As Featured On
I'm Lucy
I’m a wife, a mother of two and the founder of The Sleep Nanny®
I believe that a healthy and happy life starts with sleep! When I was returning home from hospital with our first baby, I was making calls from the car and running a business. I quickly realised how vital sleep is when this bundle of joy came along.
To me, there is nothing more important than using all the potential you were blessed with and to squeeze every last drop of joy and fulfilment out of the one life you’ve got.
To do that means getting the sleep you need so that you can also give your children the opportunity to become the very best of what they were born for and help them to get the sleep they need too!

The Importance of Sleep
Sleep is when our bodies repair and replenish. It is very important for a baby’s growth and brain development, general development and healthy immue system.
The amount of sleep a baby or child has will affect his mood, alertness and ability to concentrate and participate in his environment.
Quality sleep is as important to a baby as the nourishment he gets. In adults sleep is important for keeping hearts healthy, reducing stress, feeling more active, boosting memory, helping body to replenish, reducing risk of depression and making us more productive.
The Affects of Sleep Deprivation
Did you know that sleep deprivation is used as a form of torture in some countries? That is how horrific it feels to be seriously sleep deprived! I have been in that state and I would not wish it upon anybody.
Some of the first signs of sleep deprivation are irritability, moodiness and disinhibition. Sleep deprived mothers often feel overwhelmed, short tempered and depressed.
Sleep deprivation is a huge contributor to road traffic accidents and interferes with the learning ability of school children due to poor concentration.
Myths and Misconceptions
“They are all different – My child just doesn’t need as much sleep”
An extreme minority of children can function perfectly well on a below average amount of sleep and in fact, 95% of children need the recommended average sleep for their age/weight.
“If I keep my child awake during the day, he will sleep better at night”
In actual fact an overtired child is more likely to wake earlier and have night wakings than a well rested child. Sleep begets sleep. If you miss your child sleep windows he is more likely to resist sleep when you do try to put him down.
“Babies are adaptable and can sleep on the go and work around my ‘out & about’ schedule”
You wouldn’t be on my website if you didn’t want your child to sleep well and you will need to commit to a flexible routine in order to acheive good sleep habits. So you will have to work around your baby to some extent. It is a short term pain for a long term gain!
“Sleepless nights are just part of being a parent. You have to grin and bear it until it passes”
This is not true and in fact, by ignoring poor sleep habits and not addressing them early on, you are allowing your child to set up potenial poor sleep habits for life.

Are you facing the 2-1 nap transition right now? How old is your child in this transition? Comment below & tell us how it's going
I'll be here LIVE tomorrow at midday (GMT London) to answer your questions about the 2-1 nap transition!!
What a difference ONE COACHING CALL makes!!
Mum, Michelle says.."I felt so desperate when we spoke and when you’re in that moment, it’s so hard to see a light at the end of a tunnel. Just goes to show a few small changes and consistency goes a long way!"
Lois (age 2) was waking super early every morning and struggling to nap at nursery. The family were exhausted.
We put a plan in place and this is what Michelle said..."Lois woke up at 06:40 today! I’ve gradually increased the wake-up time on her clock to 06:30, but today she woke up a good 10mins after it! I can’t believe the difference since our call 2wks ago".
You and your family could be sleeping better too. Drop us a message today to find out how we can help you solve your sleep challenges.
Is your little one resisting a second nap during the day?
If they are somewhere between 13 and 17 months then it is likely that they may be ready to transition from 2 naps to just the one.
This can be complicated and it can be on and off for a number of weeks so you need to be prepared.
Check out this weeks YouTube video where I answer the following questions;
- When is your little one ready to transition from 2 nap to 1?
- What are the signs?
- How do you navigate this when they don’t sleep at the ideal times?
- And how long will this transition take?
Drop me a thumbs up in the comments below if you think your little one is ready to drop down to one nap.
