Understanding normal sleep and why infants sleep differently to adults
Amy Shackleton
Welcome
Parents are describing more tiredness than ever before but often feel conflicted when reaching out for help with sleep. New parents are dealing with information overload, coupled with a lack of time and traditional parenting support networks. This is where holistic sleep coaching comes in.
There are many choices of strategy, countless books, websites and many friends and relatives offering advice (“sleep when your baby sleeps”, “get an early night” and “forget the housework”) that is not always practical and it is difficult to know where to start.
My holistic approach looks at the big picture. I recognise that babies are usually completely normal but that their needs are not only physical - I consider their psychological and emotional needs too.

testimonials
I feel so lucky to have had Amy’s support in the early days with a new baby. Her guidance not just on sleep but all aspects of being a new parent was fantastic. I found the early days overwhelming but Amy’s support definitely made me feel more confident. She gave me extra tips on essential items to buy as well as knowing what I didn’t need, travelling with a little one and so much more. Amy also has a network of other professionals and gave me a brilliant referral when feeding issues arose.
