A dream feed is a method used by some parents to offer a late-night feeding, usually between 10 and 11pm, initiated by them just before going to bed. The idea is to feed your baby while they are still sleepy and not fully awake, however, it's important to note that not all babies will benefit from a dream feed which I explain in this podcast.

If your baby in under 6 months the dream feed may be something you are considering but not sure how to do it or even what the signs are if it is working or not. If your baby is over 6 months and still taking a dream feed it could actually be causing night wakings...

This weeks podcast I explain it all for you and of course how to do it safely to ensure your baby does not vomit or choke.

Too often parents put their child down to bed later in the evening in the hope their child will sleep a little later the following morning. Unfortunately the majority of the time, it backfires and the child wakes at their usual time or even earlier - does 5am sound familiar to you? Why does this happen?

They are overtired. The body has a higher level of cortisol in it due to overtiredness and this cortisol (one of many different chemicals that the body requires to wake up) is what drives us to wake up each morning. 

Now there are other ways overtiredness can affect your child and it can creep iin from other places not just a late bedtime. 

In this week's podcast I explore the reasons in more details for you and of course solutions for you to implement and so you can wave good bye to that overtired child you have and hello to a happier, rested family!

Happy Listening!

Witching hour has arrived, your baby starts to cry and boy does it go on longer than an hour..some days it does not seem to end...and then you have the comments from others saying it's just colic...your baby will get over it...But what is colic really and how can you best support your baby though it?

I have been diving into the archives with parenting professionals that I have worked with and this week I bring the amazing Christian Bates to you. A colic expert! Christian Bates qualified in Naturopathy in 1997 from the British College of Naturopathy and Osteopathy. In 2008 he opened the award-winning Perrymount Clinic in Haywards Heath, written a book and helped hundreds of babies and supported parents on his journey.

This week's podcast are the video audios he kindly did over on my Instagram. He talks about that Witching Hour, planned c-section babies, fast deliveries, probiotics, lockdown babies and "what if you have tried everything...". This podcast will help you understand colic more and give you some tips to try at home and things to think about. 

You can find Christian's website HERE

Having been a nanny for 20 years and a mum myself for almost 8 years I have planned and prepped hundreds and hundreds of family meals. Never in my life has it become so easy as it has now after the help from the genius that is Suzanne - The Batch Lady!

Suzanne has joined Holly and phillip on "The Sofa" over on ITV's "This Morning", written cookbooks and has a huge following over on INSTAGRAM with videos, lives and tips for your family meals, recipes and planning.

This weeks podcast is the live we did on Instagram and I wanted to make it more accessible for you to reach by bringing it to your earbuds! 

I often direct my families I work with towards adopting The Batch Lady method because the days are busy and fly by and having to cook 3 times a day is not so much fun or easy with small children around. That's when The Batch Lady comes into play, "shop once, cook once and eat well all week"!

How amazing does that sound!

So listen on and enjoy and don't forget to rate and review the podcast! It means a lot to me!

Peaceful mealtimes to you all,

It may seem like there is a very obvious answer out there to this question but with more social media out there and shops advertising beautiful nursery products such as cot bumpers and pillows it can be confusing to know if it is really safe to use these products and if so when is it safe to use them? 

In this week's podcast I dive into this topic with a lot of information from the Lullaby Trust UK and the AAP (American Association of Pediatrics) to bring you some guidance to your child's sleep space to ensure it is safe. and you know what is needed and what is not...

For more information on safe sleep please see the following websites and resources
