Welcome to Sleepy Buds!

Sleeping Baby

Parenting can be wonderful and challenging at the same time.
 
We adapt to new roles, discover the best in ourselves and learn how to love unconditionally.

But it can be overwhelming when:
- our little ones seem to live on us all the time
- we can't sleep for longer than 2 hours
- we don't have any time for ourselves or as a couple
- we try lots of different things to settle our baby and nothing seems to work! 

Sleep deprivation is hard!

First of all, if you are feeling any of the above, you are not alone!
And while you absolutely love your litlle one and enjoy making memories with your family, you might need help too.


If you are struggling, certain habits don't seem sustainable anymore and you really want a change, then I am here to help!

I promote gentle strategies that respect your little one's development AND show significant improvements to the whole family' sleep.

FREQUENT NIGHT WAKINGS

Does your child wake up and needs you multiple times?

BEDTIME BATTLES

Does your child fight the moment they are laid down or take a long time to fall asleep?

SHORT NAPS

Does your child sleep only 30-45 minutes or refuses naps completely?

EARLY RISES

Does your child start the day at 4 or 5am?

IS FEEDING OR ROCKING TO SLEEP

...not sustainable anymore?

DO YOU WANT TO TRANSITION FROM

...co-sleeping?

TRANSFORMING SLEEP
 
Rute has been able to transform sleep for our baby. Now both myself and my partner are equally able to put our baby to sleep. All done with a gentle and caring approach, and I’m still happily breastfeeding. Rute was patient and understanding of our needs, very thorough with her approach to understanding our specific circumstances and goals which resulted in a bespoke plan that worked for us.

SLEEP SHAPING CONFIDENT BEDTIMES

​

Rute delivered a very informative session on baby sleep patterns and personalised advice on how to implement routines.  She was passionate and knowledgeable and helped us enormously to establish some routine for our 3 month old, Ronan. This session made both myself and my partner feel more confident about bedtimes and how to avoid our baby getting overtired and upset.

MAKING THE IMPOSSIBLE, POSSIBLE

​

The knowledge and support she gave us throughout was invaluable and by night 5 he was sleeping through the night and self settling, which was our goal all along. Rute made what we thought was the impossible, possible, and we are so much happier now we are all getting a good nights sleep. His naps have improved, his wake up times later and he has an amazing appetite now.

A LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE!

​

Rute has helped our family so much. Our night awakenings are now 0. We can not recommend her enough, it has really been a life changing experience. We feel so much more confident in dealing with our baby's sleep needs.

FROM FEEDING AND ROCKING TO SLEEPING INDEPENDENTLY!


We can't recommend Rute enough. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable and attentive as a sleep consultant, she also has a highly relevant medical background which means she brings a deep understanding of baby development including feeding for example which is incredibly helpful when supporting babies and their families in the round. We think this sets her apart. Thanks so much Rute!

5 YEAR OLD FALLS ASLEEP ON HIS OWN FOR THE FIRST TIME!


Rute made a plan that was personalised to our children's age and needs. Everything was very gradual and all went really well from the first night. No drama or crying which was my main worry. The frequent follow ups were great to give us reassurance that we were doing all the right things.

I am happy with what we have achieved, our son is now able to fall asleep in his own bed without one of us next to him and sleeps through the night without waking up. I am happy that this felt like a natural process.
