An 'elite nanny' has created an innovative product to help sleep deprived parents with their newborns - and it means you can change a nappy in a matter of seconds.
Anna Baker, 37, is better known as the 'baby whisperer' among wealthy parents and celebrities.
She started out assisting with actor Russell Crowe and his ex-wife Danielle Spencer's children, and never looked back. While she's a pro at getting children into a better sleeping routine, Anna joked that she needs help with her own kids' attitudes.
In 2022 she launched her business Sleep Baker but her latest venture is Dream with Baker - a unique baby 'swaddle bag' that allows parents to change a nappy in 60 seconds without waking up the baby.
The pouch allows parents to slip the baby's legs out from the bottom half of their clothing for a quick and effortless nappy change. Once the nappy has been changed, you simply tuck the legs back into the pouch.
Anna said nappies can take up to five minutes to change and can be challenging in the middle of the night - especially if you don't want to wake up the bub.
It can then take an additional 15 minutes trying to get the newborn back to sleep.
Over the course of one day, parents can waste too much time simply changing a nappy then putting the child to sleep. But the swaddle helps instantly cut down this time.
Alternative products - such as onesies - are made with buttons along the legs, but the swaddle is button-free and made with elastic at the back so it can be used swiftly.
Speaking to FEMAIL, Anna revealed the biggest mistake new parents tend to make is picking up advice from social media.
'Parents get in this zone where they really want to learn how to put their child to sleep so they go on social media and find five or six different methods to try - but they don't stay consistent for long enough,' she said.
'One method might be tried and tested for a few weeks, and it might work for a little while, but when it doesn't parents then change to another method.'
Anna said a child isn't going to learn something overnight and can sometimes take a month.
'Consistency is key when it comes to babies - you want to keep everything the same,' she said.
When it comes to sleep training a baby, Anna said to never be silent - make as much white noise as possible.
'I've had parents say they don't wash the dishes after 6pm because the baby is sleeping. You want a baby to sleep through white noise so you can continue what you're doing, rather than living around your child,' she said.
And similar rules apply during the toddler phase.
'More than half the time, toddlers always win the bedtime battle because parents are often so sleep deprived they give in,' she said.
'Sleep deprivation creeps up on you, so it's important to set good habits early during the newborn stage - for the sake of both the parents and baby.'
Today Anna and her team of 15 'sleep train' babies, which involves establishing healthy sleep patterns for babies after three to five nights of training. Sleep Baker also offers general nanny services.
