Can anyone recommend a sleep nanny in Surrey?

[Sutherlandgirl]

Hello

I have recently had a baby and for the past three weeks my previously brilliant at sleeping toddler has been an absolute nightmare at bedtime - getting out of bed, screaming, slamming his door a couple of times a night. I realise that this is normal toddler behaviour but just cant cope any more. I really need someone to helpe plan a course of action and guide me through it.

Can anyone recommend a sleep nanny in the Surrey area?

Thanks so much.

Hey
Have you posted on Gumtree & Nannyjob? If not do so. Also have you looked at going through an agency

What have you tried? Have you got a partner / husband who can help you deal with toddler? Have you put a stairgate on toddler's door or done that rapid return thing? I wouldn't get a professional in after only 3 weeks tbh.

I am really not sure that outsourcing is the way to go on this problem.

Your toddler is showing signs of disruption because his life has been.....disrupted! By the arrival of a new baby, by the diversion of mummy and daddy's time onto a new human being, by a liiving, breathing, crying little sibling.

If you try to get a sleep nanny in on the act, it will only reinforce his impression that you have no time for him, that you prioritise your new baby and that he is being shoved away.

Can you wear the new baby in a sling or scarf in order to be able to do activities with your toddler?

I think you need to work out a way of ensuring his needs are met by you or your partner....as well as the needs of your new baby. A sleep nanny will not be meeting his needs except on a purely practical level (ie she can carry him to bed, read him a story but the emotional reasons for his disruption will not be addressed.)

I have to agree with Greythorne to a point but you may find the millpond sleep clinic helpful. They can give advice over the phone.
