FAQs

Sleep training is actually the last thing I look at. When a baby is struggling to fall or stay asleep, there are almost always underlying factors at play. Things like routine, sleep pressure, nutrition, environment, and overstimulation all have a huge impact on sleep. If these aren’t addressed first, no method will work properly and it’s not fair on your baby to expect them to settle when the foundations aren’t there. This is where most parents go wrong. They jump straight to a method without fixing what’s actually driving the waking and things stay hard! Once those foundations are in place, we then look at sleep training if it’s needed. I take a completely individualised approach. I use a range of evidence-based methods and always consider your preferences and comfort level as a parent. That said, I will be honest with you. If your baby’s temperament isn’t suited to a particular approach, I won’t recommend it. Pushing a method that doesn’t align with your baby often leads to more distress and slower progress, and that’s not something I’m comfortable with. Every plan I create is tailored, thoughtful, and built around your baby’s needs, your parenting style, and what will actually work in real life.
