For the Burrow

Learning the art of self-settling

Parenting is a life long journey and parenting to sleep is part of this journey. Your parents are still parenting you. My approach is holistic as I deal with both sleep, feeding and food, embracing individual families’ needs, environments and lifestyle.

Babies the world over need unconditional love, consistency and boundaries to help them make sense of their new world and their place in it. I believe nurturing is the secret to cushioning your baby’s transition from womb to world, encouraging them to feed and sleep well.

In my experience, rigid routines place unnecessary pressure on parents and lead to clock-watching; and the result is parents forgetting to enjoy their baby.

Likewise, attachment parenting that is exclusively baby-led can be strenuous,physically and emotionally demanding, and difficult to sustain. My approach blends parent-led and baby-led parenting — I take the best from both worlds and go straight down the middle.

What is important in parernting is how do you want to parent. I believe the best routine is one that fits with your family,reflects the needs of you and your baby, and naturally evolves out of your baby’s sleeping and feeding rhythms.

In my experience, babies under 12–16 weeks do not have the ability to settle themselves to sleep — they are not born with the skills. Therefore it is pointless

(and goes against nurturing) to leave them alone in a bassinet or cot to cry/grizzle — they have no idea how to fall sleep and need us as ‘teachers’ to intervene and guide them.

While self-settling and resettling cannot be taught overnight, the first 12 weeks offer a perfect opportunity to begin building the foundations so that somewhere between 12 and 16 weeks, they will have the fundamental skills — and confidence — to be able to self-settle and resettle on their own with little intervention.

Yes babies do cry – it is their way of communicating so take time to STOP and listen and then act- it is important they are allowed to tell the story but it is also important to respond to their cry. My favourite saying is TACT –time, acceptance, consistency and touch.

Accessing effective KiwiSaver Advice for your family with Geneate

The joy of growing your family brings with it a host of new responsibilities, and while it’s often overlooked, one important area worth reviewing is your KiwiSaver plan.

KiwiSaver is a voluntary savings scheme created by the Government to help Kiwis save for their first-home or retirement. The problem is, despite its nearly 17-year existence, many Kiwis have never received KiwiSaver advice or learnt how to maxmise their investment, and could be missing out.

That was why Generate was set up. Generate are an award-winning KiwiSaver provider, who take a ‘people-first’ approach to providing KiwiSaver advice to everyday Kiwis. Their team are committed to being that point of communication in the community to uplift, educate, and empower Kiwis to make smart KiwiSaver decisions that lead to better outcomes at retirement. With over 10 years of impressive results, the Generate team are valuable resource, and better yet their advisers will be available for advice at the Auckland Baby Show.

“Getting KiwiSaver

advice now is an investment in your future” says Generate Adviser, Alicia Smith.

“It’s important to be aware of what fund type will work best for your savings goals and timeframe. Small changes now could make a significant impact on your KiwiSaver balance by the time your reach retirement,” she explains “And, if you’re planning to withdraw your funds in the next few years, for your first home, getting advice on what changes you might like to make to your KiwiSaver plan is also really valuable.”

Editorial by Dorothy Waide

New Zealand’s leading sleep consultant and author of You Simply Can’t Spoil a Newborn and Simply Parenting From 12 Weeks to 12 Months.

To learn more top tips to help your baby sleep visit the Cell Care Seminar Series at 10am on both days.

Pelvic Health During and Afte Pregnancy

Pelvic health physio has been proven to reduce the risk of perineal tears during birth, and also help with leakage of urine and feces, vaginal prolapse symptoms, painful sex and the aches and pains of pregnancy and parenting. At Unity Studios, our pelvic health physios are passionate about pelvic health, and for good reason: Pregnancy can be very sore! and birth injuries are super common.

Pregnancy hormones, change in posture, change in centre of gravity and stretch of your muscles and connective tissue can contribute to issues such as back and pelvic joint pain, difficulties exercising, swelling and carpal tunnel syndrome and other physical discomforts. Pelvic health physios are perfectly placed to help manage these discomforts, with the aim of keeping you active and able to perform your day to day activities comfortably. Plus, we are able to help you prepare for birth, and, arguably more importantly, prepare for the ‘fourth trimester’ and beyond.

A vaginal birth can result in a birth injury, which are very common. Pelvic floor dysfunction such as bladder leakage, bowel leakage, constipation, vaginal prolapse and painful sex are also common after birth, but they are definitely not normal. Pelvic health physiotherapists are the experts in helping you minimise your risk of injury, guiding you in recovery after birth, and treating any pelvic floor issues you might have.

At Unity, we offer both pre and postnatal WOF appointments. In much the same way as you need a comprehensive check of your car, you also should have a comprehensive assessment of your pelvic floor, core, posture, general strength and mobility during this time of your life when your body is undergoing pretty drastic change.

Whether you’re pregnant, with pain in your pubic bone, or postnatal with vaginal prolapse, we can help you. Us pelvic health physios help by educating māmā about their diagnosis and what has caused it. We then set them up with exercises and progressions, use hands-on

treatment if they’re sore, and possibly some physical aids to support them or help with their rehab. And we aim to always follow up regularly to ensure they are improving and progressing in order to reach their goals.

Even if you’re pregnant or postnatal with no physical concerns, our pre and postnatal WOF appointments are important, to have your pelvic floor muscles assessed, and a personalised pelvic floor exercise programme made for you. Research shows that 30% of women are engaging their pelvic floor muscles incorrectly, even when they think they’re contracting them well. Studies also show that pelvic floor exercises are much more effective, when prescribed and followed up by a pelvic health physio, when compared with just giving someone some written exercises to follow.

Come and see us at the Baby Show, as we chat through pelvic floor exercises, teach you how to do them well, and empower you with knowledge about your body.

How to handle health emegencie

Parenting is all about jumping into the unknown. You can’t wrap your kids in bubble wrap, but you can arm yourself with the skills and knowledge to handle stressful situations. Your little ones will face many different injuries and illnesses throughout their childhood journey. But thankfully, there are 3 key steps parents can take to reduce risks and correctly respond when the unexpected strikes. So you can enjoy the beautiful chaos of parenthood with less stress & uncertainty.

1. Be

Aware

Knowing high-risk situations is key for keeping little ones safe. Families who are aware of risks can then act to minimise them. Common high-risk situations are; children around water and hot items & when eating.

2. Be Proactive

Parents can make a big difference by taking proactive steps to minimise risks. This helps prevent injuries and makes sure unwell little ones get help quickly. Actions like supervising around water, keeping hot items out of reach & enforcing safe eating positions, significantly reduce risks of injuries or serious illness.

3. Be prepared

Not every injury can be prevented, and serious illnesses can develop quickly, even to the most vigilant of parents. Equipping yourself with essential skills and knowledge means you respond quickly and correctly. To stay prepared for emergencies make sure you know when to call 111, choking first aid and effective CPR.

There can be lot’s of ‘what if’s’ as a parent. But remember, knowledge is power! The right education can empower you to calmly & correctly respond when your little one needs you most (no superhero cape required).
