You do not have to choose between better sleep and a gentle approach

Many parents delay getting help because they worry sleep training will mean leaving their baby to cry, following a rigid schedule, or making changes that feel too hard all at once.

That is not how I work.

One of the biggest differences in my approach is that I do not rush families straight into formal sleep training.

Before we begin formal sleep coaching, I guide you through a 1-week transition phase.

This gives your baby time to prepare for change more gradually, while we work on the foundations that may be affecting sleep most.

Instead of expecting everything to change overnight, we take a calmer, more manageable first step.

Why the transition phase matters

During this phase, we focus on strengthening the foundations that make sleep training smoother.

This may include:

✔ Gradually reducing reliance on rocking, patting, or feeding to sleep
✔ Observing your baby’s natural sleep patterns and wake times
✔ Adjusting routines where needed
✔ Preparing you and your baby for more consistent sleep support

Instead of changing everything at once, we make the first step feel lighter.

Many families start to notice calmer bedtimes and longer stretches of sleep once this process begins.

Sleep training does not have to mean cry-it-out

For many parents, the words “sleep training” immediately bring up fear.

But sleep training is not one single harsh method.

With the right support, it can be a responsive, structured process that helps your child learn a new sleep skill in a way that feels clear and manageable for your family.

My approach is designed to support change without jumping straight into the deep end.

That is why the transition phase matters so much. It helps your baby prepare before bigger changes begin.

This support may be right for you if...

You may be a good fit if your baby or toddler:

✔ Wakes frequently at night and sleep no longer feels manageable
✔ Relies on feeding, rocking, patting, or carrying to sleep
✔ Takes short naps
✔ Struggles with bedtime
✔ Wakes fully between sleep cycles
✔ Needs lots of help to settle back to sleep
✔ Has sleep that feels unpredictable and unsustainable

This support is for families who want a clear plan, gentle structure, and personalised help.

What happens during the sleep assessment call

This 20-minute call is designed to help you understand whether sleep training support is the right fit for your child and whether my 1-week transition phase would be a good place to start.

On the call, we will:

✔ Talk through your child’s current sleep challenges
✔ Identify the biggest factors affecting sleep right now
✔ Discuss whether my responsive approach and transition phase would help
✔ Help you understand what the next step could look like

This is a short assessment call, not a full sleep plan or free troubleshooting session.

If you are thinking about sleep training but want a gentler starting point, start here.

Hear from parents who have been where you are

“Sleep training was life-changing. Our babies now sleep independently and our whole families are finally getting the rest we needed.”

Lynnette, mum of Lexy

✔ No more carrying baby to sleep for naps or bedtime
✔ Night wakings and overnight feeds eliminated
✔ Babies now falling asleep independently and sleeping through the night

Every family is different, but many parents come to me feeling stuck with frequent night wakings, short naps, bedtime struggles, or strong sleep associations.

Hi, I’m Han Ying

I’m a certified Baby and Toddler Sleep Consultant and the founder of Rested Mum Happy Bub.

I help tired parents improve sleep with a responsive, structured approach that does not rely on cry-it-out.

My goal is to help families feel supported, understand what is happening, and move through the process in a way that feels calm and manageable.

That is why I start with a 1-week transition phase before formal sleep training begins.

Real results from families I’ve supported

Here are a few examples of the kind of progress families have seen with structured, responsive support.

CASE STUDY 1

6-Month-Old Baby

Bedtime settling improved to about 15 minutes

Before support, bedtime took a long time and required a lot of help.

After making changes:

✔ Bedtime settling improved to about 15 minutes
✔ Baby was able to settle in the cot with patting
✔ Mum finally felt able to relax again

“I feel like I could finally breathe again.”

CASE STUDY 2

6.5-Month-Old Baby

From inconsistent sleep to 15 hours total sleep daily

Before starting, sleep was inconsistent.

After adjusting the baby’s schedule, sleep improved to:

✔ 11.5 hours overnight
✔ 15 hours total daily sleep
✔ Faster settling at bedtime

Sometimes sleep struggles are not only about how babies fall asleep. Daily schedule can play a big role too.

CASE STUDY 3

12.5-Month-Old Baby

From frequent wakings to 12 hours overnight

After improving the daily schedule, this family saw:

✔ 12 hours overnight
✔ No night wakings
✔ Parents feeling confident adjusting wake times

Sleep training is not only about helping babies fall asleep. It is also about having a daily schedule that supports better sleep over the long term.

CASE STUDY 4

22-Month-Old Toddler

From worried parents to calm, predictable sleep

Before starting, the family felt worried and bedtime was hard to manage.

With consistency and structured guidance, this toddler learnt to settle more independently and the family saw:

✔ 11 hours overnight
✔ Calm bedtime
✔ Independent settling
✔ A no cry-it-out approach that felt right for the family

Frequently asked questions

Q1. Do you use cry-it-out?

No. My approach is responsive and structured. I support families in making changes in a way that feels clear, manageable, and emotionally safe.

Q2. Why do you start with a transition phase?

Many families feel nervous about changing everything at once. The transition phase gives both parent and child a gentler place to start and often helps the whole process feel calmer and more manageable.

Q3. Is my baby too young or too used to feeding or rocking to sleep?

That depends on your child’s age, sleep habits, and current situation. The call helps us work out whether now is the right time and what kind of support would make the most sense.

Q4. Do I need to stop night feeds or breastfeeding?

Not necessarily. That depends on your baby’s age, feeding patterns, and overall situation. For younger babies especially, night feeds may still be developmentally appropriate. If you are breastfeeding, that does not automatically mean you need to wean in order to work on sleep. We can look at what is age-appropriate, how feeds are currently being used, and whether any changes would actually be helpful, without taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

Q5. Does sleep training mean rigid schedules and staying home all day?

No. My approach is responsive and realistic. The aim is to improve sleep in a way that works for real family life, not create an impossible routine.

Q6. How quickly will sleep improve?

Every baby is different, so I cannot promise an exact timeline. Many families do start to see progress within about a week or so, but it really depends on your baby’s readiness and how consistent the family is with the approach. My goal is not just quick results, but helping you build sleep habits that feel sustainable and realistic for your family.

This call is best for families who:

  • Are considering sleep training and want a responsive approach
  • Feel nervous about cry-it-out or harsh methods
  • Are open to personalised 1:1 support
  • Want to understand whether the transition phase is the right next step

You do not have to jump straight into formal sleep training on your own

If you are thinking about sleep training but want a gentler, more supported place to start, this call will help you understand what may be happening, what support could look like, and whether my 1-week transition phase is the right fit for your family.
