Leila Baker
I have worked within the NHS for nearly 10 years and working to support parents and their families through some of their hardest and happiest times is deeply important to me. I believe if families and their babies are well from the start then society does well as a whole.
For the last 6 years I have combined this passion with working as a sleep consultant.
The reason this work matters to me-It is not selfish to need to sleep. I believe a good night’s sleep not only benefits both parents and babies’ physical wellbeing but supports emotional and mental wellbeing in abundance.
Do I have a magic wand instant fix? No. Learning new habits takes time and that is why I offer a comprehensive two-week support plan. I use a very responsive method. In my experience parents can be consistent if they are being responsive. I will tailor the feedback, support and guidance to your baby’s own unique developmental journey and responses to the programme. You can be sure we will leave no stone unturned that means your baby will be in discomfort throughout any part of the process. In short you won’t need to second guess yourself anymore. Every baby is different and that is why we work together for two weeks. I have a wealth of knowledge and experience in breastfeeding, developmental care and reflux meaning you can entrust me to give you the best advice to meet your families and littles individual needs.
I understand the judgement parents can feel, and the overwhelming conflicting advice there is out there can leave you feeling more confused than ever.
If you are considering getting some help or just want to talk thing’s through to find out if I am the right fit for you, please contact me to book a free 30 min call.
Please note I work with children 4.5 months up to 5 years of age.

One-to-One Sleep Solutions Package
This is the most popular package, and consists of:-
A preliminary evaluation. This is a comprehensive questionnaire about your child’s sleep habits and routines that you’ll fill out prior to our meeting. (Having this information in advance helps us make the most of our time together).
Four follow-up telephone calls during the first week following the consultation. These follow-up calls last about 15 minutes, and we’ll use this time to deal with any setbacks you might be having or answer any general questions.
One week of email support. After your four follow-up telephone calls have been used, you still have an additional week of email support where you can email me once daily, excluding Sundays I will always aim to reply to your queries within one working day.
The total cost for the One-to-One Sleep Solutions package for a baby or toddler in a cot is £290 by Skype/Facetime/Phone. If your child is in a bed this package is £320 due to the complexity of the plan.
The Refresher
It is not uncommon for babies and toddlers who have been taught to be great sleepers to ‘test the boundaries’ from time to time. This option is for parents who have met with me in the past, but are looking for a ‘refresher’. This is a popular option for past clients who have recently had a new baby – or who are expecting in the near future. It consists of:-
A private, 60 minute consultation, usually by phone or by Skype, during which we’ll use to discuss any particular challenges you are having with your child. Since we’ve already worked together, a full hour is usually more than enough time to cover all your questions and concerns.
Optional 2x follow-up emails that you can use to send me any additional questions that might come up as you get things back on track. I’ll aim to respond to your email within one day.
The total cost for the Refresher Package 60 minute consultation is £190, with 2x optional emails £220

With a little nap time tweaking, our baby who was previously waking every 2 hours, slept through on the first night! Transitioning to naps in the cots was a little tricker, as baby had been used to feeding to sleep on me, but Leila is calm, measured and confident in her approach, which helps you to feel the same. Following her advice, and supported by her encouragement, we were able to support xx to be self soothing happily in the cot by the end of the week, and three months later still sleeps 3+ hours in the cot a day, and 12hours+ at night. Personally, I am so grateful for Leila. She guides you through step by step and her approach really works. My children are so much happier for a full nights sleep – and so are we as parents!

Something I found incredible about this start to our journey together was how honest Leila was in discussing when to start the program. We didn’t feel pressured to proceed when we weren’t ready and honestly, it felt like she was helping us through, before we’d even got started!
Leila laid out the program very clearly for us in our initial call and provided a written copy detailing everything. It is difficult to trust someone else with decisions about your child, but Leila was so knowledgeable in answering any questions we had, that I felt confident we were able to follow the program precisely. A concern that I had with sleep training was that I wouldn’t be going to my child when he might need me, however I found Leila’s method doesn’t feel that way at all. I felt that I was really there with him while he learnt a new skill, as a supportive presence.
Teddy took to the program really well and developed his sleep skills quite quickly, given he was waking for hours, multiple times a night, not 48 hours before starting! Anything that happened that we didn’t quite understand, or wasn’t sure how to deal with, Leila was there with an answer. The support that she offers throughout the 2 weeks was incredible and while I was initially concerned about the withdrawal of support from text to email to the end our two weeks, I’ve come to realise that it’s the same method we used to help Teddy! She teaches you how to help your child yourself, so you can get them to sleep without her help by the time you’ve finished the program. We have developed a new intuition when it comes to his sleep where we can now make decisions that allow for some flexibility and also help us to recognise why he is responding a certain way. And, if we get stuck, I know that I can contact Leila for support.
We have gone from a situation where we were shells of our former selves, with a grumpy sleep deprived baby and had absolutely no idea what to do, to confident and in control parents who have a great tool kit of how to respond to our child’s sleep needs and a much happier baby!
Thank you Leila

