A SOUTHAMPTON-based child sleep consultant has launched a self-led online training programme to help tired parents get their little ones to sleep through.

Lucy Shrimpton, pictured, who recently published The Sleep Nanny Solution, has put her expertise online, in Ultimate Sleep Solutions, meaning parents can educate themselves about how best to get a decent night’s sleep for the whole family.

“It’s a fully comprehensive training programme for parents to basically become a sleep expert for their own child,” says Lucy.

“I cover every scenario you can think of from birth to five years, so you know where you need to focus your attention.”

Lucy explains that through the training programme, she walks users through how to overcome various sleep challenges, with “real life, accessible, caring and gentle strategies that don’t involve leaving your little one to cry it out.”

The programme offers a rage of options for different temperaments, parenting styles and family dynamics. There are also bonus sections which suggest how to use the advice with adoptive children and twins.

Lucy says that as well as being substantially cheaper than hiring her services as a one-to-one sleep consultant, the programme also has the advantage that users have access for life, meaning they can turn to it when new problems present themselves or for guidance with subsequent children at no extra cost.

“It’s a ground-breaking new resource for parents – never before has this much information been shared in an actual training course,” says Lucy.

The course costs £187. For more information, visit: sleepnanny.co.uk/services. net/ussvideo Picture at top of page: copyright: 12 brayden@noborders.com.au.
