A gentle alternative to sleep training
Sleep Consultations
I am a certified baby and child sleep consultant trained by 'The London School of Childcare Studies' (Level 5 OCN) and Lyndsey Hookway's holistic sleep mini course. I offer a gentle alternative to traditional sleep training, which quite often involves cry it out or controlled crying. Children that are left to cry on their own don't learn to settle themselves, they just learn that no one will come and be responsive to their needs, this is known as 'learned helplessness'. I think this is really sad and unnecessary. For example a child that is missing protein from their diet and wakes numerous times in the night to drink large volumes of milk, if left to cry probably won't go to sleep for a long time because they have a genuine need of hunger. They may eventually fall asleep exhausted from crying, but it will not solve the problem of needing to add more protein to their diet and gradually reduce the milk at night.
Because of this I have a family centred holistic approach and use gentle methods that do not involve leaving your child to cry, but gradually work towards making positive changes whilst looking for the cause of your child's sleep issues.
Whist working with me I can offer you my knowledge, encouragement, support and reassurance to work towards your sleep goals.
I am based in Hertfordshire but support families all over the U.K and Europe.
I try to keep my prices reasonable, so I can help as many families as possible.
I look forward to chatting to you soon, Tami
