Baby2Sleep offers you the chance to support your baby or child to fall asleep without being left to cry alone

A gentle, holistic and whole family approach to support your little one to sleep well

You are the parent, no-one knows your baby or child like you. Sometimes an outside perspective, reassurance and some evidence based knowledge is all you need to empower you to make positive change.

Are you struggling to settle your baby or child to sleep?
Is sleep deprivation affecting your family life?
Would you love to have calmer and happier bedtimes?
Are you an expectant parent who wants to know what to expect when your baby arrives?

I can help you find a solution that will meet the needs of your whole family, helping you all to sleep better and feel happier and re-energised.

I’m Nicole, a mum of two and an experienced holistic sleep coach. I’m passionate about helping families to have a positive start and sleep is such a huge part of that.

I know from first-hand experience the impact that a lack of sleep can have on relationships, physical and mental health, mood and energy levels. That’s why I’ve designed a range of courses and support packages to suit parents at all stages, from expectant parents wanting to give their baby the best possible start, to parents of babies, toddlers and children up to 6 years of age, who need positive change in their sleeping patterns.

Knowledge is power and when parents feel refreshed, empowered and confident, they are so much more able to handle the everyday challenges that parenthood brings.

Are you ready to make a change for you and your family?

Newborn Guide

“I wish I knew about this guide before I had Zach! The first few videos on preparing to become a parent, new parent feelings etc are just what you need towards the end of pregnancy. I feel like everything I did read during pregnancy was a waste of time as it all feels unrealistic and you may as well throw the books out of the window! Your videos are easy to follow and realistic to how things will actually be. And makes you realise everything you go through as a parent is normal even when you feel like you’re losing your mind haha. I like the length of the videos too. You can just do a quick module when you get 10-15 minutes.”

Jamie-Lee
Build your own sleep plan

“Nicole is the most down-to-earth & lovely person you could hope to have on your side when it comes to sleep struggles! Her online courses are jam packed full of helpful information and advice & having access to her in the private FB group is worth its weight in gold. She’s super responsive at replying (I’m not sure she ever actually sleeps!) with suggestions for whatever your particular sleep dilemma is. Just knowing she’s there & on hand to help is like having your own personal sleep nanny. Thanks so much Nicole!”

Claire Louise
Behaviour and Sleep Support Guide

“The service, help and advice has been fantastic!! After 3 nights of following the advised bedtime routine, for my 2-year-old, he is asleep within 10 minutes. This has gradually gone down from 30 on the first night. It would normally take 2 hours’ish to get him to sleep, with dad and I led in bed next to him. I am now sitting in his room which is another massive achievement!! I have paid to be in the toddler group. This has over 3 hours of videos full of loads of advice from sleeping to tantrums. A massive thank you for all your help. I would recommend and will be purchasing again for the little one on the way xxx.”

Charlotte Mayes
One to One Support

“Nicole has been amazing support to both of my children. My first child had reflux and refused to sleep in a cot, by 9 months I was exhausted as he was waking every 45 minutes and being fed back to sleep. It only took a few days of working with Nicole before he was gently taught to sleep on his in his own bed, he became a happier baby and I became a happier mum! And with my second child I implemented a lot of what I learned with my first, Nicole just helped me tweak and change a few things to help her sleep really well too. We have no early wakes, they go to sleep straight away and sleep 7-7. Pick up the phone and talk to Nicole, I can’t recommend her enough xxx “

    Today marks the start of #worldbreastfeedingweek and I thought it might be nice to reshare my story with you. I know you all know that I changed my career to support families with sleep after my experience with Sofias lack of sleep, but you might not realise that I am hugely passionate about supporting new parents throughout the whole transition from pregnancy to parenting due to the personal battles I had with Sofia. One of the big battles I had was breastfeeding. Here is a section from the blog, I’ll pop the link in the comments if you want to read more and I’ll share the following part of our breastfeeding journey tomorrow. ‘’Due the emergency section, I didn’t get the immediate skin to skin I would have liked, and it was a while before I got to hold my baby. I don’t really remember the first few hours at all. I will never know if this was partly the reason why breastfeeding was such a struggle, but I don’t think it will have helped matters. We really struggled with the latch and she was just not feeding, and the pain to keep on trying was horrific. I ended up hand expressing and using a syringe to feed her to make sure she was getting what she needed. It was exhausting, but as I had been led to believe for so long that I wasn’t going to be able to breastfeed due my medication, and to only recently find out I could, I was determined not to fail. While in hospital, I made my feelings on feeding very clear, so I got a shock when I saw a nurse pouring 30ml’s of formula into a cup to give to my day-old baby. She naturally thought she was helping as I was so exhausted, but it really felt like my choices were been taken away from me without my knowledge or consent.’ As a country we have one of the lowest % of breastfeeding mums, I would like to think this is because of choice, but unfortunately, from the families I’ve spoken to over the years, and the survey I ran recently, the biggest issue seems to be lack of support.

