When it comes to babies and toddlers it's no secret that they thrive on routine and predictability. But, without a plan things can get a little messy.
You might lack confidence and second guess yourself a lot. "Is my baby tired? Hungry? Broken? (I promise this is never the case!)"
You really want structure, but your little one's needs are constantly changing it's hard to keep up.
And that has probably left you feeling a little lost.
And not achieving the predictability you want.
Or even worse, feeling trapped and not enjoying the daily grind.
- Having the confidence to navigate routine transitions as your baby grows.
- Having the freedom to plan ahead, get out of the house and be able to predict when your little one will be ready to eat and sleep.
If this sounds like a dream, I want you to know that it’s 100% possible for you. And I know that, because I’ve been exactly where you are now and have created proven routines to help you make this a reality.
YOU'RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE.
I've travelled this road (4 times) and have found there is no one-size-fits-all solution.
That's why I have planned out 3 different routine structures that will take you from newborn to toddler.
That's right!! You get to choose what routine works for you and your baby!
Got a serial cat napper on your hands? Don't worry, I've got you covered with additional catnapping routines up to 6 months!
- Babies are creatures of habit and thrive on predictability.
- Help you understand your baby's cues so you're not trying to settle a hungry baby or feed a tired baby.
- You can plan ahead because you know roughly what time your baby will need a nap or a feed.
- Other caregivers can easily take over when you need a break.
- Help regulate your baby's internal biorhythms like sleep, mood and appetite, so battles over meal and sleep time are greatly reduced.
- My routines allow you to get out of the house every single day if needed, so you can still run errands and grab a coffee.
- The familiarity of a routine helps babies bounce back after regressions, travel or illness.
- Routines can be adaptable! I know babies aren't robots, but in most cases a solid routine will lead to more consistent sleep overall.

I'm Caroline.
Mother to 4 beautiful souls and internationally certified infant/child sleep consultant.
I am you!
I am right here in the thick of early parenting.
I have been the confused first time mum. Heck, I was still a bit confused the second and third time around.
I have travelled to the depths of sleep deprivation with a sleepless baby, BUT... I've also come out the other side a little wiser (a lot better rested).
I'm not here to show you perfection.
Striving for perfection is setting yourself up to fail.
I'll show you SUSTAINABLE!
That is the secret for a happy baby (and mummy)!
Does this sound like you?
- Dreading nap and bedtime because you know you're in for a battle.
- In such a sleep deprived haze that you have trouble stringing a sentence together let alone trying to piece together a routine.
- Craving structure, but finding it hard to keep up with how fast your baby is changing.
If any of these sounds like you, keep reading, because you’re exactly where you need to be.
NOW IS THE TIME TO GET STARTED!
No more second guessing yourself.
Choose your routine, and go!
Imagine being able to communicate with your baby.
With a solid routine you will be able to differentiate between your baby's tired, hunger, and "I'm bored" cries.
You might even be able to predict your baby's needs before they cry!
LET'S DO IT!
Will I be a slave to nap time?
My baby's not a robot, can they really follow a schedule?
- Newborn (loose) routines
- Catnapping routines
- Short-Long routines
- Medium-Medium routines
- Long-Short routines
- All routines include the timing for nap, milk feeds, solids, and bedtime.
