Faced with ongoing challenges, Emma explains how these experiences pushed her to an alternative to the traditional “cry it out” method, shaping the gentle approach she now champions. Emma breaks down what gentle sleep really looks like in practice, offering clear, practical guidance on sleep hygiene and age-appropriate sleep needs. She shares helpful benchmarks for how much rest babies and children need during the day and overnight, along with realistic, Nanny-friendly tips that can be applied immediately. The conversation also turns to the role of Nannies in supporting better sleep. Emma offers grounded advice on working collaboratively with parents while caring for a child who struggles to settle, and explains why Nannies are often in a strong position to lead positive change thanks to consistency, routine, and a step-back perspective.
