I think we all go on a different journey with the dummy and what works for one baby might not work for another.

That said, there does seem to be a little window between around 12-14 months and 2 years when it can be a bit trickier.

With my youngest, we waited until she was old enough for the Dummy Fairy 🧚🏼‍♀️ I was dreading it, but it actually worked so much better than I expected! I also made sure I didn’t remove it at the same time her little sister arrived. I didn’t want her to go through too many changes at once.

When you do decide to get rid of the dummy, consistency is key. Going back and forth can be confusing for your little one, so try to stick with your decision once you feel ready.

Why are blackout blinds so important for sleep?

There’s a reason sleep consultants talk about them so much!

Darkness is one of the strongest signals for sleep. As daylight fades, our bodies naturally produce more melatonin, our sleep hormone, helping us feel sleepy and ready for bed.

Light, on the other hand, can signal to the brain that it’s time to wake - which is particularly important when the clocks go back next month and mornings become lighter☀️🍂

A really dark room can help prevent early mornings and can also make daytime naps easier.

So if your little one is waking early or struggling with naps, take a look at how dark their room really is.

This is what it’s all about 🙌🏻

Getting your evenings back and taking away the anxiety around bedtime.

I get so excited when I send a family their sleep plan because I know just how life changing it can be.

That final hour before bed can make a real difference to how your baby settles to sleep and how they sleep through the night.

When I work with families the bedtime routine is a key part of every sleep plan. We make sure it’s happening at the right time and consistently.

As a consistent and predictable routine helps signal to your baby’s brain that sleep is coming. So introducing a mini bedtime routine before their nap can help too.

You can introduce a mini bedtime routine from around 6 weeks, or when you feel ready.
