Episode 77: From 8-10 night wakes to ZERO!16 Dec 202401:00:21

Cassie had an 8 month old who was waking multiple times each night. When she sought help from a friend she was told that bed sharing would be the best way to maximise her sleep and her baby’s sleep too. But instead of helping, bed sharing caused a drastic increase in night waking. Her son was now waking 8-10 times per night and Cassie was more exhausted than ever. But all of this turned around in under a week.

In this week’s new episode, Dr Fallon & Dr Laura (PhDs, Sleep Practitioners) talk about what Cassie did to get her son sleeping through the night in his own cot.

Episode 67: Setting boundaries with family23 Sep 202401:04:40

Many new parents have to navigate the influx of unwanted advice offered by extended family members. This can be amplified when extended family lives with you or comes to stay for an extended period.

Like our anonymous listener, whose mother and sister in law constantly entered the bedroom when she was settling the baby, to tell her how she could be doing things differently. Setting clear boundaries with extended family, early on, can help set expectations and minimise hurt feelings. You are the parent and you set the rules.

Tune in to hear Dr Fallon & Dr Laura (PhDs) discuss practical strategies for setting clear and reasonable boundaries with your extended family.

Parent questions are answered including:

  • How do I identify my baby’s unique sleep needs?
  • Should I reintroduce a nap that I recently dropped?
  • Does it matter if my baby changes between 4 and 3 naps per day if the total amount of sleep is still the same? 
  • How can I make nap settling easier?
  • What do I do if my baby struggles to resettle during the night?

Episode 66: There’s no shame in cot settling09 Sep 202401:04:29

There are plenty of people who will try to convince you that the only right way to settle your baby for sleep, is their way. They often describe cot settling as being harmful for babies, and when they try to use research papers to back up their opinions, they cite papers that don’t even examine sleep (or infants!) or papers that are purely theoretical and which don’t report on data from families. It creates an unnecessary minefield for parents and leads to feelings of shame and exhaustion.

Tune in to hear why Dr Fallon & Dr Laura (PhDs) are pro parent choice, believing that families are best placed to make their own decisions about how to settle their baby for sleep, and learn why there is no shame in cot settling.

Parent questions are answered including:

  • How do I navigate the change from 2 naps to just 1 nap for my toddler?
  • Will cosleeping during travel make it harder for my baby to sleep in their cot once I get home?
  • Why did my baby have a random tricky night in amongst other great nights?
  • Is it ok if my baby snoozes during day time feeds?
  • My baby’s sleep requirement has been gradually declining – when will it plateau?

Episode 65: Persist or pull the plug?02 Sep 202400:57:27

When you try a new approach for settling your baby, it’s important to persist for a while so you can see if it works for them, and for you! Knowing when to ‘pull the plug’ and try something different, will depend on several factors, including how your baby is responding, and how you feel about continuing. There is usually some trial and error when it comes to settling a baby, and that’s ok. You and your baby are learning.

Tune in to episode 65 to hear Dr Fallon & Dr Laura (PhDs) describe the factors parents should consider when deciding whether to persist, or change settling approaches.

Parent questions are also answered, including:

  • My baby hates the car, how can I help them get used to it?
  • How can I phase out feeding to sleep?
  • How long should it take my baby to fall asleep in their cot?
  • How can I manage tricky settles?

Episode 64: Sleep at Childcare26 Aug 202401:00:33

What should you do if your childcare centre refuses to support your baby or toddler's typical sleep patterns or settling preferences? And what is the best way to approach these tricky conversations? Babies and toddlers often surprise their parents by settling with minimal fuss at childcare, and often sleeping great long stretches with ease. But for some babies and toddlers, this makes their nights very challenging.

Tune in to hear Dr Fallon & Dr Laura (PhDs, Sleep Practitioners) discuss how to manage sleep and childcare.

Parent questions are also answered including:

  • Why does my baby wake 45 minutes after bedtime?
  • What's the best way to drop night feeds?
  • How can I stop early morning wake ups?

