Swan parents struggling with 5am wake ups can get free expert help this week, with Australia’s top baby sleep trainer Anna Baker running a masterclass at Milestones Early Learning in Middle Swan on Thursday 29 October.
Ms Baker, founder of SleepBaker and former nanny to Russell Crowe’s children, says many WA parents blame their child for being an early riser when the real culprit is the sun. On Thursday the sun rises in Perth at 5:22am, compared with 5:58am in Sydney and 6:17am in Melbourne. With no daylight saving, light floods Perth bedrooms well before East Coast kids stir, and light is the strongest signal telling the body to wake up.
“Kids don’t care if you’re earning $20 million a movie or working nine to five,” Ms Baker said.
Her client list includes Russell Crowe and Danielle Spencer, Camilla Franks and ModelCo founder Shelly Sullivan. The one hour session offers gentle, practical strategies for families with children from newborns to big kids, covering settling, night waking and early morning wake ups.
The free masterclass runs from 10:30am to 11:30am on Thursday 29 October at Milestones Early Learning Middle Swan. It is funded by Affinity Education Group and open to all parents, with light refreshments provided. Places are limited and bookings are essential via Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/baby-toddler-sleep-masterclass-at-milestones-middle-swan-tickets-2002107842452
