My name is Chris, I am married with two little girls Maddie and Ruby. I loved the reactions I got from my daughters during that one to one time.

Baby sleep consultant 0-5 years
Former NHS practitioner /18+years experience
Professional sleep trainer
Evidence based advice
Supporting families and professionals I have worked with children and families for 20 years and over that time I have gained a wide spectrum of knowledge and experiences. I qualified as an Infant massage instructor in 2012 with the Insititute of infant massage (IAIM) and have been using my skills supporting families but also with my own children. The effects it had on our relationship and bonding are ever lasting. When I teach infant massage to families, every class is different because every baby is different!! Thats one of the most rewarding things about my job, I can share a little bit of that precious time parents have with their babies and I feel very lucky to have that opportunity. September 2017 I introduced our sleep consultancy branch. I have been working with families for the last 8 years within my NHS role supporting families to improve their child's sleep issues. I am bringing those skills and experiences to the little cherry tree to support families. I understand that not one method suits all so I work closely with you to tailor a plan that is manageable for you and your family.

In the daytime, you feel ready.

You have a plan. You understand your little one’s habits. You’ve decided what you’d like to do differently.

Then bedtime comes.

You’re tired. Your little one is upset. You start questioning yourself.

“Am I doing the right thing?”
“Should I try something else?”
“What if I’m making it harder for them?”

It’s difficult to keep going when you’re carrying every decision and there’s nobody beside you to talk it through.

Finding it hard to follow through doesn’t mean you don’t care enough, or that you’ve failed.

Knowing what you could change and feeling able to make that change are two different things.

Sometimes you need someone to listen. To help you decide whether the plan actually fits your child. To work out what feels manageable tonight, and help you recognise when to continue, pause or adapt.

That’s part of what I offer at The Little Cherry Tree Company.

Space to ask questions, talk through the difficult nights and make changes at a pace that feels right for your family.

You deserve support while you’re supporting your little one.

If this feels familiar, send me a message with “SUPPORT” and we can talk about what help could look like for you. 🌙

It’s usually said with good intentions. It can still make an exhausted parent want to scream into a pillow. 😅

Rest when you can and ask for help when you need it. Send this to someone who has heard that advice one too many times.

To the mum counting down the weeks until she goes back to work, while quietly wishing time would slow down: I see you. 🤍

You might be worried about nursery naps, how your baby will settle without you, and how you’ll get through a workday after a difficult night. You might also be grieving the end of maternity leave while knowing your income matters to your family.
That’s a lot to hold at once.

You don’t need to have every sleep question answered before you return. Talk with nursery about what comforts your baby, think about what support you need during those first weeks, and take one step at a time.

If you’d like help understanding your baby’s sleep before this next chapter, send me a message. We can work out a gentle, realistic place to begin.

Save this for a day when you need the reminder, or share it with a mum who is facing the same transition.

If you’re reading this while holding a coffee that’s already gone cold, I see you. ☕️

Early starts have a special way of making 9am feel like lunchtime.

Send this to the friend who will understand exactly why you’ve already lived three days today.

One of the common mistakes I see families making with their sleep battles is this....

Baby wakes constantly throughout the night so they are so focused on those wakes that they forget to look at what is happening in the day. Babies change so much in the first year and as their development changes so does their needs.

and lets be honest.... we all know how quick that first year goes so it is easy to mina changes.

My tip to you is this, if you have a baby and night time wakes are causing issues.... look at a whole 24 hours not just one night!

Finally, just because your baby wakes in the night also doesnt mean thats it's wrong!!!

If you are not sure if what you are experiencing is normal baby development or something more then book a sleep clinic call and let's talk it through!!

A sleep plan is easy to generate. Knowing whether it fits your child takes more.

AI can offer information and suggestions, but it can also produce incorrect or incomplete advice even when it sounds convincing.

Working with me, gives you a person who takes time to understand your child, your concerns and your family’s circumstances. In all my time as a sleep consultant, I have never given the identical advice to two families.

My role is to:

Ask questions before recommending changes.
Consider your child’s development, routines and individual needs.
Help you choose changes you feel comfortable making.
Review progress with you and adjust our approach.
Recognise when concerns need support from your health visitor, GP or another professional.

