Where I can support

Very few parents have sailed through the first few (or indeed the next dozen) years of their childs life without support. Support comes in many shapes and sizes, including the obvious ones, family, friends, or even an online network. Mostly its welcome, sometimes its contradictory and even confusing.  No matter how big or small your network is, there is often room for an independent opinion or another opinion.Whether you prefer picking up the phone or meeting face to face, I can provide support in many areas including but not limited to behaviour, sleep, weaning and toilet training.

• Weaning

  Going from milk to solids is a transition that all babies have to make but its still incredibly individual. From puree to baby lead, allergies to diet preferences, cultural styles, weaning  can be a minefield and one that daunts many people. My package includes coming along to your first weaning day and supporting the first cook up, together with supporting their first mouthful.I leave with the knowledge that you have your first couple of weeks organised, with further information for anything else you require.
• Sleeping

  The lack of sleep that parents endure during the first year - and often beyond, of their childrens life is often said to be the most crippling part of parenthood. Lack of sleep makes us more irritable and less focused which has a direct effect on caring for our baby, work, relationships and of course our ability to function during the day. I offer a sleep consultancy package to support you in getting your baby to successfully get through the night.I also offer sleep overs to support an uninterrupted nights sleep when sleep deprivation is at its worst..
• Toilet Training

  While there a number of methods you may read to help your children go from nappies to the toilet. The truth is that all children are different, develop at different times, have different needs and different family structures (i.e are they the youngest or oldest) that may influence the right age or method of toilet training thats right for them and will fit into the family unit. My package includes coming along to your house for the first days training and supporting both the parent and child in getting going.
• Behaviour

  The word behaviour carries so many different meaning. Whether the issue is tantrums, confidence boosting, surviving without a dummy, not wanting to go to bed, the list is endless.Partnering with parents means that I can get involved in anything that you want help to create, encourage or discourage.
