Introducing Lullaby Bear Sleep Support – Newborn Sleep support Dorset

One of the things we all struggle with when we become parents is sleep… or the lack of it!

When I had my daughter I really hadn’t understood how complex baby sleep is… I think it’s totally normal when your baby is a newborn to have to adjust and figure out what your baby needs and you gradually learn their sleep cues and eventually routine does start to creep in. I remember around 12 weeks things seemed a little easier when we knew what to expect from her nap times and feeds. But! Around 6 months I was so utterly exhausted by our lack of sleep at night time and the fact that she just seemed to always want to either feed or be cuddled to sleep… I needed a bit of a break… and started googling and trying to figure things out. It was a minefield of conflicting advice online!!

If you’re currently in that phase… or wherever you are in those early years of your little one’s life…and looking for baby sleep support in Bournemouth… then I’d like to introduce you to Lauren from Lullaby Bear Sleep. I first met Lauren at the Little Pickles Bump Baby and Child Show event in Bournemouth and she is such an easy going, friendly lady. She knows her stuff when it comes to sleep and I’m sure she could be a great help to some of you.

Lauren has a Newborn Package that helps new parents put healthy sleep habits in place from the start. It also comes with 2 weeks of daily support so she is there every step of the way and can answer all sleep questions from now and as they grow older. She is offering my clients 15% off any sleep support package with the code ABY15.

You can find out more about Lauren and the services she offers on her website HERE

You can also follow her on INSTAGRAM for lots of sleep tips and advice.

Sending sympathy to anyone struggling with sleep deprivation at the moment, it can feel like it will go on forever, make sure you take the support you can and rest whenever possible! Xx
