"Amazing sleep fairy,

wish I'd found you sooner, cannot thank you enough!"

From one Mummy to another...

I honestly thought I would breeze into motherhood, I’d been practicing this job for over 15 years, I’d been in sole care of over twenty five babies, spent weeks staying overnight with newborn’s in the same room as me, I was a trained paediatric nurse and here I was with my new baby and feeling completely overwhelmed with emotions.

I don’t think anyone can prepare you for those first few days with your baby, maybe that’s why no one tells you how it may feel and just focuses on the joy and moments of pure love. No one tells you that you’ll cry because your partner shaves off his beard, I think my exact words were “how can you do that when everything else is changing?”, or that you’ll break down crying and shout “Now? Why now, why on earth do you need to mow the lawn right now?” when all my husband needed was 20 minutes away from his hormone imbalanced, sleep deprived wife.

Those first few days do pass quickly, and you absolutely look back with fond memories, you will remember those special first few weeks with your baby forever. Unfortunately, I don’t have a magic wand to rid your body of hormones, but what I can offer are solutions to the constant questioning of what you’re doing, the anxiety that being a parent brings and the exhaustion that goes hand in hand with a new baby.

My support and information will show you how to teach your baby to sleep well, not only that I hope that I can support you through your whole parenting journey and ensure that it is a relaxed anxious free time for you. There are so many things that melt away when exhaustion is eased and you feel confident. The anxiety is turned into excitement, the questions become options, and you are able to enjoy all those precious moments with your baby or toddler.

Introducing Hannah Love

I’ve spent the last 25 years helping families with their babies and children.

In my twenties I completed three university courses – in Paediatric Nursing, Nutritional Therapy and Cranial Sacral Therapy, whilst travelling the world nannying for pro golfers. I was also a Private Nurse for a family with 9 children. When nannying I was a part of every family I worked for – this is where I learnt to juggle family life, travelling, cooking, cleaning, doing admin and basically running the households I worked for.

In my thirties I raised my own 3 children (Oliver born in 2008, Ella in 2012 and Henry in 2015), built a house, and founded and grew the Yummy Baby business. We also put aside plenty of time for fun – as a family we love travelling, festivals and our favourite weekends away: camping!

Through Yummy Baby and my new venture, Sleep Well with Hannah, I’ve brought together all my experience and training to help hundreds of other families learn to juggle family life and, most importantly, sleep well.

I'm more than a sleep trainer

I see myself as more than a sleep trainer – my deep knowledge in babies and children is what makes families feel confident in my hands, and is what makes my programmes, talks and courses work.

Through my CALM (Consistent, Achievable, Loving, Manageable^®) approach to parenting I not only teach parents how to manage their baby’s feeding, weaning, nutrition, behaviour, and my most popular subject – sleep – I also teach confidence and how to enjoy juggling life with a baby. My greatest achievement is bringing many families out of dark, sleepless places to enjoying day to day life with their happy, sleeping baby.

I firmly believe that each family is individual and so is each baby. I’m not here to tell you how to raise your family, but to support you to find a solution if what you are doing isn’t working for you right now. My CALM, practical and effective approach has ensured that families recommend me all over the world and have come back for their second and third babies (even before they are born)!

Happiest when I'm helping others

I am at my happiest when I am helping others enjoy family life as much as I do. Together with my husband of nearly 15 years, Daryl, we are busy – but make time for lots of fun. All of our children went to their first festivals, holidays and camping trips before their 6 month birthdays. Another great passion is cooking food (and growing and eating it too!). I love entertaining friends, with happy children running around our garden. In fact, there isn’t often a child (or adult) that has come to our busy house who doesn’t resist going home!

I now help parents via my Sleep Solutions, Parenting Courses, and Free Community.
