What does a baby and child sleep consultant do?
A baby and child sleep consultant helps you understand why your child is struggling with sleep and provides a personalised plan to improve things. I look at your child’s development, temperament, and your family’s needs to create an approach that feels right for you.
Do you support gentle sleep methods?
Yes. My work focuses entirely on responsive, emotionally safe sleep support that respects your child’s developmental and emotional needs. There is no “one-size-fits-all” approach—everything is tailored to your child and your parenting style.
Do you work with neurodivergent children?
Yes. I have extensive experience supporting autistic and neurodivergent children, as well as those with medical or developmental complexities. My approach is always flexible, individual, and sensitive to each child’s unique needs.
What age range do you work with?
I support families with babies, toddlers, older children and teens. Sleep challenges can arise at any stage, and I tailor my approach depending on your child’s age and development.
Do I have to leave my child to cry?
No. I do not use “cry it out” methods. My approach is gentle, responsive, and focused on helping your child feel safe and supported while learning to sleep more independently.
How long does it take to see improvements?
Many families start to see improvements within the first few days, but every child is different. Some situations take a little longer, particularly where there are more complex needs. I will always guide you on what to expect.
What if my sleep plan doesn’t work?
My success rate is over 98%, but every child is unique, and there can sometimes be factors outside of our control.
What I can promise is that I will bring all of my experience, care, and attention to supporting your family, and we will work together to find a way forward that feels right for you and your child.
Will I have ongoing support?
Yes—depending on the option you choose, I offer varying levels of ongoing support. Families find this so reassuring – having me close by as gentle changes are made.
Can you help if my child has additional needs or a complex situation?
Yes. Many of the families I work with are navigating more complex situations, including medical needs, developmental differences, or big life changes. My approach is always thoughtful, flexible, and tailored to your child.
💛 A little reassurance from me
However difficult things feel right now, you’re not alone. Even if your situation—or your child’s needs—feel complex, there are gentle, effective ways forward.
Whether you’re reading my books, exploring my self-guided sleep plans, or working with me one-to-one, you can trust that my advice is kind, evidence-based, and always free from judgement.

"Andrea was fantastic in helping my one…
Andrea was fantastic in helping my one year old sleep through the night. He was still waking 2-3x a night and needed a lot of help getting to sleep. Andrea’s method was gentle (no cry it out!) and she’s very compassionate and understanding. My son is now reliably sleeping through the night and putting himself to sleep. I’ve already recommended her to friends and family!"
"I can’t recommend Andrea highly enough
I can’t recommend Andrea highly enough! From the very beginning she was warm, supportive, and genuinely lovely to work with. As tired parents, we felt completely reassured by her calm, practical advice and the way she tailored her approach to suit our baby and family.
Andrea’s guidance was easy to follow and made such a difference in a short space of time. Within just a couple of weeks, our baby was sleeping through the night, which honestly felt impossible before we started working with her!
Not only is Andrea incredibly knowledgeable, but she is also kind, encouraging, and always happy to answer questions along the way. The improvement in our baby’s sleep has had such a positive impact on our whole family, and we’re so grateful for her support.
If you’re considering working with a sleep consultant, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Andrea. She has been fantastic from start to finish."
"Expert guidance that truly worked!
We reached out to Andrea when my husband and I were desperate and exhausted of interrupted sleep of our 9 months old baby daughter. I was breastfeeding and I was told that breastfed babies wake up more frequently during the night and if I wanted to fix that, I needed to stop breastfeeding. With Andrea’s gentle approach, guidance and her follow ups, our daughter started sleeping throughout the night within days of her consultations. I still breastfeed her in the morning when she wakes up and in the evening when I finish work. She sleeps longer and independently during the day and at nights. So as parents, we are very pleased because we can sleep longer too and have more time for ourselves in the evenings when she sleeps. We chose the four weeks consultation by Andrea and it was excellent to have easy access to her guidance and receive feedback based on how our daughter responded to the change. My husband and I highly recommend Andrea, so I would say if you are seeking better sleep for yourselves and your children, reach out to her."
