  • Emily’s Heartbreaking Story & Essential Safe Sleep Practices

    Emily’s Heartbreaking Story & Essential Safe Sleep Practices
    2024/01/10
    ***TRIGGER WARNING: Sudden Infant Death Syndrome*** In those early sleep-deprived days it can be so hard to keep your eyes open, and for so many of us, those middle-of-the-night feeds are one of the hardest times.  You hear about the dangers of sleep sharing all the time, but how often are you warned against surface sharing? Or falling asleep on the armchair after a feed? On today’s episode, I chatted with Emily, an incredibly brave and strong mother who has made it her goal to spread as much awareness around sleeping with bub as possible. In June of 2023, Emily and Brian lost their precious baby, Ellie, to surface sharing when her partner fell asleep on an armchair after a feed. Emily and Brian were amazing parents to Ellie and I am so grateful for Emily coming on and sharing her story. You’ll hear: ✨ How to safely navigate those middle-of-the-night feeds  ✨ The importance of doing your research before buying any products for your baby to sleep in  ✨ Kristy shares her own surface sharing experience that changed the way she feeds her little ones … and more. If you want to hear more about what Emily is doing to spread awareness, you can find her @elliesvoice_safesleep on Instagram and TikTok. Please take a minute to read Sharing a Sleep Surface With a Baby, as well as What is a Safe Sleeping Environment.

    Ever find sleep training so daunting that starting feels impossible? And what even is a realistic goal for your bub? We know just how demotivating it can be when you’re sleep training your little one and it feels like one step forward, and two steps back.  When it comes to sleep training, it is rarely an easygoing process (oh how we wish it could be!).

We cover the best time of day to teach your little one to self-settle and the power of being consistent when it comes to creating new routines for you and Bub. You’ll hear: ✨ Easy steps to train your little one to sleep in a new environment ✨ How you can use age-appropriate nap routines to work towards your goals (and get that Mumma time back!) ✨ How your daytime feeds could be affecting your baby’s nighttime sleep … and a whole lot more!
