About Us•
We believe that the first months of parenthood should be enjoyable not stressful, and not nearly as exhausting as many parents experience. With the right information and some simple tools, you can quickly learn to calm any crying and help your baby sleep much longer. We also believe that many parents are suffering unncessary sleep deprivation, with older babies and toddlers who are not sleeping through the night. Night-waking can usually be solved in less than a week, and the whole family will really benefit from a full night's sleep. Recent research has shown that 50% of post-natal depression cases could be resolved if mum gets a full night sleep, as sleep deprivation is so closely linked to depression. So there is a very compelling reason for teaching babies to sleep as soon as possible. The Sleep Store is owned by Louise Tanguay and Matt Anderson, Auckland parents of Jack (5) and Tom (2), and Ben (born April 08).
Louise and Matt used the same techniques with Tom, which they found great for calming his crying from reflux, as well as helping him sleep through the night by 7 weeks old.
And new baby Ben is not only getting to use Dr Karp's techniques, but lots of lovely wraps and merino night-wear from The Sleep Store! Jack and Tom are both great sleepers and happily share a bedroom lit up by several . Ikaboo night-lights! Louise and Matt are delighted to bring the world's best baby sleep solutions to New Zealand parents through this website. The Sleep Store's product range is sourced from around the world, and many of them are not available elsewhere in NZ.
We are members of the Australasian Sleep Association and the Infant & Nursery Products Association of Australian. In addition The Sleep Store is a member of the Auckland Chamber of Commerce.
Louise's background is in senior retail management, including Channel Productivity Manager at Telecom and General Manager Retail at Hallensteins. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Education, and a Post Graduate Diploma in Business Administration. Matt's background is a variety of roles with the Accident Compensation Corporation and the British Medical Assn. He holds a Master of Arts in Philosophy.
