It is that time of year again. None of us are exe It is that time of year again.

None of us are exempt, age does not limit you. My VA Jess knows that better than anyone as does one of my longest and oldest friends @amirah_riley 

Both had breast cancer in their early 30s and thanks to life changing and amazing treatment they are here to tell us all how important it is to check yourself frequently. 

Every year for 3 years I have donated 10% of my earnings to Cancer Research in October and here we are again! 

So to anyone who books us- thank you for contributing this month! You are donating to Cancer Research here too!

This is not a story of a terrible sleeper transfor This is not a story of a terrible sleeper transformed. It is a tale of unsustainable sleep patterns and schedules contributing to the decline of maternal mental health for @escapadesofnova. Her being let down by all the systems and institutions around her, and poorly qualified sleep consultants too. 

By doing nothing but looking at Austin's own news we transformed their lives. We have navigated long distance travel and their nursery sabotaging sleep, and our final challenge will be a drop to one nap! The best thing about this package is I have been able to do all of this. It is such a privilege! 

Motherhood can be really lonely, the idea that I have made this less so for Austin's mum is truly amazing. 

Keep sleeping as you always do Austin!

VOLUME UP! I am ALWAYS here for criticising sleep VOLUME UP! I am ALWAYS here for criticising sleep consultants for their shoddy knowledge and advice. Hey I was heavily involved with the BBC for a reason. 

But to have lots of Health Visitors point fingers at us when they are out there on the front line, often the only port of call for vulnerable mothers giving this kind of advice, is unacceptable. 

This advice is all unhinged, all inappropriate and sort of makes a mockery of "regulation". I will forever say this, but poor mums. Every time poor mums. It is an absolute cesspit of misinformation and judgment out there.

Enjoy my poignant lyrics 😅 and imagery 😅😅

Nooooooooooo I hate it so so much! I hate it for Nooooooooooo

I hate it so so much! I hate it for every parent in the land. I have tried to stop the clock change but the petition wasn't allowed. It is so frustrating. 

Share this far and wide with any parent friends. We are all in this one together. 

Prepare weekly or leave it until the night before and take the risk! But it really is a risk!

THE RULES. 1)I need age of your baby 2) I need to THE RULES.
1)I need age of your baby

2) I need to know if they have a dummy 

3)I need to know how they fall asleep- assisted or independently. 

4)I will not tell you how to sleep train/ get your baby to independently sleep. So please don't ask how- I won't do this without data. 

5)Please don’t tone police me otherwise you will be removed from my page. I am answering hundreds and hundreds of questions on top of working with all my paying clients! So if the answer is blunt, understand that is why. 

6) If I keep getting asked the same question I will refer you to my stories or another comment where I have answered. It isn’t because I don’t want to answer you! But I am one human with limits in my ability to repeat an answer!

Otherwise, please ask away- I LOVE HELPING, I really do! If I do help you can always buy me a coffee the link is in the bio! Muchos appreciated.

The most brazen and persistent lie in the industry The most brazen and persistent lie in the industry is that overtiredness causes early rises. That it causes naughty old Cortisol to rise early ending the night earlier than it should. 

It results in early bedtimes, more day sleep and seriously stressed out parents. 

If I could I would destroy the word and all the fear that comes with the word. 

If you hear or see people saying it. Just challenge them every single time.

Fight the nonsense!

When fellow research geek Alex @lightzzz.out messa When fellow research geek Alex @lightzzz.out messaged me at 9.30pm about a new paper she was reading that I was 15 pages deep into, we knew we had to collaborate our thoughts over the piece of so called breaking news "research". 

It is just one of the many times where we are left saying- not all research is equal. And as per usual even if it was wonderful, it doesn't do what people claim it does.

Always ask yourself what is the intention of someone promoting a piece of tiny research? What do they want from me? 

And in this case you will see what we think they want from you!

Twins are brutal! When you have an older child and Twins are brutal! When you have an older child and then twins, one of whom had terrible reflux oh AND you are a single mum, it is simply inexplicable. 

