I’m not going to sugar coat it, it’s tough hav

I’m not going to sugar coat it, it’s tough having little ones who suddenly don’t nap anymore!
We go from having a well deserved break and peace and quiet ... then BANG no break!!!! Killer.
BUT I promise you will get used to it. I like to have a bit of ‘quiet time,’ after lunch once the nap has gone. A little cuddle / books / maybe a movie.
It’s also common for the transition to no nap to be gradual. It might be that some days they still have it, and others they don’t, before it disappears entirely.
On average I would say it goes somewhere between 2-3 years... It would be really interesting to know and compare -how old was your little one when they dropped their nap altogether?

Yay, it's here at last! ✨Our new online potty tr

I wasn’t going to share this little poem that I

I wasn’t going to share this little poem that I wrote. Then I remembered that others may be going through what I am going through, and if it can comfort even one other person it is worth sharing. I’ve always been an over-sharer - I was thinking, is this appropriate to share? 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage so I know others have experienced this too, and are experiencing it right now, while we are on lockdown. Why is early pregnancy and miscarriage shrouded in secrecy? At the times we need the most support and understanding. We hide our morning sickness, our tiredness, our struggles.
This week we lost a baby 💔.
.

Its nothing I did wrong and nobody’s fault. There’s no shame in it - although I know many feel shame. And guilt ... the guilt is the strange part. It’s a feeling that creeps in, where it has no place. A dark feeling of wanting to blame, where there is no blame to be had..
.
The NHS staff who looked after me were outstanding as always. Even in the most difficult of circumstances they are making sure that we are all looked after. The hospital was very quiet, quite serene really.
I want to reassure anyone who is pregnant that you will be looked after should you have any complications.
I’m going to be taking a bit of time to grieve for my lost little one now, who was so wanted and so loved already.
I’ll still be here, on and off, trying to distract myself, launching our potty training course this coming week (yay!), keeping busy and letting you know how we are coping during lockdown...
.
I would love to head out for a glass of wine in the sun with my friends, but that will have to wait. Love to all of you, the mama’s, the mama’s to be and the not quite mama’s yet. We’ve got this❤️

🌟WIN a 6 month @giveitawhirli toy sharing subscription box!🌟 .
.
Play is so important to our little one's development, learning and overall well-being. Rotating their toys keeps them interested and engaged. We recently discovered @giveitawhirli - a monthly subscription service to a huge, shareable toy box. .

You are able to pick the toys that you want, which are delivered to your door (so no need to go out!) and you can keep it for as long as you like. Whenever you are done with a toy you simply send it back (they even offer a DPD home collection) in exchange for something else. If your child becomes attached to a toy, you can buy it from Whirli.
@giveitawhirli clean and sanitise all toys, so you don't need to worry about hygiene when you receive your toys. I also love the fact that you only keep hold of those toys that are being played with, and we can help keep unwanted toys out of landfill, where millions of toys go every year. .

I love their selection of books, dressing up, and these wooden toys in particular (our favourite!). To WIN your 6 month subscription to Whirli all you need to do is: .
🌈1) Like this post
🌈2) Follow @just_chill_mama and @giveitawhirli on Instagram
🌈3)Tag a friend who’d love this, 1 tag per comment. Tag as many friends as you like to increase your chances of winning.
Good luck!!! *this competition is by no way sponsored or endorsed by Instagram*
*Winner to be announced Thursday the 2nd of April*

*Winner recieves a free 6-month subscription to Whirli's Toy Box plan with delivery booster, giving them access to 135 tokens (worth £135) at any one time*
*Winner subject to Whirli's service Terms and Conditions* *UK residents only*

We will get through these unprecedented times. We don’t know when yet, but there will come a time when it’s over. For now we have our families, our little ones and our extended networks (even if can only see them via FaceTime!) We are so lucky to have modern technology so that we can stay in touch.
I’m hugging my girls a bit tighter each day.
How are you staying in touch with friends and family?
Has anyone tried the house party app I’ve been hearing about?.

Evening all! It feels bit like we are living in an alternative reality right now doesn’t it? Life is far from normal but it doesn’t mean that you can’t sparkle 💫(in the comfort of your own home 😂👌🏼this is a pic from last month).
.
I’m here and going to try to keep shining and support you all with your little one’s sleep, activities and more (potty training course coming soon!). I’ll give you little updates on what we are up to.
.

It’s far from easy running a business and home schooling and not having my own space (I neeeeeed my own space!) but we are managing. Please note that I’ve got even less time to reply to DM’s & emails but will do as much as I possibly can..
.