    Do you have a baby between 6 and 9 months old who seems to struggle with sleep and naps? You are not alone. With so much contradictory information on the internet, how are you supposed to work out which one of the many ‘schedules’ will work for your baby. I’m here to tell you that there is no one set schedule. There is your baby and your individual baby’s sleep needs. This isn’t to say it isn’t useful to have a guide to help you understand when your baby might be tired, or when they may be due a nap if they are good at concealing their tired signs. It is just that though, a guide. In the video I’m talking about what baby sleep tends to look like on average between these months, and when and how to transition from 3 naps to 2 naps a day. This information comes from a mix of studying, practicing as a holistic sleep coach for nearly 5 years and personal experience of having 2 children. Have a watch and let me know what you think. Does it make sense that your baby wants to sleep more than they are doing? Do you think you may have been keeping them awake too long due to an article, schedule or app telling you to keep them awake so they sleep better? Sleep breeds sleep, so if you aren’t sure your baby will sleep at what may seem like such short wake windows, give it a go. If things are bad now, they aren’t going to get much worse so what have you got to lose. Make sure you subscribe to the YouTube channel for notifications of new helpful videos, and feel free to give us a like so more people may find it and it help them on their journey. If you are really struggling with sleep and don’t know which way to turn, have a look at my online courses which are half price* for the summer holidays. From just £49.50 you could be working towards a better nights sleep. I’ll pop the link in the comments to the video and the courses.x Please excuse the website as it is undergoing some changes so it’s a mix of the old and the new at the moment.

    How many times have you been told you need to teach your baby to self-soothe? Did you know that self-settling is nothing to do with self-soothing, and just about falling asleep? Were you aware that the term self-soothing is actually about regulating emotions, and that we absolutely cannot expect our babies and young children to figure this out, especially given that it takes until adulthood to master self regulation? In this video, I explain the differences between self-settling and self-soothing and why it so important not to confuse them. It isn't a bad thing to start the beginnings of helping our baby or child to self-soothe, but this isn't related to sleep. This is about us using our knowledge of self-soothing and our child's level of need and understanding, as an opportunity to help them on their journey to become well-rounded children, teenagers and adults with a toolkit of methods to help them manage their big feelings and emotions. From 10 minutes into the video I talk in more detail about self-soothing and emotion regulation and offer you ideas to help you support your little one on their journey into the big wide world with our support. Children don't just 'figure these things out' on their own, they need us, the parents, to teach them, support them and show them what is normal. We are not perfect, so hiding our flaws doesn't really help them. Seeing us acknowledge our flaws, own them, mess up, apologise and make things right is 'normal', so why pretend any different. We need to model the behaviour we want to see from them, and sometimes that is making up for mistakes but without feeling guilty for being human. Parents are there to hold their child's hand through all stages of life from being a baby, through teenage years and into adulthood. No-one just has everything figured out. If you are struggling with your little one's sleep, please let me help you onto a better path. All my online sleep courses from 6 months to 6 years are half price* over the summer, so don’t miss this opportunity. You don't have to do anything alone. We don't expect our children to, so why should you. Link to video in the comments.x

    Do you have a baby or child who will only nap in the car? If so, the price of fuel must be really bothering you now. Driving for naps is a trap I got stuck in with Sofia from 2 years 9 months until she stopped napping at 3 years 10 months. That’s 13 months of driving round for a nap. That will have cost me a fortune. I refuse to ever get stuck in this trap with Alyssia, especially at todays prices. I decided to work something out. I used to drive an average of 20 miles a day for Sofias nap as I hit the motorway to get her to sleep. At todays fuel prices based on my car, £50 would get me 16 days of naps. That’s £632 a year for 4 naps a week in the car at just 20 miles a day. This is just 1 nap a day, so if you are on more than 1 nap, that cost is going to significantly increase. If you think you can’t afford support to help your little one sleep, yet you are trapped in the drive to nap trap, then I think it’s worth rethinking if you can afford £49.50 for help or live with the £632 fuel bill. That’s quite a scary statistic that’s leaves a very big hole in your bank account. Not to mention that car naps for the sole purposes of getting sleep may mean that sleep at night may be on the poorer side, which begs the question, are you safe to be doing that much driving? I have spoken to many a mum who has had a car accident through sleep deprivation. It just isn’t worth the risk. As I have said before, if you are still thinking £49.50 is out of your reach, I get it, the cost of living is going through the roof, please drop me a message and we can sort something out confidentially. Please only use this offer if you genuinely can’t afford it. #toddlersleepconsultant #holisticsleepcoach #babysleepadvice #toddlersleephelp #babysleeptips #baby2sleep #carnap #babyonlysleepsinthecar #CostOfLivingCrisis #costofliving #costoflivingcrisis #affordablesleep #affordablesleephelp #sleeptraining #sleeptrainingtoddler #gentlesleepsupport #gentlesleepsolutions
