Sleeping Gems

I don’t know about you, but I find, there is so much pressure on us to be perfect, or have it all together.
We all feel it, but we’re all just here doing our best and that’s all that matters!
💕💕💕

A little reminder that we're all doing our best! 💕

We've got this... 💪

Another wonderful review 🩷
It is so lovely to read such kind words from my clients, and I know that parents who come to my page find them reassuring to read that they too can get help for their baby/child’s sleep & that a good nights sleep isn’t too far away! ⭐️🌙

Does this sound familiar? If you are having long, drawn out and tricky bedtimes - please pop me a message 🩷

Some great advice from the The Lullaby Trust here as always 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Asking for help is not a weakness! 💪

I'm here to help, provide support, offer advice and guide you through the sleep training process...

📣 FREE PRIZE DRAW 📣

It’s been a little while & i have been very quiet on all of my social media pages and to get back in touch I’ve decided to throw a little giveaway!

Since the clocks have changed it’s much lighter in the mornings & so can interfere with our children’s circadian rhythm & start off early wakes.
The Gro Anywhere blackout is great, fits to most windows and come in a travel bag which is ideal when you’re away from home & wanting your child’s sleep environment to be similar to home.

In order to be in the free prize draw you will need to:
🩷 Like Sleeping Gems Facebook and instagram pages
🩷 Share this post tagging a friend/parent/expecting parent

I will announce the winner live here on the 1st of December - share away and good luck!

🥰 A beautiful review from Beth, a lovely mum who I’ve really enjoyed working with.

FEEDBACK FRIDAY 💕⁠
⁠
It's my favourite day of the week... The start of the weekend AND I get to share lovely things people have said as feedback after their sleep training has finished with their little ones!⁠
⁠

If you've been here a while, you have probably seen this tip before... 💡⁠
⁠
For this time of year, it's one of the most important and can often solve the problem of an early riser. ⁠

Please drop me a message if you would like a recommendation for blackout blinds. 🌜⁠

Sleep pods and such like……when I work with a family we always say farewell to a sleep pod if they already use them.
Here’s some great information from The Lullaby Trust as always. Safe sleep 🤍🤍

Pods or nests are a softer type of sleep surface sometimes used instead of or in addition to a mattress, with areas that are raised or cushioned.

When sleeping, babies shouldn’t lie on or have anything soft around them, particularly their heads, as this can cause them to overheat and increases the risk of SIDS. Soft, squishy materials can also cover baby’s mouth and nose if they are pressed against it.

It is also important to remember that while there is a British Standard for cot mattresses, there is no standard for pods or nests as a sleeping place for babies.

This advice applies to all day and night sleeps/naps.

Some beautiful blooms from a family who I’ve just finished working with 🤍 Such a lovely surprise! This family have been great to work alongside - I do love my job!

Did you know that we are also on Instagram?!

🎉🎉1k giveaway time 🎉🎉

To celebrate reaching 1000 followers on Facebook this week, I thought a well overdue giveaway would be a good way to mark the occasion!

I am truly grateful for everyone who has supported me, and for all the wonderful parents I’ve worked with with, for shouting about my little business and in the process, helping lots of other families find me and get the help they need!

Up for grabs is the brilliant portable Gro Anywhere blackout blind. I have always used these with my own son, it comes in especially handy when travelling or when staying with family or friends over the years and I recommend them to all new parents who I work with!

➡️To have a chance at winning this - you will need to ‘Like’ the page, share this post and comment on it once you’ve done so ⬅️

⭐️ We will be picking out and announcing the winner Friday 26th of November ⭐️
GOOD LUCK!!

Your littles ones might wake up several times throughout the night but get through the day just fine…

However, as parents we can be completely drained from all these wake ups.

Sleep training can benefit your whole family! 😴

Pop me a message if you would like some info about the process.

Do you read a bedtime story to your little ones every night? 📚

A story can be part of your bedtime routine and can be a cue to your child’s body and brain that it’s time for sleeping.