We’ve got our online courses, you tube channel and a few 1:1’s coming up. Please bear with us on these - due to lack of childcare they are mostly last minute advertised on my stories.
.
Remember - there is no such thing as a perfect parent. We can only do our best. Just surviving, keeping our families secure and loved is enough. Hold them tight and hold it together!
You are enough ❤️💫

That long Sunday lunch at the pub can’t happen today BUT let’s make the best of what we can do. ❤️ As I keep saying ‘hold em tight and hold it together!’ .
.
We wanted to mark the occasion of this special day, with a 𝐒𝐀𝐋𝐄!!!Yay. From 9.30am today, until 7pm on Monday there is £𝟏𝟎 discount on all of our online courses. Once you have one, you have access for as long as you need so you can do it at your own pace. Any questions???
Tag your friends so that they don’t miss it!!! Love to you all ❤️

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, we

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, we still all need sleep. Actually, more than ever so that we can support our immune systems. I know a lot of you are worried about money and may not be able to afford our courses/calls. So I’m going to do some lives in the coming weeks to answer as much as I can. Planning one tomorrow!
What else would help? I will do some YouTube videos too (could be hindered by the girls!) I’ll aim to cover specific topics in the lives and do what I can. It’s hard to answer very specific questions but I will do my level best.
What would you like me to cover and what time of day is best for a live ?
I’m not sure if evening or day is best?

Things feel weird right now, so uncertain. The one

Things feel weird right now, so uncertain. The one thing that always makes me feel grounded is my kids. My little Lola who is blissfully ignorant, her infectious laughter, cheeky nature, always searching for fun. Hold them tight and hold it all together.
No-one can predict the future but we can take control of our present and how we react. This is a time for positivity, togetherness and community spirit. Let’s focus on the good. Stay away from sensationalist stories on fb groups, stick to the facts and once you know those facts, take a break. If you can, be in nature. Stretch, breathe, play games, dance to music. You’ve got this!
I love how my page is a little community. Please tag any useful accounts to follow for positivity, ideas for things to do with the kids, managing anxiety, accurate news..... Go for it!!!! And thank you in advance xxx

I know many of you are worried, and your kids are

I know many of you are worried, and your kids are worried. So here are some tips from our very own Cleo, clincal psychologist on how to handle the discussion. ❤️Let Conversations Be Led By Your Child - ask the questions which are important to them. ❤️Give ‘Age Appropriate’ Answers ❤️Try not to get tied up in knots about giving ‘accurate’ complex factual information to younger children. A general guide is to start with a simplistic opening description (E.g. Coronavirus is a new illness which makes people feel unwell) is best. ❤️For older children, there may be more complex questions. Young people vary so greatly it would be inappropriate to suggest a blank way to answer. Think about what you’re comfortable sharing and use their questions as a guide to how sophisticated your explanations need to be. ❤️Don’t Shut Down The Conversation! ❤️News about COVID-19 brings about uncomfortable feelings in all of us. Especially for our younger children, this may be the first time they’ve really thought about illness or death. Despite it being potentially difficult, it’s important to listen to their anxieties and fears if they bring them to you. ❤️Its Okay Not To Have All The Answers
Instead of getting caught up in providing the ‘perfect’ answer that will erase all of your child’s worries (impossible!), this about your overall reaction. Modelling how to be calm and optimistic, whilst unsure and worried is arguably more valuable than any answer you can give. ❤️Keep A Routine Going ❤️Despite presenting a calm exterior, changes are going to be happening out of your control. Creating a consistent, predictable routine for your children will help them to feel secure and contained, when so many things in their environment may be changing. ❤️Have Fun And Turn Off The News! ❤️Keep positive and try to to enjoy family time. Play music, games and keep your home a positive space. Be mindful of the news playing in the background and perhaps keep the updates until after bedtime. Even young children are able to understand seemingly adult conversations.
Have you spoken to your kids about Covid-19? Do you have any questions for Cleo?

Happy world sleep day 2020!!! 💤 Sleep is vital,

Happy world sleep day 2020!!! 💤 Sleep is vital, it’s our life force, it’s a love letter to your body!
Sleep affects mood, wellbeing, immune system, learning, growth, recovery, inflammation, concentration, relationships and so much more.
We all want more of it right? So how are we going to do that.... ✅set a regular awake time and bed time for YOU and your baby. We all benefit from this I promise you!!! ✅ cut caffeine after 1pm (this is for you lovely parents!) ✅ screen curfew... for little ones no screen time after 5pm (if bed is 7pm) and for you, no screen time at least an hour before bed. No screens or gadgets or tech in your bedroom. ✅have some unwind time before bed. Lower the lights a little and read books/ quiet play/meditation. This could be for you or your little one! ✅get outside in the fresh air during the day and expose you and your little one to natural light. This really helps our body clocks. ✅look at age appropriate naps for your little one, and for you, try to take that time to rest as much a possible. ✅have a think about how your little one gets to sleep - sometimes, although not always, this can set a pattern for the night.
✅if you are struggling with sleep then reach out for help. You are not alone and sleep can always be worked on. It’s never too late!

