Naps are a massive part of your child's life in the first 3 years. Over the course of these years that do go fast (trust me!) their day time sleep changes A LOT and knowing the signs to when their day time naps need transitioning is a huge part of the night time sleep puzzle. 

Today I am talking about the 3 - 2 nap transition which usually occurs somewhere between the age of 7 - 9 months but I have seen some babies transition as early as 6 months and some are till holding onto that 3rd nap of the day until 9 or even 10 months!

Today I am talking about the importance of bath time in the bed time routine, why it is best to include bath time before bed (clue it is a little science based..) my tips on bath time safety and of course some playful ideas to help those who find bath time a little bit of a struggle...

Part 2 is here of my mini series where we hear from Mum's in their own words as to why they reached out and hired a sleep consultant. 

They had done the googling and read the books and asked friends yet sleep was still not great. 

They explain their "why" and their process in the sleep teaching journey!

Many parents seek help in hiring a sleep consultant and others are just not sure about it due to cost and what others may think, perhaps they feel they will be judged or not supported. Perhaps you or they feel you can learn it all from a book or Dr. Google! 

Today we hear from a handful of my previous amazing Mum's that I have had the privilege to work closely with to help their child and in turn the family sleep better and reach those sleep goals they aspired to. 

They talk about the reasons they decided to hire a sleep consultant, the journey itself and how they feel at the end after reaching their sleep goals. 

I am extremely grateful for these mum's who took part in today's podcast, they know who they are and I hope you all enjoy listening to their stories!

There are many reasons why sleep training may not work and in todays BONUS episode I wanted to raise awareness around one issue that will impact on sleep training and it NOT WORKING. 

It is true story, and something that is not obvious to many. I wanted to tell you this story, to make you aware and give you some food for thought. 

SPOILER ALERT...This family had previously worked with 2 sleep consultants who completely missed the signs...the very clear and obvious signs....
