So yeah, let's get straight into 29 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: this episode. And this is a much requested episode about 30 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: Ivy's sleep and feed routine. So before we do get 31 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: into it, a little disclaimer is obviously I am not 32 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 1: a professional. I am simply just explaining to you guys 33 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 1: what we are doing with our baby and the advice 34 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: I have received from a professional sleep consultant and the 35 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,359 Speaker 1: resources we're using, you know, like like I say in 36 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: all my episodes, like this is just me telling you guys. 37 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: And I guess why I'm kind of putting that disclaimer 38 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: in is I didn't realize this, but like routines for 39 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: newborns is a bit of a polarizing issue. Like when 40 00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:00,639 Speaker 1: I first spoke about it on my Instagram, I didn't realize, 41 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 1: but I got a lot of comments like you shouldn't 42 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: be putting a newborn on a routine, and yeah, I 43 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: realized that there's two camps. And it's like you're either 44 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,920 Speaker 1: for the routine or you're someone who doesn't like routine 45 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:18,639 Speaker 1: for newborn. And I'm just of the view that everyone's 46 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 1: parenthood and motherhood journey is different and valid. You know, 47 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: every human is different, every baby is different. And as 48 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: long as you're doing what works for you, as long 49 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 1: as you're happy your baby's happy, I think that is 50 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: like totally fine. So if you know, if you listen 51 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: to this and you do not agree, that is so fine. 52 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: I you know, I'm not saying this is the only 53 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: thing you should do. I'm just simply saying this is 54 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: what we did. And to be completely honest, I am 55 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 1: someone who loves routine. I am, you know, a tiepai person. 56 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: I'm a bit of a control freak. And the first 57 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: six like, if you haven't already listened to my episode, 58 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: the first six weeks, it is the most intense shocking thing. 59 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 1: It's like a death of yourself. And I found that 60 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 1: this routine for Ivy and me has made me such 61 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: a happier mum and honestly has made Ivy such a 62 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: happier baby. I'll get into it. But before her routine, 63 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 1: Ivy was not a happy baby. She was honestly very grumpy. 64 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 1: She was collar quy, she cried all the time, and 65 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: all all that went away when we put her in 66 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,039 Speaker 1: this sleep and feed routine. And I honestly think it's 67 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:46,799 Speaker 1: because she was either hungry or she was overtired. Poor 68 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,720 Speaker 1: girl was not sleeping enough for sure, because yeah, she 69 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: just didn't know how to self soothe. And when she 70 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:59,040 Speaker 1: started sleeping more and getting more sleep, she literally changed. Guys, like, 71 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:03,600 Speaker 1: she is such happy baby, and sleep for babies is 72 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 1: so important for their brain development. So yeah, anyway, long 73 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 1: story short, let's get into so the reason that I 74 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 1: had kind of heard of routines because I come from 75 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: you know, like my mom had four babies and she 76 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,159 Speaker 1: had you know, she was a stay at home mom, 77 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: and she was very of the view of, like, you know, 78 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: sleep and feeding on demand and doing things that way. 79 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 1: And I only sort of knew about routines because a 80 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 1: girlfriend gave me a book called I think It's like 81 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: the Baby Bible, and it's by Rebecca Judd, and she's 82 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 1: got four kids and she wrote a book about pregnancy 83 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,919 Speaker 1: and babies. And I remember in that book what And 84 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,719 Speaker 1: I read this while I was pregnant. Definitely a good book, 85 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: Like there was kind of stuff in there which I 86 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,799 Speaker 1: didn't really agree with, but anyway, it was a good book. 87 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 1: And I remember her in that book saying she put 88 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 1: her firstborn like she got help from a sleep consultant 89 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 1: and she put her firstborn on a routine at six weeks, 90 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 1: And by the time he was twelve weeks, he was 91 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 1: sleeping seven seven pm to seven am, like twelve hours, 92 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:33,919 Speaker 1: which I thought, holy crap, that's incredible, and I remembered that. 93 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 1: And then when Ivy was eight weeks. Also another popular 94 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:45,799 Speaker 1: influencer I follow, savann Ahla. She also has two babies 95 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: and spoke about them being on routine since they were like, 96 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 1: you know, come straight from the hospital, and how amazing 97 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: it was for their sleep and just their routine. So 98 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 1: I had those ideas floating in my head and so 99 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,279 Speaker 1: let's chat about what kind of made me go to this. 100 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 1: So at eight weeks, Ivy was just a man feeding 101 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: and sleeping through the night. She would wake usually every 102 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: three hours, so you