If you're an exhausted parent wondering whether it's time to reach out for help with your baby’s sleep, you're not alone. Sleep challenges are one of the most common struggles for new families — but knowing when (and who) to ask for help can feel overwhelming.

Laura Halsey - Qualified holistic baby and sleep consultant based in London and available online.

As a gentle, holistic sleep consultant based in London, I support families locally and online with a kind, responsive approach that never uses cry-it-out.

Here are 10 signs that working with a sleep consultant like me could be the next best step for your family.

1. Your baby wakes up constantly through the night

Frequent wakes every 45-90 minutes are common, but exhausting. Often it's linked to sleep pressure, dysregulation, or a schedule mismatch - all of which can be gently supported.

2. You’re spending hours trying to get your child to sleep

Rocking, feeding, pacing the hallway... if bedtime feels endless and stressful, something’s not quite working. A gentle review of your baby’s sleep environment and rhythm can make a huge difference.

3. Naps are short, inconsistent, or feel like a daily battle

If your baby is only napping for 20-30 minutes and you’re watching 'wake windows' like a hawk, I can help you stop second-guessing and build a more sustainable rhythm.

4. You’ve read every sleep tip, but nothing is working

If you’re caught in a spiral of conflicting advice from books, blogs, and forums - it’s time to step away from generic info and get support tailored to your baby.

5. You want someone to really listen to what’s going on

Holistic sleep support isn’t about rules or one-size-fits-all methods. I look at your baby’s sleep patterns, family dynamics, feeding, and temperament — and build a plan that fits.

6. You want to improve sleep without cry-it-out

You don’t have to choose between supporting your baby’s emotional needs and getting rest. My approach is completely responsive and emotionally attuned.

7. You’re overwhelmed and just need a plan

Sometimes, just knowing what to try next can feel like a huge relief. Whether through a one-to-one call or the Digital Prenatal Sleep Pack, I can guide you through the chaos with calm.

8. You’re pregnant and want to prepare in advance

You don’t need to wait until you’re sleep-deprived to get support. My Digital Prenatal Sleep Pack helps expectant parents understand baby sleep before their baby arrives.

9. You feel anxious at bedtime - every night

When sleep becomes a source of stress or dread, it impacts your wellbeing. I help families rebuild a sense of confidence, calm and control around sleep again.

10. You want support from someone gentle, qualified, and real

As a qualified holistic baby and child sleep consultant based in London, I offer online sleep support to families across the UK and worldwide. No judgment. No cry-it-out. Just real, sustainable support.
