About this package
The aim of the appointment will be to discuss healthy sleep habits and gentle methods to help lengthen your newborn’s day and night sleep.
Although it is to be expected that newborn babies will not be sleeping through the night, we will discuss age appropriate sleep requirements and sleep goals for each stage of development during the first 5 months, so you can get your newborn off to the right start. We will discuss your current challenges and how to “gently” remedy them.
This is designed for parents of babies aged 4 weeks up to 5 months. information will be provided regarding normal sleep and sleep requirements of babies of this age (with information regarding sleep hygiene and commencing a bedtime routine). Then an individualised sleep plan will be devised with the aim to lay a healthy foundation for the newborn baby, which will get them off to the best start and allow them to grow into great sleepers.
During this appointment your baby’s sleep pattern will be discussed and assessed using information you will have provided in a parental questionnaire and sleep diary*** (and feeding chart) which will have been sent to you in advance of the appointment (and sent back in order for it to be assessed prior to the appointment).
Following this a tailored holistic gentle sleep plan; developed specifically for your baby, your family, your particular problem, will then be produced and you will be provided with a written outline of your plan.
Also included:
There will be then 4 follow up emails to provide ongoing support.
