Tired of Rocking, Carrying or Feeding Your Baby to Sleep, Only for Them to Wake Again?

Maybe naps are only 30 minutes, bedtime takes forever, or your baby is waking every 1 to 2 hours through the night.

You know something needs to change, but the thought of suddenly taking away everything your baby relies on to sleep can feel overwhelming too.

You don’t have to change everything overnight.

I take a gradual, responsive approach to improving sleep, with a transition phase where needed to help your baby get used to settling in the cot with less assistance before we begin formal sleep training.

✔ Responsive approach — no cry-it-out
✔ Gradual transition before formal sleep training, where needed
✔ Personalised sleep schedule based on your baby’s sleep patterns
✔ Close 1:1 guidance throughout the process

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 $997.

Does This Sound Familiar?

Your baby needs rocking, carrying, patting or feeding to fall asleep
They wake as soon as you transfer them into the cot
Naps are short or unpredictable
They wake frequently through the night
You are constantly changing wake windows but still feel like you are guessing
You are exhausted, but worried that sleep training will mean lots of crying

A Gentler Transition Before 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

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

What Working Together Can Look Like

Newborn Sleep Support
(0 – 12 weeks)

In the early weeks, we focus on understanding your baby’s sleep, setting up healthy sleep routines and helping you navigate things like wake times, naps, day and night sleep, feeding and settling.

From around 8 weeks, we can start giving your baby opportunities to practise self-settling at bedtime first.

Once bedtime becomes easier, we gradually move on to naps one by one, rather than changing every sleep at once.

This gives your baby time to adjust and makes the process feel much more manageable, especially when they’re still so little.

Infant & Young Toddler Sleep Coaching
(13 weeks – 23 months)

For babies who rely heavily on sleep props, wake frequently, take short naps or have a schedule that just doesn’t seem to work.

Where needed, we start with a gradual transition phase first.

I’ll monitor your baby’s sleep, work out a suitable starting schedule and then guide you through sleep training step by step.

We start with bedtime first, then gradually move on to naps once bedtime is going more smoothly.

Toddler Sleep Coaching
(2 – 5 years)

Toddler sleep can be exhausting in a completely different way.

Maybe your child needs you beside them to fall asleep, keeps calling you back into the room, wakes overnight looking for you or bedtime has become one long negotiation.

At this age, we look at both sleep and behaviour.

We first prepare your toddler for the changes before working towards calmer, more independent sleep.

Hi, I’m Han Ying

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

Most parents who come to me are already exhausted.

They’ve tried changing wake windows, following schedules online, rocking longer, feeding more, putting baby down earlier, putting baby down later… and somehow sleep still feels unpredictable.

And very often, they also tell me:

“I want my baby to sleep better, but I’m scared of sleep training because I don’t want them crying for hours.”

I understand that.

That is why I don’t believe in simply giving you a method and expecting you to change everything on the first night.

I prefer to understand your baby first, prepare them where needed, and guide you through the changes step by step.

You’ll also have me looking at your baby’s sleep logs and helping you troubleshoot along the way, so you’re not left wondering every day whether you should change the schedule or just stay consistent.

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.

I’ll help you understand what may be going on and whether my approach would be suitable for your family.

If I don’t think your baby needs sleep training, I’ll tell you that too.

