If your spending hours each night coaxing your baby back to sleep it might be time to stop fighting and take a look at the bigger picture.

It is normal for babies to wake during the night and for them to need help and support getting back to sleep but how often they are waking and how long they are awake for is the important part.

Taking 15 mins to fall asleep and waking every few hours for a feed or cuddle but settling back to sleep within 10 minutes is likely developmentally normal and if it feels manageable then there's no need to try and fix it.

On the other hand, taking 2+ hours to go to sleep at bedtime, waking hourly, up for 90 mins in the middle of the night, starting the day at 4.50 am. This type of broken sleep is what leaves parents feeling unable to cope but the good news is, it's more likely to be due to factors we can control. Things like how tired they are (do they have enough sleep pressure), are they getting sufficient time to wind down in order to feel relaxed enough to fall asleep? Are they hungry, cold, being disturbed by noise, light or another external factor?

Chances are you don't need to overhaul your entire routine, often you just need to make some small tweaks to work with your babies natural sleep system rather than fighting against it.

If you need a little guidance to figure out what might be causing your little ones wakes comment SLEEP and I'll send you my free night wakes guide or DM to book in for a 45 min 1:1 Wee Sleep Sorter consultation.

The recent BBC investigation has highlighted a concern I’ve had for a long time: sleep support is crying out for regulation.

Right now, anyone can call themselves a sleep consultant, coach, expert or therapist. There’s no governing body, no formal regulation, and no minimum standard of training or qualifications required.

It’s a rapidly growing field, and there are many brilliant professionals doing valuable work. Families do need support with sleep. But when we’re working with vulnerable, sleep-deprived parents and giving advice about babies and children, it’s concerning that there’s so little accountability or safeguarding in place.

As a registered nurse of 17 years, with a background in clinical standards, safeguarding and governance, I am acutely aware of the importance of evidence-based practice and patient safety being at the forefront of everything I do.

I fully support the calls from charity organisations for greater regulation within the sleep industry. Sleep is a fundamental part of health and wellbeing and it deserves to be treated as an essential support service, but it must be delivered safely and responsibly.

My biggest concern is that parents may start to feel that they cannot trust the advice they are being given. Support should feel reassuring, not confusing or conflicting.

If you are looking for help, please don’t be afraid to ask questions. Check qualifications and experience, read reviews, and have a conversation before committing. Ask how someone works, what guidance they follow, and what kind of advice they give. There are excellent, evidence-based resources available, so if something doesn’t align with safe sleep guidance, that should be a clear red flag.

If your little ones sleep has been challenging lately my wee sleep sorter consultation could be the thing you need to sort it out.

A 1:1 45 min video call consultation to troubleshoot your baby / toddlers sleep.

Whether you are struggling with:

✨ Long drawn out bedtimes
✨ Waking in the night
✨ Co-sleeping against your will
✨ Early rising
✨ Non existent naps
✨ All of the above

You don't have to struggle on...often small changes can make a big difference

It can be hard to work out what's going wrong when you are in the thick of it and the temptation to try a bit of everything in the hope something sticks often backfires when you can no longer figure out what worked and what didn't.

That's where I come in...I'll review what you are doing currently and give you guidance and a plan for moving forward.

No more guessing, just clear evidence based guidance that is age appropriate and tailored to your child and their needs.

£60 per session. Daytime and evening availability. DM to book.

I get this seems like a good idea in theory

There are some occasions when adjusting a little ones bedtime to make it a bit later is necessary to ensure they have adequate sleep pressure.

However, if you have a child that doesn't sleep particularly well and tends to fight bedtime then you need to look at the whole picture. Figure out their sleep needs, ensure they have a nurturing wind down routine and their environment is optimised for sleep.

Keeping a child that is already too tired up even later is only going to worsen the problem.

If you need some help figuring out what your child needs my 45 min trouble shooting sleep sorter consultations help you to do just that. Comment "SLEEP SORTER" and I'll send you the details.

When you book sleep support, we take the time to gather information on the whole picture.

What does morning look like?

Is your little one a high or low sleep needs baby?

Is there an obvious cause of their wake ups e.g hunger, cold, pain, lost dummy, noise.

What is their temperament like?

Are they getting sufficient time to wind down before bed?

Are naps evenly balanced in the day?

If you've tried all the things and still have no idea what to do next get in touch at Jen@weesleepyones.com or you can book in for a free call to discuss support at my website Https://www.weesleepyones.com
