How is it a quarter of a century since you came into this world
It wasn’t a smooth entry by a long way and it’s all a bit of blur and so long ago but you were a little ray of sunshine from day one and nothing has really changed!

You’ve already achieved so many things that other people can only dream of but also faced several truly horrible times in your young life so far as well but whatever life throws your way, highs or lows, you continue to be the gentle, calm, funny and kind person that people want to be around because you make them feel good just by being you!

I’ve learnt so much from you in the last 25 years, and will always be right here when you need me, through the bumps, the ups and the downs because we are a team and I know how important that is to you (and to me).

Saying I’m proud of you feels wholly inadequate to be honest because it’s so much more than that but I don’t know how to put it into words!

Are you perfect -absolutely not!! (VERY annoying at times 🤣) but you are a wonderful human being.

Love you

Mum 💜

This is something I hear often from parents I’m working with on both sleep and reflux…..

You put off or dread going to bed because you are already anticipating or fearing the next wake up 😩

It’s a horrible place to be in but it’s so important that you do try and rest when you can, this might mean going to bed at a ridiculously early time in the short term so that you get some sleep if your baby’s most settled period is early in the evening for example.

I know it isn’t always simple and often when we try to force sleep, we then become anxious and can’t get off to sleep! You could try these little changes to see if they help you to nod off while you have the chance for a bit of uninterrupted sleep if you are struggling even though you are soooooo tired….

✔️ Remove all technology from your sleep space (can make a big difference)
✔️ Try some simple breathing exercises such as box breathing or a relaxation guide to help you switch off
✔️ Consider using a homeopathic pillow spray or oil which aids relaxation/sleep - it can really help!

If things are unsustainable for you and your family and the anxiety of going to bed is causing you real issues then I’m here to support you too. There are options to suit everyone from bite sized affordable options to fully comprehensive packages to help you, get in touch if you would like my expert support to address your little ones sleep or reflux issues so that you can all get the rest you need ❤️

Milk thickeners are designed to manage excessive and recurrent vomiting in babies (aka one of the main symptoms of reflux!)

So they are something I come across a lot in my work and almost every formula milk brand has their own version of thickened milk as well as thickening powers you can add to your baby’s formula.

They sound great don’t they? Add them to baby’s milk, it thickens it sufficiently to stop them from vomiting it back up AND for short term relief in some babies they can be useful (especially if you only use a very small amount - way less than the guidelines usually).

BUT……

These thickeners contain all kinds of ingredients which may cause a whole host of other digestive discomfort symptoms for your baby as they cause the milk to carry on thickening as it travels through your baby’s digestive system and slow down the speed at which the milk travels through, thus can very often then lead to trapped wind, bloating, painful wind, irritation, constipation… the list goes on)

AND

It doesn’t address the underlying cause of your baby’s reflux symptoms, it’s just masking the problem - if your baby has been prescribed a milk thickener, there will be a reason they need this and that is what I want to help you to uncover and resolve ❤️
