Parenting can be really tricky if you and your family aren't getting enough sleep. Read our top tips and find out about our workshops that might help you and your little ones get more rest.
Sleep support for under 1s
It's normal for babies to wake up lots through the night for fresh nappies, milk, cuddles and reassurance. Some babies sleep through earlier than others, but if you have any concerns or want some advice speak to your health visitor on 0191 282 3319 who can offer you one to one support.
You might also want to visit Basis, baby sleep info source to find out more about normal sleep for babies. You might also find the coping with crying page useful.
Our Sleep Workshops (Children age 1 to 19)
If sleep is a difficult issue in your house, you might find our workshop helpful.
Sleep issues can include;
- Difficulties getting to sleep at night
- Difficulties following a routine at night
- Waking throughout the night
- Not able to self-settle
- Not feeling ‘tired’
- Difficulties managing behaviour impacting on sleep
- Anxiety
- Medical conditions impacting sleep
- Challenging behaviours
Our workshops are a safe environment to discuss your own personal ‘sleep issues’ with experienced practitioners who don't judge! You'll get tips and advice to support you to make changes in our fun, welcoming and relaxing session. We don't promote leaving your child to cry.
