In 2004 when I first started helping babies sleep well there was very little help and very little information on baby sleep. At the time I was working as a nutritional therapist, paediatric nurse in Accident and Emergency as well as delivering first aid and weaning classes. As soon as any parent found out I had been a nanny and maternity nurse the conversation always came round to sleep. Parents were exhausted, the lack of information left them with so many questions unanswered and the only go to for help was their Health Visitor, who usually only offered advice on how to do controlled crying and cry it out, something the parents that approached me wanted to avoid at all costs.
Fast-forward nearly 2 decades and times have massively changed, there is so much information out there. This excess of information often leads to what I can the ‘try everything approach’ to sleep.
You decide that your sleep situation isn’t working for you, your exhausted, don’t have any evenings, can’t get everything done. You need to move forward from rocking or feeding your baby to sleep. What do you do? You ‘try everything’ to achieve this, of course you do – you are desperate.
The ‘try everything’ approach never works. The most important thing for any sleep program to work are the 3 C’s; to be Consistent, Calm and Confident. By swapping and changing, getting upset and not sticking to one thing you are being inconsistent, panicked, and nervous. Exactly the opposite that your baby needs to learn something new.
Over the last two decades I have helped thousands of families sleep well with my kind and gentle way. My approach has become so popular that I’ve moved from solely helping 1:1 to teaching courses to hundreds of parents in one go. You have already taken the most difficult step of looking for help, now let me show you how my CALM (Consistent, Achievable, Loving and Manageable®) steps can guide you through removing the sleep props you and your baby have formed, to get you both sleeping independently. At the end of this process, you could be putting your baby into their cot, saying goodnight and walking out of the room. You will have the time to get things done and have the energy to do them. You might even be able to enjoy an evening out.
You are probably thinking, like many before you, that your baby will be the only one it won’t work for, the one family that my approach fails on. In nearly every Trustpilot review, in many testimonials this exact line is written, followed up by sentences like:
“Wow wow wow what can I say. Hannah’s course was incredible, so kind and gentle. I never left my little boys side until I knew he could fall asleep independently”
“I have gone from feeding to sleep, contact naps, co-sleeping and multiple wakes during the night to putting her into her cot and walking out of the room and she sleeps all night”
You could soon be in the position to write one of these reviews. Starting with the daytimes I’ll talk you through how to get a more predictable day, the steps you need for weaning, helping your little one feed well and eat well. We will also introduce sleep triggers and find one consistent way that everyone can settle your baby to sleep.
Once the daytimes are working, we tackle the night times, using the skills you and your baby have already practiced in the daytime. Finally, we start the actual sleep training. This includes several stages to get you from where you are now, to baby sleeping independently. There will be no leaving baby to cry, you can take this as slowly as you feel comfortable, each stage moving closer to that end point of baby sleeping on their own. Follow the steps and this can work for you, as it has thousands before you.
