Seda Barabiko EN – Uyuyan Bebekler

Hi dearest mummies,
I’m Seda Barabiko.I borned and raised in Istanbul.I live in Istanbul. I’m married and have a 2,5 year old son. I started primary, seconder and high school ,in Istanbul and graduated from Istanbul Kultur University as a Psychological Counselor.During my university education, I gor the MMPI, Child Assessment and Attention Test practitioner certificte.I had a part time internship experience with special children in the Research Guidance Center and with orphaned children in a private institution.Even before I graduated, I had the oppurtinity to make observations in more than one field.After my graduation, I started to work as a psychological counselor in a private college.

After a short period of time suprisingly we got the news that we were expecting a baby.

My sleep counseling journey has started partially when my son borned inFebruary 2020. Before my son, all I knew about a newborn’s sleep pattern was that they spent most of their time sleeping during the day.

Howewer, after my son borned, my expactations were not quite the same as the reality.Altough I struggled for hours to fall him asleep, even if he fell aslepp, he would either open his eyes immediately or if I’m lucky, takes short daytime naps that lasted for max 20-30 minutes and at night, interrupted sleeps were followes, which was also chaotic. When he woke up in the morning or from his short daytime naps.He was spending the whole day fussy,cranky and crying.

Neither my baby was happy in this situation nor us as his parents.Besides, As a first time mum I was mentally emotinally exhasuted and anxious. On the other hand, my helping resources were also very few as we were in quarantine during the pandemic period as a country.

So,I started to googling ‘how do I get my baby to sleep? All that I could found sleep training but I had not too much idea about sleep training at those times.

I desperatly contacted with any of them. My purpose was going to get remedy as soon as possible to help our little one. When my son was around 5 months old, had sleep trained and he had started to sleep independently in a short period of time.But with a little difficulty!!!!

and as a sleep counsoltant my journey has begun…

People around me who knew that we got sleep trained for my baby they contacted me because they were also dealing with insomina and looking for a cure for their babies.

When I started to told them about our sleep training experience as a mom, they asked bunch of questşons related to our sleep training and told me that it wasn’t fit their parenting style, it was a bit diffucult for them, and if there was more gentle method out there or not?

As a mum, they were totaly right about their concerns.I was feeling the same feelings, anxiety, mom guilt.But at those times I felt that there is no other choice except sleep training.I thought that all of the sleep training methods were the same but I wronged!!

So I started to search about more gentle methods for all of the parenting styles.

As a result of my research, I had the opportunity to meet Mrs. Güliz, the coordinator of International Parenting and Health Instute Turkey.

In that education model that it promised to help babies to get independent sleep habits without damaging the bond of trust between mother and baby, which I value the most.

After I ended up my certification process I started to introduce the holistic sleep approach to the families that who try to cope with insomnia as a family.So I offer to parents help and support with infant and child sleep concerns.

But How???
As a holistic sleep consoltant like me will look at the whole picture when it comes to helping you mum. Lay the foundations for improved sleep for both your baby and the rest of the family.

Holistic sleep aproach, babies slepp patterns, temperaments, family dynamics are different, finding the underlying message of each baby’s cries, evaluating the behavior of a baby all day long, meeting his physical and emotional need, without ignoring the emotional vitality of the mother.

It aims to reduce supported sleep habits with gradual and smooth transitions and allow them to sleep independently.

While providing this,it never leaves babies crying in a room alone, and allows them to pass the process on the basis of trust and compassion, knowing that their pimary caregiver is with them.

Most important, it dosen’t damage the basic bond of ‘trust’ between mother and baby.

Whether you want to feed to sleep, co-sleep, support your child sleeping in their own space, I’m here for you.

It’s an honour for me to be part of the transformation that takes place where parents find a more peaceful way to walk the sleep journey

You don’t have to do this journey alone, you don’t experience the loneliness and isolation like how I did with my little one. I will always respect that you are the expert on your child and you know what is best for your family.

My commitment is to support you with compassion, empathy, kindness and respect.
I look forward to walking along side you mumies….
