Sleep support

Do you dream of a time when your baby will sleep through the night? Is your baby crying inconsolably? Waking up every two hours overnight? Crying straight away when you place him/her in their Moses basket? You feed them and they take an hour of rocking, shushing or cluster feeding to settle back? During the day they are unhappy because they are overtired? Worried your baby is sleeping too much or not enough? Or you just want to get 12hrs at night of unbroken rest for you and your partner? 

Whatever your concerns are surrounding your baby's sleep I am here to help. The aim is to get your baby settling to sleep happily without a fuss, sleeping the right amount each day and night, and achieving this without them developing any negative sleep associations that will be hard to manage as they grow into toddlers. Sleep can be surprisingly hard for babies and being overly tired certainly does not mean they will sleep more or better. If you have any concerns regarding your baby’s sleep, whether at night time or during daytime napping, do get in touch. 

From my experience, every time a family contacts me because their baby is waking up frequently overnight, it’s partly caused by the baby’s daily routine. Even if it’s an overnight problem, once we tweak the daytime routine, there is an improvement to the night time and daily naps. This, combined with some practical advice around feeding, settling and setting up the right environment can go a long way to getting your baby sleeping long stretches at night, and from around three months old, getting them consistently sleeping through the night for 12 hours in one stretch. Your baby will be happier and better rested and so will you. 

Many clients I have worked with have found it transformational to be able to put their three or four month old baby down awake at 7pm, walk out, and watch them drift off on the monitor until 7am the next morning. This is not as hard to achieve as you might think and will lead to a much better rested and happier baby.