know, it was like six pm, 103 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: we would feed her, put her down than nine pm. 104 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 1: Then she would have a longer stretch till maybe two am, 105 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: and then she would get up again at five am. 106 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: And so you can imagine like when you were getting 107 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 1: up that amount of times per night, like your brain 108 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 1: is just not functioning. And even I had Tim helping 109 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 1: me doing a bottle some of those feeds, and it 110 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: was just it was wild and I just thought, surely, 111 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: I just thought, is there a better way? Like I 112 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 1: was kind of losing my mind a bit with the 113 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: no sleep because I just, yeah, it was it was 114 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 1: a lot for us. And I found, you know, when 115 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 1: I wasn't sleeping, I was quite I don't want to 116 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: say unhappy, but when you're not sleeping, you obviously don't 117 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: have full capacity. You're not functioning. It's like, you know, 118 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 1: it's just harder to do life. Like I found that 119 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: me and Tim were fighting a lot, and it just 120 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: it felt really hard. And also she just was not 121 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: a happy baby. She was crying all the time, like 122 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: she just Ivy did not seem good. And I remember 123 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: saying to Tim, I feel like something is wrong. I 124 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 1: feel like we're doing things wrong. And you know, the 125 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 1: control freaking me was like, I need to sort this 126 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 1: out because I see other people with their baby sleeping 127 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 1: through and sleeping longer periods and just being a lot happier, 128 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 1: and so yeah, I want to kind of get into this. 129 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,560 Speaker 1: And then I remember I went back to that book, 130 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 1: The Baby Bible, when Rebecca was talking about like her 131 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 1: routine and whatnot, and one of like a piece of 132 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 1: advice in there she said, one piece of advice I'd 133 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: give you is if your baby isn't sleeping like, go 134 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 1: and help from a professional. It will be the best 135 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 1: thing you do. And so I thought, that's it. I'm 136 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:10,320 Speaker 1: gonna like, I'm gonna seek help from a professional. So 137 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: I found one and I will put her details in 138 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 1: the show notes. Her name is Susie and let me 139 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 1: just let me look at my last invoice from her 140 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 1: so I can see where she's from. So she's from 141 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 1: Happy Baby Consultancy and she is Brisbane based. I'll put 142 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,679 Speaker 1: her details in the show notes and I just like 143 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 1: text her. We jumped on a call and it was 144 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 1: just such a relief because she she explained so many 145 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 1: things to me where she was like, you know, babies 146 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: biologically should feed and sleep and they should know basically 147 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: what to do. And at this point to oh this, sorry, 148 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 1: I missed a whole part of this story. So a 149 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: big part was so Ivy would sleep in a cop 150 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 1: by herself during the night, which was really good, and 151 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 1: we would obviously just get up to feed her every 152 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: three hours, which was still painful, but you know, we 153 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 1: were getting little bits of sleep, but through the day 154 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 1: just because like from when she was a newborn, we 155 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: would just kind of carry her around, you know, how 156 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 1: do you do with a little baby, And what we 157 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:32,199 Speaker 1: were finding at eight weeks is she just wouldn't sleep 158 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 1: through the day unless she was on you, and so 159 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,839 Speaker 1: it was just really hard because me and Tim were like, 160 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,560 Speaker 1: you can't get anything done. So if I was home 161 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,959 Speaker 1: alone with Ivy, you literally couldn't really get anything done 162 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 1: during the day. And obviously vice versa if Tim was 163 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: at home with Ivy and I was just like, oh 164 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:56,199 Speaker 1: my god, like yeah, it was just a lot, very 165 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 1: very clingy. And she also wouldn't go to sleep unless 166 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 1: she was like yeah, on me or being rocked to sleep. 167 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: And I remember I just like I felt super anxious 168 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 1: all the time because it's like you never knew how 169 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 1: long it would take to get her to sleep, and 170 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,680 Speaker 1: then she was not sleeping more than forty five minutes, 171 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 1: which is like a sleep cycle for newborns. And yeah, 172 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 1: it was just like this. It was a lot, and 173 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: I was just like, I feel like there is a 174 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 1: better way, and I had my first consult with Susie, 175 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 1: and guys, this is not you know, sponsored or anything 176 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 1: at all paid for Susie's services, and holly shit, best 177 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: thing I do, but best thing I did, Like that book. 178 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: The best advice I can give you is if your 179 