Question 1

When should I seek help with my baby’s sleep?

Accepted Answer

When questions persist, sleep is significantly affecting family wellbeing, or it is difficult to know what is developmentally expected. If there are symptoms or health concerns, contact your child’s healthcare professional first.

Question 2

What ages do you support?

Accepted Answer

Guidance may begin during pregnancy and cover childhood sleep questions up to age six. Suitability is confirmed during your initial enquiry.

Question 3

Is support only for babies?

Accepted Answer

No. Sleep continues to change throughout the early years and support may include babies and children up to age six.

Question 4

Can consultations take place online?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Online consultations can take place from home, in Portugal or abroad. Availability is confirmed before booking.

Question 5

Does my child need to be present?

Accepted Answer

Not always. The important thing is for caregivers to be able to talk calmly. Your child’s presence and the session arrangements are agreed beforehand.

Question 6

Do you use sleep training?

Accepted Answer

Support is not based on rigid programmes or methods that leave a child to cry alone. Strategies are gradual, responsive and tailored to each family.

Question 7

Will I have to leave my baby to cry?

Accepted Answer

You will not be asked to leave your child to cry alone. It would not be responsible to promise “no crying at all”: crying is communication and should be met with a sensitive, appropriate response.

Question 8

How long does it take to see improvements?

Accepted Answer

There is no universal timeline. Progress depends on age, development, family circumstances and agreed goals; no specific result or overnight change is guaranteed.

Question 9

Can you help with naps and night waking?

Accepted Answer

Yes. These topics can be explored in the context of age, development, routines and real family life.

Question 10

Are consultations available in English?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The website and contact are available in Portuguese and English. Please state your preferred language when enquiring.

Question 11

Can you support twins or siblings?

Accepted Answer

Twins or siblings may be considered together. Scope, duration and price are confirmed before booking.

Question 12

Does sleep support replace medical care?

Accepted Answer

No. Child sleep guidance is an educational, family-support service. It does not diagnose conditions or replace assessment or care by a doctor, nurse or other healthcare professional.
