Play & Sleep

The Sleep Mums - A podcast by thesleepmums - Wednesdays

In this episode we’ll look at how much playtime and sleep are linked. And, what can be a tough gig for some parents - how to play through baby’s first year (and beyond) - without being Mr Tumble!   Finding ways to keep your baby awake is just as important as helping them learn how to sleep. Your baby needs sleep to process the world and milk to fuel them but they learn language, creativity and intellectual skills through play. So, yeah, it’s kind of a big deal.   We'll also answer our listener Louise’s question about tummy time for her daughter.   1 – Why play?  2 – Do I need to be a children’s entertainer?  3 – Best toys?  4 – Play through the first year and beyond 5 – Too much play?