So when our second baby was born, I thought I had all the tools in my locker and that this time, I knew how to get my baby to sleep. I was almost embarrassed to contact Leila again when, 7 months down the line, we found ourselves in the same situation with a baby who just didn’t want to sleep anywhere that wasn’t on mummy. All day and all night. I was exhausted and I knew that I needed support.
When we started our sleep journey with Leila, Wren would only nap in a baby carrier or buggy, but it had started getting harder and harder to get her to sleep even this way. At night we co-slept but she was the only one getting any sleep, we were all exhausted and our eldest just wasn’t getting the attention he should have because I felt like I was constantly trying to get the baby to sleep. Leila was at the end of the phone for support every day, and the difference in Wrens sleep was almost instant. The first night she slept the whole night in her cot, which I had begun to think would be impossible. Naps were harder to crack, and Leila was amazing at tweaking timings and giving us support to get through the hard bits – wren had always needed motion to sleep and found it tricky adjusting to sleeping in a cot, but we got there before the end of our two weeks together.
This was almost 6 months ago now and I can honestly say, Leila completely changed our parenting journey, again. Wren used to feed to sleep, every hour all night. She had reflux, and the constant feeding at night meant constant vomiting. Milk soaked bed sheets and an uncomfortable baby. This all improved massively once she start sleeping for longer stretches and not feeding so frequently, and we weaned her off medication 4 months ago. We have been on holiday, had a particularly challenging bout of teething, and clock change over these last 6 months and still she sleeps!
Thank you Leila for the support, for helping us to believe that we can ‘fix’ something that felt unfixable.

My 6 month old Carla was wakening up every 45-60 minutes all during the night and needed me to feed her back to sleep. This had been an issue since she turned four months and I had tried to break the cycle with no joy.
Read More
I started working with Leila and from the first consultation I really felt like she listened to me and showed genuine care and compassion for my current struggles with Carla’s sleep. This made a real difference to me and helped my motivation to move forward with my plan to tackle the sleep challenges.
On the second night of the sleep plan Carla slept nine hours straight and then twelve hours on the third night. Carla now sleeps twelve hours every night with no night wakening and no feeds, and has two quality naps a day.
I found I was able to trust Leila fully as she used her expert knowledge together with a person centred approach to ensure she offered a plan that was right for Carla and myself. The results from working with Leila exceeded any expectations I had for Carla’s sleep and I will be forever thankful to Leila for the kindness and support she offered me. I cannot recommend Leila highly enough to anyone thinking about seeking support.

My partner and I would still have to sleep in shifts, all of us would get sick all the time, we felt exhausted and genuinely dreaded night times. We did this for almost three years. Then we worked with Leila and after only two or three nights of applying her method, tailored flexibly to our needs and preferences, Leo started sleeping through the night. We hit another rough patch after going on a trip and dealing with some illness the week after, but just reapplied the method and for the past few months, Leo just sleeps at night and so do we. We no longer get sick all the time – night time has again become a time of recuperation. Leo is much more rested during the day. It was truly eye-opening to understand his patterns and sleep needs better – and we feel confident we know how to handle the upcoming transition away from naps and other life changes that might throw off his sleep schedule. I used to be quite skeptical of sleep training in general, so it’s been a real journey for all the work with Leila to sink in, but now that it has, we are just so grateful and have recommended her to friends and colleagues with babies and small kids.

I had an 8 and a half month old boob loving baby who would pretty much only be fed to sleep. After months and months of getting up numerous times in the night hoping things would change and I might be able to get a solid amount of sleep they never did and I was exhausted. This impacted on everything and all aspects of mine and babas life. My fear was that I was going to be back at work soon and I would never be able to manage the way we were.

