Gentle Sleep Solutions

Baby Sleep Consultant, Sleep Training New Zealand

Teaching a baby how to find their sleep isn’t always a walk in the park! Regressions, cat naps, growth spurts and more can all impact the way your baby sleeps.

Our qualified sleep consultant offers a proven no-cry sleep strategy which will help you all get a better nights’ sleep.

Our sleep consultant is a certified Happiest Baby Educator, and a certified Sleep Coach through the International Maternity & Parenting Institute.

Her goal is to improve sleep for your entire family. We focus on creating a comprehensive, gentle sleep plan, which will never include extinction sleep training like cry-it-out or controlled crying.

Instead, we focus on gentle yet effective strategies to improve the wellbeing of your whole family.

Our sleep consultant offers phone, group or in-home consultations to help with baby’s sleep habits. We find spending a few hours with you in your environment is far and away the most effective means to implement positive change and help your baby find their sleep.

We cover topics such as:

  • The sleep environment
  • Swaddling
  • Sleeping in the first two weeks
  • Feeding & sleeping guides for newborns
  • Routines
  • Growth spurts
  • Sleep regressions
  • Coping with a crying baby
