I realize that I don’t often introduce myself here on my page and for a while have struggled to keep up with posting, replying, creating relevant content due to a busy private practice, as well as being a mum of four children who keep me on my toes.
For those of you who don’t already know- My name is Lucy Wolfe and I am a Sleep Consultant, Co Creational Parent and Relationship Mentor, I am the author two books, online course director of Lucy Wolfe Sleep Plans and brand owner of Sleep Through Bed and Body Sleep Spray and Relaxing Rub brand.
I am a final year Masters student in the Psychotherapy of Relationship Mentoring, (LIT). My current research is an exploration into the lived experience of first time Mums; giving voice to the challenges of early Motherhood.
I have been in practise for over 10 years.
My work is focused on helping parents to establish positive sleep practices for their children from birth to 6 years.
Parents can opt to work with me in a number of ways that are detailed via the link in my bio.
My sleep approach takes every facet of your child’s story into account and I help inform and identify core reasons that may be affecting your child’s Sleep Ability, and by making appropriate changes gently unlock their natural, inherent sleep skill set, enabling them (and you) achieve a deeper, more rested and less interrupted sleep overnight and to nap well during the day too when they are developmentally ready to do so.
I love chocolate, walking, and the sea. Taylor Swift, takeaways and nice clothes. I love the colors yellow and pink and being impulsive.
My oldest son is 19 and my youngest son is 10. My daughters are 14 and 16.
I have 3 brothers and 2 sisters. I live near my parents, who are a very cute couple.
I have been married to Alan for 23 years, we met at 17… and we are currently binge watching married at first sight, before that it was below deck!!!
Is there anything you would like to know about me?
Moving your toddler into their own big bed is an exciting time for both you and your child. This transition highlights your child’s growing maturity, independence and ongoing development and is a real landmark of the next phase. As it is a big adjustment, I will always encourage parents’ careful consideration about when the right time to make this change might be. In association with @dfi_beds I have created a guide that will help you make informed decisions- linked in my stories. DFI beds have a full range of adult and kids beds available for free express delivery.

I am delighted to announce that I am working with @babyannabelluk , the UK’s number one nurturing doll brand, as part of their Ask the Experts campaign, helping to foster positive sleep practices within your family.
When my children were younger Baby Annabell was a big part of our family - she is life-like, with a range of interactive features and accessories that meant that my children created and imagined so many situations, games, playdates as well as modelling mummy, leading to hours and hours of fun, and learning.
We know that our children learn through play and we can help instil positive emotions, feelings and attitudes about bedtime and sleep, by helping our children, learn, understand and become invested in their own “sleep happiness” with Baby Annabell and the Sweet Dreams collection. Which includes a crib that rocks and plays soothing music.
Over the next few weeks, we will be sharing quality content – both written and live - to help support your sleep journey. #ad #babyannabell #babyannabellasktheexperts

The reality of parenting. ❤️ what did you vow never to do but found yourself rowing back on that fairly quickly?
From my friends @babyeleganceire Nurturing and protecting our little ones comes second nature and at the heart of everything we do.
We now know how important it is to offer our planet the same protection so we can all enjoy its precious gifts for many generations to come.
Baby Elegance pledge to plant a native tree in one of their Little Buds Forests for every @babyeleganceire cot or cot bed purchased.
They have recently planted 6,500 native trees in our first Little Buds Forest and hope to plant 25,000 native trees across Ireland and the UK over the next 12 months.
For more information and to follow their little buds forests grow just follow the link in my stories. #brandambassador
All our children are different from each other- unique- individual - never to be repeated. There’s no such thing as perfect any thing - don”t let that concept undermine your gorgeous relationship. Embrace and honor their individuality. Find your rhythm together. Focus on Love. Loving responses and what feels right for you.

Nearly 70% of you today have reported night time sleep challenges: understanding that waking is typical especially in the early days is helpful, but also, providing fertile ground to help your child begin to cycle through some or all of their night time sleep phases especially from 6 months onwards: Some changes that may help for you 6 month plus aged child include:
💤enough day time sleep for age and stage
💤correct balance between naps- equal distribution between nap 1 or 2 - or nap 2 longer than nap 1
💤Age relevant wake period between last nap and bedtime
💤Adequate activity, connectivity and varied diet
💤All drinks- breast, bottle, cups of water - finished 45m BEFORE sleep time and provided in the living room
💤A bedtime routine in the bedroom that you child sleeps in
💤A sleep friendly environment
💤Going into their cot completely awake and being able to put themselves to sleep and if they cannot then to use my staged based staya and support approach
💤A predictable, planned response overnight making a decision about night feeds as age/stage appropriate-
💤remembering that sleep is behavioural in nature and the waking is often reinforced by your responses like feeds that may no longer be needed, changing of sleep locations for example

A date with yourself. ❤️❤️ I just loved hearing about this pregnancy suggestion to go on a date with yourself before everything changes.
I started this practice myself after reading Julia Cameron”s The Artist’s Way. She suggests a weekly block of time “committed to nurturing your creative consciousness”… take yourself out… give yourself space, listen to yourself, give yourself that much needed attention.
I know it’s easier said than done with all the busyness of parenting-but i will say it makes a huge difference to me and to my family ❤️❤️✨✨
So…do you want to go on a date?
Ok friends-please add your insights and suggestions for this parent hoping to put her two children in the same room. Give me your best work 😉❤️ it really helps others if you add your experience ❤️❤️
…..And sometimes now, there is just one.
This is Harry- he’s my fourth child - 10 years ago he was 8 months old and my other children were 8, 6 and 4 years old.
There was never just one- always four - never just on my own with one- always with four. ✨4✨4️⃣✨
Four out of bed, four to get washed and dressed. Four for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Four into the car, four out of the car. Four different laughs, four different people to fight each other and with me. Four into the shops, four out of the shops. Four to visit friends, four out for an adventure, four ice creams, four drinks, four bars. Four different levels of upset, four emotional and physical needs to be met. Four into the bath, four into pajamas, four hugs, four kisses, four bedtime routines, four into bed. Four✨4️⃣✨4
Now the older three are 18, 16 and 14 and they each have jobs this summer, they have friends of their own and plans that don’t include me.
So sometimes there’s just one. 1✨1️⃣
Me and Harry.
It’s positive and it’s negative, it’s heartwarming and heartbreaking. It’s true.
Now there is sometimes four… sometimes three….sometimes two….and often one.✨✨❤️❤️
