The question I am asked most often during discovery calls - "How much crying will be involved Rachael"? An absolutely valid question and one I have answers to. With nearly 6 years of experience behind me in this field of sleep training I have seen it all and supported parents through the tears from both child and parent. 

Of course there is going to be tears and in this podcast I explain more in depth on how much you may experience and how you can handle it and what we can do if you feel it is not all fitting into place. 

Don't be scared of sleep training just because your child may cry, you are teaching your child a new skill, a lifelong skill and you are ensuring your child gets better, healthier sleep that has many benefits for them and as a family. 

If you have any questions about sleep training please feel free to drop me an mail and ask away. (link to email below)

The holidays always bring some disruption to sleep and Christmas holidays is the most disruptive I would say because it is just all to exciting! Family are staying or maybe you have travelled to to see them, cousins are together and movie nights happen and of course...there is the waiting for Santa! But how can we manage sleep around this, what can we do to help stay on track and does it really matter if we don't? 

Listen to this week's podcast as I explain how to manage it all, keep your santa hat on about it all and what to do to manage those hectic moments around sleep and travel.

Like most things practice makes perfect and no less is it true when it comes to sleep training. I know many families have the desire to sleep train and they embark on that journey only to fail because there was no consistency. They may have thought they know what to do because their friend did it and it worked for them or they read an article on google but what was missing here was the true details of sleep training and the bits of information that bring it all together and create that continuity and in turn the results!

Let me explain this consistency a little deeper in today's podcast and what happens when it’s not there.
