sleep support

Bedtime battles, frequent night wakings, and early risers ... we can help you with your tricky little sleepers!

Thousands of books, websites, apps and gadgets promise to improve how your little one sleeps.

But there is no substitute for personal support and guidance from your own sleep consultant - someone who has met you and your child.

We are with you night by night, step by step.

We empower parents to put our strategies into practice in their own homes, and we support them day by day through every step of the process.

We draw on a broad experience range and certified Gentle Sleep Coach qualifications. All our sleep packages offer::

  • We offer several weeks of follow-up time with all our sleep programmes, during which we’ll be walking with you every step of the way. We are constantly in touch with you and will always be flexible and understanding.

  • We will only suggest a tender, thoughtful approach – we actively avoid any harsh, stressful methods

  • We focus on suggesting strategies which are appropriate for the child’s biological and developmental needs. This is very important to us.

  • As well as keeping in touch with clients by phone and text, we make use of phone and video recordings to help you gain insights into your bedtime/night-time/naptime routine. Sometimes clients even ask us to listen in by phone at bedtime!

  • You can rest assured that we are fully empathetic with your specific feeding & parenting choices.

  • After the initial consultation we provide an action plan for you which considers your child as an individual, and as part of your unique family unit.

  • As graduates of the Holistic Sleep Coaching programme founded by Lyndsey Hookway, we follow closely sound evidence on how babies and children sleep.

Our Parents’ Sleep Experiences

Lou - you are the baby whisperer! We've been using your sleeping techniques with our twins every day. The advice on their sensitivity to noise was also really helpful - you have opened our tired, bloodshot eyes. The twins are sleeping better, smiling more often.

— Neil, Daddy to Reuben & Ash aged 7 months

We contacted The Baby Experience after struggling with K's sleeping for months; we already knew Sarah from hypnobirthing so felt very comfortable with her and also I knew she would help us find a 'kind' solution, that didn't involve everyone crying. Sarah has been very understanding, reassuring and non-judgemental. Not only did she instantly come up with a much better routine and action plan that is making a big difference, she has really helped and advised on behavioural issues. Sarah's experience with children is inspiring, K. has enjoyed her visits as much as we have and having a friendly voice on the end of the phone throughout this process really helped”

- Grace, mummy to K, 17 months

“We were so grateful for Sarah's support and advice in helping our son get the sleep he needed! Her reassurance that we were doing the right thing by staying and supporting him was what we needed to help us all feel rested”

— Rebecca mum of 1 year old boy

“A miracle has happened...Ava has been sleeping in her cot in her own room..I can't believe it.

Thanks for your intervention and support, we needed an external person who we trusted to get us back on track.

It's great, we've got our bed back and I managed my night out just before Christmas!”

— F and D parents of Ava aged 11 months

“I couldn't believe it and kept waking up and checking the monitor. It was like real magic that completely changed her. She was now also more happy to be by herself after waking up, rather than immediately starting to cry.
Your method really worked and it has completely changed my life. I really appreciate your advice and can't thank you enough”

— Lois West London

We could go on…

“After meeting you, I tried your technique of picking her up, waiting till she stops crying and putting back down again. It did take whole 2 hours of back and forward from 4-6 am, but I didn't give up and she finally fell asleep. Like a complete miracle, the next night she slept 12 hours without waking up!”

— A and baby Mara (7 months)

You helped us enormously with our toddler. The approach was very relaxed and helpful. After visiting us they helped to devise a plan that would work for our family. Our daughter was up late at night playing until 9 or 10 pm refusing to stay in her room. I was also still feeding her to sleep! Together we created a plan where she was well fed before a bath, then smooth transition of story then bed. Once my husband & I were on the same page & following a clear Baby Experience Sleep routine our toddler was soon able to settle herself to sleep & sleep through from 7:30 pm until 6:30am”

—  Helen mum of 20 month old girl

“We battled for months with our son's 4am wake up calls. After a tough period of sleep deprivation we decided to seek professional help & contacted Lou & Sarah. After analysing our son's sleeping habits & behaviour, they quickly identified issues. At the home visit we discussed their findings & they observed the first half of his bedroom routine. After discussion we came up with some 'quick win' changes that we could implement in the interim & then draft a long-term plan. The changes came quick. In a few days our son was sleeping through until 6am, we were over the moon.

The Baby Experience Sleep plan was very thorough & detailed, and we have been in regular contact with them to discuss changes/tweaks/how we're getting on. You can't put a price on a good night’s sleep, but this service is very competitive & a pleasure to work with. Couldn't recommend their services enough”

— John, Sara & Jay 2 (2+ years)