I hope that’s helpful. Sometimes the smallest tweak can make a difference. Let me know if you have any questions about what I’ve said in these points.
How many hours did you get last night?🤞🏼

Thank god this happened this morning. I’m feelin

Thank god this happened this morning. I’m feeling super rubbish with my throat infection so needed the rest.
Sleep is SO important for our immune system, amongst almost every other function in the body. With all the talk of corona virus one of the things we can try to do is get a bit more sleep, or at the minimum get a bit more rest.
I highly recommend taking it in turns to get a lay in now and again. Even if it means you feed the baby and then your partner takes over while you go back to bed.
Getting naps in is crucial if you have a baby and are up in the night. If you can get someone to watch baby even for 15 minutes it’s really valuable catch up time for your body.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again,naps save lives!
Tag someone who needs to give you a lay in!

Happy International Women’s Day 2020!!! To all t

Happy International Women’s Day 2020!!! To all the mothers, the sisters, the daughters, the grandmothers, the aunties, the friends.... together we are stronger, together we run the world.
Hold each other up, don’t tear each other down. In a world of scrutiny we can choose to be kind to one another and support each other on this journey that is life.
Some people wonder why we need a day like this. They roll their eyes. We need it for all those who are marginalised, who are suffering, who are treated as second class citizens. The wisdom of women should be celebrated everyday. We can make such a big impact when we work together.
To any who are struggling today, remember you are not alone. ❤️ Tag a woman who you love, admire or just to say Happy Women’s day!! Love to all my sisters ❤️

Well, it’s felt like a long week for me. Catchin

Well, it’s felt like a long week for me. Catching up on lost work after the girls being ill on and off the previous two weeks and I’ve been under the weather the latter part of this week. It’s so hard to get that balance right of resting and actually feeding my family and doing some work.... 🙈
Going to the supermarket to find there’s no toilet roll 🤦🏼‍♀️.... or pasta.... or rice. I’ve certainly texted some profanities this week.
The final insult when you are furiously trying to type something out and your phone keeps trying to write ‘ducking.’ Please just someone make it easy 🤦🏼‍♀️ Who else can’t buy toilet roll?
Who else is stuck down with bugs???

I had such a great time at @thebabyshow last week.

I had such a great time at @thebabyshow last week. I really enjoyed the sleep clinic with @johnlewisandpartners It was so great to get in front of so many parents and give you some guidance.
I know this sleep stuff is hard. It can feel like a total minefield. This is why we created our online courses - to guide and to empower you to take your little one’s sleep into your own hands (link in bio)

I would love to know what your biggest sleep challenge is at the moment? ..................................................................

Sleep can be hard. Parenting can be hard. The disappointment when they reject that meal you’ve slaved over all afternoon. I would LOVE someone to do all this stuff for me.
My youngest wants to live in swimsuits at the moment, I kid you not, or her Ariel fancy dress outfit. I can’t help feeling she would be more comfortable in her leggings 😂
I want someone to run me a bath, put me in my pyjamas and give me a cuddle 🙏🏻 The kids literally live my dream life 😂😂😂😂
Who agrees?!!!

Hello 👋🏻 it’s me! A little intro/reminder

Hello 👋🏻 it’s me!
A little intro/reminder of who I am and how Just Chill Baby Sleep works... 💤 and welcome if you are new to my page!
I’m Rosey, and I’m an infant sleep consultant (qualified 0-12 years). I’m also mum of two gorgeous girls age 6 and 3. You will see some snapshots of our lives alongside all my sleep info. They are my inspiration 👶🏼💫 I also have a lovely team who work with me....you can see them on the website (and some more of them later this week at our team meet 😍). We help parents in the following ways:
❤️FREE advice via my YouTube channel ❤️Regular Q&A’s on here
❤️The blog on our website ❤️Our online courses (link in bio). Currently 0-5, 6-9 and 10-18 months is available... more coming soon! (Potty training next up!) ❤️Phone calls (these are super popular so we run them from a waiting list. It’s currently closed but opening again in a few weeks time). ❤️Home visits. Please contact via the website for availability.
I am passionate about getting sleep info out there, and saving parents from unnecessary sleep deprivation. In the lead up to #sleepawarenessweek I am going to be creating lots of juicy content for you so keep your eyes peeled and sign up to our mailing list to be kept up to date with new courses, waiting list etc.... What are you struggling most with? Is it your baby/toddler or maybe it’s you!? Lots of parents also struggle with their own sleep too. We are here to help 💭 📸 @cooperandbear_media

I’m asked a lot, ‘is it normal that......’ W

I’m asked a lot, ‘is it normal that......’ What is normal for one, isn’t normal for another. As long as you are happy and safe, then there’s no need to worry. Babies and children all run on different timelines, so they won’t crawl / walk / sleep through the night at the same point. The question is, whether you feel worried or unhappy. In those cases it’s good to get a second opinion from a professional.
Your peers who make you feel inadequate or paranoid about your little one’s development should be ignored. Although I have the sleep know how, you really know your baby best. Your are your little one’s number 1 expert!
Save this post to remind yourself how amazing your child is, and how you don’t need to compare.
Tag a mama who is doing a great job ❤️