A suggestion might sound straightforward on a screen. Putting it into practice when you’re exhausted, managing siblings or feeling unsure can be much harder.

That’s where ongoing human support matters.

AI can help you explore information. A sleep consultant brings professional judgement, a relationship with your family and someone you can turn to as things change.

If you’re overwhelmed by sleep advice and want help working out your next step, send me a message.

There is not one change or plan that suits every child.. so anybody who advertises a one size fits all to sleep is taking rubbish!!

Children are all different and so it is ok if their sleep habits are different, it doesnt mean you have done anything wrong so if you are sat there wondering what happened.... it wasn't you!!!

If you are struggling with your child's sleep and are scratching your head trying to figure out what happened .... Book a sleep clinic call and lets talk through a plan for you to get sleep back on track

It’s 3am.

You’ve fed them. Changed them. Rocked them. Put them down.

Their eyes close.

You carefully climb back into bed, pull the duvet up and close your own eyes…
…and then you hear it.
That little cry.

And suddenly you could cry too.

Because sleep deprivation isn’t just feeling tired.

It’s putting the milk in the cupboard and your phone in the fridge.

It’s forgetting what you walked into a room for.

It’s feeling overwhelmed by a decision that normally wouldn’t bother you.

It’s crying over something tiny because actually, it isn’t about that tiny thing at all.

It’s desperately wanting someone to hold your baby for ten minutes and then missing them the second they do.

It’s lying awake waiting for the next wake-up because your brain has forgotten how to switch off.

It’s feeling guilty because everyone keeps telling you to “enjoy every minute” when some minutes are really, really hard.

Sleep deprivation is more than tiredness.

When we repeatedly don’t get enough restorative sleep, it can affect our concentration, memory, emotional regulation, patience and ability to cope with everyday stress.

And new parenthood can bring a particularly difficult kind of sleep loss because your sleep may be repeatedly interrupted, night after night, with very little control over when you get to catch up.

So if you’re struggling, it doesn’t mean you’re doing motherhood badly.
It might simply mean that you are exhausted.

You deserve support too.

And supporting your baby’s sleep doesn’t have to mean leaving them to cry, ignoring their needs or following a rigid routine.

Sometimes it starts with simply understanding why sleep is difficult right now and finding gentle, realistic changes that work for your baby and for you.

Is your baby waking EVERY HOUR at night? 😴

You finally get them back to sleep, climb into bed, close your eyes… and they’re awake again.

If this sounds familiar, you’ve probably Googled:

🔎 “Why does my baby wake every hour?”
🔎 “Why won't my baby stay asleep?”
🔎 “How do I stop frequent night wakings?”

The frustrating answer is that there isn't ONE reason.
Frequent night waking can be influenced by daytime sleep, naps, feeding, development, your baby's sleep environment, how they settle and their individual sleep needs.

And no, the answer isn't automatically to leave your baby to cry. 🤍

I've written a new article explaining 7 reasons your baby might be waking every hour, what you can start looking at tonight, and when it might be worth getting some extra support.

👉 Read the full article via the link in my bio.

And if you're reading this after another exhausting night, save this post so you can come back to it later.

I come across a lot of comments to parents that make my blood boil and this one is in the top 5!!!

YOU are your babies safe space, they feel content in your arms for cuddles. When they cry it's because it is their way of communicating.

Picking them up and soothing them, will not spoil them

Having cuddles, will not spoil them

We know that the safest place for your baby to sleep in on their own in their own sleep space. Therefore yes we have to help them learn how to stay asleep once they are down, it doesnt mean we need to let them scream and cry until they fall asleep from exhaustion.

If we respond to their needs, if we reassure them when they are upset. Then we will teach them to sleep safely in their own sleep space. Does it happen on the first try?nope!!! it takes practice and some times it will be easier than others!!

They key is to recognise when you holding them is causing difficulties at sleep times, and lets be honest.... It can give real arm ache when you are holding a growing baby for a long period of time.

If you are feeling like you are finding it tricky to put them down to sleep, and you find it hard to listen to them cry then lets chat and let me support you and stop that numb arm feeling you are getting :) with less tears!
