Welcome to Yawn Sleep School!
In addition to offering personalised, one-to-one sleep coaching, I also offer a number of detailed online guides designed to help you learn about sleep at your own pace, and achieve better sleep for your child from birth through toddlerhood.

Newborn+ Sleep Essentials
For babies aged 0-5 months
Newborn sleep will never be perfect, but it also doesn’t have to be a complete disaster. This guide covers everything you need to know to achieve better sleep in the Fourth Trimester and a little bit beyond. While newborns are too young for any structured schedules or sleep training, it is never too early to lay the foundations of good sleep habits. Set your newborn up for early sleep success with age-appropriate routines, tips and tricks.
