Hello, I’m Hayley

I’m a certified Infant Sleep Consultant and mum to a 3 year old and a 1 year old (and still very much feeling in the thick of it, yes).

When I had my first baby I felt like a total deer in the headlights when it came to his sleep. Absolutely no clue. In the early days he never liked to be put down to sleep and would only ever sleep on us or in the sling. I was running on empty whilst also frantically googling and searching for answers to help us, because I worried that it was all a problem and that I was creating bad habits. I felt so overwhelmed by all the information and ‘advice’ which was often very conflicting. Looking back now I know it was all completely normal what he was doing and that we were doing the right thing by simply responding to his needs.

I have become very interested and invested in infant sleep since becoming a mum and passionate about helping other parents make sense of it all on their own journey.

You are the expert on your own child and I encourage you to trust yourself and your baby and do what is right for you and your family. However, if things are not feeling very sustainable currently and you want to make some changes to improve sleep for you all, then there are gentle and responsive ways in which we can do it together.

My approach to infant sleep and supporting you and your family

• Breaking down all the noise and myths to understand how your child’s sleep actually works, based on biology and evidence.

• Untangling societal expectations with education on what is normal and age appropriate infant behaviour.

• Approaching every child and family in a unique way considering a multitude of factors which could be impacting sleep (a holistic approach).

• Empowering you on being the expert on your child and to feel confident in knowing it is ok to make changes, should you wish to.

• Providing truly gentle and responsive sleep strategies that you are comfortable with and that are sustainable for your family (and without having to ever leave your child to cry).
