If this sounds familiar, this guide is for you

You’ve tried adjusting naps, wake windows, or bedtime, but your baby still wakes often.

You’re not sure if it’s hunger, overtiredness, sleep associations, schedule issues, or something else.

You’ve read advice online, but it all feels conflicting and hard to apply to your baby.

You want to help your baby sleep better, but you don’t want to use a harsh approach.

This guide will help you make sense of the night wakings, so you can stop guessing and start with the right next step.

Why this guide helps

Night wakings are common in babies. But when they keep repeating and your baby needs a lot of help to get back to sleep, it is often a sign that something in the bigger sleep picture needs looking at.

This guide will help you step back, look at the full picture, and understand what may be contributing, so you can make more informed next steps.

Hi, I’m Han Ying

I’m Han Ying a certified Baby & Toddler Sleep Consultant and mum.

I created this guide for tired parents who are doing their best, but still feel stuck with frequent night wakings, short stretches of sleep, and constant second-guessing.

My approach is structured, supportive, and responsive. I believe sleep can improve without making parents feel harsh, overwhelmed, or alone in the process.

Before formal sleep training, I guide families through a transition phase so changes feel more manageable for both parent and child. We focus on strengthening the foundations first, so you are not trying to fix everything at once.

This guide is designed to help you feel more confident about what may be going on, and what to pay attention to first.

If sleep still feels confusing after reading the guide, you will also have the option to book a free Sleep Assessment Call to talk through what may be contributing and what to focus on first.

What many parents miss

When night wakings keep happening, the most helpful question is not always:

How do I stop the wakes?

It is:

What is most likely driving them?

That is where real progress usually starts.

Sometimes the issue is timing.
Sometimes it is hunger.
Sometimes it is a strong sleep association.
Sometimes discomfort or development is part of the picture too.

The goal is not to guess harder.
The goal is to understand what may actually be going on, so you know what to focus on first.

Kind words from parents

“We were very concerned about leaving her by herself and letting her cry. However, with Han Ying’s support and gentle step by step approach, we could see Zoey’s night sleep improved tremendously from night 3 onwards with minimum tears.”

“Han Ying monitored my baby’s wake times during the transition week and I was already seeing huge improvements before formal sleep training even started.”

“She was responsive, clear and reassuring throughout.”

This is what it looks like when we stop guessing and start adjusting the right thing.

These are reviews from parents I’ve supported through baby and toddler sleep challenges, including night wakings.
