Sleep Thrive Grow

Sleep Thrive Grow Sleep Education that supports families to optimise sleep in their home. Hi! My passion for sleep started after I had given birth to my first child back in 2012.

Providing tailored services worldwide to compliment and support the health & well-being of both parent and child through intuitive and responsive parenting approaches. I'm Jen, the founder of Sleep.Thrive.Grow (S.T.G) Consulting, Registered Nurse and proud mother of three. Extremely naive, I left the hospital thinking I had done the hardest part. As long as I made sure my baby was fed and clean th

e rest would be easy right?! I certainly had a big shock coming! What I didn't expect was my son didn't "just" sleep. I found myself for the first time in a situation where I was completely out of my depth. No one close to me had a baby at this time, so I was lacking someone to seek guidance and advice from. I craved more knowledge to feel confident in my new adventure of motherhood...my soul depended on it! I decided this was time for me to get educated! I did lots of my own research and this is where my passion for sleep began. With the support of my husband, I started implementing what I had learnt, and was just amazed at how my son responded. I was supporting him to sleep well! My confidence grew as a parent as I began to clearly recognise what my baby needed. I felt happy and more in control...my son was happier in himself too! I realised I was meeting both of our needs as individuals without sacrificing life's enjoyments. He needed my guidance and I was able to give that to him in a gentle and supportive way. By the time I had my second and third child, I had grown as a mother and in my ability of practicing healthy sleep! My three children are all unique with different temperaments and preferences, but the knowledge I gained allowed me to adapt my method in order to support them the way that they needed. Helping others has always come naturally to me in my nursing career, my empathy is next level and I cannot help but want the best for others. This lead me to become an Internationally Certified Infant and Child Sleep Consultant which furthered my knowledge on sleep assisting methods and and the science behind sleep. It was during this time S.T.G Consulting was born! Here at S.T.G we believe sleep to be an essential component in allowing the whole family to thrive and grow together. Our goal is to provide you with the knowledge and confidence to evolve as a parent, and equip you with the skills and information you need to support your child's sleep throughout their natural developmental changes. I am so excited to be able to share my passion with others through my coaching programs and to help you and your family towards achieving, healthy and harmonious sleep.

Sometimes (often) you don’t need more information. You need someone to help you make sense of the information you already have, so you can move forward to trust what’s inside.

Because I still see incredibly prescriptive advice out there ⤵️
“Bedtime should be 6pm.”
“Don’t feed within 40 minutes of sleep.”
“Your baby should be doing X by this age.”

Shoulding all over the place!! 🫠 And I always wonder… how many adults have the EXACT same bedtime, routine and needs every single night? 🤨

Our babies are HUMANS, not robots.

Truly tailored sleep support considers the child in front of us their temperament, development and capacity alongside your family dynamics, your values and what is actually sustainable in your home.

And sometimes there’s a fear that if we become too collaborative, loosen the rules or let go of some control, everything will fall apart.

But collaboration doesn’t mean having no boundaries or direction. It’s part of relational leadership ➡️ we can lead, provide predictability and hold limits while still remaining curious and responsive to the person in front of us.

In my experience, that’s often where the most meaningful and sustainable change happens.

Sometimes one conversation can bring more clarity than months of trying to piece together advice from Instagram, Google or even ChatGPT 😆

If you swiped through these slides thinking, yep, this is me, book a free 15-minute Sleep Clarity Session with me.

And for someone who sees the human in both of you, let’s chat about what’s actually happening in your family, and what support might look like from here. 💛

Most parents I meet don’t actually want to stop supporting their baby.

They just want more ways to support them.

They want to understand what their baby is communicating, grow their co-regulation tools, and gently build their baby’s capacity for sleep without removing the safety and responsiveness they value.

That’s what I’ve poured into my ULTIMATE 4–12 month sleep course.

How do we take the safety our babies experience in our arms, in our presence and in our responses… and begin translating that safety into the cot and solo sleep space?

Not by withdrawing support.

By getting curious. Becoming more attuned. Understanding what our individual baby needs. And gradually expanding the ways they can feel safe enough to sleep.

The middle ground is coming. And I cannot wait to finally share it with you. 💛

Predictability isn’t about watching the clock or making every day look exactly the same.

For a developing nervous system, having a general sense of what comes next can reduce the amount of energy spent constantly seeking safety.

A little rhythm. A flexible range. Familiar patterns.

Enough predictability to help their body down-regulate, transition and rest, with enough flexibility to still live your life. 💛

Sometimes better sleep is only one part of what changes. Sometimes you get a happier baby in the daytime too, my absolute favourite bonus for families 😍

I know this can be particularly hard in the middle of the night.

We can start worrying about how much sleep they’re missing, how long they’ve been awake… or how much sleep we’re losing while we wait. 😅

But if your baby is in a safe sleep space, awake, calm and content and they’re not actually telling you they need anything from you YET, it’s okay to give them some time.

Keep things dark, quiet and boring. Stay available, but resist the URGE to immediately start DOING.

Sometimes our loving attempts to make sleep happen, rocking, patting, shushing, feeding can actually ADD stimulation when their nervous system wasn’t asking for it.

There’s something really powerful in being able to say in our hearts:

“You’re safe. I’m here. I trust you to let me know when you need me.”

And when they do?

That’s when we step in and begin adding the support they’re asking for.

This isn’t about ignoring your baby or expecting them to settle themselves.

