Help! My little one's sleep has gone wrong!

A topic that we are contacted about quite regularly – we absolutely expect broken sleep in the first months, and then sleep is really good (whatever that means to us) then it starts to change and feels like it’s all gone wrong...

  1. Don’t panic! - we talk about all the things that could be impacting this and the possible reasons why sleep has changed.
  2. How illness can impact on children’s sleep and how to get back to a routine that suits you with the least amount of upset.
  3. Feeling scared and how this can affect sleep (we have some blogs on how to help with this).
  4. Situations when little ones are disturbed because they are practicing things like crawling, rolling, babbling etc.
  5. How routines (daytime and bedtime) can affect sleep.
  6. Sleep associations – whatever children go to sleep with they will look for it to help settle them back off in the night when they wake up.
  7. Treating it like a puzzle and the importance of taking notes so you can see any patterns.
  8. How nothing is unfixable and everything is sortable (and we are here to help with a Bespoke Family Parent Consultation if you need it!)!
