Monaghan. My interest in sleep started with my own experience as a parent. Like many families, we went through a mix of sleep struggles - long stretches of broken nights, co-sleeping that didn’t really help, driving around in the car for hours, and following advice from apps and books that never seemed to stick. I wanted to support independent sleep, but I was unsure how to do that without lots of tears, and felt overwhelmed by all the mixed messages out there. After the birth of our second child, we finally reached out for support - and things changed. With the right information and approach, sleep started to improve. That experience led me to want to learn more and eventually support other families through their own sleep journeys. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621922cc97bb9879f42ea1ff/4a6c446c-af19-411c-b842-d20532178d65/Untitled+design+%286%29.png About - Sleep consulting is not a regulated field, and over time, I’ve seen just how much misinformation is out there - especially online. That’s why staying evidence-based and continuing to learn is so important to me. I want the families I work with to feel supported by information that’s honest, realistic, and not only shaped by my experience, but grounded in research. I am also a member of The International Association of Child Sleep Consultants. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621922cc97bb9879f42ea1ff/eeef5a25-5391-4c08-86c1-101c85442ce2/Untitled+design+%287%29.png About - There’s often a lot of noise online suggesting that all babies need is constant contact, and that waking frequently at night is something parents should simply accept. While connection and comfort are important, so is sleep. Babies need quality sleep to grow, develop, and feel their best, just like we do. When parents get the rest they need, they’re able to enjoy parenthood more fully and feel their best. Taking care of your own sleep helps you support your child’s wellbeing and creates a happier, healthier home for everyone. https://www.mellowchild.ie/home daily 1.0 2025-10-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621922cc97bb9879f42ea1ff/fe495749-c16d-439c-b737-0be2e4968a4f/FSI+certification+mark.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621922cc97bb9879f42ea1ff/fde081c9-8c0c-4bbd-9edb-95e4e6c4503c/IACSC+member+badge+revised.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621922cc97bb9879f42ea1ff/973e5f74-d858-4d16-8991-afcb32819175/Member+logo+2024-25+%282%29.png Home https://www.mellowchild.ie/contact daily 0.75 2024-02-15 https://www.mellowchild.ie/faqs daily 0.75 2025-12-04 https://www.mellowchild.ie/my-approach daily 0.75 2025-11-05 https://www.mellowchild.ie/sleep-services daily 0.75 2026-01-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621922cc97bb9879f42ea1ff/f669a443-a616-4aa0-87d5-0795562e0bee/Untitled+design.png Sleep Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621922cc97bb9879f42ea1ff/1707914762753-O6QDT087UC0X2KAGSIZT/Untitled+design+%283%29.png Sleep Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621922cc97bb9879f42ea1ff/cdbc38c4-8dc7-4219-83f2-0158ee6a1268/Untitled+design+%284%29.png Sleep Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621922cc97bb9879f42ea1ff/1762360012145-9NTWB7W1EXZ9XD4XTY8F/unsplash-image-fiWshslUTFw.jpg Sleep Services https://www.mellowchild.ie/sleep-assessment-call daily 0.75 2025-04-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621922cc97bb9879f42ea1ff/f669a443-a616-4aa0-87d5-0795562e0bee/Untitled+design.png Sleep Assessment Call - Sleep Assessment and Advice Call A 30-minute phone call to discuss your child’s sleep challenges - no matter their age or stage.
