For many parents, the mental health of their children is a clear priority. The impact of these conditions left untreated is huge.
How can we do our best to capitalise on the preschool years to avoid future mental health problems in our children? One way is to foster their self-esteem from birth which forms a protective barrier, reducing the impact of mental illness.
If there is one thing that I find most challenging as a parent, it is meal times! Even as a nutritionist who loves to cook, I am not exempt from the frustration of trying to nourish little ones.
Children and sleep can be a challenge for many parents, which feels never-ending. Inconsistent sleep is normal for babies and toddlers as they develop.
So naturally, anything we can do to support restorative sleep for our little ones is worth giving a try.
Travelling with a baby or toddler can be nerve-wracking. Especially maintaining their precious sleep routine.
With knowledge, a little planning and a positive mindset, your baby or child can continue their familiar routine and sleep well during your travel and while you’re on holidays too.
Sleep challenges in children can literally be a nightmare (pardon the pun!) for parents. Handling the endless requests to quench that sudden thirst that seems to emerge just as you’ve left their bedroom each night, or even managing the behaviours in the lead up to bedtime – is exhausting for parents. However, this is a battle worth pursuing. Sleep has a significant impact on a child’s development and behaviour.
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. Specialising in unsettled babies and poor sleep, Dr Golly developed this program through his work with thousands of babies over a decade of practice.

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.