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,079 Speaker 1: baby is not sleeping for more than forty five minutes 180 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 1: through the day, like they can't link their sleep cycles, 181 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 1: or they're not sleeping through the night, like, just get 182 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:53,439 Speaker 1: some professional help, because it literally if you want, it 183 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 1: literally changed the game for us. So basically, just to 184 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: you know, bring it back to the present day. After 185 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 1: three weeks of Ivy being on this feed and sleep routine, 186 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: she was sleeping from her nine thirty feet till seven 187 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 1: am in the morning, and then just recently in the 188 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 1: last week, she is now sleeping seven pm till seven 189 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 1: am and we have to go in and wake her 190 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,320 Speaker 1: up at seven am, like she's just sleeping so well. 191 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 1: And then throughout the day she has two one and 192 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 1: a half to two hour naps and one forty five 193 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 1: minute nap in the afternoon, so she is like getting 194 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 1: all her sleeps in. And she was a baby who 195 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 1: did not sleep much when she was a newborn, and honestly, 196 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 1: I honestly think that's why she was so grumpy, because 197 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,320 Speaker 1: she was like overtired all the time and she really 198 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 1: needed help, you know, to get to sleep. So I'm 199 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 1: not gonna lie, guys, it was a little tough getting 200 00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 1: her into this routine. So it was definitely a tough 201 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 1: you know, two to three weeks. The biggest kind of 202 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 1: advice that we got from this sleep consultant was if 203 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,680 Speaker 1: you want your baby to sleep well during the night, 204 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 1: you have to make sure they're getting all their food 205 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:18,080 Speaker 1: during the day. So I just used to leave Ivy 206 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,960 Speaker 1: until she told me she was hungry, whereas now she 207 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:26,199 Speaker 1: feeds at certain times of the day and I basically 208 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,560 Speaker 1: know that she's getting all her calories in during the day, 209 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 1: which is why she can sustain that twelve hour nap. 210 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 1: I mean sleep well, it's definitely not an app And 211 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 1: then another thing too is sleep breed sleep Like that's 212 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 1: the saying the consult said, And basically I realize if 213 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 1: Ivy is sleep during the day isn't good, her sleep 214 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 1: at night isn't good. So when she sleeps, you know, 215 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,559 Speaker 1: quite good during the day and we make sure she's 216 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:02,440 Speaker 1: like not overtime and she's getting her naps, she sleeps 217 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,680 Speaker 1: even better at night. And it's weird because you would think, oh, 218 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,080 Speaker 1: if she sleeps all day, she's not gonna sleep all night, 219 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: but it's the opposite. If she sleeps all day, she 220 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: sleeps all night. Whereas if she has like, yeah, a 221 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,080 Speaker 1: bit of an unsettled day, will notice, it's so much 222 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 1: harder to get her to bed. So basically some things 223 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 1: that helped us was her awake windows. And there's also 224 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 1: this really great resource called what what Baby like WoT 225 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 1: baby and that stands for windows of time. You can 226 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 1: find them on Instagram. And also really good resource I 227 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 1: found on Instagram was the Sleep Teacher. Both of those 228 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 1: were good, but like I said, I got an actual 229 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 1: sleep consultant who worked with me in Ivy personally, and 230 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 1: that was it was a game changer to actually have 231 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 1: someone you know, texting Ivy's just working up. Should I 232 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 1: go and resettle her or should I leave? Blah blah blah. 233 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 1: So basically the biggest thing that we notice is her 234 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 1: windows of time. So Ivy was eating and then she 235 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 1: would stay awake for like two hours before we would 236 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 1: try and get her to sleep, and by that time 237 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 1: she was overtired and it would be even harder to 238 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 1: get her to sleep. So now her a wake windows 239 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 1: during the day are an hour and fifteen minutes from 240 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 1: the time she woke up to an hour and a half, 241 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 1: And like I said, if we put her to bed 242 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 1: any later than this, it's harder to get her to sleep. 243 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 1: So really tightening up those awake windows and making sure 244 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 1: if she's been awake for that manner time she's back 245 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 1: down for a nap and you know, lining up her 246 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 1: feed times and whatnot. So that's like, for example, if 247 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 1: Ivy only has a forty five minute nap during the day, 248 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 1: we don't keep her for a wake a longer longer 249 00:15:54,640 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: than what that nap was. Are you currently trying to 250 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 1: grow your hair, get glowing skin and nails, or help 251 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 1: your gut health, Well, look no further because Naked Harvest's 252 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 1: collagen powder is here to change it all.

