Bedtime with your toddler or baby can be one of the most, if not THE most stressful time in the day for parents. Children are tired from a busy day, from missing the last feed or having adequate dinner, high emotion from children at this time, little ones are looking for connection and sometimes we are just looking for quiet time after a hectic day of parenting and working. It is a hard time for parents and children alike. 

If you are struggling to get your child to bed easily then there are many reasons why this would be happening, and it usually starts with US and also has a lot to do with the way we run the day itself. 

In this episode, we discuss the WHY of bedtime battles for babies and toddlers as well as HOW we can resolve this by giving you guidelines and strategies to begin making this a more enjoyable, quicker and smoother process for your whole family.

If you suspect your baby has reflux, colic or an allergy or has been given one of those diagnosis this episode is for YOU! If you feel that despite the professional advice you have been given, something is just not right with your baby, listen to this incredible episode created just for you..

Aine Homer is “The Baby Reflux Lady!”

Áine is the mum of two girls who between them had diagnoses of colic, reflux, silent reflux, CMPA, and multiple other food intolerances and allergies. Coupled with a three year relationship with postnatal depression, left her feeling lost, alone and like she didn’t even know who she was anymore. 

During that time, her instinct was to always listen to her babies, even though she wasn’t naturally maternal and so she never accepted the explanations that the healthcare professionals offered. Her daughters WERE in pain and there HAD to be a reason.

With a background in mechanical engineering, maths and then retraining in 2012 in Traditional Chinese Medicine, she believed that there was one question which would unlock the answers for her babies. that is still the same question she supports her clients around the world to answer for these children. And that is “What is causing your baby’s distress?” No matter what is going on for them.

Aine has a truly unique and holistic view of treating reflux. Her perspective is all about getting to the root cause rather than just masking symptoms. She challenges the way medical professionals currently address conditions such as colic, reflux and allergies. On a daily basis, she sees families experiencing “medical gas lighting” and unsatisfactory results from the medical interventions.  In her work in this niche area, she validates families, acknowledges what they are experiencing and gives answers based on the presentation of their child as an individual. 

Just like The Holistic Sleep Project, she gives a unique and truly holistic perspective to the families she works with who are struggling. It was such an honour to chat to Aine as a fellow Holistic Practitioner both working in the space of parenthood support.  

If you suspect or have been given a diagnosis for any of these conditions for your child, this is an absolute MUST listen, as it will totally change the way you view your situation and how you can move forward to getting your child out of the pain they are experiencing.

Stephanie Woodhouse is a physiotherapist based in Melbourne, Australia.  She completed her undergraduate study in 2010 and immediately started work in private practice. From there she went on to complete her Post Graduate Certificate and then Masters in Sports Physiotherapy. She has worked in various elite sports since 2013, many of which have taken her around the world traveling with Australian teams. 

But, there is another side to her story. She suffered from glandular fever twice during her school years and never really recovered from the second bout and it developed into chronic fatigue syndrome. Over the following 10 years there were some relapses and an additional diagnosis of adrenal fatigue. After development of some new symptoms she was diagnosed with a Chiari Malformation and underwent decompression surgery (brain surgery) late 2018.

Working in the health industry whilst also suffering from a number of health concerns has given her an interesting, and in some ways, unique perspective. She has gained a lot of knowledge and has accessed a lot of resources that have allowed her to navigate her journey a little easier. 

She is also a mumma to Romy who has just turned 1. Initially things were going well with Romy’s sleep but soon she found her little one was waking 11x overnight which meant she was too, and her partner ended up sleeping in the spare room! She knew she needed support but never resonated with the Controlled Crying or Cry It Out approaches. Referred by a friend she embarked on a beautiful journey of personal growth and sleep transformation which she was very keen on sharing with other mummas. 

During this podcast episode we discuss not only her entire family’s sleep transformation but how important it was to undertake a philosophy that was in line with her beliefs such as co regulation and having a long term approach as well as resolving the immediate issues at hand. She discusses the sleep transformation we embarked upon, to be not only about sleep but intense personal growth and overcoming feelings of guilt, judgement and anxiety she experienced as she considered reaching out for support.  She describes her sleep transformation to be “more transformative than birth”. This is an incredible episode which is sure to change your perspective of what it is like to do sleep work with this unique and truly holistic method at The Holistic Sleep Project.

Once your little one transitions into their big bed it is a total game changer! For many families- for the worst! Once their children realise they can get out of their own beds it can cause sleepless nights for your child as well as confusion and exhaustion for parents. If all the elements that combine to get great age appropriate sleep aren't aligned, parents may experience plenty of disruption, frustration and of course exhaustion as they attempt to get their child to stay in their own bed! 

Like all sleep challenges our babies and toddlers face, its crucial for parents to understand WHY this is happening developmentally and what are the factors that are causing their child to get out of their bed.  Finally, we want to settle on a strategy that you can implement successfully to have them stay in their bed which are discussed in this episode.  

This episode is incredibly practical as it takes you through a 5 Stage approach to identifying WHY your child isn't staying in their bed as well as giving some practical strategies to work through to have your child stay in their own bed from now on! Listen here!

Kirby was spending hours at bedtime, overnight and at nap time doing EVERYTHING to get her son Henley to sleep. She and her partner were exhausted, frustrated, resentful and overwhelmed about the situation they were dealing with in terms of Henley’s sleep. 

Like most families they were doing a dance of all different tactics in the hope of trying to get more sleep. The family was feeding many bottles overnight, attempting to pat him to sleep, leaving and re entering the room basically chopping and changing a lot in an attempt to get their son to sleep, 

Kirby knew she needed help for a long time but was worried about fear of judgement and that a professional would make them do Cry it Out. 

She shares her experience with how the process was working with Georgina, how her concerns never came to fruition, what achieving her goals around their son’s sleep has meant for her family and Henley’s wellbeing.  

Kirby is an absolute pleasure to chat to and has been such an honor to be a part of her family's journey which has now changed forever thanks after a positive experience and achieving more sleep for the whole family!
