Leila Baker
For 7 years in neonatal care within the NHS I am privileged enough to have worked extremely closely with mothers and fathers during some of the hardest and some of the happiest moments of their lives. I am also a qualified nursery nurse with a strong background in nursery settings, and paediatrics. I have a wealth of knowledge in reflux, infant care, safer sleeping and breast and bottle feeding. I am extremely passionate about working closely with parents and that is why I love both my roles so much.
As a working mother of one and I have experienced sleep deprivation myself, and I sympathise enormously with what you are going through. My job for the last 5 years has not just been to provide specialist medical care to babies born prematurely or unwell term babies, but to also guide and support families in creating a feeding and sleeping routine in preparation for discharge. I could not understand why I could not get my own son to sleep. I know now I couldn’t see the wood from the trees and was severely sleep deprived. I decided to get help and it was by far the best decision I ever made! It enabled me to go back to work and take care of vulnerable babies and their families, Something I never could have done having been awake all night with my own baby. For this reason I decided to dedicate my professional career to also specialising in baby and child sleep.
I understand the judgment parents can feel, and the overwhelming conflicting advice that is out there that can leave you feeling more confused then ever. I will be there every step of the way with you whilst we work together to help your little one learn to sleep. I believe in gentle but consistent routines and methods that help develop healthy independent sleeping habits. My guidance will allow you to provide love and reassurance for your little one along the way whilst teaching those all-important sleep skills.
If you are considering getting help with your child’s sleep then please don’t delay it any longer. Contact me to arrange your free 15 minute call. It will be one of the best gifts you ever give to both yourself and your child…

Testimonials
I was recommended Leila by a friend, at first I was a bit worried about doing a sleep plan as I was I wasn’t sure if my son would be ok doing it and I was also concerned as to whether I would be consistent enough, however upon putting my faith in Leila everything worked amazingly and I am so happy I went ahead with the sleep plan!

Leila is a fab sleep consultant and was with me every step of the way with the guidance that I needed, she is friendly, very motivating and reassuring. Archie took to the plan really well and I stuck to everything as I should, he now soothes himself to sleep for naps and bedtime and sleeps through the night. I love that the plan was a gentle way to teach my baby how to sleep on his own. Thank you Leila!

While we were open-minded about Leila’s approach, we were also nervous about what to do if the gradual retreat method led to intensive crying. Sometimes it did, at bedtime in particular. We were amazed by how quickly Aiden started to sleep better. In less than 72 hours, he had begun to nap properly in his cot twice a day and to sleep through the night.
We thought this might all be a fluke, but one month later Aiden is sleeping beautifully and his eating has improved. Our personal circumstances mean we have had to travel extensively with Aiden during this time, staying away from home on three occasions. Despite this, we have managed to keep Aiden’s sleep on track by following some simple advice from Leila. She was professional, practical and supportive during our experience. Thank you so much, Leila.”

Skip ahead to my daughter’s arrival…just like our son, she lulled us into a false sense of sleep security for the first couple of months and then didn’t seem to emerge from the “four month” sleep regression. Our daughter depended on me to feed or cuddle her to sleep, and would then wake up for more of this multiple times a night, often only sleeping for 45 minutes.
Read More
We knew we could depend on Leila’s expert support again and did not hesitate to contact her. Leila guided us to make tweaks to our daily routine and provided a detailed and clear sleep plan to teach our daughter how to fall asleep independently. The plan felt gentle enough for our 8 month old daughter, which was very important to us.
On both occasions, Leila’s expert advice and the individual sleep plans have been spot on. They have worked! Both children slept through the night since the first night of following the plan. My son has been sleeping through the night for three years now and my daughter has been following in her big brothers footsteps for the past month, since accessing Leila’s support.
Leila is friendly, professional and honest. I know some use books as a guide for infant sleep but I absolutely could not have done it without the reassuring and calm guidance of Leila.
I definitely didn’t foresee needing a sleep consultant at the start of my parenting journey. However, accessing Leila’s support has been one of the best parenting choices. 100% money well spent. Leila was recommended to me by a friend and I have since recommended her to others. Sleep is so crucial, life feels so much better now we are all able to get the sleep we need.”