Episode 63: Unpaid work is work19 Aug 202400:53:52

There is no job more demanding or exhausting, than raising a child. Yet sometimes parents focus more on protecting the sleep of the parent who is in paid work, than the sleep of the parent in charge of keeping the little ones alive and thriving. It’s not always possible to perfectly split the labour of child rearing, but it’s important that whatever the division of labour, both parents’ health and wellbeing is protected. After all, that’s what genuine partnership is all about!

Join Dr Fallon & Dr Laura (PhDs, Sleep Practitioners) as they explain what you can do to ensure equity in your partnership as you set out to be the very best parents you can!

Parents questions are also answered, including:

  • If I give my baby fewer naps are they more likely to length their naps?
  • Should I assist my baby to sleep longer after a cat nap?
  • How can I teach my baby to knit 2 or more sleep cycles together?
  • What factors should I consider if my child wakes very early?

Episode 61: Fearless cot-settling05 Aug 202401:00:04

This week, Dr Laura (PhD) tells us about a family who were carrying a lot fear and guilt surrounding their baby’s sleep, and how they overcame these fears and improved sleep for the entire family.

Many parents report feeling upset and conflicted about their child’s sleep because they’ve been told that their child’s extreme sleep difficulties are normal, that any number of night wakes or tricky settles is acceptable, and that their job as parent, is simply to endure. These parents are often burdened with guilt for seeking support for their child’s sleep difficulties. They’ve been told that trying to change how they settle their child, no matter how gentle and respectful, will cause irreparable damage to their child. This is, of course, not true. But for many families the damage is already done.

In this illuminating episode of Brand New Little People, Dr Fallon & Dr Laura (PhDs) unravel the guilt and fear surrounding sleep during infancy and toddlerhood, giving parents permission to fearlessly pursue gentle cot settling when they feel ready to do so.

Parent questions are also answered, including:

  • Is it ok to leave my baby’s bedroom before they fall asleep?
  • How can I manage toilet training & bedtime?
  • How can I get my toddler to go to bed earlier in the evening?
  • How can I resolve my baby’s false starts?
  • My toddler keeps standing up in their cot, what can I do?

Episode 60: Are Contact Naps OK?30 Jul 202400:51:15

Most little babies love to take some day naps in the arms of a parent, because it feels snug and warm. Contact naps can be blissful in the early days, but often become challenging as babies become heavier and parents need more hands-free time to get things done.

In this episode Dr Fallon & Dr Laura (PhDs) talk about factors parents should consider when deciding if contact naps will stay or go. As with most parenting decisions, there is no clear right or wrong approach, but having all the facts will empower you to make the best decision for you and your baby.

Parent questions are also answered, including:

  • Will my baby ‘grow out’ of contact naps?
  • How can I tell if my baby is hungry or just looking for comfort?
  • If I wait long enough will my baby spontaneously sleep through the night?
  • How can I extend my toddler’s day nap?
  • How can I support my toddler through moving house?
  • How can I stop feeding to sleep without support from a non-feeding partner?

Episode 59: Dropping Toddler Night Feeds22 Jul 202400:44:16

Some toddlers are VERY reluctant to stop having milk feeds overnight, even when they no longer need to feed due to hunger or to meet their nutritional requirements.

In this episode Dr Fallon & Dr Laura (PhDs) discuss what you can do to ease this transition for your toddler, including signs they might not be ready, and tips on how you can support your child to cope with their big emotions during this change.

Parent questions are also answered, including:

  • Do I need to stop offering my toddler milk overnight?
  • Is it normal for my toddler to react so strongly when I try to resettle him without a feed?
  • Is the 9 month sleep regression real?
  • What can I do if resettling my baby overnight takes more than an hour?

Episode 58: ‘Leaps’ don’t cause disrupted sleep15 Jul 202400:57:30

Developmental ‘leaps’ have been blamed for unsettled infant behaviour and sleepless nights for over 30 years, all because of one small, flawed study conducted in the early 90’s. But what does the research evidence really tell us about leaps? And why is the idea of leaps so pervasively trusted by today’s parents?

Tune in to hear Dr Fallon & Dr Laura (PhDs) dissect the science behind leaps and learn why parents shouldn’t dismiss all unsettled behaviour or persistent sleep difficulties as being due to leaps.