I was recommended Leila by friends and she was absolutely amazing. She was so supportive throughout and you can tell how much passion she has for baby sleep and how much she genuinely wants to help. Even though my baby got a cold not long after starting the plan, Leila had him sleeping 11-12 hours solid a night after a week, with 2 naps a day in his cot. I now have a clean house, an even happier baby and I have the energy for exercise each day which is a massive turn around.
It used to upset me when people kept on asking ‘is your baby sleeping through yet?’ and I would have to keep saying no. Friends and family were sceptical about us using a sleep therapist and they didn’t believe that things would change. Now when they ask I can say YES! And shout it from the rooftops and it was down to Leila.
I could go on and on but this is honestly the best thing I have ever spent my money on. If you’re thinking about using Leila, do it, you won’t regret it.

By six months she was waking up 6-7 times per night, and we were losing our sanity.
Leila put together a comprehensive plan that was clear and easy to understand and followed this up with an in-depth call in which we got everything we needed to know in order to start right away.
Although the first night was challenging, on the second night, we saw a really massive improvement – and we came to realise that our daughter didn’t need us to tend to her at night, and that she could learn to self soothe almost immediately.
The support throughout has been invaluable. Leila talked us through tricky situations, such as a cold and an ear infection which could’ve derailed the whole sleep schedule without her help. We stayed on track and after a couple of weeks our daughter was sleeping through from 7 pm to 7 am with the odd wake up , during which she self soothes after a minute. We have our evenings back as well as a decent nights sleep, and that is priceless – thank you Leila! Don’t give into the fear that you will have to listen to your baby crying for hours as that will likely not be the case. They are more adaptable than you realise – work with Leila and you’ll soon see!

Leila has been amazing to work with, great tailored advice and always there for some back up and reassurance when needed. She has also informed me of things to watch out for in the future regarding illness, nap changes and holidays so I am now well equipped to tackle any changes in the future with my little one’s sleep. It has made all the difference to everyone in the family as we finally all get a good nights sleep and has meant I have been able to return to work without the worry of not sleeping and with a nap schedule I have been able to translate easily to the nursery environment.’

We decided to take up sleep training with Leila. From the outset I had no expectations just that hopefully I would get some useful tips.
From the first conversation with Leila, I knew that we were doing the right thing. She was supportive, empathetic to the whole situation and seemed extremely knowledgeable.
So we started our sleep training and Leila was extremely supportive throughout the whole process easing any anxieties I had and answering any questions that occurred.
We had now experienced our boy sleeping all the way through the night!
I am so thankful for Leilas help throughout the two-week period. It felt like nothing was too silly too ask.
If you are having sleep issues with your child I highly recommend getting into contact with Leila.
Thank you again for all your support!

Having been at the point of sobbing for hours at the side of her cot for months I was willing to try anything else, so we gave the plan Leila made our all. The changes made to our routine made a huge difference quite quickly, We are also at the teething age, so this was always a concern that she was in pain. After. Now 4 weeks on she is sleeping 7-7 90%+ of the time. Occasional wake ups but very quick to resettle. We are so happy we came to Leila and put our faith in her! We can now say working with her has changed our lives too!!
Leila was brilliant to work with and being a mum herself, she’s very understanding and caring in all conversations we had. She was great at checking in with us every day and explaining stages and reasoning very well.
Thank you again!!

We had been having trouble getting our 2-and-a-half-year-old daughter to sleep for a long time. In addition, we were having problems with night wakes and her coming into our bed in the middle of the night.
Read More
Exhausted, seriously sleep deprived and desperate, we decided to hire a sleep consultant and found Leila online. We completed a questionnaire and had our first 90-minute call with Leila.
Leila was brilliant from start to finish. She gave us a detailed plan but with simple steps to follow. We noticed good results within the first few nights. Before the end of the two-week plan, our daughter was happily falling asleep within minutes and, as importantly, staying asleep throughout the night.
Leila gave us close and continuous support through the plan. This included phone calls, emails and WhatsApp messages, often early in the morning and late at night. She was able to answer all of our questions and provided excellent moral support.
Fast forward a couple of weeks after the plan finished and we are in a really good place regarding sleep. We now have our evenings back and get far more sleep. Most importantly, our daughter goes to bed happy. She likes the routine and feels safe and secure in the knowledge that she knows what’s coming.
We cannot recommend Leila highly enough to parents who are experiencing sleep problems with their children. In fact, we have recommended her to several friends and colleagues who are having similar difficulties.