‘When I first contacted Leila after she was recommended to me by a friend, I was exhausted and felt helpless. It would take up to an hour to get Xxxx to sleep at nap time and bed time and I would then be up for hours in the night, every night, doing anything to get him to settle. Lots of tears were shared from both of us! I would feed him and rock him until he fell in to a deep enough sleep for me to put him down – sometimes, this would be most of the night.

I knew Leila’s training worked as I’d seen it work first hand, but there was a part of me that thought ‘I’m not sure if this will work for us. We might be the exception!’ I’m pleased to say that I was completely proved wrong. Through this gentle sleep training approach, Xxxx now settles himself to sleep within minutes. He sleeps through every single night and if he does wake up or stir, he soothes himself back to sleep quickly. He has a good length nap in the day too.
I can’t believe how quickly Xxxx was able to learn these new sleep skills. It takes consistency, determination and hard work to start with as you implement the new routine. But the support, encouragement and reassurance given by Leila gets you through it all. I honestly could not recommend her enough! She has so much knowledge and explains everything in detail so you understand why you are doing everything you are doing.
Taking this step was one of the best decisions of my life and it has made such a huge difference to my little family. Thank you Leila!’
Honestly, thank you thank you thank you!

Firstly, the biggest thank you to this lady!
My husband and I were battling a boobie loving little boy who hit the 4 month sleep regression and decided unless he was on me, he wasn’t going to sleep or settle. Fast forward 6 months and we were at the end of our resources. The lack of sleep was affecting so many other aspects of our lives and although we had tried some controlled crying methods, nothing was working for us and we felt so lost and exhausted.
Read More
Then, we found Leila! My good friend recommend her to me (probably during one of my melt down help me calls)! I got in touch and straight away she was back to me organizing the initial call. The first time we spoke I just knew she would be able to help us on this journey with her confident and gentle attitude and yep…. I was right!
We started with her clear instructions and literally within 2 nights we had a baby who was sleeping 7:30-7:30. I honestly couldn’t believe what was happening – he had now learnt how to be ok on his own (even when put in his cot wide awake) and settle himself when he woke in the night. Proud as punch we were (are!).
I cannot recommend Leila enough. If you’re battling with lack of sleep with your baby, it’s honestly worth every single penny.
Just trust her and she won’t let you down!
Thank you so much again, Leila.

Before we went to Leila our nearly 18 month daughter was waking at least every 2 hours all night every night, and had never slept well since she was born. She relied on feeding to link all her sleep cycles and the longest she had ever slept was 4 hours once or twice in her life, we were exhausted!! We never dreamt that Xxxxx would sleep as well as she does now! Leila is so understanding, kind and so supportive. If any plan was going to help Xxxxx sleep it was Leilas plan! We saw improvements from night 1 and after a week she was sleeping through the night which was a complete miracle for us! Xxxx had never self settled ever in the night and now does all through the night.

I honestly never thought Xxxxx sleep could be improved and would recommend Leila to anyone! We took nearly a year and a half to just go for it and pay for the help we really needed and it is honestly worth every single penny. We now all finally sleep and are a much happier family!

He now sleeps 12 hours through the night, dad can put him down, with just a good night kiss and placing him in the cot. Our quality of life has improved massively and our Son is now getting the sleep he needs at night and has learnt the skills to put himself to sleep. He has less tantrums in the day and sleep time routine is now a joy instead of a battle.

Leila listens to your issues and comes up with a plan to suit your issues. Her support is invaluable. She is kind, reassuring, supportive and is the voice of reason you need to hear. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Before we embarked on this I wondered did we really need to do this was it going to be worth the investment. Now I think why did we not do this a year ago! As a family we are all really happy as a result of this process. thank you Lelia you have really changed our lives for the better!