"We have used Andrea a few times for our…
We have used Andrea a few times for our 9 month old, from when he was 3 months. Andrea is so warm and compassionate. Her knowledge is second to none, and her advice has helped us through each of our babies sleep stages to get to where we are today. Our baby has had the same routine, implemented by Andrea since 3 months old which means he has always gone to sleep so independently. I can’t thank Andrea enough for all her help when we needed it most. Thank you. Xx"
"Excellent service
We are really pleased with the service we received from Andrea Grace. We were looking for a quick solution to our sleep troubles from someone who could give us clear and supportive advice. Our baby was 6 months old and had been waking up to 8 times a night for >3 months and we were really struggling. Andrea helped us break the "feed to sleep" cycle and we went from waking every 1-2 hours to sleeping for >7 hrs within 4 days.
The follow up service was excellent; she was always easily contactable via WhatsApp or email and had multiple solutions to any problems that arose."
"Andrea was incredible
Andrea was incredible - she is warm, compassionate and gives you a solution tailored to your specific context as opposed to just repeating guidelines. Her decades of experience really come through and she literally transformed the sleep of both my children"
"We sought Andrea’s advice for our 17…
We sought Andrea’s advice for our 17 month old great sleeper, who suddenly decided to wake multiple times in the night, and wouldn’t settle down at all at bedtime. After two weeks of sleeping beside the cot, we decided to speak with Andrea and her advice was absolutely invaluable - I was shocked at how she had our daughter sleeping peacefully again after just two nights of sleep training! My only regret is not reaching out for help sooner. We would absolutely, wholeheartedly recommend Andrea, she truly is a miracle worker!"
"Once again Andrea saves the day
Once again Andrea saves the day! This is the second time we’ve contacted Andrea for help (the first time was with our eldest daughter). By night 3 of following her trusted advice our little one was sleeping through the night despite previously waking 2-3 times wanting a feed. As always Andrea was caring, understanding and knowledgeable!"
"I could not rate Andrea more highly and…
I could not rate Andrea more highly and would give 10 stars if I could! I spent many a night when up with my little one reading her reviews over and over and thinking could it work for us, and I’m so glad I took that leap of faith. I had tried different things before to help my little one sleep and followed all the popular sleep consultants online but nothing worked and they just felt inauthentic. Andrea had me reassured straight away with an easy to follow plan. My 11 month old baby would have woken 3 or 4 times on a good night, and anywhere up to 8-10 times on a more wakeful night. I didn’t mind but with going back to work coming up and also thinking about maybe having more children one day it was no longer ideal. On the first night of implementing the plan my baby only work once, and on the second night she slept right through! Couldn’t believe it! A first! And that is now the norm! Also all daytime naps had been contact naps and straight away she went into her cot with no issues. Honestly amazing.
My baby is still breastfed and I didn’t have to give that up. If you’re like me and reading this at 1am, 2am, 3am etc, honestly speak to Andrea!"
"Andrea showed great empathy and…
Andrea showed great empathy and understanding of our challenges with our two year old daughters sleep. Within a couple of nights she was sleeping in her own cot, through the night. Having been up several times in the night and regularly in our bed. It is not an understatement to say it has transformed our lives."
"Sleeping through after four nights
After almost eight months of very broken sleep, today I woke up from my third full nights sleep in a row, thanks to Andreas advice. I am so thankful. She is very experienced and knowledgeable - it just takes trust and commitment to the process and if you follow it, you get good results quickly. After four nights, my daughter is sleeping through the night 7pm - 6.30/7am. Obviously at this stage, it’s hard to know how long it will continue but this is the second time we have sought Andrea’s advice, so I am hopeful. She helped us with our son three years ago and after three (challenging but very necessary nights!) he was sleeping through and continued to. It was amazing.
We all sleep better and we are all much happier and healthier for it; it’s such a relief to know that the children are getting good quality rest. Thank you Andrea."
"It worked!
Andrea helped us on a couple of occassions and we saw improved sleep both times very quickly after implementing her advice. Andrea is very easy to work with, showed sensitivity towards our circumstances, and adapted her advice based on our wishes, so I would recommend her wholeheartedly."
