Hello and welcome to The Growing Mums Podcast, with me Kiera Hawkins. I am a Primary School Teacher and mother of two, trying to muddle through motherhood and learn from my mistakes along the way. Here we will be talking all things modern parenting, from baby and toddler sleep to self-development and growth. We will be having those raw, honest conversations that mums don’t often get a chance to have in the playground and we will be searching for those moments where we find connection through shared experiences. Get ready for some advice from experts as well as some insightful ‘motherhood confessions’. Let’s get started!

In this episode, I chat with the incredibly lovely and knowledgeable 'Sleep Coach Mom' AKA Ellanee Wilson.
Sleep training is such a divisive topic but I really urge anyone who is anti-sleep training to listen to this with an open mind. This is a non-judgemental podcast and I hope that this comes across in the episode. There is no right or wrong when it comes to baby and toddler sleep, we all have to find the best way to suit the whole family and there are episodes coming up with completely different perspectives.
We discuss all things baby and toddler sleep, including sleep training, not sleep training and the impact that sleep deprivation can have on us as mothers. We discuss mum judgement, sleep routines and a bit of good, old-fashioned bribery! Ellanee is very experienced and shares many stories of clients that she has worked with using a range of methods designed to suit the individual child. She also answers my own sleep questions and those sent in by the listeners.
I hope you enjoy. Lots of love,
