I welcome the new evidence-based HSE child health website for parents and carers of infants and children. It is very important. Many of the consultations were done on Skype and that could be further considered. Simple things such as blackout blinds, a routine and diet are effective but we are trying to highlight the problem because most parents are so busy they do not realise there is some small issue that may be of assistance, nor that there is a lot of help available. I only realised the extent of the issue when I raised it three weeks ago on the Order of Business and many fellow Senators and even the Cathaoirleach asked for the phone number of the sleep trainer. I then realised this is a problem across the country and we should articulate, highlight and advertise that there is help and advice available. My baby, her mother and I are now sleeping much better at night.
