Tizzie Hall - ArticlesMake sure you're getting the real Tizzie HallUnfortunately, I have recently learned how easy it is to be the victim of identity fraud. When you have achieved a modest reputation like I have, it seems that you make enemies. Someone, or more than one person, has been posing as me and participating in chat room discussions. I never participate in chat rooms. Baby SafetyBaby safety is of the utmost importance to me and the Save Our Sleep® team, and we pride ourselves in conducting thorough testing and research on all baby products before recommending or adding them to the Save Our Sleep® store. Some products pass our testing and are recommended, but other versions of the same baby products I do not recommend and are therefore not available in the Save Our Sleep® store. Why Baby Routines?I believe my baby routines are very important in helping parents to interpret their baby's cries. They teach parents to understand the difference between their baby's various cries. When following a baby routine, you will start to recognise your baby's hungry, tired or bored cries. When your baby starts to cry, you will be able to look at the baby routine and see what is due next. If your baby is due a feed, you will start to recognise that cry as a hungry cry. When to Start a Baby RoutineMy experience indicates that babies don't start to surface between sleep cycles (the process of drifting between light and deep sleep) until they reach 6kg/13.2lbs, which is usually around 8 to 16 weeks. This is why you can aid a newborn baby to sleep and he will still sleep for a long period, however when he starts to surface between the sleep cycles, he will start to catnap during the day. Growth spurts while following my routinesI can't state strongly enough how important it is for a breast-feeding mother to follow my advice on expressing. If you want to have your baby on my routines and breast-feed successfully, you will need to follow the expressing times I have stated in my baby routines. The expressed milk should be kept and given at the 6:00pm feed or stored in the deep freeze for a later date. Getting out and about on a Baby routineIt is very important that you still get out and about while following a baby routine. In my routine when I tell you to put your baby down for a sleep in his cot it is alright to put him in the pram or buggy instead and go out for a walk. When you are a new parent it is very important you don't stay home all day and feel isolated. The DreamfeedTo do the dreamfeed, you gently pick up your sleeping baby, place the bottle or breast on his lower lip and allow him to drink, taking care not to wake him. When finished, sit him upright for a few minutes to allow wind to escape. Babies are usually so relaxed at this feed, they don't gulp air and so don't have much wind. The reason I recommend the dreamfeed, is to try to avoid you having to get up more than once in the night. Routine FAQsMy baby is two weeks old. I would like to follow your routines but I don't like expressing, so I have chosen not to ever express. How should I adjust the routines? I do not recommend any mother who is not expressing to follow my routines in the first 8 weeks. The reason for this, is if you express, then your breasts will have enough milk during the growth spurts which happen at about three and six weeks. ColicWhen your baby cries for long periods, it can be distressing for you as well. No parent can bear to see their baby upset or in pain. What causes your baby's unexplained crying? It's commonly Colic. Purchase our article about Colic and the best ways to solve it. Infant Acid RefluxDo you suspect your child has reflux? Have you been told your baby has infant acid reflux, but aren't sure? The Save Our Sleep™ reflux article can help you identify and relieve infant reflux. Babies with infant acid reflux spend less time sleeping and more time crying, day and night. These symptoms can have other causes, however, whether your baby has infant acid reflux, or has been misdiagnosed, the Save Our Sleep™ routines will help you treat your babies symptoms.