And this is why we called 260 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 1: our collagen the beauty Alixa, because it really is a 261 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 1: beauty supplement that is going to help you glow from 262 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 1: the inside out.

But more 265 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 1: than that, collagen is such an important building block to 266 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,439 Speaker 1: so many parts of our body. So not only is 267 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,680 Speaker 1: your skin going to glow, your hair and nails grow, 268 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,639 Speaker 1: but it's also going to help with your gut health 269 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 1: and we all know how important that is.

Okay, 279 00:17:54,160 --> 00:18:00,679 Speaker 1: now let's get back into today's episode. So basically, if she, 280 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 1: you know, only has a forty five minute nap and 281 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 1: she doesn't resettle, we would only keep her for a 282 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,200 Speaker 1: wake for forty five minutes and then we would put 283 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 1: her back down to sleep and so on. So if 284 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,439 Speaker 1: she sleeps the full an hour and a half to 285 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 1: two hours, we then keep her up for the hour 286 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,639 Speaker 1: and you know a half, But otherwise, if it's shorter, 287 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 1: we match her nap to how long we keep her up. 288 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:32,879 Speaker 1: We also feed her every four hours, but we she 289 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,439 Speaker 1: has like quite She's actually fully bottle fed now, and 290 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:41,360 Speaker 1: that's because Ivy started refusing the boob at eight weeks, 291 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,119 Speaker 1: which was a little bit sad for me, but you know, 292 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:48,440 Speaker 1: it's Ivy's well, it's what she wanted, and I honestly 293 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,720 Speaker 1: think that's because we did introduce the bottle so early. 294 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 1: But in saying that, we you know, I am back 295 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,200 Speaker 1: to work and Ivy is only three months old, so 296 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: it's a little bit hard because we knew that Ivy 297 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 1: would need to take the bottle because our plan was 298 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:08,119 Speaker 1: always Tim would spend this year at home with Ivy 299 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 1: and I would go back to work. So of course 300 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 1: we need her to take the bottle. So yeah, she's 301 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 1: fully bottle fed now. So it does make it a 302 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 1: bit easier for us because we know exactly how much 303 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 1: she's getting. So this is another thing with resettling. Like 304 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 1: I said, Ivy wasn't sleeping for longer than forty five 305 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 1: minutes at a time, and she would wake up and 306 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,920 Speaker 1: cry and we would pick her up. So what we 307 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,679 Speaker 1: now do and she fully knows how to self settle, 308 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 1: So basically our routine is we put her down in 309 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:45,879 Speaker 1: the cot, fully awake. You know, we make sure we 310 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 1: fully prime the environment. So we put her little glow 311 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 1: dreaming light on, she has a sound machine. We put 312 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 1: her in a sleepsack, we have blockout blinds. We put 313 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,199 Speaker 1: her in her cot and we say, Nana, Ivy, this 314 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 1: is during the day, and she goes in her cot 315 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 1: fully awake, and we simply leave the room and we 316 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:11,119 Speaker 1: let her. We let her put herself to sleep. Because 317 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 1: basically what was happening is before we were completely putting 318 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,120 Speaker 1: her to sleep. So we would rock her, we would 319 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 1: bounce her, we would do all those things get her 320 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 1: to sleep, and then like carefully put her in the cot. 321 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 1: And then what she would do is she would wake 322 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 1: up after one sleep cycle. And because when she went 323 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,680 Speaker 1: to sleep, I was there, we were rocking her, we 324 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 1: were comforting her. When she would wake up and we 325 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:41,199 Speaker 1: weren't there, she wouldn't link her sleep cycles and she 326 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 1: would cry for us. So basically, if you guys think 327 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 1: about it, like babies are a clean slate, like they 328 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,919 Speaker 1: only know what they know. So or for the first 329 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 1: eight