You probably already know Susie Amy – perhaps from Footballer’s Wives or maybe from Hollyoaks or as a stage actress (we recently saw her in Fatal Attraction).  We do too, but we are also lucky to know Susie via a mutual friend who gave her a gift of some time with Claire when her first baby was born. Susie didn’t feel for a while that she was ready to use this gift straight away – she felt instead that her baby didn’t like / need sleep and was just a bit different! When Claire spent some time with Susie and her family a routine was introduced and they haven’t looked back! 

We talked to Susie about: 

  • The importance of sleep (and how more sleep means better sleep)! 
  • When Claire had worked with her and Raff to introduce a routine - they stuck to it like glue and responded to their baby’s sleep signals, Noa immediately responded! 
  • How predictability is important to all of us and how Susie has found the children’s routine helpful for her as well. 
  • The responsibility of having a baby feeling huge, but how just a few tweaks and a routine can help so much. 
  • Trusting your instincts as a parent. 
  • Being nap trapped and how it doesn’t have to be a negative thing! 
  • Restorative naps and where these work best. 
  • Morning, bedtime and bathtime routines and how important they are from the start. 
  • How the best gift for a new parent is support!
