Welcome to Nurturing Sleep!
Hello, I'm Ann Caird,
Baby Sleep Consultant and
Happiest Baby Educator
- Night wakings and never ending feeding to sleep?
- Feeling isolated, lonely, and unsure of how to cope any more?
Improve your baby's sleep
the nurturing way!
Sleep habits affect all aspects of a child’s development and quality of life – from learning, health, growth, concentration and emotions. Consistent lack of restful sleep can cause sleep deprivation and consequently, fatigue, inability to fall asleep and stay asleep, therefore a cycle of sleep deprivation manifests itself. Further, adults become sleep deprived, which causes increased stress.
At Nurturing Sleep, I believe in applying a responsive and nurturing approach to baby and child sleep problems. Central to my work is consideration of the child’s emotional wellbeing and the parent-child attachment relationship. I don’t use cry-it-out or controlled crying techniques; my emphasis is on nurturing routines and techniques that holistically meet the child or baby’s emotional needs for comfort and security at sleep times.
When working with families my aim is to empower parents;
I help them understand the underlying roots of the sleeping issues, and provide them with the tools they need to improve their child's sleep and promote and support healthy sleep habits.
Each individual family, child and baby are considered as unique - my techniques consider individual parenting styles and parenting beliefs.
I am also a Certified Happiest Baby Parent Educator, teaching parents Dr. Harvey Karp's unique approach to calming colicky, fussy crying babies!
My aim is to help you and your baby sleep well... Naturally!
Much of my work is now successfully carried out long distance using telephone and email support!
