Sweet Young Child

Sweet Young Child supports parents navigating the emotional and practical challenges of caring for a baby or child who cries frequently or has sleep difficulties. Founded by Anne Kies, an orthopedagogue, certified sleep coach and parent with personal experience of a baby who cried extensively, the brand combines professional knowledge with an understanding of the realities of family life.

Its services include the online course and coaching programme Blij met mijn (huil)baby, which helps parents manage feelings such as exhaustion, helplessness and guilt. The focus is on strengthening parents’ wellbeing and resilience, rather than promising to stop a child’s crying. For babies aged six months and older, Liefdevol slapen offers individual consultations or coaching programmes to help families understand sleep needs, establish routines and address sleep challenges. The approach is gentle and structured, prioritising attachment, safety and each child’s signals, without using “cry it out” methods. Sweet Young Child also shares articles, practical advice and parent stories. Support is tailored to each family’s circumstances, pace and needs.
