Support when you need it most
Gentle Baby Sleep Support for Exhausted Parents
Feel more confident during the early weeks with your baby — personalised in-home baby sleep support across Edinburgh, the Lothians, Falkirk, Stirling & Glasgow.
Welcome
Helping You Through the Sleepless Nights With Calm, Practical Support
Sleep deprivation can affect every part of family life.
When your baby isn’t sleeping, everything feels harder — your recovery, your mood, your confidence, and your ability to cope day to day.
You may find yourself constantly second-guessing what’s “normal”, trying different routines, or feeling like nothing is working.
You are not alone in this.
As an experienced newborn care practitioner with a midwifery background and Doula UK training, I provide gentle, in-home baby sleep support to help you understand your baby’s sleep patterns and create calmer, more manageable routines for your family.
This is not about strict sleep training or leaving your baby to cry — it’s about supporting both you and your baby in a way that feels calm, responsive, and realistic.
What Is Baby Sleep Support?
Baby sleep support helps you understand your baby’s natural sleep patterns and how to gently encourage better rest for the whole family.
Many parents search for help when they are experiencing:
“newborn sleep problems”, “baby won’t settle”, “no sleep newborn”, or “sleep consultant near me”.
My role is to provide reassurance, practical strategies and in-home support tailored to your baby and your parenting style.
Every baby is different — so there is no one-size-fits-all approach.
How I Can Support Your Baby's Sleep
Newborn Sleep Guidance
Understanding newborn sleep takes time. I can help you understand:
- Newborn sleep cycles
- Day and night confusion
- Wake windows (gentle guidance)
- Sleep cues and tired signs
- Safe sleep practices
- Settling techniques
- Creating calm sleep environmentss
Gentle Sleep Support
If your baby is struggling to settle or waking frequently, I can help you make sense of what’s happening. Support may include:
- Reviewing daily routines
- Identifying sleep associations
- Gentle settling techniques
- Supporting self-soothing in a responsive way
- Adjusting daytime rhythms
- Creating realistic sleep expectations
Overnight Sleep Support
When you are exhausted, even one full night of sleep can make a difference. Overnight support allows you to rest while I care for your baby in your home. This may include:
- Settling and resettling during the night
- Feeding support (if needed)
- Monitoring sleep and comfort
- Creating calmer night-time patterns
- Supporting parental rest and recovery
Support for First-Time Parents
Sleep challenges can feel especially overwhelming when everything is new. It’s completely normal to feel unsure about what to do or worry that you’re “doing it wrong”. You don’t need to figure it out alone. I offer calm, experienced reassurance alongside practical support so you feel more confident in understanding your baby’s needs. Many parents tell me that having someone in their home who understands newborn sleep makes everything feel more manageable.
