Sleep and Attachment Support
(Sleep without Sleep Training)


How is your baby sleeping?
Bringing baby home can feel daunting. They are feeding constantly and will barely let you put them down. Then as they grow you feel like they are waking way too often over night, or their naps are all over the place. Social media has told you your baby is broken and should be doing xyz, while they are doing abc. This can be very stressful.
Then as baby gets even older, jumping into the toddler years, the battle for sleep ensues and you are beyond exhausted. You're going back to work and they've started daycare. Any good sleep routine they had is back to being a mess.
I get it. I've been through this three times with my kids. I thought I would never sleep again. My partner was also affected by our child's sleep issues and when we got my son sorted, we had another baby and their sleep affected everyone, including my older child. You wonder why we had a third...LOL
You are not alone!
When you are up with your baby for the 10th time overnight, know that you are one of thousands going through the same situation. But I got you.
When baby doesn't sleep well, it can affect the entire family, it isn't just you that needs support. I will help you find sleep solutions that will benefit the whole family and get everyone more sleep.
How Can I Help?
Through a combination of education about the biological norms of sleep, your personal sleep goals and techniques to foster longer less disturbed sleep we can help you try to meet those goals, all while preserving breastfeeding and increasing attachment with your baby.
This is not Sleep Training. Sleep Training is, for the most part, behaviour modification and getting your baby to go against their biological instincts and development. Sleep Training is quick and often harsh. With me, we will look at your whole family and what is going on with baby developmentally and make adjustments to help everyone.
Be aware though, this is not a quick fix. It can take two to three weeks to feel successful. Plus, depending on your baby and their age, I can't guarantee they will sleep through the night, every night. Blips happen, changes in your daily situations happen, illness, life, it all happens. I will give you the tools to ride out those anomalies and better understand your baby as they grow and their sleep needs evolve.
