Parents 2 B

You will often hear me say…⁠
⁠
Every baby is different.⁠
Because they are.⁠
⁠
Different personalities⁠
Different temperaments⁠
Different sleep needs⁠
Different feeding needs⁠
⁠
There is no one-size-fits-all in parenting.⁠
⁠
But there is one thing that helps every baby…⁠
⁠
Consistency.⁠
⁠
Consistency helps your baby:⁠
• Feel safe⁠
• Know what to expect⁠
• Learn new skills⁠
• Build confidence⁠
• Settle easier⁠
⁠
Consistency doesn’t mean doing everything perfectly.⁠
It simply means doing the same thing, most of the time.⁠
⁠
Because when we constantly change:⁠
• The routine⁠
• The settle⁠
• The environment⁠
• The expectations⁠
⁠
…it becomes confusing for your little one.⁠
⁠
Imagine learning something new… But the rules change every day.⁠
⁠
That’s hard for anyone, especially a baby.⁠
⁠
At P2B, I create a starting point that works for your baby and your family⁠
⁠
Then we stay consistent while your baby learns.⁠
⁠
Because time + consistency = progress.⁠
⁠
Some days will feel easy.⁠
Some days will feel harder.⁠
⁠
But consistency is what helps move things forward ⁠

🎉 A little heads up... 🎉

P2B will be a little quieter over the next few days.

I'm taking a few sneaky days off to celebrate another trip around the sun. 🎂🥂 (Let's not discuss the number... 😂)

I'll be spending some quality time with my family, enjoying a slower pace, and making the most of a few days that are all about filling my own cup.

Messages and emails may take a little longer than usual, and I appreciate your patience while I take this short break.

Thank you, as always, for your ongoing support. It truly means the world to me.

See you all very soon! 🤍

There are a LOT of things I will never judge you for as a midwife… so many, in fact, that this is Part 2.

Parenthood comes with enough pressure already from social media, family, friends, strangers and often from ourselves.

My role is not to judge your choices, your home, your feeding, your routine or how you are coping on any given day.

My role is to support you, give you evidence-based information, help you work through what is happening, and find what works for you, your baby and your family.

So here are just a few of the things I will NEVER judge you for as a midwife…

Part 1 was posted a few days ago, for more flick back and have a read!

I think I could write 10 parts to this series!!

Parents don’t lack love, instinct or dedication.⁠
⁠
Some do however have a lack confidence.⁠
⁠
And that’s completely understandable.⁠
⁠
Because today’s parents are surrounded by:⁠
• Conflicting advice⁠
• Social media⁠
• Well-meaning family and friends⁠
• Online programs⁠
• “Shoulds” and “musts”⁠
⁠
It’s overwhelming.⁠
⁠
Confidence doesn’t come from reading more information.⁠
⁠
Confidence comes from support.⁠
⁠
Support to:⁠
• Ask questions⁠
• Talk things through⁠
• Adjust when things change⁠
• Celebrate the small wins⁠
• Navigate the harder days⁠
⁠
Because parenting isn’t about getting it perfect…⁠
It’s about learning, adjusting and growing.⁠
⁠
This is why P2B focuses on ongoing support and individualised support, not just a one-off plan.⁠
⁠
Because as your baby grows…⁠
⁠
Things change.⁠
⁠
And having someone alongside you can make all the difference.⁠
⁠
Confidence doesn’t happen overnight.⁠
⁠
It builds with time, experience… and support ⁠

Just reposting as I have had this conversation multiple times over the past week!!

Just some food for thought.

And yes… Part 2 is coming, because this list could go on for quite a while.

Many parents purchase a bassinet believing that’s where their baby should sleep for the first few months.⁠
⁠
But here’s a little P2B perspective…⁠
⁠
If your baby’s cot fits safely in your room, P2B often recommends using the cot from day one.⁠
⁠
✨ Yes — even with a tiny newborn.⁠
⁠
They aren’t too small for their cot.⁠
⁠
Choosing the cot from the beginning can also make future transitions smoother. When it’s time for your baby to move into their own room, their sleep environment stays the same — the room changes, but the cot remains familiar.⁠
⁠
And remember…⁠
Your baby has spent months curled up in the womb. Sleeping flat on their back is completely new and takes time to adjust to. It’s not that they dislike the cot, bassinet, pram or tummy time — it’s just unfamiliar.⁠
⁠
Just like parenthood feels new to you… sleep feels new to them too.⁠
⁠
Give it time

What was your most unhinged 2am google search as a new parent???

If you’re putting your little one down in the same layers during the day as you are at night, and your room is NOT temperature controlled… it might be time to rethink those layers.

Our homes can be much warmer during the day, then cool down significantly overnight.

So the layers that are perfect for a 1pm nap may not be enough at 2am

What works overnight may be far too warm during the day.

Rather than dressing your baby exactly the same for every sleep, think about the actual room temperature at the time you’re putting them down.

Warmer during the day? You may need fewer layers or a lighter TOG.

Temperature dropping overnight? You may need to add a layer or use a warmer sleep bag.

The important thing is that we are not dressing our babies according to the time of day or habit, we are dressing them according to their sleep environment.

And remember, cool hands and feet don’t necessarily mean your baby is cold. Check their chest or back instead.

Same baby.
Same cot.
Different temperature = potentially different layers.
