Geddington-based Rebecca Askew is herself a mother of four, and all four of her children were terrible sleepers. So desperate for sleep was she that she would visit her Health Visitor in tears asking for advice only to be met with the stock answer: ‘some babies just don’t sleep I am afraid’. Feeling like a zombie for years, Rebecca put up with it whilst it appeared that all other babies around her slept like a dream.
When Rebecca’s grandson, Noah, arrived he unfortunately followed in his daddy’s footsteps: not sleeping through the night and needed holding for any naps in the day.
As a child psychologist, Rebecca wanted to know the reasons why some babies slept and other just didn’t, and she was not prepared to see her son and daughter-in-law accept the stock answer of ‘some babies just don’t sleep’. Having found a New Zealand-based sleep consultancy that centred their sleep training on science-based research and whose methods Rebecca could fully relate to, the family used their services for Noah and within a week had a beautiful little sleeper.
This is where Rebecca’s Sleep Consultant journey started. With the child developmental knowledge already acquired, she undertook the sleep training which helped to fi ll in the biological links to babies’ sleep. With the exception of some babies and infants with special needs, Rebecca does not believe that ‘some babies just don’t sleep’, so much so that she is prepared to guarantee, if followed consistently, that her baby and infant sleep training will work for you too .
Your support package will typically follow an initial telephone conversation and the completion of an assessment form. From this information, a tailored sleep plan will be written for your baby/infant and emailed over to you for your approval and any concerns or questions will be addressed. The plan can include telephone support calls/texts or a house visit to show you the settling technique that has been advised, depending on your requirements. A postprogramme plan to help with your baby’s next developmental leap is also available. Please contact Rebecca for details via her website or Facebook page.
