Anna Baker Shares Sleep Tips on Channel 7

We’re thrilled to announce that Anna Baker, our beloved founder and renowned sleep consultant, made a special appearance on Channel 7’s Morning Show this week! If you missed it, don’t worry – we’ve got you covered with all the highlights and valuable insights Anna shared.

The Dream with Baker Sleep Swaddle

Anna challenged the hosts to a race to see how quickly they could change a nappy, showcasing the innovative features of the Dream with Baker elasticised back.

Made from GOTS-certified organic cotton, these swaddle bags are designed with your baby’s comfort and safety in mind. They feature a round neckline with snaps, long sleeves for temperature comfort, fold-back mittens, and an elasticised pouch for easy night changes – perfect for babies in special care (NICU).

The entire Dream with Baker range is designed to serve as your baby’s pyjamas, making nappy changes quick and easy. During winter, babies will need an additional 2.5 or 3.5 TOG sleeping bag on top.

We’re incredibly proud of Anna and her continued dedication to helping parents navigate the challenges of baby sleep.

Anna Baker’s Top Tips for Baby Sleep

During her segment, Anna, affectionately known as the "Celebrity Baby Whisperer," delved into her expert advice on ensuring better sleep for babies. Here are the key takeaways:

1. Establish a Consistent Bedtime Routine

Anna emphasised the importance of consistency. A calming bedtime routine signals to your baby that it’s time to sleep. Activities like a warm bath, gentle rocking, or reading a quiet story can work wonders in creating a soothing transition to sleep.

2. Create a Safe Sleep Environment

Safety is paramount when it comes to baby sleep. Anna reminded parents always to place their babies on their backs to sleep, use a firm mattress, and keep the crib free from pillows, blankets, and toys to reduce the risk of SIDS.

3. Pay Attention to Sleep Cues

Recognising your baby’s sleep cues can make a significant difference. Signs such as rubbing eyes, yawning, or fussiness indicate that your little one is ready for sleep. Putting your baby to bed when they show these cues can help them fall asleep more easily.

4. Swaddle or Use a Sleep Sack

Swaddling or using a sleep sack can provide your baby with comfort and security, promoting better sleep. Anna highlighted the importance of ensuring the swaddle is snug but not too tight, with hips left free to move.

5. Create a Soothing Sleep Environment

A calm and quiet sleep environment is essential. Keeping the room dark, using white noise if needed, and maintaining a comfortable temperature can help your baby sleep more soundly.
