Sleep training
Does your child find it difficult to sleep though the night?
Many children wake frequently throughout the night, leading to tiredness which affects family relationships, and the child's learning and development.
Many parents find working after a broken nights sleep and dealing with a wakeful child one of their greatest challenges. My sleep training supports the child through the transition from wakefulness to sleep in children aged 6 months to 4 years, until they are confident in their own ability to self-soothe, usually after 5 nights.
The success behind getting your infant to settle back to sleep is not as obvious as it may first seem, especially for those children who haven't learned to self soothe. Some babies start to develop this skill at 4 months, but I can assure you many don't! By offering solutions that suit your child's emotional needs and explaining the theory behind my tips and techniques, parents have felt confident when sleep training. I don't use the cry-it-out method but instead a very gentle and reassuring technique with good associations.
2 Hour Video Sleep Consultation and follow up phone support £250

Whether you are dealing with frequent wake ups, unsettled nights or early wakings, this is the self help package for you. I do not encourage you to let your child "cry-it-out", but instead show you how to reduce your support as your child learns to self soothe. You will learn why your child needs their sleep, why they may not be sleeping now and how to build an appropriate routine and with gentle settling techniques.
"With the support offered we managed to stick to the plan and after five days we have a baby who no longer uses a dummy, is night weaned and self settles over night. Nothing short of miraculous!"
