Nancy became my much-loved Sleep Doula...
/Our sleep story with Oskar.
We found ourselves a little stuck between following our intuitive and gentle parenting philosophy and allowing our 18-month-old to learn to fall asleep in his own bed.
Having co-slept and breastfed to sleep since his birth, we knew we would need to be held through this process and that some expert guidance would give us the confidence we needed.
Having ignored my intuition years earlier by attending a sleep centre with my firstborn, I was keen to not repeat that again!
I knew Nancy was the person to help us, having a very similar parenting philosophy and a warm, nurturing nature. She helped us come up with a plan of how we would gently guide our little one to sleep on his own bed.
Nancy became my much-loved Sleep Doula, sharing in the joys and triumphs as I navigated the following weeks of settling my child always with positive and calm intention and surroundings.
More than anything, Nancy reminded me that it is possible for children to develop the skill of sleeping independently, especially when given the opportunity and loving guidance of a parent - and even more so when the parents are tenderly held and supported through this phase.
Thank you Nancy! xxx
