We had a great time at the Essential Baby and Toddler Show in Sydney recently. Thanks so much to the many, many families who came by our stall and expressed interest in The Babysleep Doctor (or more specifically, the words ‘Baby’ and ‘Sleep’!).
We were booked out every day of the show and consulted with more than 30 families about how they might achieve better sleep, feeding, growth and/or behaviour for their little ones, and generally more flourishing families.
We received some excellent feedback too from our Sydney visit. One family took the time to drop us a line afterwards, thrilled that “we have applied your sleep training methods and have been successful. [Our toddler] has been sleeping well after three days! We have been delighted as it has given us more sleep and more energy to take care of [our toddler] during the day.”
I also participated in a radio interview with Hope FM while I was in Sydney. We discussed common sleeping problems, myths and sleeping strategies. You can listen to the interview here.
If you weren’t in Sydney for the show but you live in Melbourne or Darwin, we have great news for you! We’ll be at the Pregnancy Babies & Children’s Expo in Melbourne on 24-26 October, 2014 and back in Darwin on 7-9 November. In Melbourne, I’ll be speaking about the importance of high quality sleep for your child and the wellbeing of mother and the whole family. We’ll also be conducting consultations (no gap). Visit our stand at N04. Find out more at: http://www.pbcexpo.com.au/melbourne.
In Darwin, you can attend a seminar with me on Saturday 8 November starting at 4pm at the Quest Palmerston. Cost is $40 per parenting couple and you can book via our web shop. Places are limited. The seminar will include the topics of baby sleep, feeding and growth. I’ll also be consulting and you can book a consultation xxxxx.
Another exciting piece of news is the release of our updated app for iPhones. The Babysleep Doctor ‘Your Baby’ is an integrated tool to assist parents with babies and young children. It combines useful record keeping functions with an extended section of knowledge and advice taken from many years of working with families with young children. My principal work as a medical practitioner relates to assisting the development of optimal growth and sleep in children. The knowledge from this experience is provided through the app. The iPhone version is available now and android and iPad versions are coming soon. You can buy it here.
All the very best to you and your family.