He was unable to fall asleep on his own and couldn’t settle himself back to sleep. He was going to bed around 7pm and would wake up at 3am everyday and he would just be awake for the rest of the day, sometimes all day without even a 10 minute nap! Both my partner and I were drained, emotionally and physically and Finley just wasn’t happy, he was overtired and grumpy. When I contacted Leila I was sceptical at first as I wasn’t sure what to expect, when we had our consultation she was so kind and understanding and listened to everything I had to say and understood my worries and concerns. One of the scariest things for us was getting rid of the dummy and the feed right before Finley went to sleep. One of the most reassuring things she said to me that first night that sticks in my mind even now is that he’s not crying because he’s in pain or because he’s not tired, he’s crying because it’s different and because he’s not used to the change. Don’t get me wrong hearing your baby cry is horrible but I put all my trust and faith in Leila and it did not fail. Leila is fantastic she lays everything on the table from day 1 and doesn’t give you false hope. The first night was the hardest, we had 20 minutes of crying and 1 wake up at 3am which lasted 4 minutes and then 1 wake up at 5am and then up for the day at 7am. Finley had learnt to settle himself in that first night and by night 2 he settled himself to sleep with no dummy, no feed and no rocking/holding him. This in itself was an amazing achievement not just for Finley but for us as parents because it can be quite daunting not only changing a routine that’s been implemented since your baby was born but also because you’re desperate for it to work. Leila was available to chat throughout the whole program via text and over the phone when I needed support.
Finley now naps twice a day for an hour each nap, rarely cries and settles himself to sleep. He sleeps through the night from 7pm-7am with no wake ups! I don’t know how Leila knows exactly what your baby needs but she does and I promise you it is well worth it! We are all now getting enough sleep which means one happy Finley and well rested mum and dad who can be the best parents they can be!
I never thought that Finley would ever be able to sleep 12 hours but I was so wrong! We honestly can’t thank Leila enough for everything she’s done for us, her knowledge, her patience and her unconditionally caring nature is exactly what you need when you feel like you’re struggling to cope. If you’re thinking about using Leila to help your little one my advice would be to absolutely DO IT!

We asked for Leila’s help as our nearly 5 months old baby couldn’t sleep for more that 45mins at a time and never without being fed to sleep. The sleep deprivation was really taking a toll on our family life, and we knew we needed professional help.
Read More
From the first conversation with Leila, she put my worries at ease and was kind but fair with what we could expect. I laughed when she said our baby could sleep through the night within a few nights, but little did I know this would be true. Leila designed a programme of sleep for us that was clear to follow, she tailored it to our needs and was flexible when we asked for changes. I initially expressed concern with the baby not feeding throughout the night and Leila was able to adapt the programme to address my concern. As it turned out, by night 3 our daughter didn’t need food at night and on night 4 she slept for 12 hours, to our amazement.
It hasn’t been an easy journey, but I feel that Leila was able to hold our hand and support us throughout. Never did any questions go unanswered and I never felt alone – Leila felt like a part of our family and she experienced everything with us.
I am so glad we took the steps to get help and it has changed our lives for the better -this would not have been possible without Leila’s help.

Leila is so kind and understanding in her approach and was always there when I needed! I felt completely empowered to make the changes my daughter and I so desperately needed.

I contacted Leila, who was recommended by a friend after I had told her the issues, I was having with my daughters sleeping.
We had been pretty lucky early on as Matilda had taken to sleeping really well – she would settle herself to sleep and most of the time sleep through the night.
Read More
Since turning two this all went downhill and the longer, we left it the worse it was getting. In the weeks leading up to us contacting Leila we had not had a full night sleep in what felt like forever, Matilda would not settle – bedtime could take over an hour, she would not stay in her bed, she was up several times in the night, she was sleeping on the floor, one of us would be sleeping on her bedroom floor or on the landing, she was awake as early as 4am and ready to start the day – which meant the days were very long and we were all in a foul mood which just made the days so long and I dreaded each day.
We felt we had to try something as the lack of sleep and stress was affecting us all…. I contacted Leila and literally kept refreshing my phone waiting for a reply because I was so desperate for help – to my surprise she replied so quickly and within a couple of hours we were chatting on the phone, and she told me she could defiantly help us!! After the first call I already liked her and her positive attitude and advise made me excited about bedtime – I knew it was going to be a challenge, but I was ready and so determined to make it work. Leila had advised getting rid of Matilda’s dummy completely which just filled me with dread, but I took her advice and along with our new routine and a few changes I cracked on and I literally skipped down the stairs with the biggest smile on my face when on night one Matilda was fast asleep within 15 minutes!!
The first few nights were eventful, but I could see that her advice was working and therefore we persevered…. On night two I put Matilda back to bed 44 times…. She wasn’t going to beat me!! Each night from then this went down and by the end of the first week Matilda was going to bed and sleeping through the night. We were all happier, refreshed and generally in a better place. Over the next week things just got better each day. Leila called me regularly and we spoke via text each day and it was a comfort to know she was just at the end of the phone and that she genuinely cared.
I cannot recommend Leila enough, we stuck to her plan completely even when I secretly thought she was crazy and that it wouldn’t work and was pleasantly surprised that everything she recommended worked and each day we were thriving as a family. I thanked Leila in the first week as I felt I had my Matilda back and she was again a joy to be around, and we were all so much happier and in a better place.

