Sleepy Tots

Our little ones grow, learn and change so quickly, especially throughout their first year earthside. As they develop, their sleep needs naturally shift too.

To help you navigate this stage, I’ve put together a quick mini guide showing age-appropriate sleep expectations for around 4 months.

✨ SWIPE to learn more.

If you’d like more detailed guidance on age-appropriate routines, including nap timings and durations, my Routine Guides are a great next step. You can find them via the link in my bio.

💛 A gentle reminder: Every little one is different and has their own unique sleep needs. These are simply guidelines and may not fit every baby exactly.

If you have a question about your little one’s sleep, feel free to pop it in the comments or send me a message.

When this beautiful mum reached out, her 7 month old was unsettled for hours and waking multiple times a night.

They were co-sleeping just to get some rest.
Day naps were inconsistent.
With a 2 year old as well, she felt completely trapped at home and exhausted.

Together, we created a personalised plan that worked around their toddler’s schedule, their parenting style, and their lifestyle.

During our time together:
• Day naps became consistent
• The dummy was removed (parents choice)
• Night wakings reduced to just one
• He learned to self-settle independently

But the biggest shift?
Confidence.

Confidence to leave the house.
Confidence to handle off-days.
Confidence in knowing what to do when sleep shifts.

Support isn’t just about better nights, it’s about helping you feel calm and capable again 🫶🏻

If this feels familiar, my Dreamy Support Package provides families with guidance, practical strategies, and encouragement so you don’t have to navigate sleep challenges alone.

If your little one is feeding constantly overnight but barely interested during the day, you may be experiencing reverse cycling.

It’s common.
It’s fixable.
And it doesn’t mean you need to keep surviving on broken, disrupted nights.

The goal isn’t to remove night feeds quickly.
It’s to gently and gradually help your little one shift calories back into the daytime in a way that feels supportive and appropriate for their age.

Nights don’t have to stay this exhausting.
Reach out if you’d like support 🫶🏻

Our little ones grow, learn, and change so quickly, especially in their first year earthside! With all these changes, their sleep needs also shift constantly.

Not every family is looking for a full sleep package or ongoing 1:1 support.

Sometimes you just need to talk through a specific area that’s feeling tricky.

Maybe you’re tired of second-guessing everything.
Maybe it’s…

Sleep regressions.
Early rising.
Catnapping.
Nap transitions.
Bedtime battles.

The Sleepytime Call is a focused 1:1 session designed to give you reassurance and direction around that particular challenge.

We’ll review what’s happening, look at the full picture, and create clear, practical next steps tailored to your little one.

If you’re feeling stuck, this might be exactly the reset you need right now 🫶🏻

Sleep can feel frustrating because it’s rarely just one simple issue.

A short nap might not just be about naps.
Night wakes might not just be about feeds.
Early mornings might not just be about bedtime.

There are many layers to sleep.

And when families feel stuck, it’s often because one small piece of the puzzle hasn’t quite aligned yet.

Sometimes having an extra pair of eyes on your routine and looking at the full picture can make all the difference.

I review your little one’s sleep environment, routines, feeding patterns, awake windows, connection, movement, settling support… and how they all interact together.

If you’re feeling stuck or sleep feels overwhelming right now, you don’t have to figure it out on your own. I’d love to help you piece it together 💛
