Baby Sleep Consultant experts

Babies and their sleeping habits are our passion

Baby Sleep Consultant Training was born (10 years ago) in response to the huge need for professional in-home and online support for babies and children who don’t sleep well.

Our philosophy is focused on understanding the science of sleep. Once you know why a child sleeps the way they do, the solutions are clear and you will be much more successful in helping sleepless families! We believe:

Every family has the right to adequate rest
Every mother and father has the right to be the very best parent they can be
Every child needs sleep, it’s a biological necessity not a luxury

What our training consists of

Our students are trained on:

Providing a holistic approach to infant and toddler sleep with healthy sleep hygiene as the foundation for all sleep issues.
Being able to demonstrate and explain new-born sleep to parents in a manner that suits their individual parenting style.
Understanding the most internationally recognised baby sleep training practices.
The science of sleep for new-borns, toddlers and children.
Family situations and dynamics, nutrition for infants and toddlers, developmental milestones, sleep environments, children and adult temperaments, sleep associations, circadian rhythm and its effect on nap timing and safe sleep practises.
Offering an objective assessment to assist in developing healthy sleep habits that are age and developmentally appropriate for their clients’ lifestyle, needs and values.
Providing an in-depth understanding of sleep challenges and the solutions that are available, including acid reflux, eczema, low weight gain, feeding tubes, foot/hip casts, blindness and deafness.
Understanding of normal lactation, working with lactation consultants and knowing where to get help if needed.
