As a paediatric neurologist, I knew that sleep was vital for a baby’s health, emotional well-being, and development. As a first-time mum, however, I was faced with a vicious cycle of hourly wake-ups overnight, and cat-napping during the day for my six-month-old little boy. I never thought I would need the help of a newborn sleep consultant Australia.
Coming from a scientific background, I researched the spectrum of sleep training techniques, in a desperate attempt to stop the endless process of feeding and rocking to sleep. What was clear was that there was no good evidence that sleep training in itself was harmful to the psychological health of my little man, either in the short or long term. What was abundantly clear was that months of broken sleep and lack of a good sleep structure would be significantly detrimental to his health and well-being and would cause problems with sleep well into late childhood.
I approached Jen because of her unique combination of years of hands-on experience as a newborn sleep consultant Australia, the technical know-how to make sleep training work, and her attention to detail. I booked Jen for the three-night package which included her working in the home for the first three tough nights of self-settling, and three weeks of daily support to address issues in real time. She always kept our baby’s needs, his temperament, and our parenting philosophy at the centre of her sleep plan. Her focus was not just on getting him to sleep, but on how to provide a healthy structure that promoted all the components of sleep. This personalised and holistic approach led to our little boy sleeping through the night by day 3.
As a mother, I am thankful to have my little boy sleeping through the night without tears or tantrums. As a Paediatrician, I’m amazed at the developmental leaps he has made since our time with Jen, all because he has a rested mind and body. I cannot thank her enough. She’s truly a reliable newborn baby sleep consultant in Australia.
