I’ve been supporting and educating families, organisations and health professionals for over 20 years. Caffeine is the staple for many sleep deprived parents and Sleep & Settling is one of the most talked about topics for parents during their baby’s first year. There is a lot of information out there that discusses it and it can be confusing and overwhelming knowing where to start. The Baby Care Collective is here to provide you with support, education & simple strategies to give you the confidence to settle your baby to sleep. We offer phone & zoom appointments and single session parenting groups. Working closely with families to provide strategies that work for them is really important to us. Every strategy we recommend is backed by evidence & experience. We want to make sure you are comfortable with what you are asking of yourself and your baby. After spending time with us, you’ll feel more confident in the choices you make about your baby’s sleep and less alone in parenting your baby. We can’t wait to meet you and your little one. LAUNCHING SOON! We also have a range of educational products designed to support you throughout your baby’s day that are exclusive to The Baby Care Collective. These educational tools provide a great overview of popular topics that you will face in your baby’s first year. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144202cbe40c441e9bdcb2e/1654488347782-9XO5W1EF5LK60UZ6I6VM/baby+massage+group.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144202cbe40c441e9bdcb2e/1654488251178-TQ72297QXKUT2A9ZVG6S/cherith+and+gigi.jpeg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144202cbe40c441e9bdcb2e/de0cc88f-8b01-41c8-8aba-e65484249ea6/A4+Product+image+for+website+home+page+with+background+colour.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144202cbe40c441e9bdcb2e/585f5aed-96ee-4155-9db1-7882f702d4c5/DL+Product+image+for+website+home+page+with+background+colour.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144202cbe40c441e9bdcb2e/83a7c9ba-6df0-48d9-b148-0e59c62b5990/Child+blue+cup+5.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144202cbe40c441e9bdcb2e/523e294b-a5c5-431d-9ea7-57f08af72fed/Baby+Massage+products+ALL+website.jpeg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144202cbe40c441e9bdcb2e/3f8b8f76-9077-439c-8e19-d88c36ac8bf7/Bibs+group.jpeg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144202cbe40c441e9bdcb2e/c98c015b-662c-42b9-98ef-96a9821bd5cc/Floral.jpeg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144202cbe40c441e9bdcb2e/e18eabb0-4916-4afd-ba8f-dde726225b78/Breast+Pads+all+colours.jpeg Home https://www.thebabycarecollective.com.au/about daily 0.75 2022-12-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144202cbe40c441e9bdcb2e/4036fa26-885c-42ff-8608-31efc6c13ae5/SHP_2104web+tash+gigi+close+up+smiling.jpg Our Approach - our approach When it comes to sleep & settling, unsettled babies, challenges with feeding and growth & development, there is no one approach that works for every baby or family. The most important thing is that your baby feels safe and secure in their relationship with you. The information you get from a Phone / Zoom consult or Parenting group will give you the confidence to make an informed choice about what suits your Family and baby. All of the work we do with baby’s and families is based on attachment theory. This means that you build a relationship with your baby based on trust, which is a priority in the first year of your baby’s development. Evidence informs our practice and the way we work with families and we are constantly learning and developing our approach to ensure that you get the most up to date evidence based information possible. https://www.thebabycarecollective.com.au/contact daily 0.75 2022-06-07 https://www.thebabycarecollective.com.au/faqs-4 daily 0.75 2023-04-04 https://www.thebabycarecollective.com.au/about-2 daily 0.75 2023-04-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144202cbe40c441e9bdcb2e/057bdc2a-380a-41cf-97d2-21ead152dc79/sonya+cherith+2.jpeg Meet The Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144202cbe40c441e9bdcb2e/e2fd36b4-7f3d-45fa-a8ff-94d17224f627/SHP_1986web+cherith+gigi+smiling.jpg Meet The Team - more about cherith Cherith is a Registered Nurse with postgraduate qualifications from Flinders University in Child and Family Health as well as ongoing professional development and additional training in Maternal and Infant health.

Bookings can be made through the Shop page. *Please note there is a $60 non-refundable booking fee payable on booking. You will receive a call to confirm your booking date and time. Once this is confirmed an email with an invoice will be sent to you and the balance (minus the booking fee) must be paid in full prior to the consult. * evening and weekend appointments can be arranged and may attract a surcharge. A number of strategies to settle and care for your baby will be discussed. This will give you the flexibility and confidence to choose the strategy that suis you, your baby and your family. All consults will include a brief assessment of how your babies growth & development is going and ensure as a parent or caregiver that your Mental Health and Wellbeing are also being looked after. There are many factors that impact sleep and it is important to look at the big picture and consider everything that is going on for you and your baby. As this is only a one hour consult the focus will be on one main goal you have and if further time is required you can book double appointments. Referrals to other Health Professionals and services may be included in the time Cherith spends with you, as well as written information and resources relevant to your needs. There is no judgement, only support. Parenting is overwhelming at times and sleep deprivation and exhaustion make it difficult to see through to the other side. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144202cbe40c441e9bdcb2e/1642736403161-J5RNTDQ3PH7TVZJHM45G/Catherine%2Band%2BAli.jpg Sleep and Settling https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144202cbe40c441e9bdcb2e/1655867595630-L1RWH0988SZEUFN42X10/website+zoomphone+consult+v2.png https://www.thebabycarecollective.com.au/appointments-2 daily 0.75 2022-10-24 https://www.thebabycarecollective.com.au/parenting-groups daily 0.75 2023-04-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144202cbe40c441e9bdcb2e/19ccc6dd-45b8-4e02-85b4-fffd8a70ba26/SHP_2217web+tash+gigi+floor.jpg Parenting Groups - what to expect All groups go for 3 hours and are run by a Registered Nurse with post-graduate qualifications in Child and Family Health. This includes an education session and time to meet other parents. We understand that getting ready with a baby is unpredictable so we allow some time before the ‘official’ session starts for you to arrive and settle in. Questions are encouraged. An exercise mat may be provided for you to sit on with your baby or we may ask you to bring your own. There is plenty of room for your baby to play with some toys on the mat. There is access to a kitchen if you need to heat up a bottle and we can help you get comfortable if you need to breastfeed. The venues all have different room sizes so if you are able to leave your pram in the car please do so. We do understand that your baby won’t sleep to our timetable so if you need your pram for your baby to sleep in we can make it work. If you are unable to attend a session face to face, all groups are live on Zoom so you don’t miss out. You will need to download the Zoom app before the start of your group. An eBook/pdf will be emailed to you before the course starts and that will include all the information from the session as well as some tips and resources. If you are hosting a group a travel fee of $50 will apply if you are further than 25km from Bridgewater. To ensure we are Covid-19 safe all staff meet the current Covid requirements as outlined by SA Health.
