• Episode 87: Parental Presence at Bedtime

  You might have worked really hard to build your child’s confidence falling asleep in their cot or bed at bedtime. But what happens if you still find yourself sitting in their room near their cot or bed, until they fall asleep? Some parents don’t mind this, but others find it difficult, especially if they have other children to get to bed, and for some, their children continue to wake overnight, wondering why their parent isn’t still sitting beside their bed, and insisting that they return. Cue parental exhaustion! If you want to reduce your presence at bedtime, using gentle methods, this episode is for you. Join Dr Fallon and Dr Laura (PhD’s & Sleep Practitioners) to learn how to gently reduce your presence at bedtime with your child. ☕️ Love our work?

• Episode 86: Self-soothing behaviours

  The term ‘self-soothing’ gets thrown around a lot on the internet, but what does it actually mean? In its simplest form, self-soothing refers to the behaviours humans use to calm themselves when feeling upset. For an adult this might mean meditation, deep breathing, or debriefing with a friend, and for a baby this could mean sucking their thumb or fingers, stroking their ears or nose, or rocking their head back and forth. There are a huge number of ways humans can self-soothe. You might have heard that it’s impossible for a child under the age of 3 years to self-soothe, but this isn’t quite true – even tiny newborns can show some self-soothing behaviours, like sucking their hands – however, it’s their capacity to self-soothe that is also tiny and takes time to develop – so we can’t expect too much, too soon. In episode 86 of Brand New Little People, Dr Fallon & Dr Laura (PhDs) dive deep in to self-soothing, to dispel some myths and help you to recognise your little one’s attempts to self-soothe. ☕️ Love our work?
