I’m mum to three, my eldest is five and my youngest is one. They say behind every good sleep consultant is a child that wouldn’t sleep and this couldn’t be more true in my case. I didn’t appreciate it fully at the time, but I was lucky with my first two, from 6 months they both slept through the night and have been amazing sleepers ever since so when I had my daughter I naively thought she’d be the same. She had other ideas!

She turned 6 months… and I was still up a ridiculous amount of times a night! The only way she’d fall asleep was on my boob and she wouldn’t settle with anyone else. I was beyond EXHAUSTED and felt like I couldn’t function properly during the day. The worst part was I felt like I wasn’t being the best mum I could be to my other children and I was consumed with mum guilt.

I spent hours aimlessly scouring the internet reading sleep information but to be honest I ended up feeling even more confused and overwhelmed. I felt like we tried everything and nothing was working so that’s when we decided to seek professional advice from a sleep consultant. And that’s when everything changed...

My daughter now sleeps 11-12 hour stretches at night, my husband can settle her, naps are more predictable and the best bit is, I feel like me again. I’m able to thrive and be the best mama I can.

I was so blown away by how our sleep consultant managed to change our lives (sounds dramatic but it’s true) in a matter of weeks, that I was inspired to begin my own journey to helping families improve their sleep. And so ‘Hey Sleepy Mama’ was born.
