Welcome
Overnight Sleep Nanny Support in Edinburgh
Bringing a baby home is life-changing — but the lack of sleep in those early weeks can feel overwhelming.
As a sleep nanny in Edinburgh, I provide calm, overnight support to help families rest, recover, and feel more confident during the newborn stage.
Whether you're struggling with broken sleep, feeding schedules, or simply need time to recover, I offer practical, hands-on overnight baby care tailored to your family’s needs.
My role is to support you through the night so you can sleep knowing your baby is in safe, experienced hands.
How Sleep Nanny Support Works in Edinburgh
Every family is different, so support is tailored to your situation.
Support is flexible — from occasional nights to more regular overnight care depending on your needs.
This can include:
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.
