Under the Wing

I am a qualified sleep consultant, primary school teacher and mum to three pre-schoolers – Tom, Tilly & Ted.

 

I know first-hand how difficult it is to be sleep-deprived, it affects your mood, your emotions, your relationships and your ability to cope with everyday life. It robs you of the happiness that should come with spending time with your children and when you don’t get enough sleep it consumes your every thought.

 

Our eldest son, Tom, had bad reflux and we were advised to feed him around the clock every 90 minutes. For a breastfeeding mother, this was incredibly challenging and at this stage, we weren’t concerned with teaching him the skills of self-settling or trying to get him to link sleep cycles – our only focus was survival and trying to get as much sleep as we could.

 

After a couple of years of poor sleep, we hired a sleep consultant and my only regret was not hiring one sooner. It transformed our lives and I can, hand on my heart, say that it was the best investment we ever made.
