The Valley Village Collective podcast aims to provide a safe space for mothers. In the podcast we’ll dive into the heart of motherhood, bringing you relatable stories from local mums and insights from local practitioners.

There’ll be real talk, as we listen, learn and navigate the adventure of motherhood together.

Our aim is to be your virtual village where you’ll feel supported and know where to turn during the rollercoaster of motherhood.

In today's episode, Colleen discusses sleep expectations and normal ranges of sleep in infants, which is so variable. We also explore how each of your children can be quite different.

Colleen advises us of the normal developmental periods that can alter their normal sleep patterns.

Collen adopts the possum methods known as biological sleep regulators and focuses on supporting babies through mindfulness toward the circadian clock and how to implement changes with this. Sleep pressure is the second element of the sleep regulators and we explore ways to increase this and what to look for in your child.

We explore myths around overtiredness and different myths about sleep and touch on toddler sleep.