"Exceptional professional with valuable insight
We are a family of a 2,5 year old, a 1,5 year old and soon a newborn. Both babies were struggling with a sleep routine, inconsistent naps during the day and multiple wakings in the night. There were evenings I would wake up 7 times with the children being awake for even for two hours at times.
Mrs Andrea wisely suggested that we purchase her full package which I fully recommend for families of more than one child. It included a very comprehensive first session (with a preliminary email communication giving her the required details to have a background of our children's routines & struggles), she gave us a detailed sleep plan for EACH child with specifics for bedtime schedule, bathing times, sleep accessories e.g. night clock for our toddler which she adores and most importantly a full month of weekly support with her either through online sessions or whatsup/email communication.
In our case, the weekly support was vital as each child's needs differed and especially our oldest who already had developed some 'bad' bedtime habits needed a few modifications on the initial sleep plan suggested plus our limitations based on our routine.
I won't lie, as any tired, overwhelmed parent of multiples with all the available resources and information from relatives and even google searches, I was hesitant and was rather contacting her in a final attempt to somehow improve both our children's and our quality of sleep as a couple. I was not expecting much even though she was highly recommended by a connection of mine. I was also very scared that she would be very opinionated on her methods and not understand our unique needs.
We were both suprised to see that her advice was unlike anything we have read online/researched ourselves. It was adjusted on our work schedules and the children's kindergarten programmes plus our unique demand being that most of the times a single parent is handling bedtime due to our work schedule, so alternative advice was given for those days.
I used to dread having to be alone for bedtime and I must admit that now it is something I feel very confident doing. From our perspective we highly recommend her and thanks to her, our evenings have become a pleasant night time routine for all 4 family members :)"
"Helped our daughter sleep independently
We sought Andrea’s advice after our 19 month old started refusing to go into her cot. Within a week our daughter was settling by herself without us being in the room and going down happily both in the day and night time. We even had a period of teething during our consultation period which Andrea helped us to navigate with little disruption to her sleep. Really grateful, would definitely recommend"
"Andrea is incredible!
Andrea is incredible! From our first meeting, her professionalism and empathy were clear. We had researched sleep advice to death but Andrea was very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of new information that was super useful to us. She really knows her stuff but managed to deliver her advice in a way that wasn’t patronising.
It took a while for us to implement her plan because of a house move and renovations, but she was flexible and patient with us. We went from our 12-month-old waking 8–9 times a night to nurse, to sleeping in their own cot with zero night feeds in just two days. Most importantly, this was achieved through truly gentle methods which was a priority for us.
Andrea was patient, adaptive, and always on hand for support. We have a velcro baby, so the nighttime wakings took a little longer to eliminate, but Andrea was always on hand for support and advice – she is very purpose-led and it shows in her work.
We cannot recommend her enough!"
"Life changing.
We sought Andrea's expertise shortly before Christmas. I admit as with any 'expert' I am a little skeptical and thought that our child's situation was too unique / individual for her to be able to help.
I was so wrong; within a week, after a relatively 'simple' change, everything was different. Before this we had tried friend's advice, forums and even ChatGPT for help, but none of it worked, not until we met Andrea. Everything was very child friendly, no tears, no drama, just perfect.
Thank you so much for helping our family.
Highly recommended!
"
"Andrea was really supportive
Andrea was really supportive, tailoring Theo's needs to create his personalised sleep plan. She is extremely knowledgable and has given my partner and I and our little one some much needed sleep, we couldn't recommend her enough."
