Exhausted From Rocking, Carrying and Repeated Night Wakings?

Want to improve your baby’s sleep but uncomfortable with cry-it-out?

My personalised sleep programme begins with a 1-week transition phase to gradually reduce sleep props and prepare both you and your baby before formal sleep training begins.

This may be suitable if your baby:

Takes a long time to fall asleep
Wakes shortly after being put down
Wakes repeatedly throughout the night
Relies on rocking, carrying, patting, feeding or a pacifier to sleep
Wakes during cot transfers
Only naps while being held or through contact naps

Many families begin seeing improvements during the transition phase, such as easier settling, less reliance on sleep props or becoming more comfortable in the cot. This can make formal sleep training feel less overwhelming when we begin.

The gradual approach may also help minimise crying, although every baby responds differently. You will not be asked to leave your baby alone to cry until they fall asleep.

Share your child’s main sleep struggles and find out whether my transition-first approach is suitable for your family.

Personalised 1:1 sleep programmes start from $897.

Does This Sound Familiar?

You may be feeling exhausted because:

You spend 30-60 minutes, or even longer, rocking or carrying your baby to sleep.
Your baby wakes as soon as you transfer them into the cot.
Bedtime takes a long time, but your baby wakes again 20-45 minutes after falling asleep.
Your baby wakes every 1-2 hours and needs the same help each time.
You have to feed, rock, carry or pat your baby back to sleep throughout the night.
Most naps happen in your arms, carrier or beside you.
You feel trapped doing contact naps throughout the day.
You have tried wake window guides, routines and online advice but still do not know what needs to change.
You want your baby to sleep more independently, but cry-it-out does not feel right for your family.
Removing every sleep prop on the first night feels too abrupt.

You do not need more generic sleep advice.

You need a personalised plan that considers your baby’s sleep timing, current sleep props, feeding needs, temperament and family routine.

A More Gradual Start Before Formal Sleep Training

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

Before we begin, I guide you through a 1-week transition phase so we can prepare your baby for change in a calmer, more manageable way.

Instead of expecting your child to suddenly do everything differently overnight, we first strengthen the foundations that make sleep progress feel more realistic for both parent and child.

During this transition phase, we focus on:

✔ Gradually reducing reliance on rocking, patting, carrying, or feeding to sleep
✔ Observing your baby’s natural sleep patterns and wake times
✔ Adjusting routines if your baby currently feeds or is heavily supported to sleep
✔ Preparing your baby for sleeping in the cot with more confidence and less overwhelm

Most of my clients begin seeing some improvements during this phase. Their baby may start settling more easily, become more comfortable in the cot or need less help to fall asleep.

This often helps both baby and parents feel better prepared, making formal sleep training less overwhelming when we start.

Why Begin With a Transition Phase?

The transition phase is designed to:

Prepare your baby before formal sleep training
Reduce the number of changes happening at the same time
Help your baby become more familiar with settling in the cot
Potentially minimise crying by making the changes more gradual
Make formal sleep training feel less overwhelming when it begins

Every baby responds differently, so results during the transition phase will vary.

A Responsive Approach, Not Cry-It-Out

My approach does not involve leaving your baby alone to cry until they fall asleep.

There may still be some crying or protest when familiar sleep habits change, but I will guide you on how to respond, reassure your baby and remain consistent throughout the process.

The transition phase makes the changes more gradual and may help minimise crying, although every baby responds differently.

Hear from parents who have been where you are

What support can look like

After the assessment call, families who move forward receive personalised 1:1 sleep support based on their child’s age, needs, and current sleep habits.

The process begins with the 1-week transition phase, where we focus on preparing your baby for change gradually. From there, we move into the next stage of support with a structured plan that feels clear and realistic to follow.

This means you are not left guessing what to do, trying random tips, or making too many changes at once.

Hi, I’m Han Ying

I am a certified Sleep Sense Consultant and the founder of Rested Mum Happy Bub.

I support families with children from newborn to five years old who are struggling with:

Frequent night wakings
Short naps
Long settling times
Waking shortly after bedtime
Contact naps
Rocking, carrying or feeding to sleep
Cot-transfer wakings
Early morning waking
Toddler bedtime resistance
Parental presence at bedtime

My approach is responsive, structured and personalised.

I do not believe in using a one-size-fits-all plan or asking parents to remove every sleep prop without preparation.

Instead, I begin by understanding your child’s sleep patterns and guide your family through a transition phase before formal sleep training begins.

I will not ask you to leave your child alone to cry until they fall asleep.

What Happens During My 20-Min Sleep Assessment?

During the assessment, we will briefly discuss:

Your child’s age
Their main sleep struggles
How they currently fall asleep
What happens during naps, bedtime and night wakings
What you have already tried
Your concerns about sleep training
Whether my transition-first approach is suitable for your family
Which programme may best meet your needs

The 20-minute sleep assessment is not a full troubleshooting consultation and does not include a complete personalised sleep plan.

Its purpose is to understand the main sleep concerns, determine whether my support is suitable for your family and discuss the most appropriate next step.

Real results from families I’ve supported

Families often come to me feeling exhausted, unsure, and worried that nothing will work for their child.

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

Kind words from parents I’ve supported

Parents often come to me feeling exhausted, confused, and unsure what to try next.

These are some of the experiences families have shared after getting support with their baby’s sleep.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. Is this cry-it-out?

No.

You will not be asked to leave your baby alone to cry until they fall asleep.

There may still be some crying or protest when familiar sleep habits change. I will guide you on how to respond, provide reassurance and remain consistent according to your personalised plan.

Q2. Can the transition phase help minimise crying?

It may.

The transition phase is designed to reduce sleep props gradually, improve sleep timing and help your baby become more familiar with settling in the cot before formal sleep training begins.

Most of my clients begin seeing some improvements during the transition phase, which can make formal sleep training feel less overwhelming when we start.

Because the changes are introduced gradually, some babies may also cry less than they would if every sleep prop were removed at once.

Q3. Will my baby become an independent sleeper during the transition week?

Not necessarily.

Some babies may begin making noticeable progress during the transition phase, while others will require formal sleep training before they can settle independently.

The transition phase helps build a stronger foundation before moving into the next stage.

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

Not automatically.

Age-appropriate night feeds can continue where needed. We will consider your baby’s age, daytime intake, feeding pattern and current needs before making any changes.

Q5. Can this work if my baby attends infant care?

Yes, although the start date and plan may need to be arranged around your baby’s school schedule.

For formal sleep training, I would recommend beginning when your baby can spend 5 consecutive days at home so that the new approach can be introduced consistently.

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.
