Libby Sleep Consultancy Certified Baby & Toddler Sleep Consultant: Improving SLEEP for all the family with bespoke Sleep Plans and advice Hi! More importantly, I am a Mummy of 3!

I’m Libby ✨

I am a Level 3 OCN Certified Baby & Toddler Sleep Consultant and founder of LIBBY Sleep Consultancy. H is a 4 year old toddler whose main goal in life is to be a T Rex when he grows up. 🦖

I am also a twin Mum - A & T are my girl/boy twins who are 18m and keep me on my toes!! 🎀🧸

Having 3 children I know first hand how debilitating sleep deprivation can be. My husband and I found ours

elves surviving on very little sleep so when we reached out to our own sleep consultant, who used gentle sleep training methods to encourage our children to self settle, we saw such a hugely positive change in their sleep and ours. Game Changer! I don’t want parents and children to just be surviving- I want them to THRIVE. 💪🏼🌟

I am passionate and determined to support parents and little ones through their journey to better sleep, using gentle, gradual and practical advice. 💤

🦃✨ Happy Thanksgiving to all my families who celebrate!

We don’t mark it here in the UK, but I know today is full of excitement, noise, travel…and the kind of overstimulation that can send baby sleep sideways.

If naps are short, bedtime is late, or routines go a bit wobbly, don't panic. One day won’t undo all your hard work.

Tomorrow you can re-focus on the routine, offer a little extra comfort if needed. Things will settle again.

If it's all a bit chop and changey - try for one nap in the cot if you can. Keep a familiar set of bedtime cues (same song, same book, same teddy, blackout blinds!). Build in a few quiet moments away from the noise

Enjoy your day. Don't worry as you can always adjust tomorrow.

WHAT IS MELATONIN?

I like to think that inside our bodies we’ve got two “sleep tanks.” One is our melatonin tank and one is our adenosine (sleep pressure!) tank. I’ll talk about that next…

Melatonin is our sleepy hormone: the one that helps signal to the body that night-time is here and it’s safe to drift off.

Babies actually don’t produce their own melatonin until around 9-10 weeks, which is one reason those first weeks can feel a little all over the place. Their tiny tanks just aren’t filling yet.

When you (or your baby) wake up in the morning, the melatonin tank is totally empty. As the day goes on and light exposure shifts, that tank slowly starts to fill. By the time bedtime rolls around, say 7pm for many little ones, that melatonin tank is full to the brim, and their body is practically pulsating with sleepy cues saying, “Okay, I’m ready. Let’s rest now.”

This is why bedtime timing, light exposure and predictable rhythms matter so much, they help that tank fill naturally and create the right conditions for sleep to come more easily.

Once melatonin arrives on the scene around 9–10 weeks, and hopefully circadian rhythm has readjusted, things can start to feel a lot smoother (just don’t mention the 4m sleep regression)

When your baby is born, their circadian rhythm, the internal body clock is basically… a newborn too.
It hasn’t matured yet and fun twist: it actually starts off a little backwards.

In the womb, your baby does most of their sleeping during the day while you’re up and moving. Your movement literally rocks them like a sleep machine.
And then at night, when you finally lie down? They’re like, “Ooh, party time!”

So when they arrive earth-side, their circadian rhythm needs time and a little gentle guidance, to flip the right way round.

One of the best ways to help is to “Signpost the day.” That means creating a clear contrast between:

Nighttime: calm, quiet, dark, low stimulation, in your bedroom
Daytime: bright, louder, social, in your living spaces

And yes… getting out of bed at 7am after a brutal night is brutal. I see you. Most parents hate me for this 🫣

But even small, consistent nudges like morning light exposure help your baby’s internal clock figure out, “Ohhh, this is daytime.”

PS: If your baby doesn’t settle until 9/10pm right now? Totally normal. Their circadian rhythm is still finding its groove. Try bringing bedtime earlier by ~15 minutes each night to gently encourage the shift. You’re not doing anything wrong, their little clock is just warming up.

Let’s talk about newborn sleep. It’s very different from babies toddlers and adults. They don’t sleep in typical Sleep cycles instead go through 2 Sleep states very fluidly ♾️:

Active : as it sounds – they might move, wriggle, grunt, eyes might flicker.

Quiet : this is what you’d actually expect a baby to look like sleeping. Still, quiet, peaceful with their eyes closed.

My biggest tip? When your babies in active sleep, this is often when parents interrupt thinking that their babies awake but actually they’re just moving around. Don’t rush over to them as you might be feeding or comforting them sooner than they actually need.

It’s not until around four months that they start developing their sleep cycles.

You can still create a healthy sleep foundation for your baby at such an early stage with a gentle bedtime routine (I will post about this tomorrow!), and rough ideas to Signpost the day to distinguish day versus night and help their circadian rhythm, the internal body clock to adjust.