Parent questions are also answered, including:

  • Should I stop contact napping?
  • What should I do if my baby is tried and grumpy?
  • Why is my baby so noisy in their sleep?
  • How does bedtime change as my child gets older?
  • My baby’s daily rhythm changes drastically day to say – where do I start?
  • What do night terrors look like in toddlers?

Episode 75: Your Guide to Tired Signs02 Dec 202401:01:58

Your baby is happily playing but then lets out a yawn. What do you do? Do you drop everything and sprint for the nursery, keen to settle them for sleep before they become overtired? Or do you wait longer to see if a collection of tired signs show up? It might surprise you to learn that yawning isn’t a reliable tired sign in little babies. It might also surprise you to learn that the haste with which you settle your baby after spotting a tired sign, very much depends on their age. If you’re confused, you’re not alone!

In this week’s episode, Dr Fallon & Dr Laura (PhDs, Sleep Practitioners) deliver a masterclass in knowing exactly what tired signs to look for in your newborn, your baby, or your toddler.

Episode 57: Ideal Wake Windows Don’t Exist08 Jul 202400:50:43

If you could only nail those wake windows sleep would be perfect…right? Wrong! Following set wake windows might work for some families but for many they don’t work, and may even worsen sleep. Every baby has their own unique sleep requirements and the amount of sleep a baby or toddler might need at any age could vary as much as 5 hours from child to child! This means babies and toddlers can have vastly different amounts of time awake yet can still have good sleep health.

Tune in to hear Dr Fallon and Dr Laura (PhDs) discuss the lack of science behind wake windows, plus learn what you can do instead of watching the clock!

Parent questions are also answered, including:

  • Should my baby be calm and drowsy before I put them in their cot?
  • Should the first or second nap be the longest?
  • Should I feed my baby in a dark or light room before bed?
  • Is it ok for my baby to take powernaps during feeds?
  • Do extended night wakes always mean a sleep pressure problem?

Episode 56: Night waking: Normal or not?01 Jul 202400:46:04

All humans wake multiple times overnight, and we usually don’t remember – we do a quick ‘systems check’ and then return to sleep in just a few seconds. Some babies & toddlers feel very confident and secure in their cots and upon waking at night will happily fall straight back to sleep – but others wake up very upset or startled, and can’t resettle themselves without parent support.  Night waking in older babies and toddlers, tends to become problematic when night wakes are prolonged, require intense support, and parents are becoming increasingly exhausted.

Tune in to hear Dr Fallon and Dr Laura (PhDs) discuss normal night waking, problematic night waking, and the many variables that can make night waking difficult for parents to manage.

Parent questions are also answered, including:

  • Should I follow my baby’s lead, or start to work towards some predictability each day?
  • How do I manage my little one’s sleep during illness?
  • I tried to drop my toddler to just one nap but it didn’t work out, what now?
  • Can sleep requirements increase?
  • Can my 3 month old sleep in her own bedroom?

  • How can I help my baby overcome jet lag?
  • What can I do if my baby won’t sleep in anyone’s arms but mine?

They also answer member questions including:

  • How do I get my baby or toddler in to a new daily rhythm?

  • How will I know if my baby or toddler is getting too much sleep, or not enough?

Episode 72: Sleep & settling can be hard to change28 Oct 202401:05:12

New parents are told to expect their sleep to change forever—but nothing truly prepares you for the reality of caring for a precious new life on such fragmented sleep. After the blur of the early weeks and months, many parents find themselves ready to make adjustments to where, when, and how their baby sleeps. For some, this shift happens within the first six months; for others, closer to a year; and for some parents, they simply aren’t ready to make changes to their child’s sleep until their little one is a toddler or preschooler. But one thing remains the same: it’s usually the parents who want things to change, not the baby. And that can make the transition challenging.

In this week’s episode of Brand New Little People, Dr Fallon and Dr Laura discuss what parents can do when adjusting their baby or toddler’s sleep turns out to be harder than expected.

Does your baby or toddler refuse to sleep in their own cot or bed? Do you have an unwanted cosleeping situation?

It’s a really common problem but it can be resolved with loving, responsive parenting.

In this episode, Dr Fallon & Dr Laura (PhDs, Sleep Practitioners), share the advice they give families in their clinic and discuss strategies you can try with your little one.