"After experiencing several bouts of…
After experiencing several bouts of illness, our family began co-sleeping with our daughter to help her rest more comfortably. Although intended as a temporary fix, it soon turned into a routine. When she turned slightly over a year old, we realized we needed guidance to transition her back to her own space.Discovering Andrea was the perfect solution. From our initial meeting, her confidence in her methods provided us with immediate reassurance. She crafted a gentle, structured sleep schedule for us, complete with detailed instructions that were easy to implement. Her strategies worked so well that we hardly needed the continuous support she offered!We particularly appreciated Andrea’s avoidance of the ‘cry it out’ technique, which resonated well with our parenting style. Her compassionate and responsive approach boosted our trust in her plan.The outcomes were astonishing. On the very first night of using Andrea’s plan, our daughter managed to sleep in her own room. It feels unbelievable to say, but the transformation was that rapid.What truly distinguishes Andrea is her blend of expertise and heartfelt care for parents. She was professional and kind, handling everything with warmth and sensitivity. Her confidence stems from extensive experience assisting numerous families.This experience has profoundly transformed our lives. Our sleep has significantly improved, with our daughter going to bed at 7pm and waking up as late as 7am independently. The positive changes in our family’s well-being, our daughter’s temperament, and our peace of mind are beyond words.If you’re facing challenges with your child's sleep, I highly recommend Andrea. Her services are invaluable.

"Our daughter slept through the night on the very first night
After two and a half years of having to hold our daughter to sleep, Andrea Grace transformed our nights after just one Zoom call. We followed her guidance, and unbelievably, our daughter slept through the night on the very first night. Bedtime is now peaceful, and our whole family is finally getting the rest we needed. We couldn’t recommend Andrea more!"
"Andrea- highly recommend!
Andrea has been fantastic in helping my youngest child sleep through the night and establish a more consistent nap routine. I have two older children so I’m fairly clued up on baby sleep, but my daughter was a terrible sleeper and I really needed the extra help. Andrea’s advice was excellent and once implemented made a huge improvement within a couple of days! She is really lovely to speak with, she immediately puts you at ease and responds quickly to any questions or cries for help! Highly recommend!"
"I genuinely believe Andrea is magic
I genuinely believe Andrea is magic, she has completely changed our lives!
We had sleep trained our 8 month old daughter, but whenever she fell ill or was teething, we regressed back to breastfeeding to sleep and bed sharing. And even on the best nights, she would wake up 2-3 times. It felt terrible going through the cycle of sleep training over and over again, and after quite a bad cold she woke up probably every 45 minutes. I also couldn’t cope with the anxiety of bed sharing as I was so tired and worried I would roll over on to her. Andrea really listened to our concerns and gave excellent, gentle methods to get our daughter sleeping soundly again.
On the first night, she woke three times between 8pm-8am, and now just over a week later she is sleeping 8pm-6:30am, has a quick feed then sleeps again (on me) until 8am, but we’re working on it to get the full stretch! This is all in her own room in her cot too.
It has been absolutely worth every penny to precious sleep back 😀"
"A huge help
Andrea was a huge help in helping us navigate a tricky period when our 2yr old daughter struggled to settle at bedtime. She was responsive and patient with us. Would recommend"
"Life changing!!!
After several illnesses, we found ourselves co-sleeping with our daughter as it was the only way she felt comfortable enough to sleep. What started as a temporary solution became a long-term habit, and by the time she was just over a year old, we knew we needed professional help to transition her back to her own room.
Finding Andrea was the best decision we could have made. From our very first consultation, her confidence in her approach immediately put us at ease. She provided us with a gentle, well-structured sleep plan that was detailed yet easy to follow, along with ongoing support (which we actually didn’t need to use because her strategies were so effective!).
We especially loved that Andrea doesn’t use the ‘cry it out’ method. Her approach was compassionate and responsive, which aligned perfectly with our parenting values and gave us the confidence to follow through with her plan.
The results were nothing short of remarkable. After just ONE evening of implementing Andrea’s plan, our daughter slept in her own room. I can hardly believe it myself as I write this, but it truly worked that quickly.
What sets Andrea apart is not just her expertise, but her genuine care for us as parents. She was professional, kind, and approached everything with such warmth and understanding. She clearly knows what she’s doing and has the confidence that comes from helping countless families.
It’s not an exaggeration to say this has changed our lives. We all now sleep extremely well. Our daughter goes to bed at 7pm and wakes as late as 7am on her own. The difference in our family’s wellbeing, our daughter’s mood, and our own sanity cannot be overstated.
