Overcoming Sleep Training Fears
If you are feeling nervous about sleep training your child, I completely understand your fear and trepidation! I was in the exact same position a few years ago when I was considering sleep training my firstborn. I must have read hundreds of blog posts and articles on how to get my baby to sleep as well as at least 4 books. Sleep was all I could think about but I just wasn’t getting any. And of course the next thing I knew, the feeds on my socials were flooded with advice from both camps. Each sharing their emotionally driven feelings on the subject rather than sharing evidence based research. Here’s the thing, not everybody needs to sleep train! However, healthy sleep is so important for every member of the family. And I know that I am certainly a better mum when I am getting good sleep. Hopefully these points help you to decide if it’s right for you and your family.
Why Work with a Child Sleep Consultant?
Are you a parent searching for the ever elusive full night’s sleep? Navigating children’s sleep often feels like trying to solve an always changing rubik’s cube. With an ocean of information at our fingertips, it can feel overwhelming and exhausting to even know where to begin and what advice to follow.
Whether you’re a parent to a newborn who refuses to sleep for more than 30 minutes at a time, a toddler who’s fighting bedtime like a mini warrior, or an older child who still struggles to sleep through the night, welcome. I’m a mum to two energetic young boys who each threw me their own unique curveballs when it came to sleep. I know how exhausting it can feel trying to navigate through this haze.