We’d got into some bad habits with our 3 year old son (who had recently dropped his nap) and our 5 year old daughter (who was waking after every sleep cycle). We were up between 4 and 8 times a night, awake for the day anywhere between 4:30 and 5:30, sleeping on the kids’ floors for them to sleep, dishing out empty threats that we never followed through with.
Leila has helped us to have an enjoyable bedtime routine, re-establish boundaries, and most importantly – sleep ALL night EVERY night. I now know that our kids will both sleep through and it’s a dream to go to bed knowing that I’m going to sleep. I no longer have the bedtime fear! I wasn’t sure it was possible, especially with our 5 year old who is very sensitive, stubborn and definitely an early bird, but she’s smashed it! Thank you so much Leila – our sleep fairy

So…after Callum NEVER sleeping through the night from the moment he was born until 16months and only having the odd 15-20 minute nap I was near to breaking point but after contacting you and following the plan we now have our evenings back! We have a very happy mummy (…and also a happier boy)! There are now no fights with Callum to go off for a nap or bedtime and no arguments between mark and I of who’s turn it is to go upstairs to try and settle him (rocking him and staying with him until he is fully asleep). We have time to listen to our eldest read to us before his bedtime again and the whole bedtime routine (and the “fun” around it) is very pleasurable and it is lovely to watch the boys giggling and enjoying playtime/bath time/story time before bed. Nursery and my mum follow the same routine you drew up for us and all say what a dream he is to go off for his nap. The fact that he can now self-settle is a GAME CHANGER!
We honestly cannot thank you enough for all your support during our 2-week plan!

Leila was able to do that, she gave me a 2-week plan and a whole new routine for my baby which worked within 2 days! Getting rid of the dummy was part of the plan which scared me to even think about at first, but he forgot about it within a day of not having it! He has slept through the night since and is now completely dummy free, he is able to self soothe to sleep and resettle himself if he is to wake up. I cannot recommend Leila enough; she is so patient and calm, and she guides you throughout the whole process! Hands down the best thing I have ever done, was worth the money!”
Again, Thank you so much for all your help!

Being on my 3rd child I thought I didn’t need a sleep consultant, but sometimes lack of sleep makes it hard to make decisions let alone implement them and Leila provided me with the support I needed to work through where it was working and where it wasn’t. The little tweaks to the routine etc.

We also finished our breast-feeding journey really naturally and he was sleeping through, after falling asleep independently, within 3 nights. He’s also eating really well and he’s in such a better mood every day. As am I!
The thing I value most is looking back (after 3/4 weeks now) and realising how well he’s done and how far we’ve come. He’s responded so well to the gentle nudges, and it’s never been hard or aggressive.
Our bond is just as strong, our cuddles just as sweet and my favourite time of day is story and bedtime. He now ASKS to get in bed!
I highly recommend Leila- we are a prime example that there’s never a perfect time to sleep train, you just need to get started and I’m so very glad I picked up the phone to Leila when I did.
Thank you!

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.
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.”

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
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.

William had used a dummy since he was born for his naps and bedtime and had started to ask for his dummy more and more and it had started to interfere with his sleep so knew it had to go!
Read More
From the first phone call with Leila I felt supported and understood, it was quite a relief! Leila made us a comprehensive sleep plan for William and talked us through how we would ditch the dummy! I felt empowered going into the plan knowing I had all the information I needed and knowing I had Leila’s support for two whole weeks.
William now sleeps 11-12 hours a night, is so much happier and doesn’t need his dummy anymore! We couldn’t recommend Leila enough! Thank you for your kindness and support Leila!

Day naps were infrequent and mostly on the go buggy or cap naps which would never last more than an hour. We had let things go as I was at home and our baby was always happy in herself and did not seem sleep deprived, however, with a return to work for me and nursery looming we knew we needed to take action to give our baby a routine which would make her feel secure and ready for the changes that separation and nursery would bring. From start to finish Leila was supportive, understanding and reassuring. She took time to listen to our needs and created a plan which would support our family. We had an amazing start to the programme and a tricky mid-section where after 5 days our baby decided she would not settle at all, but with the calm and considered guidance Leila provided we persevered and from day 7 she was self-settling, sleeping 12 hours a night and had regular day naps which she took in her cot. We are now a few months along and we follow the routine set by Leila daily. Our baby is still very happy and now loves her bedtimes and sleep is something that we can now all appreciate! I would strongly recommend getting in touch with Leila to talk things through if you need sleep support, I know that I investigated it but put it off for months. Our little girl is sleep secure thanks to Leila.