A friend recommended Leila, and after the first phone-call she gave us the push we needed to finally get things sorted. I have to admit I was sceptical when Leila said she could have Arthur sleeping through the night by night 3, but to our shock she was absolutely right!
Read More
Our biggest worries were getting rid of the dummy and swaddle, and transitioning Arthur into his big boy nursery, but Leila made it a breeze for us with her encouraging words. And as for the crying, it really wasn’t half as bad as what we expected! We have gone from having a grumpy, groggy baby and coffee dependent parents to all being much more happy and rested. A baby that sleeps through 7pm-7am, and does lovely long naps so that Mummy can have a cuppa, all within the space of a few weeks.
I cannot recommend Leila enough, she is so supportive and friendly, and its clear she has a lot of experience with baby sleep so you can put your trust in her 100%. Thank you thank you thank you!

From our first phone call Leila was really friendly, reassuring and confident that she could help. His sleep improved immediately, we couldn’t believe it! With a few relatively small changes to our daily routine he instantly started sleeping later and if he woke up at night or early morning he was learning to re-settle himself. He now regularly sleeps through until 6.30am/7am and is much happier as a result of getting a good night sleep (as are we!). Leila was really supportive throughout the program and even helped us adapt the plan when we had a weekend away in the middle of the program which disrupted it slightly. I would highly recommend Leila to anyone who’s struggling with their child’s sleep, you won’t regret it!

I can’t believe how far we’ve come! As well as having his naps in the cot, he’s happily falling asleep within minutes and sleeping 12 hours at night. This morning he didn’t wake up until nearly 8am!

I’m so pleased we went ahead – we are all so much happier and it’s so lovely to be able to enjoy my happy little baby.

Anything was worth a try, although I was a little sceptical as to how someone could coach me over the phone to get my child to sleep, we were exhausted and gave it a shot.
Leila was amazing, explained everything, sympathised and shared her own experiences and was confident she could help. 2 days in and it was a miracle – our little boy was sleeping and we felt amazing after having a full night’s sleep.
It’s now a month on and we are still consistently getting great sleep.

We knew we needed to flip things about and from reading and speaking to people we were putting into place some practices that were helping slightly, but because of the multitude of opinions coming our way we were second guessing ourselves all the time. When a friend recommended Leila we decided we would put all our faith in her and it was the best thing we could have done. She was so kind in the way she guided us into forming a new rhythm with Otto, and really this new rhythm happened very quickly – after the first 24 hours he was feeding in the day again and sleeping much more of the night, and now at 5 months he will maybe, though increasingly not, wake up for 10 minutes in the night, but settle himself back to sleep. Most importantly Otto’s got his smiles back, and we’re really enjoying being parents again too.

After two years of very little sleep, I was beginning to feel the effects of sleep deprivation and so was our daughter who was also deeply tired.
From the moment I made contact with Leila, I felt at ease and excited that our daughter’s sleep issues could soon be resolved. Leila produced a two week plan following a 90 minute telephone call and within 24 hours, things were already beginning to change for the better.
Read More
We have just concluded our two weeks with Leila and I’m delighted to say that our daughter now settles herself at nap time and bedtime and she sleeps through the night and we have seen an incredible change in her during the day because she is no longer exhausted and over tired. Previously our daughter at just shy of two years required breast milk and several renditions of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to fall asleep, I would be up with her for a couple of hours during the night and then spend the remainder of the night on her bedroom floor.
Leila is an expert in her field, she goes above and beyond and she has the kindest of hearts. Thank you Leila – we will forever be grateful.

