Millpond is one of the UK’s leading authorities on children’s sleep, guiding and supporting the parents of babies through to teens to help their children sleep better.

What ages of DC?
GraceMD24 · 16/05/2021 22:03
Would this cover an eleven year old who struggles to sleep or is it just for younger children?

Hello
@GraceMD24 @Dozer Mandy is happy to take queries for children aged up to late teens. However she does say that with older children and teens, the child/young person has to be on board with the whole effort - it's not a change the parents can make entirely on their own (but then if you have kids this age you probably already knew that!)
@PictureWest Mandy is happy to tackle sleep issues with children who have autism or other specific needs - she just wanted to flag that in these cases she might need to ask questioners for a few more details about their child and the situation to identify the best course of action.

I never post reviews but...16 years ago Mandy helped me get DD to sleep through the night. I was completely broken and in three days she was sleeping for 12 hours, having woken at two hourly intervals for the whole 11 months of her life. The woman is a magician, I swear. And DD can now sleep for 14+ hours without stirring. So I can unreservedly recommend her advice to anyone who feels there is no end in sight.

Can she help with a still BF 21 month old who wakes for feeds in the night?
