✨Motherland✨

What a beautiful day revelling in our incredible CQ’s rural community ❤️

Those mothers holding the fort at home, working the land and achieving feats that are unimaginable- all while holding their children close.

Thank you for bringing this event to Rocky. The women of our town and surrounds continue to surprise me and give me hope for the young people they are raising who will surround my own as they grow up here.

I loved meeting our very own and finally being able to connect over our shared passions of feeding, sleep and maternal and family health.

Feeding and sleep are intricately linked, and I will always guide you to towards support if this is playing into your sleep problems, particularly during those precarious newborn weeks.

To know a caring professional and loving mummy will be there for clients both current and prospective is so reassuring!

Motherland brings us altogether, whether in person or by distance ❤️

I love this community so much!

Always thinking of ways you can have the best days possible with those tiny babies and children…

I feel my baby days are beginning to feel distant and just out of reach, like the setting sun on a winter afternoon.

Take this recommendation on board and let me know how you go ❤️

Early riser?

If your baby or child wakes closer to 6am than 7am, their naps may need to begin earlier too.

✨ 2 naps: 9am + 12pm
✨ 1 nap: 12/12:15pm

Trying to stretch naps later isn’t always the answer. In fact, for many early risers, it can backfire and lead to overtiredness.

Work with their body clock.

If you are struggling, get in touch.

If you are sleepless you will not be making the most of the most precious days we will ever have.

Sleep training isn’t about leaving a baby or child to cry or forcing independence.

From a sleep science perspective, it’s about teaching a skill (much like when it’s age appropriate, supporting your child to learn to swim and eat).

We are helping our child learn how to fall asleep and return to sleep between sleep cycles with support. Your child will grow and thrive when they sleep well. The entire family will.

The approach can involve holding them close, voice reassurance, presence, check-ins with timed intervals, or hands-on settling.

The goal isn’t perfection (what truly is perfect in this season?)
It is helping your child get the sleep they need while feeling safe, supported, and secure. We buffer their emotions as they learn to sleep in a safe and familiar environment.

And it’s not just about settling… in fact, equally as important is how we simply optimise the sleep environment and time their day so that they are set up for their best possible sleep overnight.
Sleep is biological.
Evidence supports sleep training comprehensively and correctly.

So, what do you not believe in?

The Classic Roche Evening Routine

After they are asleep it’s Mummy and Daddy time… aka TV and choc.

Bath and pre bed time is the hardest after a long day.

Bedtime though?

Rest is a basic human need — not something parents should feel guilty for wanting.

It is the cornerstone of health.

Just call him ‘Baitcaster boy’

Can you tell he comes from a long lineage of fishos??

This big boy went to bed at 6:15pm last night… and woke at 6am. His usual wake time but way earlier than his usual bedtime (around 7:15pm/7:30pm as he is almost 6)

But this was because he was sleep deprived after a big weekend. You can tell from your child’s behaviour and ability to tolerate different environments and circumstances- especially if they are well slept usually and routine gives them an easy direction to their day!

Our big boys and girl really still are little, and sometimes they just need that early bed time to reset and recharge 🍃😴🎣

Bedtime is more than just getting your child to sleep 🌙
When bedtime is aligned with your child’s last wake window, we can better support their natural melatonin release and overall sleep quality overnight ✨

An appropriately-timed bedtime often helps children settle more calmly, access deeper restorative sleep in the first half of the night, and can reduce those frustrating wakes before midnight 🤍

These wake windows are always a guide — every child is different and sleep needs can vary slightly day to day.
The biggest fear is a too-early bedtime causing early rising…. This is rarely the case and in fact the opposite is true!

1.5hrs seems crazy, but when a babe is little and on 3 naps (usually before 7 months) this is the gold standard ✨
Save this for later if bedtime has been feeling tricky lately 😴

As my newborn sleep guide nears completion, I’ve been reflecting on the things I wish someone told me as a first-time mum about sleep 🤍

Not just in the newborn stage… but how those early months shape everything that comes after.

That first year was nightmarish, I must admit!
As much as I loved my big beautiful boy, I really think sleep was the missing puzzle piece and once that fell into place at 12mths with the help of a sleep consultation there was a positive cascade that followed- life just seemed to improve.

What I wish knew-

1. Sometimes the hardest part isn’t your baby not sleeping — it’s that YOU can’t sleep.
Sleep deprivation can make you anxious, emotional, wired and unlike yourself… even when your baby finally does sleep. And if you suspect you may be struggling mentally, please reach out to your GP or healthcare provider for support 🤍

2. Overtired babies often look wide awake.
I used to think “they’re not tired yet” when really their little bodies were running on stress hormones.

3. Sleep support doesn’t have to mean crying it out.
There are so many gentle, responsive ways to shape sleep while still supporting your child emotionally.

4. A 6–7pm bedtime eventually becomes magic.
Not because you don’t love your kids — but because evenings become a chance to reconnect with yourself, your relationship and your nervous system.

5. You don’t need to “just survive.”
Motherhood was never meant to feel like endless exhaustion. It’s okay to want support. It’s okay to want sleep.

If this resonates with you, my newborn sleep guide was created to help you feel more confident, calm and supported from the very beginning 🤍 I can’t wait to release it!

Fast as a Sleeping Mother!
My fastest ever 10k 🥰
45:52min!

My health is the best it’s been because sleep is a priority! It’s not always easy to maintain healthy boundaries and not every nap or night is perfect, but it’s so worth it!

For the entire family ❤️

Always with my big sis, and her kids (our cuzzies)… all of the kids looking crazy and dog tired for their photo of course 🤣🫠

Toddler nap strikes can feel like absolute chaos… but consistency is everything.

Don’t just fling them the TV remote just yet- I want you to squeeze out beautiful peace of every last minute of nap time for as long as possible! 😘😎

The key? Boundaries, routine, and staying calm through the protests.

I say to myself when this occasionally happens in my household “nup, you’re the boss, see this through. This is important!” Or “how the f am I gonna get my nap unless this little m**o is asleep?”

Sleep doesn’t disappear overnight — and neither will your toddler’s need for rest.

A well-rested toddler = better moods, smoother days, and easier bedtimes.

Save this post for your next nap strike and send it to a toddler mum who’s in the trenches. ✨
