Tips for early rising in toddlers and young children. Early rising in older babies, toddlers and children is a very common sleep issue that parents have to deal with in their little ones. Lots of clients have reported 4-5am wakings being a daily issue that signals...The Importance of Sleep

I love #bedtimestories , it’s one of my favourite times of the day to spend with Davey. It’s also such a great way to wind down at bedtime whilst having a snuggle 💕
This is one of his favourites that we read today and one of mine too, it has such a lovely message. What’s your little one’s favourite bedtime story?

What do you do in the heatwave? Avoid crowded places and queues, where you get even more irritated. Eat fresh food. Find an amazing place with shade and paddling pools just for Babies and Toddlers.
Buy a Summer Pass for £20 to come as many times as you want between today (my 47th Birthday eek) and end of August, so 5 weeks of fun in our cool playbarn for Under 5’s. This excludes classes. Buy them at Barn or we can send them to you for £1 extra.
Pop a water bottle in the fridge for a few hours and put it in their bed before they get in.
Put on your AC and their hats and sun cream and drive to The Nurture Barn where it is lovely and cool with breezes from the garden windows.
Paddle in our safe, shallow paddling pools.
Eat outside under our gazebos.
Have an ice cream after a lovely lunch.

Lovely meeting Keeley this morning at my sleep clinic at The Nurture Barn at The Blue Egg, Great Bardfield. I gave her some tips on how to get through the early rising with some self settling strategies and nap advice.
I’m at the Nurture Barn every month and will also be there for Barnfest on 31st August ☀️

A sunrise is undoubtedly beautiful. But at this time of year it’s not much fun if your little one is waking earlier and earlier. I have had so many enquiries about early rising in the last month so it’s clearly taking its toll. There’s three main reasons your little one may be waking earlier.
⭐️Light - this is the obvious one at this time of year. Some are more sensitive to light than others but it’s always worth ruling out - make sure that room is as dark as can be!
⭐️ Noise - coupled with chinks of light, your little one may be more sensitive to noises especially the birds that just love to sing at 4am. If their song is causing sleep deprivation, consider white noise as a temporary measure to block out external noises, and if you have it already, make sure it’s loud enough.
⭐️ Overtiredness - whether it’s caused by a late bedtime or tricky naps during the day, overtiredness causes the levels of cortisol to be elevated at bedtime...which then spill over to ‘awake’ mode too early in the morning. Check your little ones schedule and routine to make sure they’re getting the right amount of sleep.
