Things to know about your baby 💚

shared by the lovely https://www.facebook.com/groups/SouthernNaturalParentingNetwork/

In the womb, your baby shares your natural body clock. It takes at least 3 months for infants to develop their own circadian rhythm.

It is normal and natural then for your baby to have no discernible day/night pattern to feeding and sleeping. They lack the hormonal control to establish one. And it is not something they can be taught, no matter how much parents try and self-styled "sleep trainers" promise. What is more likely to occur is various techniques and programs are tried until one "magically" works coincidentally as the natural development stage is reached and circadian rhythm begins to function. Most babies naturally begin sleeping longer stretches at night around 3 months.

"Melatonin, cortisol, body temperature, movement, blood pressure, digestion, and consolidated sleep are all part of the circadian rhythm. The newborn infant develops the components of circadian rhythm postnatally. A rhythm of cortisol develops at 8 weeks of age, melatonin and sleep efficiency develop at approximately 9 weeks, and body temperature rhythm and that of circadian genes develop at 11 weeks"

"Oh, how there are a million things to do
And I’ll do them, I will
I’ll do those too
But right now
I’ll just be,
Here,
With you.
Oh, how I want to sleep, I do
And one day, I will
I’ll sleep right through
But right now
I’ll just be
Here,
With you.
Oh, how the days are long, it’s true
Yesterdays are many
But todays are a few
So, I’ll fill them up
With all of you
And simply be,
Here,
With you."

"Put them in water or take them outside.” It was the first useful parenting advice I ever got.
“Sleep when the baby sleeps”? I think the polite word for that gem is poppycock. But this particular axiom has saved me many times over.
I don’t remember how old my son was when I called my mom in tears because I couldn’t stop his, but his age was probably measured in weeks.
Maybe days.
“Nothing is working; I don’t know what else to try,” I sobbed. “He’s not hungry or sleepy or wet.”
“Try giving him a bath,” she suggested. “Or bundle him up and take him outside for some fresh air. I always say to take them outside or put them in water, and usually, the grumpiness goes away.”
It worked that day, and it’s worked many times since. We’ve done baths at 10 a.m. I’ve paced our driveway with a baby in my arms at 2 a.m. And today, at 5:15 p.m. when my children were fighting for the 17th time since they got home from school and I was about to lose it, instead I put one in the bath and I sent the other outside and now maybe all three of us will survive until Dad gets home.
Almost nine years later, it still works.
I can’t give you advice about sleep schedules or feedings or Montessori-approved toys. I don’t know what we’re gonna do about Tik Tok and Snapchat in a few years. But when they’re falling apart at the seams for no apparent reason, take them outside or put them in water.
Oh, and it works on grown-ups, too."

Feeling pressure about your baby's sleep?
Here's the truth: Sleep can't be forced. Every baby is different. Every family is different.
Instead of teaching techniques, we trust that YOU already have the wisdom to figure out what works for your family.
Your steady, responsive presence is what matters most. And that's more than enough.

Sleep issues are one of the most common concerns for parents. Sharon has been providing care for women and babies in the North Brisbane since 2009. In 2015 she trained in Neuroprotective Developmental Care (NDC, also known as the Possums programs). The NDC approach is an evidence-based, scientific model which supports responsive, attachment-focussed care and deals with concerns surrounding feeding, sleep and mood.

Sharon’s aim is to establish a safe place for families seeking guidance, support and empowerment through the challenging early stages of parenthood that incorporates individual needs, resources, values and goals.

Sharon provides practical, developmentally appropriate support for baby sleep, infant sleep patterns, and child sleep challenges. By helping parents understand their child’s cues and sleep needs, Sharon supports families to make informed decisions that align with their values and circumstances.

Sharon’s work is grounded in a non judgemental, family centred approach, providing reassurance, clear information, and practical strategies. Whether you are seeking guidance, reassurance, or support with specific concerns, Sharon helps parents feel more confident in understanding and supporting their child’s development.
By empowering families with knowledge and support, Sharon helps build strong foundations for child health, emotional wellbeing, and long term development.
