I’m Charleigh. 2 years ago I was a first time mum to a delicious baby boy who for all his loveliness, wouldn’t and couldn’t sleep without me. He was in my arms for every nap in the day, slept in our bed every night, and fed to sleep always. When we came out of the newborn period, I was ready to get back a little bit of the personal space that I’d so willingly given up to hold my little bundle all the time, but to my frustration, my baby boy still wouldn’t sleep anywhere but on me. I felt touched-out, overstimulated and alone in my struggle, not to mention how uncomfortable it is to sleep in the same position all the time!
I scoured the depths of Google for a solution and felt utterly overwhelmed with the amount of conflicting information out there (and utter despair at how easy everyone was making it sound). I tried rocking instead of feeding, patting, pacing, just leaving him to see what he would do - none of it got him to sleep in his cot. After 2 months of feeling desperately guilty that I didn’t instinctively know how to give my little boy the sleep he needed, I decided to spend the last of my pitiful maternity pay on hiring a sleep consultant.
In less than 3 days my little boy was sleeping in his own room, drifting off by himself and only waking for 2 feeds a night. He had long and predictable naps and when we finished working with the consultant, I was confident that I knew my baby inside out and was able to support him much better than I had been before. To this day it’s the best money I’ve ever spent - it completely transformed my life and that’s why I want to give other families the same transformation.
Since then I’ve navigated the many ups and downs of toddlerhood, juggled full time work and motherhood, and welcomed another baby boy into the world. With The Simple Sleep Company I want to make great sleep as accessible to all families as I wish it had been for me and take away the stress that can so often surround baby sleep.
I want to help, it’s that simple.
