Question 1

What methods do you use?

Accepted Answer

I use a gentle, staged, and evidence-backed sleep training method that prioritises your baby’s emotional well-being. No one-size-fits-all solutions here, just a personalised approach that works for your family. My goal? To help your baby learn independent sleep skills while ensuring you feel confident and supported every step of the way.

Question 2

Will my baby cry?

Accepted Answer

Let’s be real, babies cry because that’s how they communicate. But no, I won’t ask you to leave your baby to cry alone. My approach is gentle, responsive, and designed to give your baby (and you!) the support needed to make positive sleep changes. Some protest is normal, it’s their way of saying, “Hey, this is different!” but you’ll always be there to reassure them.

Question 3

What age does my baby need to be?

Accepted Answer

I work with infants from 5 months to 5 years

Question 4

When can I start?

Accepted Answer

When we have had our discovery call and decided that we can help you, you will fill out routine logs for me for 3-4 days. We will have a consultation and we can start building a tailored sleep plan to start your better sleep journey straight away.

Question 5

Will sleep training affect my bond with my baby?

Accepted Answer

Not with the way we do it.  Our approach focuses on connection, reassurance, and responsiveness, all of which strengthen your bond.

Question 6

My baby only sleeps on me. Can you help?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We can gently shift habits while still meeting your baby’s need for closeness and connection.

Question 7

What qualifications do you have?

Accepted Answer

I’m an OCN certified infant sleep consultant with specialist training in gentle sleep approaches and safe sleep practices.

Question 8

Will I have to stop breastfeeding or feeding overnight?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. We support feeding choices and work around your baby’s needs and your preferences.

Question 9

What if my little one gets ill during sleep training?

Accepted Answer

We know how tough it is when your little one isn’t feeling well and sleep training can feel even trickier during those times. If your child becomes unwell, it’s absolutely okay to pause and offer them the extra cuddles and care they need. You’re not “going backwards” you’re just being the loving, responsive parent they need at that time.

That said, if your little one has mild symptoms (like a runny nose or teething discomfort) and you’re comfortable, you can continue with some parts of the sleep plan, especially the falling asleep routine. Sometimes sticking with those familiar steps can actually feel reassuring for them.

Ultimately, there’s no pressure. We’ll go at your pace, and I’ll be here to help you decide what feels right for your family in the moment.
