Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes of course! I especially find working with twins to be super rewarding!

  • No, I use all forms of sleep training, from Cry It Out to gentle sleep training. I only use age appropriate techniques, and consider your parenting style and your child's temperament.

    I provide you with different options for sleep training and support you to feel comfortable and confident with the methods you choose.

  • My methods involve teaching your baby to self-settle (for babies over 4 months).

    I work with you to recognise your baby's existing sleep associations and enable you to comfort your baby in other ways.

  • Sucking is an important reflex for survival as it ensures babies instinctively and immediately seek out breastfeeding shortly after birth. A newborn baby's desire to suck is very strong and not all the sucking your baby tries is related to hunger and wanting to be fed. Sucking when not hungry is often referred to as

    'non-nutritive sucking' and for some babies this can act as an inbuilt coping mechanism for extra comfort.

  • A baby's nap schedule is in a continuous state of change, especially in the early months.

    Your individualised sleep plan will outline what is best for your baby taking into account their age and temperament.

  • Sleep associations are props that your baby needs to fall asleep. Establishing positive sleep associations will become predictable and allow your baby or toddler to understand when its sleep time.

  • The intention of the dream feed is to minimise potential overnight wakings due to hunger.

  • I believe it is really helpful to start setting up good sleep habits from as early on as you can. Some infants as young as 3 months old can sleep for six to eight hours at a stretch. But most babies (70%) do sleep through the night by the time they are 9 months, according to the National Sleep Foundation. Sleeping "through the night" usually means sleeping for 8 - 12 hours straight without needing a night time feed.

  • Studies have shown that babies who have solid food at a young age do not sleep any better than babies who are not given solid foods.
