Baby Sleep Consultant in Singapore
As a baby sleep consultant in Singapore, I help parents navigate night wakings, naps, and bedtime challenges with responsive, science-backed support.
Responsive, science-backed sleep support for babies and toddlers — without cry-it-out.
Every baby’s sleep needs are different — and sleep struggles are rarely as simple as “bad habits”.
I help parents understand why their baby is waking, resisting naps, or struggling at bedtime — by looking closely at sleep timing, sleep pressure, and existing sleep associations.
From there, I guide babies towards independent sleep responsively and step by step, so they feel supported, not abandoned — and sleep becomes calmer, more predictable, and sustainable.
I’m Han Ying, a certified baby and toddler sleep consultant based in Singapore, supporting exhausted parents through night wakings, nap challenges, and bedtime struggles with a responsive, structured approach.
Most parents I work with aren’t doing anything wrong.
They are loving, responsive, and trying their best — yet sleep still feels unpredictable and exhausting.
Common Baby and Toddler Sleep Struggles

Catnapping
Your baby takes short naps, often under 45 minutes, and struggles to stay asleep during the day.

Co-Sleeping
You are unsure how to transition your baby or toddler from co-sleeping to sleeping independently in their own cot or room.

Multiple Night Wakings
Your baby wakes frequently at night and needs feeding, rocking, or your presence to fall back asleep.

Parent-Controlled Sleep Associations
Your child relies on rocking, nursing, patting, or pacifier to fall asleep.

Chronic Sleep Deprivation
Your child isn’t getting enough sleep, becoming irritable and finding it hard to settle.

Stalling Bedtime Antics
Bedtime feels long and drawn out, especially with older babies or toddlers.
Many of these struggles aren’t caused by a lack of effort or consistency.
Often, they come down to sleep timing that doesn’t quite match a child’s individual sleep needs — something generic schedules and wake-time charts can miss.
Why Sleep Timing Matters
Babies of the same age can sleep very differently. Some need more rest, others less — and following one-size-fits-all wake times can sometimes lead to overtiredness or resistance at sleep.
That is why I don’t start with rigid schedules or age-based charts. Instead, I focus on understanding your child’s actual sleep patterns before making changes.
When timing is right, babies often:
- Fall asleep more easily
- Protest less during transitions
- Settle more consistently
This forms the foundation of all the sleep support I provide.
The Sleep Foundations Method™
I use a structured, timing-first approach to help babies and young children build sustainable sleep — without rushing them into change before they are ready or relying on one-size-fits-all methods.
Step 1: Understand Your Baby’s Individual Sleep Timing
Every baby is different. Instead of relying on generic wake-time charts, I look at real sleep patterns to understand how your baby responds to sleep and wake times in daily life.
This helps us:
- Avoid unnecessary overtiredness or undertiredness
- Reduce confusion at bedtime and naps
- Set your baby up for smoother settling
Step 2: Prepare Before Expecting Change
Before formal sleep training begins, we make sure the foundations are in place — including timing, routines, and realistic expectations.
This preparation phase is about helping both baby and parents feel more ready for change.
Step 3: Build Independent Sleep Skills Step by Step
Once timing is right and expectations are clear, we work on independent sleep in a structured, staged way that is appropriate for your child’s age and needs.
Some protest or crying can be a normal part of learning something new, but this approach aims to reduce unnecessary struggle by ensuring babies are put down at an appropriate time and supported through change consistently.
This method isn’t about quick fixes or one-size-fits-all solutions — it is about creating sleep that lasts.
Hey tired mama,
I know how exhausting it can feel when your baby isn’t sleeping well.
I’m Han Ying, a baby and toddler sleep consultant — and a mum too.
Like many parents, I started out doing everything I could to help my baby sleep, yet still felt depleted, overwhelmed, and unsure what else to try.
Experiencing sleep deprivation firsthand showed me how deeply sleep affects not just our babies, but our emotional and physical wellbeing as parents.
With the right guidance and a structured, responsive approach, sleep became more settled — and our days felt calmer and more manageable again.
That experience is what led me to become a certified baby and toddler sleep consultant, so I can support other parents through the same challenges with clarity, empathy, and evidence-based guidance.
Sleep isn’t a luxury.
It’s a foundation — for your baby’s growth, and for your wellbeing too.
Sleep isn’t a luxury — it’s a necessity for you and your child
When sleep is consistently disrupted, it doesn’t just affect nights — it affects how both mums and babies feel, function, and cope during the day.
For mums
Poor sleep can make it harder to:
- Feel emotionally regulated and patient
- Think clearly and make decisions
- Maintain energy, mood, and resilience
- Protect your own health and wellbeing
- Feel connected to your partner and family
For babies and toddlers
When sleep is fragmented or insufficient, children may:
- Become more irritable, fussy, or unsettled
- Find it harder to regulate emotions
- Struggle with learning and focus during the day
- Have less capacity to cope with change
- Seem more sensitive or reactive overall
Supporting better sleep isn’t about perfection — it’s about protecting wellbeing, for both you and your child.

