More About Me
Before working with a sleep consultant ourselves we were so sleep deprived and thought we had tried everything. We were quickly giving up hope of getting our evenings back and a full night's sleep. Our nights consisted of wake ups every 1-2 hours (with the boys waking at different times!) and my days were spent trying to get both boys asleep at the same time, to try to be on somewhat of a similar schedule. Their sleep problems were only exacerbated by reflux and a cow's milk protein allergy. To say my anxiety was high is an understatement!
As soon as we worked with a sleep consultant, everything changed. We got our evenings back, the boys started sleeping through and I felt like a new woman! And from this, my passion to help others in similar situations was born. Helping people to realise they don’t have to be sleep deprived and exhausted, and working with them to get their little one’s sleeping through the night is the best job!
I work with families to create bespoke sleep plans where you have my full support and I can answer all your questions and concerns throughout.
A Bit About Crying
One of the first questions people often ask when discussing sleep training is ‘do I have to leave my baby to cry it out’...my answer is no!
I am not a fan of this method of sleep training - I don’t believe you should just shut the door and leave your baby to cry alone for as long as it takes for them to fall asleep. These methods may work for some, but they are often too tough on all involved!
So will there be any crying involved?
Adults like their sleep environment to be the same every night. We all have our routines and ways we like to sleep. I imagine if I took away your pillow you might protest and be unhappy. Babies are no different and their way of communicating this is usually through a few tears.
So I can’t promise there will be no crying involved, in fact most families will report some crying initially and I know that no one likes to hear their child cry. But I can promise you that I will not ask you to leave your child alone to cry for extended periods. We will develop a plan that allows you to stay close by and comfort and reassure your child at appropriate points that you are comfortable with.
