The pre and postnatal education provider The Baby Academy has introduced a sleep consultation service to help new parents establish a workable routine for their babies.
The one-to-one ‘Ultimate Sleep Package’ aims to provide personalised and expert guidance for new parents in helping babies achieve the right amount of rest.
The service provides three 45-minute video consultation with a sleep consultant to identify sleeping patterns, a personalised sleep guide, access to online consultations, as well as guidance and 24/7 email support.
According to the NHS, newborn babies require a total of around eight to 16 hours of sleep per day. However, establishing a consistent sleep pattern can often be a source of stress for parents.
Sleep is essential for development as the brain needs this time to lay the foundations for important skills with poor sleeping patterns being shown to negatively impact the development of social skills, cognitive performance and even later quality of life.
The Baby Academy offers courses, including antenatal classes, hypnobirthing, development and first aid, alongside an expert team of healthcare professionals aiming to educate and empower parents throughout all stages of their babies development.
Susan Hogan, co-founder and chief education officer of The Baby Academy, said: “We are delighted to announce the arrival of our Ultimate Sleep Package to the Baby Academy’s services.
“How and when your baby should sleep is one of the most daunting elements of new parenthood, but through our new online solution, we believe it can be a stress-free endeavour, with the right professional support and advice provided by qualified consultants.”
The Baby Academy is an online resource for new and expectant parents, available in Ireland, the UK, US and Canada.
The company has recently announced plans for expansion after its digital platform reached one million users.
