Hi, chances are you are on my page because yourself or someone close to you is struggling with infant/toddler sleep. It is one of the biggest issues parents face and one of the first questions we ask one another "how are they sleeping?"
Yet we are given such little, if any information on the facts surrounding sleep and the best practices to ensure sleep times are a positive experience. I am a mother of a wonderful little girl and not so long ago was also in a position of despair and sleep deprivation. This all turned around for me when I reached out and got the information and tools I needed to establish positive routine and equip my daughter to sleep well. I am a paediatric nurse so healthy and safe sleeping are at the forefront of my practice. I understand where you are at and urge you to take the necessary steps to put happy back into your home and relationships.

Let’s get this straight.
Babies aren’t “learning not to cry” through supportive sleep training.
This is a devastatingly damaging claim with no proof when related to supportive sleep training.

You’re not teaching your baby that you “won’t come” you’re still responding day and night.
You’re guiding, supporting, and helping them develop new sleep skills ones that are supportive of healthy sleep habits and ones that are sustainable not withdrawing love or care.

Attachment isn’t determined by a single approach to sleep. In fact our children’s mental and emotional well-being is largely dependent on rest, repair, restore.
Attachment is an ongoing relationship, built through thousands of everyday/night moments of connection, comfort, and responsiveness.

There are no“silent homes” Most people would know somebody who has done sleep training and I know for a fact after 11 years and tens of thousands of clients no one ever told me their baby just didn’t cry any more and that was that. Supportive sleep training is simply changing what they associate or have become reliant on to get to sleep when it is no longer serving them. It is simply changing a pattern actually I would love to call it sleep remembering instead of sleep training. Little ones are born with the ability to sleep but when we continuously play certain roles and those things become a problematic learned pattern or association it’s is reminding them they don’t need to cry every 2 hours for the same habit. They can get into restful sleep.

The number one determinant of a child’s attachment and long-term outcomes is maternal well-being.
Sleep deprivation is one of the biggest contributors to postpartum anxiety, depression, and difficulty bonding.
When parents are supported and rested, they can show up calmer, more regulated, and more attuned and that’s what builds secure attachment.

Supportive sleep work isn’t about leaving your baby, it’s about helping the whole family thrive.
Let’s stop the fear. Let’s stop the guilt. Let’s support both babies and parents.

✨ Hands up if the 4-month sleep regression is kicking your butt! I see comments all the time that absolutely break my heart for parents in this time. It’s normal, they will grow out of it one day, it’s teething, it’s just the beginning of bad sleep for years. This absolutely doesn’t need to be the case!

You know the drill:
👉 Short naps that never link
👉 Night wakes every 1-2 hours
👉 Rocking, feeding, patting on loop
👉 Everyone saying “it’s just a phase” while you’re running on fumes

Here’s the truth: the 4-month regression isn’t just a rough patch, it’s a permanent shift in how your baby sleeps. And unless you know how to work with their new sleep cycles, you’ll stay stuck in the loop of exhaustion.

That’s exactly why I created my Free 4-Month Regression Guide. It’s been downloaded by thousands of parents who wanted clarity, confidence, and actual strategies that work.

So now you’re in the feed-to-sleep cycle… and it’s fine… until it’s not.

One day you realise you’ve become the human pacifier—deep down you know it’s not hunger, not even comfort anymore… it’s habit.

You’ve read the guides that say feed, play, sleep. You’ve tried. It didn’t work. Because when feeding to sleep is your baby’s way, it can feel impossible to break.

Especially when they then won’t feed properly. Did you know this is an are a e specialise in.

Remember nothings wrong unless it’s not working or not sustainable and EVERYONE deserves great quality sleep 🫶

Dropping a nap isn’t always as straightforward as it seems What looks like nap resistance can actually be your little one needing a little more awake time, or simply moving through a tricky phase.

The truth is: babies don’t always just make a seamless drop when it comes to nap transitions. Some days they’ll need the nap, other days they won’t and that’s normal.

✨ Here’s the key:
➡️ Adjust awake windows first
➡️ Protect their sleep pressure
➡️ Don’t rush the process

And here’s the best part, you don’t have to figure it all out alone.
With Bambii, our all-in-one sleep + feed + solids app, you’ll get:
Real-time nap predictions
Clear awake-time countdowns
Integrated feeding & solids tracking

No more guesswork, no more mental load — just clarity on when your baby is truly ready to drop a nap (and when they’re not).

Yesterday I finished working with a mum who reminded me so much of my own journey and it made me reflect on the past 11 years.

When Scarlett was born, I thought I was ready. I’d been a nanny, a paediatric nurse, and always dreamt of motherhood. But nothing prepared me for a baby with reflux, CMPI and endless unsettled nights. I felt helpless, anxious and like I was failing.

Everything changed when I reached out for sleep support. For the first time, Scarlett was settled, happy and thriving and I could finally enjoy being her mum. That transformation sparked my life’s work: helping families go from survival to joy through gentle, responsive sleep solutions.

Since then, I’ve worked with tens of thousands of families around the world, trained in Circle of Security and neurodivergent sleep, grown a team of health professionals and had two more children of my own.

I didn’t create a program to “sleep train.” I created a program to sleep remember. Because every baby is born knowing how to sleep sometimes they just need a little reminder. 💛
