Sleepless nights, hours of rocking, falling asleep only at the breast, co-sleeping with parents, no daytime routine, poor naps, bedtime battles, too many night feedings... It happens in every family: babies and children who don't sleep well. However, it's a misconception that it's just a part of it, that poor sleep is normal. An occasional bad night is normal, but if it continues for an extended period, I recommend consulting a children's sleep coach. It really doesn't have to be so tough! Often, small adjustments are enough to make a difference. And sometimes, a bit more is required. In this blog, I'll share 5 sleep tips for babies and young children.
