In-Home Baby Sleep Consultation (Newborn to 3 Months
In-Home Baby Sleep Consultation Newborn to 3 Months It is common to see that during a hospital stay, the focus is centred around pregnancy and labour, followed with a strong focus on initiating breastfeeding to stimulate milk production. However, once at home, there’s a noticeable absence of support and it can be very overwhelming. Sleep training a newborn is not recommended, but meeting your baby’s needs effectively can foster better sleep habits, resulting in a consistently content baby and providing parents with the crucial time they need to rest and recover. Carmel, Baby Sleep Consultant and Founder of Calm Babies can offer the following options for newborn home visits. 3-HOUR MORNING VISIT (7AM TO 10AM) Carmel will visit your home and demonstrate an appropriate ‘feed-play-sleep’ schedule. She will also observe baby’s sleep environment and make recommendations and provide advice on any feeding or lactation queries you may have.

Calm Swaddle
As a mother and experienced mothercraft nurse, I understand the struggles of trying to get a good night’s sleep with a newborn. It can be a challenging and overwhelming time, and it’s natural to want to do everything you can to help your baby sleep better. That’s why I developed the Calm Swaddle, a wrap designed to help your baby stay settled, feel comforted, and sleep longer. Wrapping your newborn can mimic the sensation of being in the womb, providing a sense of safety and comfort that can help soothe them and encourage them to sleep longer and wake up less often. The warmth and light pressure of the wrap can be especially comforting for newborns, helping them feel more secure and settled. This can, in turn, help you get more sleep, as you won’t be waking up as often to tend to your baby. The Calm Swaddle is made from breathable bamboo/cotton with elastane, a soft and comfortable material that provides warmth and comfort without overheating your baby. It also allows for some movement and breathability, ensuring that your baby is comfortable while they sleep. Whether you’re a new mother looking for a little extra support or an experienced parent seeking a new solution, the Calm Swaddle is here to help you and your child get the rest you need. Our swaddle is machine washable, on a cold gentle cycle, and requires no ironing.
