better sleep for baby!

Something that may be of interest to new mums - makes a lot of sense.


An Online Sleep Tool for you

I went to see Dr Alex Bartle speak about infant sleep the other week. I have heard him speak on the topic before about the many ways to help infants, and ultimately, maternal sleep. I did learn something new - it is a great idea to take your baby and toddler out in the morning for a walk to a park. Apparently, blue and green natural light helps the circadian rhythm kick in as it increases the melanin levels in the body. This means that the child’s brain registers very clearly that this is the morning and by the time the sun goes down in the evening they will be naturally tired and sleepy. Bright indoor lights just don’t give the same result
