Sleep consultancy
Most parents will have questions about sleep development during their child’s first year. Sometimes, it’s more than just questions – hard nights, exhaustion and difficulties getting their child to sleep can all take parents to their limits during this early stage of the parenting journey.
In a sleep consultancy session, I can provide information on topics such as those mentioned below, and provide families with gentle and child-oriented support to help them get back to more peaceful and relaxing nights.
