Baby Sleep Specialist recommendations


Recommended Posts

Hi AlL,


Does anyone have any recommendations for a baby sleep specialist? Looking for a recommendation of someone who has been successful in helping your little one (and you!) sleep through the night and take naps longer than 40mins! Really grateful for anyone who might have made a difference in your lives.


Thank you!

Hello - we?ve used two sleep consultants. The first we used - Linda Elderkin, if you google her her website comes up - was effective with our first born but relied largely on a cry it out approach which we found hard going. However she was extremely responsive and available to us during the two weeks we worked with her. However we weren?t willing to use this approach when our secondlittle one had sleep issues during teething, which meant she couldn?t really help us in this situation. I then used Helen Broadhead from Infant Sleep Solutions to help our baby get back into good habits after a prolonged bout of bad teething. She seemed extremely experienced, she explained the range of approaches to improve sleep and then we chose a pragmatic solution that I felt comfortable with. As well as a schedule for day time and night time she gave us great advice on how to respond when he is crying and how to deal with ups and downs in the process of getting him to sleep better. After 2 weeks we had gone from waking 3-5 times a night and shushing our baby to sleep to him settling well and sleeping through the night most nights. After a month the new routine had really clicked and he was settling beautifully and happily to sleep by himself and sleeping through every night. Good luck!

    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
    • > however I know I will have to prove it and provide a receipt,  both I can't provide. So what leads you to say that the dustmen have done damage to it?
