Ask yourself the following questions and if you answer any with a "YES"
then your child is probably experiencing sleep problems.

• Do you have an baby who sleeps less than an hour?
• Are you feeding your baby every two to three hours?
• Do you have difficulty getting your baby or toddler off to sleep?
• Is your baby irritable or unhappy at a particular time most days?
• Is your baby dependent on an outside influence to help him/her get to sleep? (Nursing, rocking, patting, dummy, sleeping with someone, breast or bottle).
• Has your baby’s daily routine been upset due to sickness, travel or teething or has the environment changed causing him/her to be unsettled?
• Do you have an infant (over 3 months) who sleeps less than eight hours at night?
• Do you have a toddler who is constantly waking at night?
• Does your child sleep in your bed or constantly get out of bed and you would like him/her to learn to stay in his/her own bed?
• Would you like to teach your child to go to bed earlier or without an argument or to sleep longer than 5 am in the morning?

If your situation has been mentioned or you would like to avoid any of the above, we have the program to help you.

Before commencing on a settling program:

• check baby/child isn't sick.
• check baby/child's temperature.
• check with your doctor that baby/child doesn't have a ear or urine infection.

If your baby/child has been checked and cleared by your doctor yet continues to be unsettled you may like to try the following relaxation tips before enrolling our services:

• relaxation music
• a warm relaxation bath.
• a walk in the pram with a cover over the pram to encourage baby to sleep.
