Why Sleep Train Your Little One?

For some families, sleep disturbances cause little impact while for others they can be hugely destructive. I have seen marriages fall apart, mothers mistaking sleep deprivation for depression, careers lost and near-fatal accidents. Child development suffers and some children can end up medicated when in fact a behavioural intervention for sleep could have resolved things.

Here is why your whole family needs sleep:

Cognitive Development

Sleep is vital for an infant’s brain development. During sleep, neural pathways are formed and memory consolidation takes place.

Safety

Sleep deprivation can lead to poor concentration and confusion which puts both parent and child safety at greater risk.

Health and wellbeing

Sleep deprivation of both parents and children can lead to poor immune systems and increased illness, increased risk of obesity as well as potential mental health concerns.

Happiness

A well-rested family will feel better, interact and connect better bringing an overall sense of deeper joy and happiness.

The IMPACT of POOR SLEEP

A study at Harvard revealed that children with poor sleep during early childhood are more likely to have problems with attention, emotional control, and peer relationships in their mid-childhood.

Sleep Challenges

I can help you solve any behavioural sleep problem you are experiencing with your child.

Here are some of the most common sleep challenges:

  • Bedtime battles
    Difficulty settling to sleep at bedtime can bring about challenging behaviour but this is often caused by overtiredness. I can help you overcome this problem.
  • Waking at night
    Everyone wakes in the night and we are not trying to stop that. What we are aiming for is the ability for your little one to resettle back to sleep without needing someone or something to do it for them every time.

  • Poor naps
    Short naps, no naps and nap resistance are common challenges. Together we will explore the most suitable approach to help your child get restorative sleep in the optimal sleep intervals.

  • Moving on from co-sleeping
    Co-sleeping is a personal family decision. But at some point, it’s inevitable especially as your little one gets older sleep starts to suffer. Accidental kicks, wriggling, lack of space, overstimulation for your child or simply the temptation to feed from mum all night are just a few reasons parents want to move on. I can teach you how to settle your little one happily in their own sleep space.
  • Night weaning
    Some children only know how to settle with feeding. This can result in needing milk at every waking, not for genuine hunger but because they don’t know how to settle without it. We will make sure all hunger is met along with having a plan for all other waking to help you break the endless night feeding cycle.
  • Early rising
    Starting the day before 6am is brutal for the whole family. Early rising is most certainly one of the hardest elements of sleep training to crack. We will come up with a plan for how to approach this and gradually move these wake-ups to a more human time of day.
