The Sleep Mums ·

2021/09/01

We’re kicking off this new season with something that can disrupt sleep for years: teething. Teething can start any time in baby’s first few months and, usually, goes on until they are nearly 3 years! However, one of the hardest things about teething is that you often can’t tell why your baby is so sad and grumpy until the tooth finally pops out. In the first episode of our new season we tackle teething and the impact it can have on sleep. We’ll talk making it through the teething years, the best

The Sleep Mums ·

Can Babies Have Bad Habits?

The Sleep Mums ·

2021/05/19

This podcast is about something that is a little controversial, particularly when it comes to sleep: we’re going to talk habits in babies. There is a lot of pressure from society and those around us to do ‘parenting right’ and this idea of creating or continuing bad habits in our babies and children can make you feel like you’re doing something wrong. So in this episode we get to the bottom of bad habits; do they exist; what are they and can you change a habit of a little one’s lifetime? Plus

Our next guest on The Sleep Mums A to Azz is Sam Avery, dad joke provocateur, award-winning blogger and author of parenting guide The Learner Parent. In this brand new episode we chat about why laughter is so important, what it means to be a Learner Parent - we’re all just learning this gig – and… poo. We’ve had lots of amazing guests on the show but chatting with Sam, Sarah and I were literally, rolling on the floor. But, as we talk about, that doesn’t mean laughter is a joke: in fact, as a parent,

We want to talk about feeding, the different ways of feeding and how that can impact sleep. As we always say, we’re all different. Our babies are different and our families are all different; that should always be celebrated, which is why The Sleep Mums is zero judgement.

A to Zzz: A for Allergies

The Sleep Mums ·

2021/04/28

Being a parent is hard enough, then you put allergies or suspected allergies in the mix. It can be scary, disorientating and exhausting with a poorly or unhappy baby. Allergies are also becoming more and more common in babies and young children, which is why it felt really important for us to talk to an expert about it. It can be a long road for parents to find out what the problem is - from reflux and digestive issues to intolerances and allergies - in this brand new episode of The Sleep Mums A to

The Witching Hour (s)

The Sleep Mums ·

2021/04/21

There isn’t a magic spell that can help your baby sleep but whilst there might not be magic, there is witchcraft – the so called witching hours, when your lovely baby can suddenly become more than a little bit spirited. This time of day (usually between 5pm and 11pm) babies can be tired but awake, fractious but needing near constant attention. It can be really hard to know how to deal with this unmagical witching hour (or two), in this Sleep Mums episode we’ll look at a few ways to help you and

A to Zzz: D for Development

The Sleep Mums ·

2021/04/14

After your baby is born their mind grows almost as much as your laundry pile. The first year of their life can feel a blur of counting weeks not months, healthcare visits and developmental milestones. But those milestones can feel pretty scary for parents. What are they? Do they really matter? And, what should I do if my baby isn’t meeting them? In this episode, paediatric neurologist Dr Niamh Lynch talks us through all that, and much more (in her gorgeous Irish tones!). D is for development and

Early Waking

The Sleep Mums ·

2021/04/07

When you become a parent, you look back on before children lie ins with a mixture of admiration and horror. I mean, how was it even possible to sleep until 11am? That’s lunchtime! These days even 6.30am can feel like a bit of a luxury. However, you don’t have to just accept that early waking is what you do now. In this episode we’ll show you some of the ways and little tweaks you can use that can help you to gradually increase babies wake up time; to one that (hopefully) doesn’t hurt quite so

Dummy Detox

Dummy, Soother, Pacifier; whatever name you choose these little suckers can be both a big help when it comes to baby sleep and a struggle. Millions are sold each year – they are not a bad thing by any means - and there are loads of reasons why they are a brilliant addition to the parenting toolbox. However, there are also several reasons why you might be thinking about getting rid of one, from having to be up multiple times a night replacing it to hoping that your child won’t go to school with one

2021/03/17

There are lots of books, references and social media accounts for mums but not nearly so many for Dads and, even then, they can be a bit mum-sided. It often leaves Dads feeling like they shouldn’t be the one to ask the questions, either because it’s not their’ job’ or because, like lots of parenthood stuff, they feel like they should know it all naturally. But we're not born parents, we learn how to be them. So, this week, expectant Dad, Ed turned the table on us and asked us five questions; from

But what are these things that have a whopping 200 million hits on Google, are they real? In this episode, we’ll talk you through what leaps and regressions are and share some tips to help you and your baby through the major milestones of their early years.
