"Jenny is amazing. Her holistic approach is both empowering and comforting, and ultimately, gets results without neglecting your or your little ones needs." Di
Are you an exhausted parent of a breastfeeding toddler, struggling to find the balance between maintaining the closeness breastfeeding provides and the need for more rest, or even just a few moments to yourself?
I specialise in supporting parents who love the connection breastfeeding creates but feel overwhelmed by the frequent night wakings and constant feeding requests. Through gentle sleep coaching, parents move from feeling toughed out and drained into a more balanced breastfeeding journey, where they enjoy breastfeeding their toddler and feel more confident, equipped with new tools to manage their enthusiastic feeder.
As a Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and Holistic Sleep Coach, I offer gentle sleep and parenting strategies that align with your breastfeeding and sleep goals, empowering you to get more rest while maintaining your breastfeeding relationship.
My philosophy when supporting parents with their little ones' sleep is rooted in:
• Gentle Sleep Strategies: As a sleep consultant, I promote family-centred, gentle strategies that are age and developmentally appropriate. All sleep interventions prioritise your child's attachment and maintain your connection to your child through responsive parenting. I will never ask you to leave your child unsupported. Changes can be made in small steps, making them easier for your little one to adjust to and minimising tears. Every sleep plan is unique because each child's needs and temperament are different; what works for one family may not work for another.
• Comprehensive Assessments: I don't just look at sleep in isolation. My assessments delve deep into your family's unique sleep patterns, diet, emotional support needs, development, and behaviour management. This holistic perspective ensures that our strategies are tailor-made for your family.
• Empowerment: As a parent, you have an innate understanding of your child. While I'm here to provide guidance, ultimately, you're in control. With my support, you will receive a personalised sleep plan that aligns with your parenting style and your child's developmental stage.
• Fun: Children understand the world through play, so expect to do lots of teddy bears bedtimes! Also, silly time before the bedtime routine is a wonderful way for you all to enjoy each other and build that connection.
• Understanding your goals: Central to my philosophy is the understanding that your sleep goals are unique. These goals may include fewer night wake-ups, better naps, or night weaning. I will present a variety of different strategies to help you achieve your goal, allowing you to choose the one that suits your child best. If you are a breastfeeding parent, your feeding goals will be prioritised and integrated into a cohesive feeding and sleep plan.
• Ongoing support: With the 2 and 4 week sleep support packages, you have the option of daily support. This enables you to ask questions, refine the plan as the weeks progress, and receive advice on how to manage sleep situations as they evolve throughout the day
Whether you're a new parent seeking guidance on breastfeeding or a tired parent looking for gentle sleep solutions, I'm here to support you.