weeks of Ivy's life, during the day she slept 330 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,440 Speaker 1: on me, we always rocked her to sleep, like all 331 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:02,640 Speaker 1: these things. So of course she would cry unless that 332 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 1: thing happened. So this is where I say it was 333 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,399 Speaker 1: a little bit tough, and it feels a bit, you know, 334 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:13,640 Speaker 1: against your intuition. But at first, you know, we put 335 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 1: Ivy in the cot fully awake, and she would cry. 336 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 1: And when I say cry, I'm not talking like an 337 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:25,119 Speaker 1: emotional cry. I'm talking like they call it a protest 338 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 1: cry when the baby simply you know, wants to have mum, 339 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 1: if that makes sense, So what would we So what 340 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 1: we would do is we would put her down. You know, 341 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 1: she would cry, kick around the cot. I would always 342 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 1: time it, and I wouldn't leave her for longer than 343 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 1: six minutes. But ninety nine percent of the time she 344 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 1: would cry for five minutes and then she would just 345 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 1: go to sleep because she realized I wasn't coming back. 346 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,200 Speaker 1: If you know, she had been crying for a good 347 00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 1: five to ten minutes and I could see that she 348 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 1: wasn't putting her to sleep. I would go in there 349 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,360 Speaker 1: and pat her bum and have my hand over her, 350 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 1: just so she's like, she knows Mom's there. But I 351 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,199 Speaker 1: would never pick her up because the whole thing we 352 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,479 Speaker 1: realize is, you know, if you if she cries and 353 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,440 Speaker 1: you go in and pick her up, then she goes, oh, okay, 354 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:20,679 Speaker 1: anytime I want mom to come pick me up, I 355 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:22,639 Speaker 1: just cry. She picks me up and I can sleep 356 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 1: on her. But what we kind of showed her was, no, 357 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: you cry, I'll come in and comfort you, but you're 358 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,159 Speaker 1: going to sleep and you're cot and you'll you know, 359 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:35,200 Speaker 1: you have to link your sleep cycles. So, like I said, 360 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,200 Speaker 1: it was a little bit hard at the start, because 361 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,400 Speaker 1: no one wants to hear their baby cry. But once 362 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,159 Speaker 1: you realize, like, it's so funny because we have a 363 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,439 Speaker 1: baby camera and we'll literally watch Ivy and she'll cry, 364 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,160 Speaker 1: and once she realized no one's coming in, she'll look 365 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 1: around and then just put her head down and go 366 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 1: to sleep. And me and Tim are like, oh my god, 367 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:58,920 Speaker 1: she's so cheeky. So and that's the thing is it 368 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,440 Speaker 1: was only hard at the start, And she only did 369 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:05,120 Speaker 1: that at the start because previously she would cry, we'd 370 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,200 Speaker 1: come in, we'd put her to sleep, and that's all 371 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 1: she knew, and that's what she thought she had to 372 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 1: do to get to sleep. Whereas now she knows I 373 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:16,159 Speaker 1: can put myself to sleep, I know. And this is 374 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 1: the big thing that I love about routine is Ivy 375 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 1: barely cries because she doesn't need to cry for me 376 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 1: to feed her. She gets fed every three to four hours, 377 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:32,159 Speaker 1: you know, once her two hour nap is over, or 378 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,439 Speaker 1: once you know it's seven am, I come in and 379 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 1: I pick her up. I don't wait for her to cry, 380 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,440 Speaker 1: if that makes sense. So what we have found since 381 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:46,119 Speaker 1: putting this routine into place, we've found are, like, you know, 382 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,479 Speaker 1: the whole witching hour thing. So Ivy used to cry 383 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 1: NonStop in the afternoon. She no longer does that. We 384 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:56,400 Speaker 1: do not have witching hour, and I honestly think that's 385 00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 1: because she's getting enough sleep during the day and she's 386 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 1: getting enough calor during the day, so she literally has 387 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 1: no reason to cry. And I think what was happening 388 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:10,200 Speaker 1: previously is because I wasn't being very like onto her 389 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,639 Speaker 1: feeding time. She was either overtired or she was hungry 390 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 1: in the afternoon, because I get more hungry in the afternoon. 