Anxiety – most of us have felt it. It can make us feel powerless, like no matter what we do nothing feels like it’s progressing. ⁠
⁠
However, we cannot be defined by our anxiety or its thoughts – we need to learn to ignore them and know they will pass. Everybody’s way of dealing with anxiety is unique and there is no right or wrong solution. ⁠

Sometimes when I am feeling anxious I (…….) what do you do when you’re feeling anxious? What thoughts or actions have worked for you? ⁠

Saying goodbye to swaddling.⁠ ⁠ Nothing remind

Saying goodbye to swaddling.⁠
⁠
Nothing reminds us that our little babe is growing up and no longer a newborn more than the process of transitioning away from swaddling. ⁠
⁠
To some it feels like it came about suddenly and may leave you thinking ‘Ahhh I’m not ready for this!’. ⁠
⁠
As a mum of three daughters, I can testify that unswaddling will join the long list of ‘I’m not ready for my baby to be this grown up’ moments as our little ones seemingly grow and change what can sometimes feel like overnight. ⁠
⁠
It’s also one of the first steps our little one takes to really learn the gentle art of self-soothing without the cocoon-like comfort they’ve known so far as we extend their transition from womb life to room and come to an end of the fourth trimester.⁠
⁠
I’ve written a blog for anyone unsure about how to approach the unswaddling transition which includes two winning methods you can use to successfully unswaddle your little one and allow them to experience arms free sleep for the first time.⁠

Happy first birthday little one! Hooray you surv

Happy first birthday little one!

Hooray you survived the first year of parenting, but to celebrate we will give you another sleep regression! Cheers for that!

This can occur anywhere between 11-13 months and can last 2-4 weeks.

There is more physical development, pulling to stand, couch surfacing even first steps.

There is cognitive development, babbling their first words and advancing with fine motor skills.

It's a lot when you stop and think about it.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
So how can you handle the 12-month sleep regression?⁠⁠
⁠⁠
💤 Awake time/Naps - Don't drop the second nap! It is VERY common to experience nap refusal around 12 months of age. It is very UNCOMMON to be truly ready to transition to a single nap until closer to 15/18 months.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
💤 Sleep Environment - Keep the sleeping bag. I encourage you to continue using a sleeping bag right through to 2.5-3.5 years of age. My personal preference is the "bag" style of sleeping bag as this will discourage extra movement such as cruising the cot or more importantly, discourage climbing out of the cot!⁠⁠
⁠⁠
💤 Early Bedtime - I am definitely a fan of an early bedtime when things haven't gone to plan. Did you know that this could be as early as 6:00pm? Rule of thumb is half the day sleep lost. So, if your little one has lost 1 hours day sleep, then you could put them to bed around 30 minutes earlier than usual. We can't afford to replace minute for minute at this age or we will cause a sleep phase shift from 7-7 to 6-6 over a period of time.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
💤 Consistency and Patience - This is important through any stage of development. It provides our little one with predictability of what to expect. This gives them security in our approach. Our babies emulate our feelings so if we panic and show them, we are not ok, they will mirror this.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
💤 Wine and chocolate - If you can't beat them and the going gets a little tough, know it is normal and just a short stage of life. This too shall pass. Stock up on wine and more importantly chocolate and know it will be over in 2-4 weeks with the right action plan.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Be sure to save them for when you need guidance or tag a mumma who would love to know⁠.
