I have post natal depression and wasn't diagnosed for 2 years, 2 years later i still have it and can't loose the feeling it will never go away :(

I never discovered I had Postnatal depression until it was too late!! My relationship with my 2 boys father went down hill and the kids and I moved out. I felt like the world opened up and I was alive again. But it soon came crashing down when I started experencing panic and anxiety attacks, they were horrible. I would start to hyperventilate and couldn't catch my breathe which would make me go into a panic and I would be sobbing and crying for help this could go on for hours. have you ever experienced that? please lets talk about it

Has anyone got any ideas as to how to stop my baby having nightmares?

I had the weirdest dream ever.
I had cycled 167k around lake Taupo, it was very windy and took me 8 hours phew :)
That night I slept for 11 hours NO DREAMING so I thought BUT!! my friend said I was sleep talking and not making sense and in the morning BANG!! I leaped out of bed raced outside and was looking up and down the road for a car accident. I had heard the screech of breaks then the impact of the crash and even glass shattering.. wow that was freaky

Has your Child woken Up screaming or crying as they are scared of the dark? What did you do to fix this. Please give us your advise

Swaddling- Firmly wrap your newborn for all sleeps, this helps baby settle quickly and stay asleep for longer. Miracle blankets - make effective swaddling very simple.

Lullaby CD - Your baby listened and enjoyed loud noise inside the womb, so baby will settle much more quickly with 'Time for Dreaming' CD rather than quiet. Try, vacuum noise or our 'Time for Dreaming' CD. Play it louder than baby is crying and leave on repeat. As baby quietens down and settles turn the volumn down to soothe and sleep. Click Me!

Sleep routine – Use the feed/play/sleep routine during the day and put your baby into bed as soon as you see a tired sign so she doesn’t get over-tired. Move to a structured routine with set sleep times once your baby is about 4 months old.

Self settling - Once your baby is over 3 months, ensure she can fall asleep at bedtime without being fed or rocked to sleep. This means she will have the skills to resettle herself during the night.

Baby sleeping bags – Start using a sleeping bag (coming soon) once your baby is no longer in the Miracle blanket, so there are no blankets to kick off or suffocate under. Getting into the sleeping bag tells your baby it’s sleep time, regardless of where baby is sleeping.

Dreamfeed - Feeding baby while there asleep at about 10pm, to ensure they have a full tummy to last through the night and baby doesn’t rely on feeding to get to sleep (For babies over 3 months old).

Consistency – Babies and toddlers learn all new skills through repetition and learning to sleep is no different. So it’s essential you choose a sleep program you are comfortable with and will use consistently until your child is sleeping through the night.

Some of the sleep Tips were supplied from 'The Sleepstore' for more details see www.thesleepstore.co.nz

Cerel Ask child to put plate on bench Help child to brush there teeth, wash face and brush there hair Ask child to get there shoes so as we can get ready for Kindy, Sit and read or chat with child and so on Now once you have done this list for the Nanny/babysitter.