@lalaaalove_x was broken. She had hit rock bottom and was struggling to see her way up. She is getting up now and that is the best feeling for me ever. 

Atlas and Eden's sleep is not absolutely immaculate but it is unrecognisable. No more split nights, not more screaming all night. Now they are tired when they go to bed- they sleep! 

And she can not breathe! 

GO ATLAS AND EDEN!

There is this perception that sleep trainers are t There is this perception that sleep trainers are these evil predators forcing every baby into cry-it-out or in my case controlled crying. 

But that couldn't be further from the truth. There are 5 kind of babies who really will never have sleep training recommended to them by me and they are in this carousel. 

Often parents will say, I'm not sure this is right for my baby, if they are no longer newborn and they are healthy and well, the real question is, if sleep training is right for the parent. And if it isn't, just don't!

So here is the deal!

Toddlers are fun (mad, nuts, cocoloco!)

These bamboozling tables are everything that is wr These bamboozling tables are everything that is wrong with the sleep industry.
1) It assumes all children need the same input and output.
2) It assumes all children have the same sleep need.
3) It is so damn confusing deliberately so that when it doesn't work you question your own reading rather than the source itself. 
4) the cynic in me also believes these serve to lead you up the garden path so you have to pay for 1-2-1 support.

BE GONE WITH YOU RUBBISH NAP MATHS

You guys helped fill the empty pages yesterday and You guys helped fill the empty pages yesterday and here we have it the first edition of my sleep coach directory. In the end my criteria was someone had to be nominated by 2 coaches that I trust to make it on here. I then just did a double check that there was no blatant junk in their tool box- but if I missed any- I apologise. 

I want to caveat this with I'm sure there are other amazing coaches missed here. This is not exhaustive. I'm sure there are also going to be people who look and find names of coaches they don't like. That is the beauty of this world we don't have to like everyone. 

I haven't put myself in there because it's MY directory  but thank you so much for everyone who tagged me. I know I am Marmite, I know I may not be right for you. So hopefully you can find your person here. 

I haven't listed whether a coach is holistic/gentle or sleep trainer. I don't think that is how the industry is divided anymore. I think it is the ethical vs unethical. Those who will be unapologetically themselves vs those willing to lie to sell their services. Those who do honest work vs those who rely on giving influencers freebies to try and maintain credibility. The latter in each of these pairs shouldn't appear here. 

Hope it helps!

Ruari you terrific toddler, super star sleeper. Y Ruari you terrific toddler, super star sleeper.

Your actual sleep was never really an issue it was just the need for control around naps and presence of your mum @jessmacdonaldx vs anyone else. Which is what we see so often when toddlers face big change- they aim to control aspects when everything else feels different. 

I love this Star of the Week as it isn't about getting more sleep or teaching him to sleep it is about building confidence for Ruari and the family to gain back predictability. 

Keep napping (in your cot please!)

I often get asked about changing sleep needs with I often get asked about changing sleep needs with the focus often being about it falling with age, but here is some more positive news. 

There are times when it can grow or at least feel like it has increased. Remember that it may also be temporary and you will have to be ready to reduce if the split nights or early rises creep in! 

I truly think knowing the sleep need is the key to sleep success!

If you do feel triggered by this and think this is If you do feel triggered by this and think this is about you- it very likely is.

Who cares what anyone else is or isn't doing.
It doesn't impact you. 

If someone wants to make a change they have every right to make the change. It absolutely doesn't require you shaming them, judging them or your faux concern for their choices.

Please and thanks!

Cleo is genuinely a ray of joy! What a totally c Cleo is genuinely a ray of joy! 

What a totally chillaxed girly! Without much protest at all she went from full time co-sleeping to full time cot-sleeping. 

She is one of three children so she is a passenger for the nap life! Again because she is so chilled it works! 

@leaxrose19 expected it to be fairly easy, the time was right and she knew Cleo was so easy going but even she was shocked by the speed of change. 

She coslept until it stopped working for her family and sleep trained to get the fast result for Cleo. It is often positioned as you can't want both. This is proof that you can have one thing and then want change!

Keep sleeping Cleo!
