Sleep Consultant
Hi, I’m Alex. I’m an NHS GP and certified infant sleep consultant. I set up The Good Sleep Club after struggling with my own little one’s sleep. After 6 months of sleep deprivation, I eventually reached out to a sleep consultant who changed our lives for the better. Following on from that, I developed a passion for infant sleep, and getting tired parents out the other side of the infant sleep trenches. . I now help exhausted parents like you, take control of your baby’s sleep once and for all, using gentle and supportive methods. You will see life changing results in 2 weeks or less!

Puddle Ducks - swimming lessons
💦At Puddle Ducks Chelmsford & North East London, we believe that every child should be able to keep themselves safe around water and, at the same time, should be given the opportunity to develop their cognitive, physical, social and communicative skills from a young age.
💦Puddle Ducks swimming lessons teach your child how to swim beautifully, and encourage a love and respect for the water.
💦Our swimming lessons are 100% child-led, giving your little one empowerment in the water, and never forcing. Our classes instil confidence, and offer the opportunity to practice personal survival skills in a fun and enjoyable way. We incorporate rhyme (our bespoke songs have been written by professional musicians) and movement, based on extensive child development research.
💦We run lessons for babies and children (from newborn to 10 years) in a number of specially selected pools in the Essex and Greater North London area, taught by highly trained and qualified teachers, who are experts at identifying children’s levels of ability and adapt activities to the individual, nurturing confidence and encouraging natural ability.

Our workshops
Our workshops provide you with the confidence and knowledge you need to tackle every day feeding issues with your baby, toddler and family.
There is so much to think about and worry over, so many questions and unknowns for a new parent to cope with – which is why our approach is unique! We provide support at every stage of the weaning process, from when you’re thinking about weaning through to ongoing help when you begin introducing solid foods to your baby.
We’re here for you and your little one when you’re both ready to start exploring food and discover a whole world of new tastes and textures together.
We will discuss everything you need to know about weaning during your 2-hour workshop including the following topics.
Â
Choking and gagging
Allergies
Blw and puree feeding
Dropping milk feeds
First foods and when to offer
Portion sizes
Example schedules
Which liquids to give my baby
How to prepare food for your baby
Which equipment might be useful (yes, a dog is great at clearing up the mess!)
