Feeling desperate because your 8-month-old wakes multiple times at night?
Had enough of your toddler taking 3 hours to fall asleep?
When sleep deprived, we are more likely to become:
✓ Over stimulatedÂ
✓ FatiguedÂ
✓ IrritableÂ
✓ ForgetfulÂ
Just as we as adults need our sleep so do our babies… Sleep is vital for the processing of skills and learning and it is well documented that babies who don’t sleep well at night are more susceptible to sensory overload or overstimulation the next day.
Ten signs that your child's routine could use some work:

Introduction to the program and intake form.
Sleep tools
These are the tried and tested tools that I recommend you give your baby, in order for them to sleep well, from hard items to soft items to medications and music. This is the next step to a full night’s sleep.
Nutrition
When your baby wakes at night you may worry that she is hungry. This can lead to unnecessary habits relating to night feeds.
Step 2 is to understand if your baby is hungry and to meet her nutritional needs in a way that does not interfere with sleep
Health
If your baby is not well – with an infection or a more long-term issue such as eczema, she will not sleep well. This step involves ruling out health issues as a cause of sleep problems.
Sleep zone
Choosing a calm and consistent sleep zone is critical in creating optimal sleep habits.
In step 4 you will determine where your baby should be sleeping.
Sensory diet
The sensory information we take in during the day sets our brains up for sleep.
This step will help you to determine if your baby’s sensory diet is setting her up for sleep.
Day sleeps
Day sleep begets night sleep and is critical in the process of getting a full night sleep.
This step will help you to create a day sleep routine and ensure your baby gets the right amount of sleep for optimal night sleep.
Separation strategies
At certain ages, your baby will resist separations and may need a little help to cope with separations. Let’s identify if there are emotional reasons why your little one won’t settle.Â
Soothing and settling
The strategies that precede sleep are not sleep habits but are positive associations that help the brain to release melatonin and drowsy signals to fall asleep.
Step 8 will help you to keep these healthy and not form unnecessary habits.
Bedtime routine
This covers time for bedtime routine and how to establish a perfect bedtime routine. Step 9 will help you set the stage for sleep
Sleep coaching
Finally you are ready to teach your baby to self sooth. This final step is one of coaching your little one and teaching the life skill of self-regulation to sleep.
