I am Mummy to two children born just 20 months apart. After 9 months of pregnancy insomnia and 10 months of very little sleep my husband and I were broken. The long sleepless nights, long napless days and huge amounts of conflicting infant sleep information online took a toll on us and we had to do something about it. We seeked support from a Sleep Consultant recommended by a friend and it was the single most life changing investment we made. Using a Sleep Consultant who could see sleep holistically and give us clarity in a short period of time gave us the energy and drive we needed to go for it.

Sleep training isn’t for everyone, but it certainly spoke to us.

Fast forward a couple of months and with sleep on track for all of us I was pregnant with number 2. We felt so grateful but the fear of sleep deprivation began creeping in. I was determined that this time, things would be different. I trawled through research papers and learnt as much as I could to give myself the knowledge needed to teach lasting foundations from birth.

Both children are happy in their sleep environments and sleep well. We are yet to experience any so called ‘regressions’ and feel confident we made the right decision for our family.

Of course, there are obstacles such as changing sleep environments, teething and illness, but I know they can sleep well and that set backs are temporary.

This is a hugely powerful feeling and one I would like to pass onto families who need it.
