1. Chronic sleep issues: If your infant or toddler consistently has trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking frequently during the night, it can lead to exhaustion for both the child and the parents. A sleep consultant can provide guidance and strategies to address these issues and establish healthy sleep habits.

2. Prolonged sleep regressions: Sleep regressions, which are temporary disruptions in sleep patterns, can occur at different stages of a child’s development. However, if your child experiences prolonged or severe sleep regressions, it may be helpful to consult a sleep expert who can provide tailored advice and support.

3. Difficulty with naps: Napping difficulties, such as short or inconsistent naps, can affect a child’s overall sleep quality and behaviour throughout the day. If your child consistently struggles with napping, a sleep consultant can help you develop a nap routine and establish a nap schedule that meets your child’s needs.

4. Transitioning from co-sleeping to independent sleep: If you have been co-sleeping with your child and want to transition them to sleeping independently, a sleep consultant can guide you through this process. They can offer techniques and strategies to help your child adjust to their own sleeping space and develop self-soothing skills.

5. Nighttime feedings or dependence on sleep props: If your child relies on nighttime feedings or sleep props (such as pacifiers, rocking, or nursing) to fall asleep and has difficulty resettling independently, a sleep consultant can assist you in gradually weaning off these associations and establishing healthier sleep routines.

6. Exhaustion or parental well-being: If the lack of quality sleep is significantly affecting the well-being of the parents or causing significant stress within the family, consulting a sleep expert can be beneficial. They can provide personalized strategies to improve sleep for the child, which in turn can lead to better sleep for the whole family.
