I didn’t have much knowledge or experience in how to care for a child, particularly when it came to their sleep. In the maternity unit, they assisted me with breastfeeding and how to bathe a baby, but they offered little advice on sleep!

Helen Armstrong taught me how to create a healthy sleeping environment for my son, which avoided letting him ‘cry it out’ or developing a deep dependence on me to fall asleep all the time.

She was always highly aware, open-minded and respectful as she helped me, which created a safe and calm place for all of us. As my son got older and more active, she helped me to create an environment that was natural and respectful of his own unique development.

Helen possesses a comprehensive knowledge of recent research, and uses that, as well as her knowledge of you, to help you create a healthy and happy home for your family.

Helen you are so talented! The amount of knowledge you have is amazing and I love how respectful you are towards babies.

Was so nice coming along with the girls and refreshing my memory of what I can be doing with them at home (now that I’m a mum I tend to forget what I used to do as an ECE teacher), so now I’m very inspired and have already been to Trade Aid searching for resources.

The girls had the best night sleep they have had in a long time after your class too! Thanks again, Billie and Harper can’t wait to come back.