A Responsive Approach to Sleep Support
Many parents worry that supporting independent sleep means leaving their baby to cry or pushing change too quickly.
That isn’t how I work.
My approach is responsive, timing-led, and developmentally appropriate.
We focus on understanding your child’s sleep needs first — then supporting change gradually, with consistency and reassurance.
This means:
Responding to your baby’s cues, not ignoring them
Making changes only when timing and readiness are right
Supporting emotional safety alongside sleep skills
Helping parents feel confident and informed, not pressured
Independent sleep doesn’t have to come at the cost of connection.
With the right support, babies can learn to sleep while still feeling safe, supported, and understood.
Success Stories from Other Parents
Every family’s situation is different, but many parents come to me feeling exhausted, unsure, and overwhelmed — just like you might be feeling now.
Posted on Kelly HeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. No regrets engaging Han Ying to help us with our baby’s sleep! Our baby was around 5mo and would rely on pacifier, carrying and rocking to sleep. We knew it wasn’t sustainable, especially when she even started to resist those props and would protest almost every nap and bedtime. With sleep training under Han Ying’s patient and structured guidance, our baby quickly learnt how to fall asleep independently and her sleep quality improved. We also gained valuable knowledge about optimising our baby’s sleep which we believe is key to a happy and healthy baby! Han Ying was responsive, clear and detailed during the training, which gave us a lot of reassurance. She’s also a warm and kind person who supported us very well. We were once sceptical and unsure about sleep training, but we’ve witnessed how helpful it has been and we hope all struggling parents could consider this too!Posted on Emily OngTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am really glad to have engaged Han Ying as my baby’s sleep trainer. I was at my wit’s end dealing with my 6 months old baby’s nap and bedtime routines. My husband and I had been carrying, rocking, and patting our baby to sleep since he was a newborn, but ever since he turned 4 months old, he began resisting our help. It became increasingly challenging to get him to sleep despite following the generic wake window guide. Han Ying provided tremendous support by troubleshooting and closely monitoring my baby’s wake times during the transition week before we officially started sleep training. I was already seeing huge improvements in my baby’s sleep during that week and was truly amazed! Getting the timing right made all the difference, and we couldn’t have done it without Han Ying’s guidance! She created a personalized sleep plan and set clear goals with us. My baby is now able to self-soothe, fall asleep independently, and sleep for longer stretches at night without waking every three hours for a feed. 😌 Thank you, Han Ying, for being such a great support in establishing a healthy sleep routine for my baby!Posted on Shermaine LimTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I engaged Han Ying to sleep train my baby at 4.5 month old and it was the best decision ever! While my baby has no problem to self sleep at night, day naps were very hard as he needs constant carrying and rocking. Naps are very short too. I like it that Han Ying’s method is scientific, using sleep app to track and study baby wake times instead of just letting baby cry it out. Within a week of sleep training, my baby is able to fall asleep by himself with minimal cries. With sleeping training, my baby is more well rested and his appetite increased too. Thanks Han Ying!Posted on DanielleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We cannot thank Han Ying enough - from sleep training our baby Z when he was 3.5 months old (enabling him to sleep independently) to troubleshooting his sleep schedule when he's now 10.5-11 months old! Han Ying's approach is patient and consistent - she encouraged us to slowly wean Z off sleep props such as patting and rocking him to sleep, before starting sleep training. Throughout the 2 weeks, Han Ying guided us for each nap and night sleep and taught us through the troubleshooting methods, enabling us to continue supporting Z's healthy sleep habits. Till now, Z mostly sleeps through the night for 10-12h stretches :') I approached Han Ying again when Z was 10.5 months and I was frustrated and at my wit's end with his short naps and early wake-ups. As usual, she reviewed his sleep schedule and wake times in detail and was able to troubleshoot his wake times, allowing him to have more restful naps and restorative night sleep again. I'd always keep recommending Han Ying! As a first time mum, a baby's sleep in the first year can be so confusing to figure out. But I'm grateful to have had Han Ying's guidance and patience, especially through these nap transitions! Thank you again Han Ying :)Posted on Jeremy HanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would recommend the services of Han Ying if anyone wishes to sleep train their kid. Her methods were detailed, scientific and she was responsive and patient throughout our sleep training journey. She also offered additional support beyond the agreed period to ensure that our baby boy was finally more settled into his sleep routines. Until now, we are still employing her methods to manage our baby's sleep schedule and fingers crossed, so far so good!Posted on Yeen LeeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Han Ying was supportive and able to guide me. I finally got her to sleep earlier after few weeks. Can see many improvements in terms of sleep and behaviour and speech.Posted on weiwen tanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you Han Ying for troubleshooting my son's sleep schedule. He was waking up at 4-5am for nearing 1 month. Thanks to Han Ying, he finally does not have early wakeup. Han Ying was friendly and patience in guiding me throughout the 1 week support too. :)Posted on Sierra LaiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you Coach Han Ying for sleep-training our bb! Now she can sleep well ttn, and likewise for us too 😎 I would totally recommend everyone to engage her to do it as she is super professional, understanding and patient with us 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻Posted on Kiawoon ChuaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Engaged Hanying for 2 weeks in end April to help with my 9 month old baby’s sleep issues: relying on rocking, holding and pacifier to sleep, short naps, early morning wakings and split nights. We had previously tried to use Ferber method when baby was 6 months old with limited success due to illness. Hanying had a questionnaire and a call to discuss on the sleep plan. Prior to the start of sleep training, we also went cold turkey for the pacifier on our own (basically cry it out). After sleep training officially started, the first 2 nights he managed to sleep almost 10.5 hours! And put himself to sleep for 2 naps in the day of 1.5h each. Unfortunately, the good results didn’t last and for most of the rest of the 14 days it was either -waking throughout the night, - split nights (woke up for 1-2hours e.g 3-5am before going back to sleep) or - early wake ups (4-6am) and not returning to sleep. As a result, my baby was still sleeping around 12 hours in 24 hours, not the “target” 11 hours night sleep and 3 hours naps that Hanying mentioned was the average for 9 months old. In discussions with Hanying, she did mention that it is difficult with baby in infant care because the naps are not controlled and timing given by the school may not be accurate. And also that most infants she helps with sleep scheduling are already independent sleepers when they engage her. Whereas mine was not an independent sleeper + sleep scheduling problem. At the end of the 14 days, we still couldn’t not figure out the schedule to get rid of his split nights and early morning wakes despite the trial and errors. Also no idea whether he is overtired or undertired.. I thought that engaging a sleep consultant would give more individualised advice but perhaps 14days+ is just not enough. For parents with babies in infant care, note that baby needs to be out of infant care for 3 weekdays at least, to learn the independent sleep skills. Mine was out of IFC for 5.5 days during the 14 days but unfortunately that doesn’t seem enough. If you’re a working parent with baby attending IFC, need to think twice whether to spend this money (and your leave!) on sleep training cos you may not get the results you want.. wish I could give a 5 star review but one month after sleep training ended I’m still one tired mama waking up for a few hours in the early morning😭 TLDR: slightly helpful to learn how to manage baby’s sleep but don’t expect all problems to be solved especially if your baby has alot of sleep problems.Posted on Kai LingTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Engaged Hanying because we were struggling to get our 8m old baby L to sleep. He was heavily dependent on sleeping props such as swaddle, pacifier, carrying, patting, rocking and feeding. Thus, we were initially worried about whether we could even wean him off these props. With the guidance from Hanying and detailed explanation on how to wean off, our baby boy managed to sleep independent without these props and he has started to sleep for longer hours! We would like to thank Hanying for being so patient with us as we had many questions posed to her due to uncertainty and she addressed our questions almost immediately within the day. Husband said that starting sleeping training from Hanying is one of best investment we could give for ourselves and our boy. And I couldn't agree more! Thanks to the sleep training, we could have more well rested night and it made a lot of difference to our wellbeing: Would Definitely recommend Hanying to our friends! 🙏😄Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
