a few options:

For babies 12 months and under: A subtle way to get them adjusted to the change is to start from this coming Wed (25th) and move bedtime 15 minutes earlier each night, so if their normal bedtime is 7 pm, have them go to bed at 6.45 pm on Wed night, 6.30 pm Thurs, 6.15 pm Fri and by Saturday they will be going to bed an hour earlier and will be back on track for their normal 7 pm bedtime by Sunday.

Please be mindful you may need to adjust nap timings by 15 mins also to keep everything on track.

For the toddlers: If your child is down to 1 nap a day or no naps they may be less sensitive to their bedtime being altered and so to help them manage the transition move bedtime 30 minutes earlier on Saturday 28th and then they are only having to stay up an extra half hour to go to bed at their "normal time" on Sunday.

For the older children 3+: Bring bedtime earlier by an hour on Saturday night so that if your child normally wakes at the same time each day they will not be missing out on an hour of sleep.

Alternatively you can do nothing and keep to your normal routine but be mindful that your child may be more tired than usual on Sunday as they will have had an hour less sleep.

Delighted to have been asked to contribute to this article about sleep training methods and having the opportunity to highlight that there is no one size fits all approach when it comes to infant sleep.

I am flattered to have been referred to as an "expert" but in truth there is always going to be more to learn when it comes to sleep and parenting in general is definitely a learn on the job kind of role.

Ensuring parents feel informed and supported rather than pressured or judged is always going to be my aim when it comes to improving sleep.

If you currently feel overwhelmed with all the do's and don'ts surrounding infant sleep get in touch for support figuring out what applies to you and your little one

Moving from co-sleeping to cot sleep when the time is right can feel like a huge mountain to climb but with the right support and taking small manageable steps you can be on the other side of that mountain in just a few weeks.

If you would like to chat about how I can support you to make the transition there's a link to book in for a free 15 min call in my bio.

There's endless advice online about getting babies to sleep but trying to figure out what applies to your baby can be overwhelming, particularly when you are exhausted and you can barely remember what day it is!

You don't have to figure it out alone!

With so much sleep advice out there, it can be really overwhelming trying to figure out which parts apply to your baby and their own wee individual personality.

That's where I come in... I take away the guess work for you. You tell me what you're struggling with and let me do the problem solving!

Comment "help" or send me a DM to book in for a consultation.

Ok so marketing budget alone may not be the only difference but it's good to have some clarity in what can be a noisy space. Some formula's will have variations in their ingredients, one might use cow's milk while another uses organic goat's milk but on the whole unless it is a prescribed formula such as for CMPA there will be very little difference between the fancy (and pricey) version and supermarket own brands.

In the UK, all first infant formulas are strictly regulated and must meet the same nutritional standards. There is no scientific evidence that more expensive varieties, gut friendly versions or follow on milks are any better than Aldi/Lidl's.

For most babies, a standard first infant formula is absolutely appropriate. What matters more is finding a brand your baby tolerates well.

Slings and carriers are a great way to enjoy a contact nap without being nap trapped but it is really important that you know how to wear them correctly!
