Sleep is non negotiable in my house. It always has been and always will be.
Does it come without a struggle or fight every night because I’m a Sleep Consultant? DON’T.BE.DAFT!
When I sought some sleep support for my daughter 9 years ago, did I feel guilty about doing it? NO.
Why? Because I was crippled with anxiety, PND and starting with Insomnia. I didn’t know what I was doing or what to do.
Have I ever looked back? Of course not. Was it money well spent? Without a doubt. Is it why I do what I do now and have spent the past 5 years researching, learning and understanding infant sleep. Absolutely!
Unfortunately parent guilt and mum guilt in-particular comes with the territory once you’ve had a baby. You’re dammed if you do and dammed if you don’t, but don’t let other people’s extreme views and opinions stop you from helping your little one sleep better and in turn- you sleeping better.
We all know the benefits of sleep.
If your baby’s sleep situation is no longer working for you and your family, you desperately need change and help, then you need to do what’s right for YOU.
Sleep is my safe space and without it, I quickly go to pieces. If this is you and you’re really struggling due to lack of it, then please don’t suffer in silence. It’s unnecessary, avoidable and YOU CAN help your baby sleep better and change things in a very gentle, responsive and non cry-it-out way to gain results.

Have you ever been asked this question???
If so, what was your answer?
To me, it’s one of those vacuous things people ask or say to new parents without really thinking about how it may make them feel.
There is no such thing as a “good” or “bad” baby. It’s almost as annoying as those smug parents who tell other exhausted parents that their baby is a “good sleeper”.
These were the types of parents I use to give a wide birth to at the baby groups, when I was suffering with PND.
THE THING IS THIS…
Some little ones sleep better than other because they have a different temperament and find sleep easier to achieve.
Our babies sleep has nothing to do with whether they’re naturally good or bad at it or even necessarily what their parents did right or wrongly.
Plenty of research has shown that temperament, personality and biology play a huge factor in whether your little one can master sleep quicker, calmer and with less support and help than others.
A “good baby” is a perception held by our society- that babies should act, sleep and feed in a certain way but remember this…
ALL babies are DIFFERENT, just like adults! Some are more laid back, some need more help and support, some struggle to latch, others walk & talk before some even crawl.
Such is life. It certainly doesn’t mean you’ve done anything wrong.
