If you have asked yourself ANY of these questions or had any of these thoughts cross your mind, this episode with the lovely Sophie is just for YOU!
Sophie (a fellow Nurse who loves routine and planning) and Tom are first time parents to 10 month old Angus (oh and don't forget their fur baby Kelpie 'Blue'). Around 4 months of age, sleep wen't completely out the window - he was waking every 60 minutes overnight and was catnapping in the day (20-30 min naps). They were waiting for sleep to improve and it just didn't - which led them to get some help.
In today's podcast episode we delve into how our Let’s Sleep client Soph and her family saw things change once they sought help.
Here is what we covered:

🌵How poor sleep was leading to everything else going out the window like exercise, time as a couple, meal prep, housework and the impact this had on their family.
🌵Sophie's anxiety leading up to going to bed at night because of Angus's unpredictable sleep patterns.
🌵How Angus went from a catnapper and frequent night waker to sleeping in his cot happily, taking a 2 hour + nap and sleeping through overnight with 1-2 feeds.
🌵How this transformation has positively impacted their parenting journey and increased their enjoyment of parenting immensely
