I founded The Baby Sleep Doc after struggling with my own daughter’s sleep and wanting to have a trustworthy, reliable source to help me.

Initially I struggled to put my daughter down to sleep at all, she would immediately wake unless she was on me. I expected this with the fourth trimester but as she got older we continued to struggle to put her down and would have to rock her to sleep. She did all her naps in a carrier. She had cow’s milk allergy and tongue tie which affected her sleep. Once we had overcome this, things got a bit better but she was still very reliant on us to help her sleep. My husband and I were like passing ships taking shifts with her and I didn’t have the energy to do anything in the day. We were all exhausted and I needed a solution.

I started researching sleep training. The word ‘training’ sounds a bit scary but actually it’s just about helping your little one learn a skill when given the optimum conditions to try it. That’s why it’s important to make sure the sleep environment is right and baby is not too under tired or overtired. Gradually I was able to teach my daughter how to sleep and our lives have been so much better for it!

Looking forward to hearing from you,
