Kind words

Families supported by Ciara

"Ciara worked with my family to help with my 10-month-old's sleep. Before working with Ciara, my son had never slept through the night and would wake very early at 5am. Ciara provided simple steps to implement, with guidance throughout. Within one week, my son was sleeping through the night and staying contently in his cot until 7am. This has been one of the best steps for us. Our son is happier and well rested since improving his sleep, which would not have happened without Ciara's support."

Hannah

"Thank you so much for all your help and support. Your guidance, encouragement and patience have made such a difference for all the family. Ollie settles himself now by 7.30pm with no rocking to sleep required, and I get more time with my older boy and my husband in the evenings. You explained everything so clearly and were always there to answer our questions, which gave us so much confidence. We are all getting more sleep now, and it has had such a positive impact on our daily lives."

Aoife

"We worked with Ciara and she was amazing. She is patient and got to the root of our sleeping issues with our little boy. He took to his new routine with a few small tweaks that she suggested, and we have not looked back since. I would 100% recommend Ciara and the service she is offering."

FAQs

Questions parents often ask

What ages do you support?

Calm Cradles supports families with newborns from 4 weeks, babies from 4 months and toddlers up to 4 years. Guidance is adapted to your child's age, temperament, routine and stage of development.

Which service is right for my family?

Newborn Sleep Shaping is for early foundations from 4-12 weeks. Sleep Training Support is a fuller two-week package for babies from 4 months and toddlers. The Sleep Guidance Consultation is best for families who want a focused consultation without ongoing support.

Is your approach personalised?

Yes. Ciara uses a detailed questionnaire and consultation to understand your child, your family circumstances and your parenting values before suggesting any approach.

Does sleep training harm attachment?

No. Research from large, well-controlled studies shows no long-term negative effects on attachment.
