As a parent in Manchester, understanding your baby or toddler’s sleep cycles is essential in creating a nurturing environment for them to rest. Baby and toddler sleep is different from adult sleep; knowing how your toddler’s sleep works can help you establish routines that work best for both of you. If you’re tired of struggling with inconsistent sleep patterns, it’s time to explore the science behind sleep cycles and how you can use that knowledge to improve your baby’s rest.
In The Better Sleep Blueprint, you’ll learn how to align your toddler’s sleep with their natural sleep patterns. This gentle approach doesn’t involve sleep training or harsh methods but instead focuses on understanding your toddler’s needs to promote better sleep.
Sleep cycles are the stages that we go through while sleeping, and babies and toddlers go through these cycles too. A sleep cycle typically lasts around 90 minutes for adults, but for babies, it’s shorter. Babies generally spend a large portion of their sleep in REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep, which is important for growth and brain development.
Understanding these sleep cycles helps you recognise when your baby might be naturally transitioning from one stage to another, which is the best time to support their sleep. By being attuned to these transitions, you can help your baby fall back asleep more easily without having to resort to sleep training methods that can be stressful for both of you.
Babies don’t sleep through the night for the first few months of life. Their sleep is irregular, and they tend to wake up multiple times throughout the night for feeding, comfort, or diaper changes. This is completely normal and part of their development. As babies grow, their sleep patterns begin to stabilise, and they gradually develop the ability to sleep for longer periods.
By following the strategies in The Better Sleep Blueprint, you can provide your baby with a more consistent and restful sleep experience. This method focuses on recognising your baby’s natural sleep signals and creating a calm, safe sleep environment that supports their natural sleep cycles.
The Better Sleep Blueprint offers an empathetic approach to baby and toddler sleep. It’s not about forcing your baby to sleep through the night or following a rigid schedule. Instead, it’s about understanding their sleep cycles, meeting their needs, and providing the comfort they need to sleep soundly. This gentle approach leads to longer and more peaceful sleep for both you and your baby

I have always been interested in gentle parenting techniques, and as a self confessed ‘geek’ I spent many a sleepless night reading. I became so interested in infant brain development and the science of sleep that I completed my Holistic Sleep Coaching qualification, mentored by the wonderful Lyndsey Hookway. I have been working as a toddler sleep consultant since 2018, I am based in Manchester but I can work with you from anywhere in the world online!
This coupled with my experience in settling techniques, toddler negotiation strategies and analysis of naps and sleep needs gives me a wealth of knowledge to be able help you.
