Listening to your baby cry goes against all your instincts and so of course you respond but then when you pick them up, you feel guilty as people tell you it will create a bad habit and so you just feel stuck in a loop.
If this wasn’t enough, on top of all of this you are so tired and stressed that you can't think straight anymore!
The parents I see aren’t looking for help because they didn't try hard enough to follow the routine or because their baby was just a "bad" sleeper (there is no such thing!). Actually, it’s the opposite. Most have tried anything and everything!
But repeating what you know works in the short term is not a strategy. You need something more concrete. You need a PLAN! I will tell you the steps that you need to take so that you don't have to second guess yourself, particularly at 4am!

Kate worked with us to achieve better sleep outcomes for our 10 month old. She tailored a plan that suited our family and made sure we were comfortable every step of the way. She was knowledgeable and extremely supportive. We no longer have anxiety about bed time because we have a plan and have seen some very welcome changes in our baby’s sleeping patterns.
Kate was kind, warm and non-judgemental and was open to genuinely understanding what approaches we were comfortable with in supporting our goal of more sleep for our whole family. We saw change very quickly and felt the approach was gentle and sat well with our parenting values. We are all getting much more rest and are all happier!
Change is scary and when you are overwhelmed the idea of somehow making it worse terrifies you. BUT imagine how amazing it will feel when you are all getting a full nights sleep and you feel restored, renewed and like yourself again!