It’s hard to put into words just how much Leila and her sleep support has helped us.
We were very tired and somewhat broken when we came to Leila for help.
However, her kind and gentle approach coupled with her very detailed and easy to follow sleep plan proved to be a winner! She was there every step of the way and was always happy to tweak the plan to make sure it was just right for our family situation. The result is a little lady who enjoys going to bed and sleeps right through.
Thank you Leila! What a star!

Leila,
You have changed both my baby and my life over the last 2 weeks!! Noor now sleeps through the night and settles herself back to sleep for both naps and night-time and this is a massive win for all the family!!
The first 2 days were the hardest but you coached me through these and I was more than ready to cope with baby’s resistance to sleep. I’ve noticed a turnaround from night 3 where Noor fell asleep by herself after less than 5 minutes and slept a whole night without me bringing her in my bed half way through the night!!
Read More
The next few days have been great too, with a bit of trial and error around nap-times but I stuck to the plan you gave me and it worked!!! Noor is so much happier now and full of energy and so am I!!
We went through the clock change and teething without massive pain neither! I now get at least 11 hours uninterrupted sleep at night every night and her naps are well structured and long enough for her to get her energy back!
Thank you so much Leila I’m forever grateful for you holding my hand and being available days and nights to help me through the sleep mission!!!

I’d gone 7 months praying my son would just ‘get better’ at sleeping. We’d have some fab nights of 4-5 hour stretches and then weeks and weeks of waking 1-2 hourly to feed! I was due back to work and desperately seeking help (and sleep!)
Leila was kind, patient and so so supportive, and within 2 weeks my boy was sleeping 11 hours straight AND napping in the day in his own cot!!

His mood in the day is much less scatty and his milestones are coming on so fast now, which I’m sure has some part to do with how much good sleep he’s getting!
I never felt unable to ask her questions and I never felt unsupported the entire way through our process!
I’d highly recommend to anyone this safe, caring approach to helping both you and your child get a great and well needed nights sleep!!

Night wakes were variable from 1 to 3. It would take sometimes over an hour to get him back to sleep. His sleep aid was milk. He would go to sleep drinking it and then would have 2 or 3 bottles in the night. Little did I know how much this was affecting him.
Read More
His moods were often very grumpy due to being over-tired and he was constipated.
In swooped Leila…. and now I have a child who at 1pm lays in his cot, puts himself to sleep (no milk) and wakes at 2. Come 7pm he does the same and we don’t hear from him again until 6am.
I had to deal with a very sceptical husband and various family members but I stood strong and now everyone thinks it is brilliant.
His moods are better, he eats way more in the day and he is no longer constipated. All round this sleep training is money well spent.
Leila is so lovely and couldn’t be more helpful if she tried.
Next baby, I will not be waiting nearly 2 years!

We weren’t even sure that his sleep issues were fixable, he had never slept more than 3 hours in a row his whole life, but in our first phone conversation Leila reassured us that he was, in fact, perfectly normal and we would be able to improve his sleep. I was excited to start our two weeks, and I wasn’t wrong to be! Within days we could see a huge improvement, in both night time sleep and naps – he was no longer refusing to nap!! I suddenly found myself with time during the day, where I used to be feeding/rocking/walking/driving (you name it, we tried it!) my baby to sleep.
Leila was so helpful and approachable, she was available every day for questions and support, and she was able to help shape my baby’s schedule from 3-4 short naps a day to 2 long naps within a couple of days. I cannot begin to express how much it’s changed my life! My husband is away this week and for the first time since the baby was born I wasn’t dreading it, in fact – I actually looked forward to the evenings to watch what I wanted on tv!
The only negative is that we have now had to cancel the cleaner, because of all the free time I now have!!
Thank you Leila, and thank you babysleepthenight

When I contacted Leila our son was 11 months old and although easy to settle at night he was still being feed to sleep and his naps during the day were all over the place and short. Night times he would get up maybe twice in a good night and five or six in bad night. At these wakes he would either need to fall asleep on Mum or Dad or be fed to sleep, but this wasn’t a guarantee he would stay settled.

Leila coached us through the techniques and was so supportive throughout, we couldn’t have done it without her. And now 2 weeks after starting with Leila our son now sleeps 12 hours at night and his naps are longer during the day. He is eating more and generally seems like a happier baby. I’m also managing to get some rest too!
The best money we have spent and wish we had done it sooner.

