Sleep expert to meet Cork parents to help develop a sleep routine for babies

Paediatric sleep consultant and author Lucy Wolfe will join ieParenting at the Douglas Court Shopping Centre next week for a talk on helping your child drift off to the Land of Nod.

How to support your child's natural ability to sleep — without ever leaving them to cry alone.

A good night's sleep is often one of the first casualties of becoming a parent. A straight run of seven to eight hours of sleep quickly becomes a distant memory.

The dream goal is to help your baby establish a sleep routine. So you try every sleep-hygiene trick in the book — a warm bath, dimmed lights, a cool bedroom. But your little one isn't interested — not when there's a bottle to digest, wind to be released or the added challenge of being overtired or teething.