It’s about developing trust in their communication and trusting that you’ll be there when they need you. 💛

If you want to feel more confident reading your baby, trusting their capabilities and knowing how much support to offer at sleep time, my programs are designed to help you do exactly that.

The bassinet sleep tip I wish more new parents knew ⤵️

For a 6-week-old, sleep may need to be offered after just 45–60 minutes awake.

Newborns can move from happily awake to overstimulated pretty quickly and sometimes what looks like “fighting sleep” is simply a little nervous system saying, I’ve had enough now.

So rather than waiting until your baby looks exhausted, experiment with offering sleep a little earlier.

If you’re practicing bassinet sleep, look for a moment where your baby is ⤵️

🌱Fed
🌱Clean and comfortable
🌱Calm and regulated with you
🌱Starting to show those early signs that sleep might be coming

You might cuddle, shush-pat, sing, sway or simply slow everything down. Think less stimulation, more regulation as you move towards sleep (a tip for older babies too)

And here’s the bit I wish more new parents didn’t fear. Your baby doesn’t necessarily need to be asleep before you put them down.

If they’re calm, content and their eyes are still open, you can give them an opportunity to experience their sleep space from that regulated state.

Stay close. Stay responsive. See what they do.

You might be surprised by what they’re capable of and if they need more support, you simply give them more support. 💛

In the newborn stage, I like to say watch your baby AND watch the clock because their cues can be subtle, and it takes time to learn the little human in front of you.

And that’s really what newborn sleep is about not learning how to make your baby sleep, but learning how newborn sleep works so you feel more confident knowing what to offer and when.

That’s exactly what I teach inside my Newborn Sleep Course understanding your baby’s sleep, their cues, their nervous system and practical ways to support sleep without rigid schedules or sleep training.

Because you don’t need another set of rules to follow. You need to understand the baby in front of you.

Before changing the routine, I often ask a different question:

Does sleep even feel safe right now?

Sleep is rarely about one thing. These are the four areas of safety I consider when supporting a family because sometimes timing matters, and sometimes we need to look beyond the schedule.

If the parental piece feels familiar, my When Sleep Doesn’t Feel Safe guide is there to support you. Comment Safe and it’s yours 💛

Your baby doing something once doesn’t mean they can access it every single time. 💛

Capability and capacity are not the same thing.

Your baby may be capable of linking a sleep cycle, settling with less support, finding their hands or drifting off in their cot.

But their capacity to access that capability can change from sleep to sleep.

Tiredness, stimulation, development, hunger, bigger feelings around separation, illness, even just having a bigger day overall with lots of fun stuff can mean they need a little more regulation and support from you.

So when they do something new, celebrate the glimmer! 🫶🏻

Just try not to turn that beautiful glimpse of capability into tomorrow’s expectation that will only make you feel more disappointed and stressed.

Because the real truth is, some days they’ll need very little from you. Other days they may need all of you.

I recommend meeting the baby in front of you today, and support the capacity they have (and you have) in this moment.

That’s developmentally responsive sleep support. 💛

I think one of the reasons I never felt fully aligned with either sleep training or “just wait it out” is because both can lose sight of the individual child and family in front of us.

Because responsive sleep support isn’t one particular outcome.

Right now, I’m supporting one family to find a version of co-sleeping that feels sustainable.

Another wants to build their baby’s confidence, trust and safety in their sleep space, while still keeping contact naps.

Another is working on moving daytime sleep from the pram into the cot, while happily co-sleeping at night.

Another wants to reduce night feeds and practice settling in other ways.

Different babies. Different families. Different goals.

We’re not raising robots.

For me, responsive sleep support is about understanding what’s driving the challenge, meeting the child’s temperament, capabilities and capacity, and then asking ⤵️

Where can we create opportunities for growth, without expecting more than this child or family can manage right now?

Sometimes that means changing something.

Sometimes it means building capacity slowly.

Sometimes it means supporting sleep exactly as you are while working on something else.

And sometimes it means deciding that what you’re doing is actually working for your family so nothing needs “fixing” at all.

There really isn’t one version of “good sleep” that every family needs to reach. Only you get to explore, know and learn what feels right and sustainable for your family.

I truly believe when we understand expectations, temperament, capability and capacity, sleep can start to feel a whole lot less stressful.

That, to me, is what makes responsive sleep support actually responsive. 💛

We can’t make our babies calm, just like we can’t make them sleep. Sleep isn’t an action we need to teach or force. Their bodies already know how to sleep.

What they often need help with is regulation through the transition into sleep.

And sometimes that regulation looks like feeding all the way to sleep. Sometimes it’s holding, movement, touch or our voice. Sometimes they may need very little from us and a solid routine, predictably and an environment that feels safe is enough for some kiddos out there.

The goal isn’t to remove support. It’s to make our support responsive.

Because I would much rather see a parent lovingly feed or rock their baby to sleep because that’s what their baby needs in that moment than feel they have to withhold support in order to “teach” sleep.

Where we can get curious is when we feel we have to repeat the same support every single time regardless of what our baby is communicating.

Instead of asking:

“What do I need to do to make them sleep?”

Try:

“What does my baby need from me to feel regulated enough for sleep right now?”

That might be everything. It might be very little. Both can be developmentally appropriate.

If you’re ready to take some of the pressure and stress out of sleep, reach out for a free Sleep Clarity Session and let’s find options that feel responsive and sustainable for your family. 💛
