Gently Encourage your Baby to Self Settle

Practical & effective tools to gently encourage more sleep for your family.

Separation Anxiety in Babies & Toddlers

The development of separation anxiety demonstrates that your baby has formed a healthy, loving attachment to you. It is a beautiful sign that your baby associates pleasure, comfort, and security with your presence. He doesn’t know enough about the world yet to understand that when you leave him you’ll always come back.

Newborn Essentials Checklist

Preparing for your new arrival is often a daunting task. There are so many baby products on the market. We asked hundreds of The Sleep Store customers to tell us what products they couldn’t live without and what they bought, but never actually ended up using.The consensus was to stick to quality essentials, you can't go wrong. So here is our list of what you really do need for your new baby.

How to Write Your Birth Plan

Like many of life's big events planning by making a birth plan can help you understand what's to come and be better prepared to make decisions when the moment arrives. It will also help your doctor and midwife to be conscious of your wishes and help to take some of the stress out of how you'd like the delivery to be.

Feeding

Starting Solids... When is the right time?

It can be hard to know when to start solids for your baby. It's important that your baby is developmentally and physiologically ready to eat solids, which is generally around 6-8 months.

Baby Food Ideas

Thoughts on Toddler Bedtime Battles with a New Baby too

Toddlers can drive parents crazy at bedtime. The slow, steady kind of crazy when you know every night is the same battle. A battle to get dressed, a battle to get into bed, a battle to lie down…..and then the never-ending battle to actually STAY IN BED and go to sleep. And when this is combined with the exhaustion of having a newborn in the house…….it can feel like a very slippery slide.

Successful Toilet Training

Right up there with sleeping and feeding, toilet training is usually one of the biggest challenges that parents face in their children’s early years. This article includes things to keep in mind, tips and information for your toilet training journey.
