Baby Sleep Consultant experts
Babies and their sleeping habits are our passion
Baby Sleep Consultant was born in response to the huge need for professional in-home 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