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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sleep is really important to us so we engaged Han Ying when baby was 9 weeks old. Prior to that, baby was always carried to sleep by nanny so we had to change her habits. The gentle approach worked wonders and worked at a reasonable pace too. Han Ying also was patient to respond to our numerous queries haha. Thanks Han Ying for your help in our quest to get more sleep!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We engaged Han Ying to support our twin girls’ sleep needs when they were 9 weeks old. Han Ying’s approach for newborn sleep is patient and responsive - there was definitely some resistance and crying at the start while the babies adapt and learn but we felt supported through out. Juggling two babies at the same time is challenging and this journey requires trial and error. The best outcome in investing in this is knowing how to respond to our girls’ needs and seeing them wake up cheerfully. Thanks Han Ying for journeying with us.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Instead of handing us a one-size-fits-all sleep training method, Han Ying suggested a one-week sleep transition period to wean off sleep props (like baby carrier and pacifier), analysed our baby’s sleep data and suggested suitable wake windows accordingly. The customized sleep plan we received was perfectly aligned with our baby’s specific circadian rhythm and temperament, rather than a generic age-based chart. Han Ying is also extremely patient and detailed in answering all questions we had. She also provides useful and relevant resources along the way (instead of dumping all information all at once). She is incredibly supportive, understanding of parental exhaustion, and highly responsive to our concerns through WhatsApp during the support hours. Thanks to this tailored approach, our baby went from erratic catnaps and multiple night wakings to predictably connecting sleep cycles and falling asleep independently.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Han Ying has been super helpful in sleep training our baby. He has now been able to sleep through the night of 11-12.5 hours and fall asleep independently on his own during his naps. We appreciate all her help!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We engaged Han Ying to help with my baby's sleep when she was 11.5 months old. Han Ying was very clear in her explanation during the discovery call and hence we decided to engage her. The call right before the commencement of the sleep training was also clear. My baby has been dependent on a pacifier and carrying to fall asleep. My objective was really to wean her off the pacifier as well as to solve her night feed. Turns out my child was having early wakes. The sleep training part was really tough (but subjective for people) for my husband and I. However, Han Ying was understanding during this time and took in our feedback as well. I think open communication is important and I am thankful that we managed to work together to solve my child's sleep issues. I also want to particularly mention that the transition phase really helped a lot and I really really appreciate it. My child fell sick on the last day of the sleep training period and I am thankful that Han Ying was flexible with the closing call as well as the final follow-up call. Looking back, it has really been a journey and I am glad we were in this together. Now my child sleeps without a pacifier and has also weaned off her night feed. She also sleeps independently at home now. Thank you, Han Ying!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a very positive experience with Han Ying. When we decided to sleep train our 20-month-old daughter, she was heavily dependent on rocking and patting to fall asleep and still woke twice a night for milk. Han Ying guided us through a two-week transition plan, which made the process much more manageable. When we officially started sleep training, I was surprised that my daughter cried for less than five minutes before settling down on her own. I truly believe Han Ying’s recommended transition approach made a big difference and helped ease both my daughter and me into the process.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We engaged Han Ying to sleep train baby C when she was 5 months. We were exhausted after months of dealing with hourly wakes from 2/3am onwards, early morning wakes at 5-6am, full wake windows in the middle of the night etc., and this was despite already trying to follow wake windows and setting a consistent early bedtime routine since newborn days. Baby C was also often drinking milk to sleep as she needed to be drowsy in order to feed well. To be honest, for a while I had kind of accepted that Baby C was a “low sleep needs” baby and i might just have to wait until she “grows out” of this phase. Even in the initial phases of speaking to Han Ying, i was skeptical that the program could work and i was also super worried that Baby C would end up not drinking enough milk if she could not feed to sleep. To our surprise, Baby C learnt to fall asleep independently soon after we started the program and slept a long stretch that very first night (conversely we could not sleep partly cause we were so used to waking up frequently and kept checking the monitor in disbelief that she was still asleep 😂). Fast forward, it has now been about 5 months since we sleep trained Baby C and i really think it is the best decision we have made!! Granted her sleep is not always perfect, but it is often due to factors out of our control, like poor IFC naps, illness, etc. Sleep training has given us the stability that we were lacking before. And upon reflection now the benefits really go beyond sleep itself (which is a given): Mood - baby rarely wakes up crying and always greets us with the biggest smile to start the day. She almost does not cry/fuss at all during her wake windows. Feeding - she has been drinking full feeds of milk! Awake! Predictability - when she does fuss or cry, we no longer need to second guess whether she could be tired? Or hungry? Or both?? And because the fussing is so rare we immediately know there must be something else bothering her (often this means she is not feeling well). Recovery - i also noticed that she is able to get better sleep even when she is sick as she still prefers to rest in her crib. And this is helpful for recovery. Anyway the list could go on. i would like to caveat that sleep training takes some mental prep (at least it did for me), cos there will be protesting from the bb due to changing of habits they have been very used to and its important for parents to stay steady through the process so that bb can feel secure. Beyond sleep training, it also takes significant commitment from the parents’ end to set and maintain a routine. But i think it is really worth it. Thank you Han Ying for the support and helping us lay solid foundations to get to where we are now.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our LO, Zoey, was not able to sleep independently previously. We needed to carry her and rock her for naps. She would only sleep at night when I was beside her and wake up crying in the middle of the night asking to be carried. We decided to seek for Han Ying's help when Zoey was 22 months old. Initially, 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 was improved tremendously from night 3 onwards with minimum tears. Now Zoey is able to sleep independently at both day and night time. She would even sing songs by herself before falling asleep. I was sleep deprived and very exhausted for almost 2 years. Thanks to Han Ying, I am finally able to have some good night rest.

 Trustindex 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!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Baby R starting the program when she’s 12 weeks old. Before the program, baby R is taking short naps, needs to be rocked to sleep with pacifier on. We consulted Han Ying and within 3 days, we seen great improvement in baby R’s sleep and she can self soothe to sleep without any sleep props. Fast forward now, she takes 2hr each nap and sleep 7-8hrs straight thru the night. I’m really grateful for Han Ying and her guidance!!

Common Questions

Q1. Will my baby cry?

Making changes to how a baby falls asleep can still bring some crying or protest, so I don’t promise a completely tear-free process.

The difference is that you don’t have to leave your baby to cry alone.

You can still reassure and respond to them, and where appropriate, we use the transition phase first so the change isn’t as sudden.

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. Can this work if my baby sleeps in our room?

Yes.

We can still work on independent sleep even if your baby is sleeping in the same room as you.

The main requirement is that your baby sleeps in their own cot or sleep space, rather than co-sleeping in the same bed.

We’ll work around your current room setup and what is realistic for your family.

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

No, not automatically.

Night feeds are considered based on your baby’s age, feeding needs and individual situation.

Sleep coaching does not mean every baby must stop feeding overnight.

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 usually recommend starting when your baby can spend 5 consecutive days at home. This gives them time to get used to the new way of settling and helps us keep things more consistent in the first few days.

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.

Q7. What if my baby doesn’t actually need sleep training?

Then I’ll tell you.

Sometimes the main issue is the sleep schedule rather than how your baby falls asleep. In that case, Sleep Scheduling Support may be more suitable.

You Don’t Have to Keep Figuring This Out Alone

When you’re exhausted, even small sleep decisions can start taking over your whole day.

“Should I put baby down now?”

“Was that nap too short?”

“Should bedtime be earlier?”

“Do I rescue the nap?”

“Should I feed?”

“Is baby overtired?”

“Am I making things worse?”

You don’t have to keep guessing.

Tell me what has been happening with your baby’s sleep, and we’ll work out what may be the best next step for your family.
