Yawning! No it’s not a tired sign on it’s own

Yawning!
No it’s not a tired sign on it’s own.
While many of us yawn when we feel tired it also a lack of oxygen that makes us yawn, feeling bored or yep it’s contagious. For babies, yawning can be due to them not having slept soundly, been crying and may be experiencing reflux which stops them from taking up enough oxygen.
So if it’s just yawning that makes you put your baby back into bed and they take a while to settle or even refuse to settle. You need to look at additional signs of tiredness other than yawning.
For babies 6-8 and over it could simply be boredom.

Bed confidence! What does that even mean? If a ba

Bed confidence! What does that even mean?
If a baby falls asleep before placing them into bed and wakes as soon as you put them down, it means they don’t have bed confidence and they feel insecure when it comes to naps and night time sleeping.
This is because they are falling asleep in your arms and when you’re transferring them into bed, they know that the security and warmth of your arms will no longer be there.
It’s also a memory challenge. They have fallen asleep in your arms and they wake in a different place, this then creates confusion.
Helping babies feel secure and confident in their sleep environment means they need to be put to bed awake or given an opportunity to play in their bed before falling asleep.
When we pick a baby up immediately at time of a grizzle or cry the message we are giving is that their bed isn’t a happy place to be.
So here a question for you and answer in the comments.
Does your baby enjoy and feel happy and confident in their bed?

Serotonin our happy hormone.
Produced inside our digestive system.
This hormone is produced through amino acids in the body. Foods that help regulate our serotonin are those high in protein ,such as chicken, turkey, cheese, salmon, nuts and even pineapple.
Gut health is very important along side our mental health.
⭐️ Lots of sunshine
⭐️Regular Exercise
⭐️ Meditation
⭐️ Gratitude Journaling
⭐️ Getting enough sleep
For those suffering from anxiety and depression may take medication which help the uptake of serotonin to help regulate moods.
Melatonin is our sleep hormone. Produced at night and works along side circadian rhythms which is governed by sunrise and sunset.
Making sure we have good routines in place to help our serotonin levels and the production of melatonin.
😴Regular bedtime routine.
😴Getting up close to sunrise
😴 Relaxing at least an hour before bedtime
😴No blue light from computers and phones.
😴Lots of natural light during the day.

When these two hormones are not doing what they are supposed too our bodies start to have adverse effects.
This can lead to anxiety and depression plus sleep deprivation.
This is why some medications for anxiety and depression help the uptake of serotonin which makes you feel happier, create more structure which will also help sleep. However it’s also very important that we look at behavioural changes. As these will help us long term.
