Hi, I'm Lauren McQuade,

Founder of Ready Steady Sleep Consultancy and fellow mummy to my little man and whole world, Wills. Like many new mums my journey into motherhood wasn't 'dreamy' and what I envisaged it would be by any means. I had a very unexpected, traumatic birth experience, leaving me with a physical recovery which lasted weeks and an emotional recovery which lasted months. My little man got off lightly thank goodness, with only a few, facial bruises. As a new mum, I felt overwhelmed and burnt out, despite having the best husband, friend and family support network I could ask for. You know that saying, 'no one can prepare you for a baby'- I am sure like me you heard it a thousand times whilst pregnant. But, its true! As magical as it is becoming a parent and the one thing I would never change for the world, its bloody hard! Made even harder when your little one doesn't sleep well, like my Wills once... but not any more!

So, what did I do?

My husband and I decided that enough was enough after I returned to work full time after only 4 months maternity leave as a Deputy Headteacher of a primary school, and there were days I was Acting Headteacher and could barely function; that is when I realised, enough was enough. I was catching every germ under the sun being surrounded by other children all day and having low immunity as a result of sleep deprivation and I had no energy. I knew I could no longer be Will's rocking aid during the night every night, aimlessly swaying in the pitch black having to prize my my eyes open. So, we sought support from a sleep coach and it was LIFE CHANGING. My only regret to this day, is that we didn't do it sooner. Wills started sleeping through the night, as did we. I felt like my old self again; my immunity improved and I was living life to to the full. This is when I realised that I'd love to help ot