391 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 1: So basically she doesn't cry at all because yeah, like 392 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 1: I said, once her NAP's over, we come in, we 393 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 1: pick her up, and when like we feed her before 394 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 1: she's even needing to cry to tell us she's hungry 395 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: because she's fed. And for us it has just been 396 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 1: an absolute game changer to see how happy she is. 397 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,639 Speaker 1: But also it's been a game changer because we know 398 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 1: when we're feeding her, we know when her naps are, 399 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 1: so we can completely plan the day. I've gone back 400 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:53,200 Speaker 1: to work, so this routine has made it so much 401 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:57,440 Speaker 1: easier for Tim, you know, to look after her and 402 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 1: also like her sleep pep through the night even at 403 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:05,400 Speaker 1: ten weeks, like from that nine thirty till seven am. 404 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 1: Oh my god, guys, I need sleep. And it changed 405 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,480 Speaker 1: like it was a game changer for us. And I'm 406 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,919 Speaker 1: a big believer. Is like if mom's happy, baby is happy, 407 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,680 Speaker 1: and it's it's just it has been so much better 408 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 1: for us. Like I said, it was a little bit 409 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 1: tough at the start figuring it out letting herself soothe. 410 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,359 Speaker 1: I do want to be like deliberate though, and just 411 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 1: say we don't do the crying out method, Like if 412 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 1: you do that, amazing, you do you, But it's not 413 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 1: like we leave her and she's crying for hours. The 414 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:43,919 Speaker 1: simple protest cry was just to teach her to self soothe, 415 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 1: and it honestly only took a week or so and 416 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 1: she understood it. And now she completely puts herself to 417 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 1: bed and even I will watch the camera after forty 418 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:58,160 Speaker 1: five minutes she wakes up in her morning naps, she'll 419 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 1: wake up, she'll move around the cod a little, she'll 420 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 1: make some noises, and then she'll put herself back to 421 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,399 Speaker 1: sleep because she knows, oh, I've got another sleep, and 422 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,359 Speaker 1: then Mum will come and get me and we'll feed. 423 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 1: So like she's she's super smart, like babies are really 424 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:15,920 Speaker 1: smart and they they know you know what they want 425 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 1: and they know, oh if I cry, Mum will come 426 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,639 Speaker 1: get me and I can sleep on her. Whereas, yeah, 427 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,160 Speaker 1: if you don't teach them, they you know, they only 428 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 1: know what you can know, if that makes sense. But yeah, 429 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 1: A couple other things that we did is I started 430 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 1: reading the book Save Our Sleep. This is a musk, guys, 431 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,639 Speaker 1: So this very much. If you can't you know, afford 432 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,160 Speaker 1: the Sleep Consultant, or you just like you don't feel 433 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 1: like you're at that step yet, go and read this book. 434 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 1: Get it on audible, get it on Kindle, because very 435 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:57,000 Speaker 1: much everything that I was taught from the Sleep Consultant 436 00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: was in this book. And I will go back to 437 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 1: the book. It's a little bit different with their awake times, 438 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 1: but in this book they have example routines that tell 439 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:12,440 Speaker 1: you exactly you know, when to feed, when to put 440 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,119 Speaker 1: baby down, and this and that. So if you're wanting 441 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:20,879 Speaker 1: direction about routines, that's definitely what I recommend. But to 442 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 1: give you guys a rough idea, currently what Ivy's routine 443 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,879 Speaker 1: looks like. This is what we do. So we wake 444 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 1: Ivy up at seven a m. She's usually always