What does a baby sleep consultant actually do?
Three things, and the first is the one parents underestimate. First, diagnosis: looking at the whole picture — schedule, settling habits, feeds, naps, temperament, your parenting style — and identifying what's actually driving the problem, which is rarely what it looks like at 2am. Second, a plan: not a generic method, but specific steps for your baby, in an order that works. Third, support while you implement: daily adjustments as your baby responds, reassurance through the wobbles, and course-correction so one bad night doesn't sink the whole thing. (How It Works)
How much does a sleep consultant cost in the UK?
Broadly three tiers: single consultations from roughly £80–£150 — useful for one specific question; one-to-two week support packages around £200–£500, which is where most families land, because implementation support is where results actually happen; and premium or in-home packages from £500 upwards. Compare packages on what support during implementation looks like — a beautiful plan with no follow-up is where most cheap options quietly fail. (Sleep Consultant Cost UK)
Is a sleep consultant worth it?
The honest answer: not for everyone. If your baby's sleep is mostly fine and you have one small question, an article or a single consultation may be all you need. It's worth it when you've been stuck for weeks or months, tried the free advice, and each attempt half-works then collapses — because that pattern almost always means the diagnosis is wrong, not the effort. What you're paying for is the correct change identified in days instead of discovered by trial and error over months of broken nights — and the confidence of not doing it alone.

How do I choose a sleep consultant?
Four filters. Method: make sure their approach matches your instincts — if you don't want cry-it-out, choose someone who genuinely doesn't use it, not someone who'll "soften" it. Certification: a recognised paediatric sleep qualification, and safe-sleep guidance built into everything. Support model: ask precisely what happens after you receive the plan — daily contact, or a follow-up call in two weeks? Fit: you'll be messaging this person from the trenches; choose someone you'd actually want there. (How to Choose a Baby Sleep Consultant)
What happens when you work with me?
My approach is gentle and responsive — no cry-it-out, ever — built around a full assessment of your baby and a plan matched to your family. Then we implement together, with daily WhatsApp support, adjusting as your baby responds so you always know what to do next. Most families see improvement within 3 to 5 days, and I back the work with a 14-night guarantee: if your baby isn't sleeping significantly better, I keep working with you at no extra charge. I support families across the UK, US and Australia, in English, Spanish and French. (Sleep Support; testimonials)
