How do I get my get baby to sleep through the
night
Are you about to embark on
weaning
Is your toddler a bit “tricky” at mealtimes
 If
you are embarking on a
baby or toddler sleep training programme, starting
your child weaning or do you have a
toddler who is a "fussy eater" These can all seem like daunting tasks.
With so much conflicting information available its
no wonder parents feel confused and frustrated. Much of the baby and toddler sleep advice revolves around timed
routines.
Many people believe that “controlled crying”
or “crying it out” is the only way to retrain a
baby into good sleep habits.
By listening to your problem with a sympathetic
ear we are able to offer reassurance and empathy.
We can then put a
sleep plan of action together for you to follow with your baby.
• Is your baby finding it
difficult to settle to sleep at bedtime
• Has you baby never learned to go to sleep by herself
• Is your baby dummy dependent. Is she waking in the night every
time the dummy falls out of her mouth?
• Does you baby rely on endless props and cues in order to
settle at bedtime
• Are YOU relying on endless props and cues in order to get your
baby to settle at bedtime
• Do you need to hold you baby until she had dropped off
• Are you putting baby to bed already asleep, only to find she
wakes up after 45 minutes.
• Is your baby waking during the night even though she does not
require a feed
• Is your baby demanding endless night feeds and then not
feeding well during the day
• Does your baby have a bad nap routine
• Is your baby’s eczema keeping him awake
• Is your baby waking due to hunger because he is not weaning
onto suitable foods
• Does your baby or toddler wake up endlessly through the night
even though she is tired?
• Does your toddler insist that you sit by his side at bedtime
until he goes to sleep
• Is it taking up to an hour to get your child to settle at
bedtime?
• Is you toddler or child waking during the night and insisting
on sleeping with you
• Is your toddler or child refusing to go to bed and using all
manner of delay tactics.
• Is you toddler refusing food at mealtimes and then failing to
sleep through the night because she is hungry
• Are you exhausted from more broken and sleepless nights than
you care to remember?
• Have you read umpteen books all of them giving conflicting
advice
 We can help you with these common sleeping and
feeding issues and many more. Any baby sleep training programme has to be sustainable
and we believe that by setting parents a series of
steps to follow with realistic goals to aim for,
within
a sensible time limit, can enable them to
regain their confidence and succeed.
As there is a huge link between sleeping and
feeding or eating, some of the advice will be related
to your baby or child's nutritional intake.
Did
you know that some foods that are recommended by
health visitors actually can have a negative
effect on your baby or child's ability to sleep
Many parents really do believe that they are the
only ones experiencing night time sleep problems
or weaning & feeding difficulties.
Remember that some babies and children need a
little extra help to get to sleep independently andr meet the new
challenges ahead of them.
