Moving onto solid food

I'm always collecting useful bits of info and ideas from parents I meet. Like a little Magpie, I guess!

Charlotte's mummy Belinda told me about the Qubies.

They're an easy way to freeze food that doesn't involve lots of time having to put into individual ice cube trays. It does it all for you and because they're made of silicone they're so easy to take out and store in freezer bags.

They even produce a video showing you how to make easy veggie purees for bub and how to use them. Too easy. Love it, Belinda

Ikea long-sleeved bibs

Something else that I think is very helpful especially for those self-feeding/baby led weaning stages is the IKEA long sleeved bibs.

They save lots of washing and are not too expensive at $5 each. Miss Rosalies' mummy told me about those. Thank you, Julie.

I'm also loving the baby dipper, a triangular bowl with a heavy base that encourages self-feeding and keeps the bowl on the high chair tray. It was developed by a mum that had twins.

Encourage self-feeding

It's good to encourage self-feeding at 8 months plus. Give your baby the spoon, do finger foods and baby led weaning.

Being able to self-feed isn't just about nutrition, it's about those fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.

Look at Miss Annabelle and her lamb cutlets. She's 8 months old and loves to feed herself :-)

Happy Baby Feeding!

Karen really understand Toddler Behaviour

I have been going to Karen since my daughter was 7 weeks old. Even through her toddler years, Karen has been spot on and has helped immensely with toddler behaviour related questions. Karen guided me through potty training issues and how to best navigate them based on my strong willed child.

Nurture Parenting - knowledgeable, supportive and gentle

Karen was understanding, kind and supportive with clear strategies to help improve our toddlers sleep. She explained what was happening and gave us a plan to follow. This is the second child we have used Karen’s methods with and I would recommend Nurture Parenting to any parents wanting to better understand their babies sleep and gently help them to self soothe and sleep better.

After buying Karen’s newborn program and successfully using it on baby 2, i decided to start even earlier with baby 3. I got a little confused on certain things since she’s preemie but Karen helped me go back to my core and center, listened attentively and answered all my questions. She also went beyond that and shared new ideas with me. It was ace. I might book another in a few weeks if needed. For now baby is doing everything by the book

Advice and videos are so clear and succinct

I just wanted to write and say thank you. We started your program almost three weeks ago, and it has dramatically changed our babies sleep for the better. Toby (10 months) went from waking 6+ times each night. We fumbled during each wake, as we offered dummies, bottles, whatever we thought would stop the crying for a moment. The only thing that we achieved, was waking him up even more and frustrating the **** out of him!

The first night of magic presence took 40 minutes, and now he is down within minutes once he is placed in the cot. We have had a few sleep throughs as well.

Your advice and videos are so clear and succinct. We found them so easy to follow. To compare, we looked back on a sleep consultant plan that we paid $300+ for with our firstborn and were stunned at how complicated and convoluted the plan was. No wonder it didn't work!!

I was so nervous about going back to work being so sleep deprived, and I was also concerned about how Toby would cope with the transition to day care. However, I now feel a lot more confident (and well rested!).

All the best and thank you again.

I'd pay 10 X what I did for this sleep program

never wanted to sleep train, I didn’t think I could personally tolerate listening to my baby cry endlessly. It surprised me how quickly my 7mo picked this up. Night one we removed the dummy and overnight feed cold turkey. We’re on night 11 and bub has been sleeping through almost every night since night 2 (we’re still battling early wakings every now and then). Day naps have also improved remarkably! I’ve also got one of the mums in my mother’s group onto this who is having huge success with her 8mo boy who she fed to sleep previously!

As my title says, I would pay 10x the amount for this program knowing how well it worked! Listening to the crying whilst in the room with bub was hard, but I know my presence was reassurance for her and it is the only reason I went with the program!!

Thanks so much Karen for this program, it’s working beautifully for us and I know it’s setting us up for long term success! I will recommend to anyone who will listen 😂