sleeping 445 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,480 Speaker 1: at this point, and so we go in and wake 446 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:40,400 Speaker 1: her up. We never leave her past this point because 447 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:44,679 Speaker 1: generally there's a twelve hour window, so whatever time you 448 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,200 Speaker 1: wake baby up, that's the time they'll go to bed. 449 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,680 Speaker 1: So we never want her to put her We never 450 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:53,680 Speaker 1: want to put her later than seven pm to bed 451 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,480 Speaker 1: because we eat after that. It's like wait too wait 452 00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,399 Speaker 1: for us. So just think, whatever time you wake baby 453 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,159 Speaker 1: up is generally the time that they will go to sleep. 454 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,640 Speaker 1: So we wake her up at seven am. We say, hi, Ivy, 455 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,720 Speaker 1: you've had such a good sleep, you know, kisses, cuddles, 456 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:12,880 Speaker 1: change her, bring her downstairs, and she has her first 457 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:16,920 Speaker 1: bottle of the day. A quick tidbit guys with feeding. 458 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 1: A guy that my pediatrician told me is you go 459 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:26,159 Speaker 1: off your baby's weight times one fifty, which is like 460 00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,400 Speaker 1: how many mills, and then you divide that by how 461 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,720 Speaker 1: many feeds you do a day. So we do four 462 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 1: feeds for her at the moment, so she has around 463 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 1: two hundred mills in each bottle. So yeah, seven am feed. 464 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 1: We then keep her awake for an hour and fifteen 465 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 1: to an hour and a half. We have playtime in 466 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 1: the Mama Roo that sort of thing, and then she 467 00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 1: is down in her cot. We put her in a 468 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:58,120 Speaker 1: cot completely awake, and we let her self soothe and 469 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 1: go to sleep. So often we'll look the camera and 470 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 1: she won't go to sleep for like fifteen minutes. She 471 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 1: will like mess around her cock cot, talk to herself 472 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 1: that sort of thing, but eventually she'll go to sleep. 473 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 1: If she does cry and she doesn't go to sleep, 474 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 1: I'll simply go in there, tap her bottom, help her 475 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 1: to sleep, and she'll go to sleep. But usually, you know, 476 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 1: she knows how to self soothe now, and then she'll 477 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,320 Speaker 1: usually have an hour and fifteen to two hours for 478 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:30,320 Speaker 1: her first two naps. Again, if she wakes up after 479 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 1: one cycle and she doesn't link it and she cries, 480 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 1: I go in there and I pat her bum. I 481 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,600 Speaker 1: never had. I never take her out of the cock. 482 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:42,959 Speaker 1: If she's hysterically crying, I generally know okay, she you know, 483 00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:46,200 Speaker 1: is either have has a burp or she needs her 484 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 1: nappy changed, and obviously I will, you know, do those things. 485 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,880 Speaker 1: I'm not like a robot. Her next feed is at 486 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,960 Speaker 1: eleven am, and then we do the exact same thing 487 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 1: with the awake times. How we put it to bed 488 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:03,680 Speaker 1: and and then her next feed is at three PM 489 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 1: and then six point thirty and then in the afternoon. 490 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:13,040 Speaker 1: She doesn't usually sleep longer than forty five minutes, which 491 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 1: is fine because she usually gets a good three or 492 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:20,480 Speaker 1: four hours before that. And then we do her bedtime routine, 493 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:24,400 Speaker 1: so we give her a bath, we have a little play, 494 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 1: we get her in her pajamas, and then we do 495 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 1: her last bottle at six point thirty, and then she 496 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 1: gets put in bed at seven and goes to sleep, 497 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:37,440 Speaker 1: and at the moment she's sleeping the twelve hours touch wood. 498 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:42,120 Speaker 1: So that's just a little bit about what has helped us, 499 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 1: what we're currently doing with her routine. But yeah, I 500 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:50,320 Speaker 1: hope that helps. Definitely check out what Baby, which is 501 00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 1: Windows of Time. The sleep teacher on Instagram has some 502 00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 1: great resources. The book This is a Musk Guy's The 503 00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 1: book Save Our Sleep has been such an amazing tool 504 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 1: for us. Again, we don't do everything in the book, 505 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:08,960 Speaker 1: but take what you want. It's just really great, you know, 506 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:14,160 Speaker 1: to know. And then getting help from the sleep consultant Susie. 