It's one of the questions I'm asked most often by parents, and if you've ever worried that breastfeeding to sleep is something you “shouldn’t” be doing, you're certainly not alone.

Reducing your baby’s night feeds won’t necessarily mean a reduction in night wakings.

Anyone can call themselves ‘gentle’ or ‘holistic’ in their approach to child sleep support.

So I wanted to share with you what I believe to be truly gentle and holistic sleep coaching and more importantly, what I believe isn’t…

Dependant on your biological chronotype, you are likely to either be a ‘lark’ or a ‘night owl’. Larks need more sleep on the whole and have the most energy in the morning, when they tend to rise early. Whereas night owls need less sleep overall but prefer to stay up and rise much later.
