New Improved! How to get your baby to take a bottle (for fussy breastfed babies)

What real people like you say…
Trudi has been a fantastic help and support in getting my 6 month old to take a bottle. Her ebook is packed full of useful information that isn’t available anywhere else. The real difference, though, is her phone support. After 4 days of my daughter refusing the bottle I was convinced she’d never do it, but Trudi offered practical advice and reassurance. Within hours my daughter had taken the bottle. Having someone on the end of the phone who’d done it before AND been successful was invaluable. Thanks Trudi.
Natasha Crowther, mother of one 6 month old, London, UK

It’s such a common problem as babies become so accustomed to breastfeeding before you know it, and then you go to introduce that bottle and baby point blank refuses! Of course we all know breast is best but at some point we would all like a little more freedom and for whatever reason, that is nothing to feel guilty about! Whether it is one bottle a day, one a week or you need to return to work and wean baby completely, this ebook is the one for you!

You simply won’t find this information elsewhere and it will work, all you need is the confidence and back up which comes when you read the ebook and realise it makes so much sense! Adding a little phone, IM or home visit support will add to the feeling that you are not dealing with this alone and give you the knowledge that the ebook holds the answers you’re looking for! The ebook has been improved and deals with the all important nipple confusion which understandably worries many mothers wanting to do mixed feeding. All the way down to the way you hold your baby while teaching them to take a bottle; all the details are covered here.

New Improved! How to solve your child's sleep problem... kindly

What real people like you say…
Just wanted to email to thank you for all the help you’ve given me with my son’s sleep problem. After speaking to you on the phone I decided I would buy the sleep ebook and the sleep reward chart you’d recommended. You made me realise that if I wanted to change things, I should just decide to do it and stick with it! My little boy now sleeps all night. I cannot believe I waiting this long, three years of nightmare nights (and days too where I was so tired!) and all it took was three days of hard work! I would recommend your service to anyone!
T Norris, mother of one 3-year old, Texas, USA

Here we have another extremely common problem, which at some point causes every parent a problem, whether it’s a simple case of holiday complacency causing trouble when you return, or baby needing to be weaned off night feeding, and into a better sleep pattern, this is the ebook you need! This ebook will provide you with much kinder alternatives to the old “sleep-training” controlled crying method!

You don’t have to live with this any longer! This ebook holds the answers you are looking for. We know that sleep problems can just creep up on you and before you know it you’re driving round the block, taking midnight strolls with the buggy, or reluctantly letting your brood climb into your bed all in aid of getting a little more sleep!!! Sleep deprivation can cause stress, anxiety and even depression and it doesn’t need to be like that, you can solve your child’s sleep problem and still be respectful and kind to them! Don’t hesitate, at this price, you’d be daft not to try!

How to solve your child's eating problem

What real people like you say…
First of all thank you so much for your eating ebook! My daughter had a very small range of foods which she’d accept, and I knew something needed to be done before her health suffered. I thought I’d buy your ebook on eating problems. I have to say I was able to read the ebook pretty quickly and found the information clear and very well written. It has helped me to calm down, stop panicking and relax at mealtimes. I have recommended it to everyone I’ve met who has a fussy eater. The whole idea of your method is so refreshing and makes so much sense! Now for the best part, my daughter is trying new foods every time I offer them (which is every day mostly!), she has increased her range of foods by I’d say 400% at least in the last month (I’ve been following the advice for 2 months). I can’t believe the change in her and me too. I’m so grateful for the advice I can’t express this enough! Thank you again!
Mrs. Catherine C, mother of one 4 year-old, Brighton, UK

Eating worries are so stressful, as our first instinct as parents is to nourish our children! Right from the very beginning we worry so much about how we’re going to feed our babies, it’s our main topic of conversation. Then when we wean our babies, people around us offer differing bits of advice, other mothers seem to have it all in the bag and the cycle of guilt causing stress causing problems begins! Food and emotions are so closely linked and we as humans find food a symbol of love in so many ways (boxes of chocolates, nice meal). Children sense this right from the very beginning and soon find that this is something they hold all the power over! Totally separating the emotions from feeding our children is impossible but there are ways we can to a certain degree and subsequently improve our children’s eating drastically!
This ebook has been thoroughly researched in order to bring you a powerful ebook with all the advice you will need to solve your child’s eating problems. It provides you with a wonderful relaxed yet effective philosophy to eating and backs that up with research so you know for a fact that what you’re doing is the right thing! The ebook also explains what exactly a balanced diet is, tells you about the amazingly clear Ask Nanny “P.R.P.R method” and finishes with numerous questions & answers which cover all the main questions parents of children with eating problems ask! If you’re in a situation you’re not happy with and want to improve you’re child’s eating, buy today!

How to discipline successfully... without harming self esteem!

Discipline’s a really hard thing to get right and it’s probably top of the agenda for worries with parents from the toddler years onwards! This ebook is based on knowledge which comes from Norland training, 21 years of childcare, 6 years of parenting consultations, and being a mother too. All advice is opinion at the end of the day, but with Nanny Trudi’s opinion you know it comes from hands on, tried and tested practice with real kids and their parents!

All children need discipline and boundaries, that much is true, but focussing too much on discipline, dominates a child and this is not the aim of most parents. We know that you want a balanced approach, and just how to strike that balance can be a dilemma in itself. Many children’s self esteem has been harmed by being brought up in too strict an environment, by being confused by changing boundaries, or by being allowed to run riot with no boundaries at all.

Everyone talks about consistency being so important and of course we all know that is true, but no-one offers to help you get that consistency! Just how do you remain calm when anger starts to boil, or talk to a child who won’t listen when frustration takes over? What are the secrets to being that calm, collected, consistent role model we’d all like to be? Well this ebook helps you to get closer to that confident parent who can calmly discipline and gives you the tools to improve your child’s behaviour with consistent use of consequences which work! Not only that but How to discipline successfully… without harming self esteem provides explanations for why your child is behaving this way and helps you better troubleshoot future problems! You might be asking…

  • Why do we need discipline at all?
  • Does it matter if my partner is doing things differently?
  • How do I set clear boundaries?
  • What’s the best way to be in control of the situation? And…
  • What are the best consequences to use?

Look no further buy today and you will find the answers to these and more questions!

Common nanny job problems and how to solve them!

Being a nanny for many years, Nanny Trudi has experienced times when problems have inevitably arisen and solutions have had to be found. Nanny circles provide support for each other and it is within this framework that nannies have the opportunity to troubleshoot together to help each other find solutions. But all too often nannies will advice each other to simply leave the job and look elsewhere.

Nannying is a tough job when troubles occur because working so close with parents, ill feeling (whether it is one sided or two, or even three) gets in the way of being happy in the job and the children inevitably suffer. It can be so upsetting for nannies especially live in nannies when you cannot get away from the situation, when tension occurs. Wouldn’t it be nice to know that you could dip in and out of your ebook whenever you need to and find sympathetic solutions which can sensibly resolve matters and provide some insight into the parents reasoning?

Prevention is definitely better than cure and it is for this reason that this ebook tells you how to best avoid any troubles occurring with tips on keeping the lines of communication open! Problems which are dealt with include amongst others, interfering, money troubles, hours, housework, holidays and restrictions.
