Raising a little human isn't easy. From well-meaning friends, to experts and baby brands comes a slew of advice and information, some of it misleading and some downright dangerous.
ergoPouch work with experts in the field of sleep solutions to offer your family no-nonsense help and support along your sleep journey from birth to five years. If there is a topic that we haven’t covered and you would like some advice, please let us know.
We often get asked what the best way to sleep a newborn is: arms in, arms up, or arms out. We wish we had a magic potion to give you that answer, but we can tell you ALL babies are wonderfully different. Some are born and immediately want to stretch their arms out. Some want to feel like they're still in the womb, and some like the feeling of arms up.
As the cooler months of Autumn and Winter approach, ensuring your baby stays cosy and comfortable during sleep becomes essential. I'm Tara, an infant and toddler sleep consultant from The Gentle Sleep Specialist, and I'm here to share my top tips for dressing your little one for optimal sleep during these seasons. In this piece, we'll explore practical advice on room temperature, clothing choices, and other factors to promote restful sleep for your baby.
Perhaps you're expecting your first mini, you’re adding to your family and need a quick refresher, or your baby is about to have a baby, and you want to relearn to lend a hand – congratulations to all of you! Whatever the reason, we understand how overwhelming it can be whenever a mini is on the way. Our job is to guide you through the process of swaddling and answer all your burning questions around why and how to swaddle baby for safe sleep. As many of us are mothers ourselves, we've been where you are, and we want to ensure you feel supported as you enter into this journey of newborn sleep.
We've reached that time of year where the nights are darker, and the sun is setting earlier - hello winter (and cosy days to come)!
Moving the clock back is something our adult bodies can adjust to quite quickly. However, it can take toddlers and babies a little longer to get back into the swing of things.
Our What To Wear Guide is a staple in your nurseries and bedrooms across Australia. It takes the guesswork out of dressing a baby for sleep and comforts parents that their child will be warm and safe overnight. In 2024, it has undergone a refresh to make it even easier for parents to understand.
We asked mum, registered nurse and paediatric sleep consultant Tara from Gentlesleep.com.au what she thought of our new 3.5 TOG Cocoon Swaddle Bag . Here’s what she had to say.
Congratulations you’ve survived the first few months of a newborn, have them wrapped snuggly in a swaddle, and baby (may have) finally settled in to a predictable sleep routine. And then comes baby’s first major milestone, rolling, to undo all that hard work!
As a new parent, trying to get your little one to sleep in the bassinet 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.
