Laura Hirst - Founder of Press Snooze Sleep Consulting
Hi I'm Laura
I am a baby sleep consultant in Derbyshire and I spent my maternity leave as a first time mum in lockdown, struggling with broken sleep, feeling anxious not knowing how long our son would sleep for before waking up repeatedly. I would have no time in the evenings to relax with my partner and I wasn't getting a break in the day due to my son only contact napping.
Most nights he would wake every-single-hour. The world was living through a global pandemic and we just wanted our family to be as healthy as possible and knew that meant we all needed our sleep! Gradual, responsive sleep training saved our nights, helped us all get the sleep we needed and kept us healthy and thriving.
Maternity leave isn't a holiday.... as a new mum you are providing care for your new baby, adapting to life as a new family and (just as importantly) recovering from labour. Throw in sleep deprivation and it can feel so lonely.
My Sleep Philosophy
I believe good sleep is as vital for our well-being and health as good nutrition and hydration is.
I also believe as parents we want the best for our child's emotional and physical development. We are doing our best.
There is no shame in seeking and accepting support in raising our children to be happy and healthy.
We are expected to just struggle on, especially through maternity leave when you are adapting to life as a new family. As parents WE need the support and time to recover and rest too.
My Approach
I specialise in supporting babies aged 4-14 months to Fall asleep (self settle) rather than have to be Put to sleep, using a gradual and responsive approach over 2-3 weeks.
I design a sleep routine tailored to YOUR family, created to fit YOUR baby's individual sleep needs, rather than a generic "one size fits all" style of support.
When I help families my support is personalised around real information on their baby's sleep, based on my comprehensive online sleep questionnaire to understand your family's current situation and challenges, and the data you provide via an easy to use sleep app to log your baby's sleep and feeding schedule.
This combined information then allows me best help you and your unique baby.
Optimal sleep is created through:
CUSTOMISATION
Looking at how much sleep your child needs over 24 hours, how long they are capable of being awake for and what is going on biologically for their age.
CONSISTENCY
Creating small routines to help your baby know when it is coming up to the time they will be sleeping, maintaining small habits and holding boundaries. Consistency helps everyone to feel trust in situations and our children look to us to know what will happen next and feel more confident and comforted.
CONNECTION
When your child is given the chance to be autonomous with you by their side they build on new skills.
When your baby can Fall asleep rather you Putting them to sleep should they wake up between sleep cycles (which begin around 4 months also known as the 4 month regression )they can go back to sleep without depending on sleep associations such as; rocking, feeding, contact naps, co-sleeping or using a dummy.
You can provide their nutritional needs AND teach them to self settle to sleep after the feed through the night. You do not have to stop breastfeeding.
Meaning you can rest easy (literally!) knowing you are meeting your child's needs.

TESTIMONIALS
What others parents are saying
"Loved the improvements!"
"My only regret is that we didn't come to Laura sooner. We went from having no evening as my daughter wouldn't settle until 10pm, then wake again at 2 and take hours to settle again, to our daughter being asleep by 7.30 and sleeping through the night. We also had problems with naps, my daughter only sleeping for 40 minutes at a time and taking up to an hour to get to sleep. She now has a 2 hour nap.
"Our life changed for the better."
"Amazing! So helpful I used her services for both of my children. 1st slept through from 6 months and 2nd slept through from 8 months😄"
"Highly recommend Laura"
"I couldn't recommend Laura at Press Snooze enough.
After messaging Laura at 3am out of desperation, right from Laura's first reply I instantly felt I was in good hands. Laura's patience, empathy and understanding instantly started to put me at ease and feel confident that things WILL get better.
Thank you Laura x"