If you’re struggling with your child’s sleep, I cannot recommend Andrea highly enough. She’s worth every penny and more.
"
"Andrea is magic
Andrea is magic. Our daughter’s sleep couldn’t have been worse, it was impacting all of us significantly. With Andrea’s help we had her sleeping through the night within 3 days (literally.. after 16 months of no sleep). This was about 4 months ago and she’s slept through the night ever since. We still can’t believe it! We are so so grateful, thank you so much! Xxx"
"Great experience
We started to use Andrea to get help with our 8 month olds sleep as he was waking around 6 times a night. I was looking for someone who had a gentle approach. I never felt uncomfortable with anything in Andrea’s plan and always felt like I was there to support my baby with the changes. Whenever I needed Andrea she was there with advice and easing any concerns. She was also always very friendly to chat too. Our baby is now sleeping through the night and I no longer dread going to bed each night and now enjoying maternity leave thoroughly! Just wish we did it sooner."
"Can’t recommend Andrea more
We first worked with Andrea back in July. Our daughter had been sleeping 1 long stretch at night, then waking every 2/3 hours but suddenly one night at around 10 weeks old she started waking every 40 minutes or so (sometimes staying awake for hours at a time). Andrea was so helpful and kind at a time that was really difficult for us. She is very knowledgable and provides detailed support (and her responses are always very timely)! She really gave us so much more confidence in our parenting.
We recently had another issue with bedtime (at 6 months old) which Andrea also managed to help us with, so we are back to baby falling asleep in her cot alone with no crying and staying asleep all night. We are all so much happier since working with Andrea and I couldn’t recommend her more."
"Andrea’s advice and guidance has genuinely changed our baby’s sleep within days. We were all broken with hourly wake ups and our boy now sleeps through the night, happily and with no wake ups, thanks to Andrea’s gentle and kind methods. He loves his cot and going to bed which is a world of difference to how he was.
We instantly felt confident with Andrea and her approach and have recommended her to friends and family - and will forever more! If you’re considering reaching out, don’t wait another moment!"
"Highly recommend
My 8 month old went from waking on average 8-10 times a night (with 2 hours being as good as it got) to sleeping all night independently with Andrea's help. Nowadays 9 hours straight is a 'bad' night and he's done 12! I have my evenings back and more importantly I'm no longer chronically sleep deprived. There was a little crying involved for the first week or so but importantly my baby was never left to cry alone, and now when he wakes in the night, I see him on the monitor turning back over and sucking his thumb happily back to sleep. Can't recommend enough."
"In a sea of infant sleep advice, Andrea is a knowledgable, supportive and effective voice
I was recommended Andrea by my sister when I had my son (now aged 1). She has supported and advised us at different stages from the time he was 6 weeks old until now. Her support has helped him develop the skills to fall asleep independently, sleep through the night and transition to fewer daytime naps.
Andrea has always been compassionate, understanding, knowledgable and adaptable in her approach. I really attribute my son’s good sleep habits to the support that we have received from Andrea.
There are many different voices and approaches when it comes to infant sleep and I have found it very reassuring and helpful having one person to seek advice from so that I’ve not felt overwhelmed by what I’ve read online or heard from other parents. Andrea is very gentle in her approach and consistent - this has been key in all of us sleeping well from an early stage. I have recommended her to a number of friends and every one of them has thanked me for signposting them to Andrea!"
"A gentle approach that actually works!
We reached out to Andrea when we were ready to drop our daughters night feed as she was waking for milk that she didn’t really want or need and we were very ready for a full nights sleep!
Andrea’s gentle approach immediately resonated with us and gave us the confidence to help support her through the night. To my surprise she took to the plan SO well! Night 1, protested for 6 minutes. SIX. Night two, less time more wakes. Night three she slept through the night until 06:45. I absolutely couldn’t believe it.
Since then Andrea has helped support us with a couple of tricky things and we e come through them all.
If you’re looking for completely non-judgement, supportive and relatable advice then you’re looking in the right place. I would recommend Andrea 100 times over."