507 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 1: I'll put her details in the show notes. Oh my God, 508 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:21,320 Speaker 1: like game changer. I text Susie all the time. And 509 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,880 Speaker 1: I go, oh my god, you know, Ivy's had the 510 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:27,920 Speaker 1: best sleep day, thank you so much. And she's like 511 00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:31,920 Speaker 1: Susie's very old school and she yeah, she's like she 512 00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 1: was a bit brutal. I'm not gonna lie, but she 513 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:37,840 Speaker 1: was awesome. And she just gave me so much confidence. 514 00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,440 Speaker 1: And that is like the biggest thing. Since we've got 515 00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:44,360 Speaker 1: Ivy into this routine, I just feel so much more 516 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,880 Speaker 1: confident as a mum because, you know, because I know 517 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 1: if she's crying, it's like I know that you know, 518 00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 1: I know she's been fed, i know her nappy has changed, 519 00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,720 Speaker 1: I know that she's had enough sleep. So if she's crying, 520 00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,560 Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, what's wrong? And it's just like 521 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 1: her routine eliminates so many things and she doesn't really 522 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,440 Speaker 1: have a lot of reasons to cry. And then also 523 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:13,360 Speaker 1: it's just it's made me and Tim's relationship so much 524 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,600 Speaker 1: better because everyone knows, you know, what they're doing when 525 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 1: they're doing it, what she needs. It's so amazing for 526 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:24,800 Speaker 1: me going back to work. It's so amazing for both 527 00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:28,160 Speaker 1: me and Tim's sleep, Ivy sleep, Like obviously you can 528 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 1: see I'm a big fan of routine. Yeah, it has 529 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,240 Speaker 1: been a game changeer for us, so obviously I wanted 530 00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 1: to share this. But again, I know this is not 531 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:40,480 Speaker 1: for everyone, and that is so okay, but please do 532 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:44,080 Speaker 1: not DM me and you know, come at me about routine, 533 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:48,760 Speaker 1: because like I said, everyone's journey with parenthood is different 534 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 1: and valid and whatever works for you, that's amazing. I'm 535 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,479 Speaker 1: just telling you, guys, what has worked for me and Tim. 536 00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 1: And also I'm telling you because I kind of wish 537 00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:02,400 Speaker 1: I had started this whole route thing earlier. I know, 538 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:07,400 Speaker 1: and save this, save our sleep. She has routines from newborn, 539 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,360 Speaker 1: and one hundred percent with our next baby, I will 540 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:14,160 Speaker 1: be doing her routines from day dot because I just 541 00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:17,360 Speaker 1: feel like, you know, newborn stage is hectic enough to 542 00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:21,600 Speaker 1: eliminate you know, these sorts of things. It's it's super helpful, 543 00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:25,600 Speaker 1: but again that's because I'm someone who loves routine, and 544 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:31,680 Speaker 1: of course my baby loves routine. But yes, anyway, guys, 545 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,240 Speaker 1: I hope that answers your questions. I know I've kind 546 00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,600 Speaker 1: of just like blabbed on, but yeah, I hope that 547 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:40,440 Speaker 1: is helpful.

But for now, everyone's sleeping 552 00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,840 Speaker 1: in the Crouch household and it is just bliss. And 553 00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:02,360 Speaker 1: if your baby's currently not sleep, definitely definitely look into 554 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:06,160 Speaker 1: us again.

I have another girlfriend who is 556 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,360 Speaker 1: currently just starting a routine and she has said, you know, 557 00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:16,000 Speaker 1: the first couple weeks is hard, but stick to it. Yeah, 558 00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,840 Speaker 1: we saw amazing results, and yeah, we're all very happy. 559 00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:22,799 Speaker 1: But I hope this episode is helpful and I will 560 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:26,160 Speaker 1: chat to you in my next episode.
