What we specialise in
Sleep Consulting
Believe it or not, around 30% of children will develop behavioural sleep problems. I’ve worked with babies and exasperated parents facing a range of sleep challenges both intrinsic (nature) and extrinsic (nurture). And in my experience, even if you’ve tried ‘everything’, these sleep problems can be quickly and easily resolved. You just need the right support, strategy and confidence to trust in the process. Some of the sleep problems I regularly help with include: Sleep onset association – aka trouble falling asleep The inability to fall asleep without someone or something (e.g. patting, rocking, holding, co-sleeping, nursing, feeding, sucking on a dummy, watching TV). Sleep maintenance difficulties – aka trouble staying asleep Similar to sleep onset association but the infant or child wakes in the night requiring someone or something to fall back asleep, e.g. a bottle or dummy. Sleep anxiety/fears The inability to fall asleep or stay asleep alone yet sleeps well if a parent/adult is present (comes with complaints of insomnia, fears and other worries). Parasomnias – aka unwanted experiences during the sleep/wake cycle Unexplained crying, screaming, distress, talking, moving, walking, banging or hitting in the night or upon waking (includes sleep terrors, confusional arousals, nightmares, sleep walking, sleep talking and repetitive movement). Inappropriate sleep etiquette – aka unwanted sleep behaviours Includes not going to bed, not staying in bed, late bed time, early morning waking, inappropriate bedtime requests (e.g. food or drink) as well as talking, singing or playing instead of sleeping. If the sleep issue your little one is having isn’t in this list, don’t worry. I can help! Whatever behavioural sleep problem your little one’s facing, I’ll create an easy-to-follow personalised sleep plan with action steps and troubleshooting tips that take out the guesswork. So you and your baby can get the sleep you’ve been dreaming of and wake up refreshed to tackle the day.
Lactation & Feeding Consulting (IBCLC)
Breastfeeding may be natural but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. Nursing a newborn is relentless so if you’re struggling, it can really take its toll. The good news is, a skilled lactation consultant can help you find your rhythm so you and baby both get the best from the experience. If feeding is getting stressful, it’s time to get some help. I can support you with Breastfeeding premature babies or multiple infants Tongue tie, or post tongue tie rehabilitation Effective latching and positioning at the breast Breastfeeding adopted or surrogate infants Breastfeeding after breast surgery Building, boosting and or maintaining milk supply Sore/cracked nipples, ductal thrush, blocked ducts or mastitis Nipple shields and supply lines Vasospasim Expressing and storing breastmilk Weaning from breast to bottle naturally Ways to stop lactation Supplemental feeding methods (Bottle, cup, syringe) Soothing infants with excessive crying or colic symptoms Understanding and managing reflux (physiological, Gastro Osophageal Reflux Disease GORD and silent reflux) Any other breastfeeding or related problem or concern.
