And when I watch you dream, I realise all my dreams came true when you entered my life ?? We hope you sleep well this weekend, and that's why we spoke to sleep consultant Rozanne Hay about understanding overtiredness in babies, and how to prevent them from becoming too tired to sleep... Read the full post through our stories ? "Your baby sleep/wake cycles are guided by hormones The key hormones we need to understand are melatonin and cortisol. Cortisol keeps us awake and is at its most prevalent in the body at around 8 am, declining in potency throughout the day, unless a stress response causes the body to release more. Conversely, melatonin increases as light levels decrease, naturally preparing the body to sleep when darkness arrives. Helping your baby’s brain to release melatonin means that you don’t have to fight to get him or her to sleep once cortisol levels have risen through over-tiredness." ... ?  Beautiful photo from @bjorna of little one wearing our Grey Stripe Zip-Up Sleepsuit! #MORImoments #Sleeptember #Livethelittlethings #mum_hub #darlingmovement #worldoflittles #simplychildren #letthembelittle #letthekids #momtogs #justbaby #motherhoodrising #candidslumber #thebloomforum #dailyparenting #pursuepretty #minimal #habitandhome #flashesofdelight #makemoments #jj_its_kids #thingsiwanttoremember #kindredmemories #parenting #momlife #mumlife
