Still not sure?

If we’re doing a phone or email consultation, the first step is about getting to know you and your child; we’ll ask you lots of questions about their current feeding and sleeping. This is all done completely without judgment, as we’re simply trying to get to the bottom of your challenges.

From there we’ll provide you with a very detailed and individual sleep assessment based on your baby’s sleep environment, sleep patterns, settling techniques, feeding times and much, much more. When you have this assessment, it’s up to you when you start making changes. When you begin to implement these, you’ll send us activity logs every couple of days so that we can assess what is going on for your baby; we’ll attach notes and further suggestions and send them back to you (or chat to you over the phone if you had booked a phone consult) so that, together, we can get your baby sleeping well.

When you book an in-home consultation, the process is similar but more in-depth. This makes it a good option for more complex sleep challenges. The other difference with the in-home consultation is that it’s more hands-on; we’re there to physically and emotionally support you to and to help you with the process of getting your child to sleep. The same one week of follow up support comes with all the different packages; however, additional support is available if needed.

There is a lot of information out there and it can all seem a bit overwhelming sometimes – especially if you’re struggling with sleep deprivation too! When you’re tired, it’s hard to see the wood for the trees and even if you have some idea of what you need to do, it can still help to have this broken down, or actually shown to you.

Our sleep consultants blend the latest developments in the science of sleep to customise an approach for your child – one that also takes into account your personal views, philosophies and practices around parenting. We provide a plan, a solution, and an explanation. Think of us as being like all the books combined; we’ve done the research for you and can help you to practically put it to use.

Unlike a book, we can also answer questions and are able to easily change course mid-week or tweak routines, as needed, to suit you and your baby. Our training and experience enables us to see the changes that need to be made, spot errors that need fixing and, ultimately, help you with your baby.

We work with any parents who value their own, and their family’s, sleep, and would like help with improving their baby’s sleep habits. No matter your parenting style – whether you’re an AP parent or more mainstream – and whether you’re a first time mum, or a third time mum, an adopted parent, or a parent of multiples… either way, we’re here to help!

Of course! Our approach is to empower parents with knowledge, and not to force anything on you. All of our consultants work to help parents to achieve the changes they need for the healthy sleep of the whole family, without compromising their parenting style.

Whatever is working for you, if you’re happy – keep doing it. However, if you think your child’s sleep could be improved for the health of your family, we’ll provide advice and support to guide you to improve your child’s sleep habits and practices.

We have tried and tested ‘no cry’ solutions that can support your baby or toddler to learn how to sleep better and longer independently. The process doesn’t always happen without any tears shed, however. If you have a wilful child, or your baby has some very deep rooted sleep associations, they may cry as you sleep train them. That said, you don’t have to leave them to cry alone in their cot – our consultants will guide you through this in a way that works for both you and your baby.

Absolutely not! If you are breastfeeding, then we are committed to supporting that, and we would never encourage you to stop breastfeeding in order to achieve a better sleep. We have just as many breastfed babies who are sleeping as well as formula-fed babies.

Not unless you want to – you certainly don’t have to. We work with parents who have their child’s cots pushed up against their beds, babies who sleep in with the parents at night and their own rooms during the day, or babies who are established in their own rooms – any combination is fine.

We believe that sleep is important – for you and for your children – and that every family has a right to be achieving the quality sleep they need. It’s OK to ask for help. Working with a trained baby sleep consultant is usually about changing the associations that your child has with sleep, so that your whole family can achieve optimum sleep health and all function at your best.

We’re not ‘baby whisperers’ – if anything, we’re more like ‘parent whisperers’ – empowering you with the knowledge, guidance and reassurance you need to support your child to be a better sleeper. In this way, the changes that you’re able to make for your family can be maintained for the long-term.

A good sleep forms the foundation of our waking lives. You will have no doubt seen the impact that sleep has on your mental health, as well as a range of physical wellness indicators. The same goes for your children; their development, nutritional intake and behaviours are intrinsically linked to the quality and quantity of their sleep.

Many families find that dealing with a sleep challenge also helps with feeding/eating or behavioural issues – even, in some cases, with other things like colic. Let a quality sleep lay the best possible foundation for your child to reach their potential.

While your child is absolutely unique and individual, there are not as many different sleep challenges as there are children; many experience a series of the same things. Because our approach is based on the latest research into the science of sleep, and all of our solutions are evidence-based, so as long as families commit to implementing suggested changes in a way that works for them, they will see results.

Even in the remarkable cases, where a child has a serious illness, or may have suffered from a brain injury or the effects of a parents’ addiction, positive changes to their sleep are able to be achieved.

Sleep deprivation is a form of torture and while many people think it’s a rite of passage to joining the parenting ranks, the early years of parenting don’t need to be fraught with lost sleep.

So many families are suffering and it’s hard to be the parent that you really want to be when you are that tired, let alone maintain your relationships or function well back in the workplace. Sleep is absolutely vital for our health and wellbeing and, with some simple and sustainable tweaks, your family can be back to achieving the sleep they need.

While it perhaps used to take a village to raise a child, it’s no longer common to have an extended family all raising children under one roof. What we think of as our intuition is actually largely taught, and in the absence of those wider traditional support networks, Baby Sleep Consultants provide the reassurance and guidance amidst what can feel like an overload of information.

Sleep is as important to our health and wellbeing as food, however we often don’t give it the same sort of energy and attention. Research surrounding the science of sleep is ongoing and we now know so much more than ever before about what it means for our overall health. In 2016 the World Health Organisation (WHO) released official guidelines around the sleep needs for children and how these relate to obesity, proving once again that sleep’s impact on our health is significant and that the role that it plays for our wellbeing starts from a very young age.

As Registered Training Providers, responsible for training sleep consultants from all over the world, our methodology is sound and our process is stream-lined. Our approach and ideas are all grounded in the latest developments and research surrounding sleep science and all of our solutions are evidence-based.

We understand that there’s no magic bullet either when it comes to solving sleep challenges. The families we work with achieve incredible transformations in their children’s sleep, but they are also committed to the time it takes to achieve these.

We love nothing more than watching the transformation in parents’ mental health and confidence as they gently sleep train their babies – and they love seeing what they can achieve throughout the process also! We often hear that “it wasn’t as hard as I thought it was going to be”, or “I wish I had called you sooner!” Some have even said that they’re having a second baby now, because of us!

While we don’t necessarily think what we do warrants a superhero cape, we love that we’re genuinely helping parents and know they often see us as lifesavers. To see more of what the people we’ve worked with have to say, check out our testimonials.
