Sweet dreams<br />

Sleepy ideas for mums and dads ... and their babes!<br />

Sshhhh ... the sweet, sweet sound of baby sleeping<br />

Just imagine. Your babe waking up after the sun rises and<br />

sleeping long restorative naps during the day. Nope, you’re<br />

not dreaming. It can really happen.<br />

Born out of the many mornings Tamsin Glass and her little<br />

boy, Riley, beat the first rays of sun to a new day ... she was<br />

determined to come up with a range of products that<br />

promote healthy sleep.<br />

“A lack of sleep opens you up to physical and mental health<br />

problems, and like all new moms, I was running off love,<br />

little sleep, and 50 Shades of dark circles under my eyes. I<br />

was desperate for something that would keep Riley and me<br />

in sweet slumber a little longer and turn our home from a<br />

tired haze to a happy haven,” she says.<br />

And what she came up with was Dreamy Days - a<br />

collection of carefully curated products, simplistic in design,<br />

functional, and tested by sleep consultants.<br />

First up ... the Dream Pod. It’s all about white noise ... which<br />

helps babies fall asleep, and stay in that deep sleep state,<br />

by providing a comforting and soothing noise and masking<br />

the many sounds that can startle and wake a baby. The<br />

continuous calming sound helps babies drift off, but there<br />

are more benefits, too. It’s a sleep cue, so they know it’s<br />

nap time, it drowns out noise in the home allowing for<br />

uninterrupted peaceful sleep, it mimics the sound of the<br />

womb, which creates calmness and security, allows your<br />

baby or toddler to link sleep cycles and stay asleep and<br />

trains the brain to relax.<br />

Also helping with sleep are the Dreamy Days 100 per<br />

cent Blackout Blinds. These help make sure your child is<br />

getting sufficient amounts of Melatonin (produced when<br />

in darkness) needed for a good night’s sleep. And get this<br />

... these Blackout Blinds use electrostatic technology ... you<br />

simply tear over a perforated line or cut to fit the size of the<br />

window and voila - 100 per cent blackout. Brilliant for when<br />

you travel or drop babe off with gran for the night.<br />

There are loads more products for sleepy heads on the site<br />
