Postive associations
Sleep is a highly complex hormonal process occurring in the brain – it needs consistent positive associations to aid these hormonal processes
Sleep techniques from a qualified practitioner for a better night’s sleep
Sleep problem? Is it a worry? Sleep can be improved at any age! There is no need to change any aspect of family sleep until you are ready!
Sleep hygiene
Sleep hygiene describes habits and practices which promote better sleep. A calm and consistent bedtime routine is crucial
Sleep teaching
Learning to sleep is a process of normal development and takes practice. In order to learn new techniques to get to sleep, we need consistency, patience and support to encourage our babies to sleep. This is no different to encouraging our babies with other aspects of their development. When paying for a sleep plan you are buying not just knowledge but on-going non-judgemental support and encouragement for you as parents whilst you encourage your child
Newest babies
Our newest babies have different sleep – they are not developmentally capable of the stages of sleep seen in older babies, children and adults. Instead they alternate between active sleep and quiet sleep and will not always fall asleep when tired. Laying your baby down when they give you sleepy cues will help them settle
Waking is normal
All babies, children and adults wake 3-4 times in the second part of the night. This is an evolutionary advantage and we fall asleep quickly often without noticing. Your child will continue to wake but you will not be aware as we can teach them to resettle themselves
Magic wand
Sleep teaching does not come with a magic wand! It takes some time (sometimes 3-5 days, sometimes 3-5 weeks) and can increase parental tiredness at the beginning, BUT it is worth it! Before starting a sleep programme consider ways to increase your family’s sleep right now
