By Sarah Wheeler on March 7, 2016 in Advice, baby sleep, clock changes, Routines, Sleep solutions, spring time
I felt a real sense of Spring today – amazing blue skies, bright yellow daffodils waving in the wind, and my first client of this year enquiring how best to cope with the impending clock change! British Summer Time begins on Sunday 27th March and we move the clocks forward one hour at 1am. So […]

An Ideal Bedtime Routine
I am often asked by parents for my ultimate bedtime routine, the one which will guarantee parents a good night’s sleep. Clearly I cannot ever categorically promise a good night’s sleep – if I could I would be writing this sitting on a beach in the Caribbean, rather than sitting outside my daughter’s gymnastics class […]
