Sleepy Sweet Pea Sessions

In this episode I'm joined by Robyn of @robynsnestcafes and @thebusinessnest who I had the pleasure to support when her daughter Avery was 5 months old ... and now she's 2!

Robyn shares her story from discovering she was pregnant, navigating maternity leave and running a business during lockdown and of course her sleep struggles turned sleep success.

Robyn's Nest Cafe is located in Moss End, Warfield and runs weekly baby groups as well as holding child friendly events throughout the year. Robyn's Nest Cafes (robynsnest.co.uk) (@robynsnestcafes)

Robyn also runs The Business Nest, small business networking and mentoring.

Sleep Associations are not all bad!

Sometimes they become unsustainable because your child needs you to recreate that 'thing' multiple times throughout the night.

In this episode I talk you through how you can start to move away from the sleep associations that are no longer serving you.
