⭐️ The past two nights we have taken a HUGE step in our little guy’s sleep. He has managed to fall asleep independently both nights within 15 minutes!

We have taken the most gentle of approaches to sleep coaching. Our approach has been very responsive as we continue to develop a secure attachment and take into account his temperament. There has been no tears but more importantly, no rocking to sleep! As he gets bigger my back has been paying the price of this sleep association!

The approach we are taking can take a lot of time, patience and perseverance but it’s what we felt comfortable with as a family. Each family and baby is different and different approaches suit different people.

In the first 5 months of his life, we put in huge amounts of efforts to getting good sleep foundations in the early months.

We still have many wake ups during the night due to reflux and stomach issues. It’s always important when sleep coaching to consider any medical issues which may be impacting upon your little one and seek medical advice where necessary.

🤔 Responsive and gentle sleep coaching? Say whaaat?

‼️ When people hear the term sleep training or sleep coaching they often think it means cry it out. This is not the only way to get little ones sleeping better!

❤️ Sleep coaching can be responsive and gentle.

🚫 Leaving babies with big emotions that they don’t know how to control or regulate is never a sleep training technique I would advise! It increases cortisol levels which is a stress hormone. Cry it out is a huge NO from me.

⏰ The average time it takes someone, including babies, to fall asleep is around 15 minutes. This is called sleep latency or sleep onset latency.

💡This can be a good piece of knowledge to help figure out if there’s an issue with your little one’s sleep.

💤 If they are crashing into sleep within 5 minutes, they are most likely over-tired. Although crashing into a deep sleep might seem like it’s a good thing, it will lead to a restless night and more night wakings. Crashing into a deep sleep means they’ve missed the vital lighter sleep at the start of the sleep cycle. As they come out of the sleep cycle and go into the next sleep cycle, this part will feel unfamiliar to them as they skipped this lighter sleep stage when falling asleep and they’ll struggle to stay sleeping.

⏱️If they are taking much longer to fall asleep then you know your little one does not have enough sleep pressure yet to fall asleep. This could be an issue with naps or the timing of bedtime.

What are you asking Santa for this year?

Sleep associations are the things that your baby has made a connection with to help them fall asleep. These are usually things which are done habitually to help them to fall asleep such as rocking or shushing.

Sleep associations which work for you and your family are perfectly fine. Sometimes though, these sleep associations become problematic or are unsustainable. For example, you may be returning to work and can no longer feed to sleep or you are straining your back rocking them to sleep. Often a child will require the same sleep association to fall back to sleep if they wake in the middle of the night therefore you may want to move away from holding them to sleep. There are a variety of reasons you might want to change sleep associations.

Working towards sleep associations which allow for independent settling is the goal and hopefully your little one can settle themselves back to sleep when they wake during the night.

Changing sleep associations can take time so requires some patience, practise and perseverance.