We are so thankful to have found Leila. Our stubborn five year old was constantly out of bed at bedtimes, finding endless reasons why he needed to get out of bed or talk to us, and just would not settle or go to sleep. He was like a Duracell bunny that just kept on going until eventually, normally around 9.30-10pm his batteries would run out and he’d give in to sleep. This had been going on for well over a year, and he was tired, but still winning the bedtime battle every night.

Then along came Leila.
Throughout the whole process, right from the initial consultation telephone call, Leila has been a joy to work with – kind, non-judgmental, and reassuring. She was confident that she could get bedtime back on track and drew up a detailed plan for us to follow. We were 100% committed to following the plan, but were still sceptical, thinking ‘she really has met her match with our son’. A switched on, resourceful and tenacious little boy, he did his best to resist the new routine finding new solutions to her changes. We received regular guidance, a tweak here or there to the plan, and daily reassurance, which was wonderful – it really did keep us on track. It took our son longer than most to accept the new routine, due to his age, however after a month of consistently following Leila’s plan, he is now going to bed, staying there and going straight to sleep every night without a fuss. We still can’t quite believe it. A big thank you to Leila for all her help and patience – our son was certainly a tricky case who presented a real challenge! We’d definitely recommend her to anybody with children having sleep difficulties.

We were apprehensive to start as our daughter is still so young, and had generally been a great sleeper until 3/4months! However Leila reassured us that we were helping our baby’s sleeping habits for life and that a good night sleep was fundamental to her development.

The plan she set was gentle and after one initial tough bedtime (still taking less than half the usual time) our daughter is sleeping though the night! The real proof has been watching her get herself back to sleep in the middle of the night with no crying at all, even with a bad cold! We are all so well rested, she is so much happier throughout the day, and we are able to the best parents we can be! Thank you so much Leila x

Your support and guidance has been amazing. The way you explained things was so easy to understand and it all made complete sense. As well as sleeping through the night Jacob now also had a 2 hour nap a day in his cot which is lovely as he has never napped in his cot.
I am really confident with the new sleep routine and am so pleased and relieved with how well it has all worked out.
I would highly recommend you to anyone that is struggling with their little ones sleep. Your positivity is incredible and that played a massive part in us sticking to the plan.
Thank you so so much. What you have done for us is greatly appreciated x x

I was struggling with my 18 month old daughter not sleeping through the night and waking up for bottles and dummy’s all night. This was resulting in her not eating much during the day and she was just in an awful routine. I had tried everything but she just wouldn’t give up her bottle and dummy.

From the first phone call I had with Leila she was so understanding and reassuring and told me it wasn’t my fault. The plan she made up for my daughter seemed scary but she was with me every step of the way. Any time I needed her she was there to give me advice.
When I was told we were going to take the dummy and bottle away I was very sceptical and worried. The first night my daughter cried for 45 mins but not screaming and only woke a couple of times but put herself back to sleep.
My daughter now sleeps through the night and it’s the best thing I ever decided to do both for myself and her.
I would highly recommend Leila, she made the whole thing so much easier and I have her to thank that my daughter now sleeps through the night.
Best money I ever spent and we now have a happy mummy and daddy and a happy daughter. She’s eating so much more, she’s full of energy every day and bed times are now enjoyable rather than stressful.
Thank you Leila xxxx

I was naïve as to how much my life style and living environment had changed since having my last child. In my view Meg was a “difficult baby” a “nightmare at night time” she was waking up at night and we were all struggling, especially Meg. It was not until I had a chat with Leila that I found out the night time struggle could be manged and that with a consistent plan was all that was needed.

Leila is kind, understanding and I did not feel judged. For the first time I felt like I had control of the sleep situation. I was guided by Leila and now have the confidence to support Meg at night time. Meg is now such a happy baby and both her and her sisters get to enjoy a well rested mama.
Leila we cannot thank you enough for your help.

She is the most kind and patient person you could have the pleasure to work with. She explains clearly all her methods and always ensures you fully understand how and why they are going to work. Even if it gets a little bit tricky Leila is on hand to set you straight again.
