Real-life sleep support for tired families

Hello tired parent - I´m glad you’re here!You’re here because your exhausted, overwhelmed by all the information out there and looking to find something that actually works. Welcome, I’m so pleased your here.I help families who are running on empty find their way back to real, sustainable sleep. Whether you're deep in the 4 month fog or stuck in a toddler bedtime battle, we'll figure out what's actually going on and build a plan that fits your family, not someone else's.

Baby Sleep

Exhausted parents don't need to just push through. Wait it out or cry it out?
How about a 3rd option?

Frequent night wakings. Bedtime battles. Early risers. Short naps. Feeling completely touched out by 7pm. Whatever you're navigating, "it'll get better eventually" isn't a real plan and you don't have to just survive it.When working with me, you will receive grounded, judgment-free and realistic support that has been delicately shaped around your family, your parenting style, your values, and what actually works for your child's sleep.I do not believe in generic, or one-size-fits-all approaches.

Why Choose The Little Sleep Consultant?

Truly bespoke, not a template.

Every plan starts with real data so recommendations are built around your child's actual sleep tank and temperament, not generic milestones pulled from an app or an Instagram chart. You'll get options, not ultimatums ensuring the plan fits your family's life as well as your child's needs.

No one-size-fits all; I use a range of different methods.

Methods are chosen to match the child in front of us, there is no one-size-fits all here. If a child is already responding well to in-cot settling, or if parents are especially sensitive to crying, that shapes the approach from day one. I do not use "cry-it-out" (aka extinction), nor do I use pick-up-put-down.

Evidence-based, Science-backed.

Every recommendation is grounded in sleep science, backed with current research within the infant sleep world. Research is available on request for parents who want to see it for themselves.

Daily check ins and non-judgmental support all the way through.

You get a scheduled call to walk through the plan together, and constant access to me (even over night) for the duration of your package. I am on hand to make tweaks, guide you through the tricky parts and help build your confidence so you can move through your little ones sleep without me.

Melissa - Sleep Consultant

How does it work?

1Book a free discovery call

Book a call for a time that suits you using the "book your free call button" above. This is a chance for me to learn exactly what issues you are facing and what your goals are. It is also an opportunity for you to ask questions and make sure I am a good fit for your family.

2Sleep log and Questionnaire

If you decide to go ahead, I will set you up with a live, real time tracker for you to record all your child’s sleep, moods and if necessary, feeds across 7 days. You will also be sent a questionnaire which helps me understand your family and your little one in more depth.

3Bespoke sleep plan

Using all the information from our initial chat, questionnaire and the sleep log, I create your bespoke plan and send it to you in PDF form, in advance of our sleep call; ensuring you have time to go through it in depth before we speak again.

4Sleep Call

A 1 hour call to go through the plan in a way that suits you. An opportunity for you to ask any questions, discuss any changes that would work better for you and for me to go through the key parts ensuring you fully understand the process and there is no guesswork for you when you start implementation.

The Plan of Action

After the sleep call, you are on your own to implement the plan solo. There is no further involvement from me.

A Little Help

I support you for 1 week through daily check ins via whatsapp messages and voice notes. I am able to see your sleep log in real-time, meaning I can make any needed tweaks before you have even woken up for the day.

A Lot of Help

I support you for 2 weeks, ensuring any remaining snags are sorted and you are feeling as confident as possible to move forward solo. You also receive an "end of plan" email which includes a "before & after" and some useful information for how to handle sleep as your little one grows.

Package options

Support Packages

A lot of Sleep Consultants tend to offer just one plan… but what if you just need a little bit of help, there should be support on offer for you too!It is a good idea to have an idea in mind of how much 1:1 support you would like before our call. I can also give you my recommendation during that call once we’ve discussed your current sleep issues.

And after the plan...

A little one that can settle independently after a routine of connection and quality time together. No more dramatic, drawn out bedtimes that leave your patience paper-thin.

The confidence to be able to leave them with another family member to put them to bed, giving you the opportunity to do something for you, whatever that looks like.

The tools and knowledge of how to handle wonky days, danger naps, holidays, visitors, teething, developmental progressions and everything else the first years brings. No more anxiety about "messing it up".

Waking up in the morning feel refreshed and ready to be a more energetic, patient parent knowing that they will take predictable naps and go to bed at a reasonable time.

Whatever your sleep goals are, I will help you get there
(as long as they are realistic, of course!)

Hi! I’m Melissa

I am a Mum to 2 little kiddies, the first of whom is my reason for doing the job that I do.As a first time mum, I struggled horrendously with the fact that this little, beautiful force of nature had entered the world and wasn’t sleeping in the way the internet hold me he should be. Why weren’t the wake windows working? Why did he only take cat naps? Why was he waking up so early. It must be me, right?The thing is, my little boy was actually an incredible sleeper, but because he didn’t fit the charts and the apps, I became obsessed with trying to make him fit it. And he just didn’t.So I became an OCN certified sleep consultant, I read all the studies, I looked at the reasearch and then it started making sense; baby sleep is not one-size fits all. Babies are individuals, they have indicidual personalities and needs that deserve a tailored approach.I will not be the coach to tell you that your baby has to only do cot naps, or that they need 500 naps per day to avoid overtiredness. I am the coach who builds a plan around your life and your babies own individual needs and personality.

Our little girl was almost 2 when I reached out to Melissa, after a very positive recommendation from a friend. We had struggled with her sleep for almost two years, and with baby number two on the way, I knew it was now or never to try and get things back on track! From the very beginning, Melissa was incredibly positive, reassuring and supportive, and made us feel confident that it absolutely wasn’t too late to make a change. Before working with Melissa, bedtime could take up to an hour of rocking her to sleep. Naps would only happen in the car or pram, and she was completely dependent on Mum to settle. Fast forward just one day of following Melissa’s sleep plan, and she was falling asleep independently — and, even more amazingly, happily letting any family member put her to sleep! As a Mum and Dad, we’re still in disbelief at the difference it has made. We honestly didn’t think we could get to this point, and the impact it has had on our whole family has been amazing. We would highly recommend Melissa to any parents who are struggling with their little one’s sleep. She has been absolutely brilliant, and we’re so grateful for all her help and support!.

Melissa came highly recommended from some friends who had used her service, and we can see why! We went from hourly wake ups from bedtime to sleeping through the night in a week!! Melissa's approach was holistic, supportive and evidence-based. Our sleep and evenings have completely changed for the better and our little boy is thriving with sleep now. Wish we'd found her sooner!.

I cannot thank you enough! We started working with Melissa (The Little Sleep Consultant) around three weeks ago. I was nervous to begin with, but she thoroughly went through my goals and what I wanted to achieve. My goodness, did she help me reach them all by the end of it! I feel much more confident, and I'm incredibly grateful. Our little one is sleeping amazingly... and so am I! Could not recommend more. .
