I know exactly how you feel – when I had my little boy, I knew I’d be sleep deprived, but I didn’t realise quite how exhausted I’d be. Eventually my husband and I decided we needed to do something about it, but really didn’t know what the best thing to do was, or how we’d summon up the energy to do it! I avoided “sleep-training” for a long time because I thought it would mean leaving my child to cry, which I wasn’t prepared to do, then a friend recommended the Sleep Nanny method, which is a gentle and gradual approach, designed to maintain a secure attachment between the child and parent…I was sceptical to start with, but we quickly saw results and went from bouncing our little boy to sleep for hours at a time, to all of us getting a good, restful and restorative night’s sleep. Since then I’ve become passionate about children’s sleep, so I trained with the Sleep Nanny and have been helping sleep deprived families ever since!
