aving 3 children I know first hand how debilitating sleep deprivation can be. My husband and I found ourselves 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. 💤

If you were planning on starting to night-wean right now just take a beat, pause and assess. 🛑

When it’s this hot, babies often need those extra night feeds for hydration. If you try to cut them out during a heatwave, both you and your little one are going to have a much rougher time.

Give yourself some grace and hold off for a few days until things cool down. You’ll thank yourself later!

Think about it next week and if you want guidance I am HERE!

Have you heard of Summer Feeding?

Sometimes your baby wants a sandwich... and sometimes they just need a glass of water.

And this is SO important when it’s super hot in the UK right now. It’s not always hunger it’s thirst too.

It’s completely normal to see more frequent, shorter feeds on hot days as they work to keep themselves hydrated.

And don’t not feed them more because you’re worried they’ll start needing to be fed every hour when it cools. You’ll get back to your normal groove soon.

They know exactly what they need to stay cool. Even if it feels a bit sticky 🤣🤣

With the UK heatwave, I know we’re all dreaming of pitch-black nurseries, but safety comes first.

A 5am wake-up call is much better than a baby who is overheating.

Here are a few bite-sized tips to keep your little one cool:

- Create a through breeze: Keep doors and windows open (safely!) to encourage airflow.
- Fan placement: Use a fan to circulate air, but never point it directly at your baby.
- Check the TOG: Switch to a lighter sleepbag or just a nappy and a thin layer.
- Cool bath: A lukewarm (not cold!) bath before bed can help settle them.

Stay safe out there, Libby x

When parents come to me, they are usually exhausted and have tried 50 different things they found on Google. The reason those didn't work? They weren't built for YOUR baby, YOUR house or YOUR lifestyle.

Here is *exactly* how I approach each new family's goals when transforming their child's sleep over a 2 week period. My daily ambition is to provide personalised, responsive sleep support that works for you and your dynamic, chasing predictability not perfection.

This is my 6 step process that works.

To promote safer sleep, the recommends keeping your baby's room between 16°C and 20°C and reminds us that overheating is a significant risk factor for SIDS.

Because infants regulate temperature differently from adults, here is how to typically adjust layers and sleeping bag tog ratings based on the room's degrees Celsius.

IMPORTANT:
Check their core: Don't judge by cold hands or feet. Always check your baby's temperature by feeling their chest or the back of their neck. If it feels hot or sweaty, remove a layer.

Never double-bag: Never layer multiple sleeping bags together, as trapped air can cause dangerous overheating.

Charts are guides: The Lullaby Trust does not produce a rigid clothing chart because individual baby needs and clothing materials vary. Always prioritise your baby's physical cues over a generic chart.

15-36 MONTH ROUTINE
Around 14/15 months, babies undergo the final major daytime sleep transition, moving down to a single midday nap. Then soon become toddlers!

What they can typically manage:

- The Early Phase (15–18 Months): Stamina increases to allow a single wake window that stretches to 12:30 or 1:00 PM. During the early weeks of this transition, a short 10–15 minute morning "bridging nap" (like a car or pram) is often required to help them reach midday without melting down.

- The Later Phase (2–3 Years): As they grow older, the length of that lunchtime nap actually needs to be actively managed and reduced. Allowing a toddler to sleep too long at lunch reduces biological sleep debt, which frequently causes bedtime battles, split nights (extended night waking), or early morning wakes.

Disclaimer: All babies have different sleep needs; this is just a guide. Toddler sleep needs vary drastically; a lower sleep-needs 2.5-year-old might only require a 45-minute nap to function perfectly (or none at all!), whilst a higher sleep-needs child might still easily manage an hours' midday rest without impacting night sleep.

11-14 MONTH ROUTINE
As babies approach and pass the one-year mark, their total sleep requirements change slightly, requiring a strategic balance between morning and afternoon rest.

What they can typically manage:

- Babies at this age can typically manage 3 to 3.5 hours of wakefulness between sleep periods.
- To protect the afternoon rest, many families find success by capping the morning nap to a shorter length. This ensures enough biological sleep pressure builds up for a robust, restorative lunchtime nap.

Disclaimer: All babies have different sleep needs; this is just a guide. A lower sleep-needs toddler might rapidly stretch toward a 3.5-hour window, whereas a higher sleep-needs child may still show clear signs of fatigue closer to the 3-hour mark.
