White noise, most commonly known as soothing or calming sounds, has become increasingly popular for adults looking to improve sleep quality, concentration levels and overall relaxation. White noise has long been associated with it’s use for babies to promote sleep, but incorporating white noise into your everyday adult life has many health benefits, such as aiding in relaxation, mindfulness, and overall well being.
To celebrate the launch of our Easy Sleep Portable Crib, we sat down with our friend Dr Golly to chat about sleeping on the go. Dr Golly (Dr Daniel Golshevsky) is a Melbourne-based paediatrician and father of three.

It doesn’t matter how well a baby sleeps, or how hard we try to create the best sleeping environment; the reality is that babies will inevitably have unsettled times. And some more than others. The first 3 months of life are frequently referred to as the 4th trimester because babies have so much maturing to do. They have the enormous task of organising everything they experience into something that makes some sense, which is very challenging. Read on for tips on how to settle your baby.

We often get asked what the best way to sleep a newborn is: arms in, arms up, or arms out. We wish we had a magic potion to give you that answer, but we can tell you ALL babies are wonderfully different.
As a new parent, trying to get your little one to sleep in a crib can be daunting when all they want to do is sleep on you. We know that babies wanting to sleep on or near us is biologically normal and helps with brain development. During the day, we can enjoy those newborn snuggles (because we know they go way too fast!!), but it can be frustrating and dangerous at night if you're dozing off while holding your baby.
All healthy newborn babies are in fact born capable of drifting off to sleep when their basic needs are met, and when they are in the ideal conditions in which to do so.
And when they do, it’s magical.
However, this may not happen all the time and it is absolutely OK to offer hands-on settling support when your little one can’t quite do it by themself.
Perhaps you're expecting your first mini, you’re adding to your family and need a quick refresher, or your baby is about to have a baby, and you want to relearn to lend a hand – congratulations to all of you! Whatever the reason, we understand how overwhelming it can be whenever a mini is on the way. Our job is to guide you through the process of swaddling and answer all your burning questions around why and how to swaddle baby for safe sleep. As many of us are mothers ourselves, we've been where you are, and we want to ensure you feel supported as you enter into this journey of newborn sleep.