Thanks so much for all your advice, it’s really solidified my resolve and gave me confidence to follow through with everything. I’ve really noticed keeping his two fave teddies in the cot during the day has worked a treat getting him excited about going to bed and he gives me zero problems putting him down. It’s amazing! He has the white noise all night so I’m sure that’s helped with the early wakes too, the neighbours no longer waking him up at 6am.

There wasn’t excessive crying or feeling like we were being mean parents – Leila helped to make sure we let it be led by Felix’s needs. Naps were hard!!! But Leila was so good at checking in with us, and really listening when we were struggling, and adapting the routine as we needed. She also didn’t seem to mind our endless questions! We are now sleeping all through the night, plus have chunks of our day to get on with things. An additional unexpected consequence was how much the sleep training helped with everything else! We’re in such a good routine now with sleeping, eating and playing, and Felix is so much happier and more content! New parents really don’t need to be sleep deprived!

My 3yr old daughter was taking over an hour to put to bed and was having multiple night wakes, usually ending up in my bed. I was exhausted.
Leila was recommended to me by a friend and I am so grateful. I was amazed at how quickly my daughter adapted to her new sleep routine, after the first night she didn’t need me holding her hand to fall asleep any longer and by night 5 I was saying goodnight and leaving the room without any fuss. We also had no night wakes after 2nights and she now sleeps 12hours with no issues at all, I am so impressed!

By night 3 he went to bed, no fuss and was asleep in his own bed in 20 minutes! A miracle in our eyes! There were ups and downs but Leila was supportive throughout, making sure we didn’t second guess ourselves and steer us in the right direction. In two weeks she managed to turn around a years worth of bad sleep habits, we only wish we had found her sooner!
Thanks again for your help and in the nicest possible way, I hope we don’t need to contact you!

I can just put him down awake now and he settles himself without much fuss at all. We are all so much more rested and our little boy is so much happier.

To anyone considering sleep training I would say go for it as it really works! Thanks Leila 🙂 x

Our little boy had always been a bad sleeper, we would have to rock him to sleep and very gently put him in his cot fully asleep and hope he’d stay asleep. He was also completely reliant on a dummy to stay asleep and we’d often be in and out of his room, replacing the dummy when it had fallen out and he’d woken as a result. Leila listened to everything and assured me she could help. I liked the fact that it wasn’t too tough – we could stay with him until he finally fell asleep so he didn’t feel abandoned. I won’t pretend it was immediate, the first 2-3 nights were fairly grim because he just couldn’t understand what was happening but by night 4, he took 12 minutes to fall asleep and then stayed asleep all night until 7am. I literally couldn’t believe it. By the end of the 2 weeks, he was fairly reliably going off to sleep on his own with minimal fussing.
Seeing Leila was a game changer for us, we can now pop him in bed at 7pm and get on with our evening, knowing that if he does wake up, he knows how to settle himself off to sleep again and then in the morning he is full of smiles for us. We genuinely have a happier baby now that he is getting proper sleep and as a result, my husband and I are also much happier!

With a few small tweaks to her bedtime routine, Evie started consistently sleeping past 6.30 and often to 7am. Leila was so supportive and made everything so clear and easy to follow. We were also having huge battles with bath time before working with Leila and with her support we were able to sort this too and Evie’s now loving her baths again.

However, from the first conversation, Leila instilled confidence, helping me to believe that things could be better for the whole family and a full night’s sleep was achievable. She was upfront and honest about what we would need to do, but also reassuring, kind and understanding. Leila was thorough, getting to know my son and our family as a whole, and I felt like she understood the situation. Throughout the time we worked with Leila, she always went over and above what we expected, and was always available to answer questions and provide guidance. She explained her reasons for doing things and was always patient and approachable. I felt that I could completely trust her judgement. With a very clear and structured plan, the whole process was much easier and gentler than I imagined, and within days, my son was sleeping through the night. The naps have been more challenging but we’re getting there now. I cannot recommend Leila highly enough and would encourage anyone who is struggling to get in touch with her. As a family we are now all getting the sleep we need and are much happier for it. We are so grateful to Leila for all of her help and support, and her passion and commitment to her work is amazing. Thank you, Leila,!

She wakes up so happy and so full of energy now she is getting such good quality sleep and it has been amazing having Leila’s full support, guidance and expertise through every step. All I can say is I wish we had done this sooner and not lost so much sleep up until this point! For anybody who is considering taking this step I really urge you to pick up the phone and just have a chat with Leila! I instantly felt like she could help our family so booked onto her course and started as soon as I could. Thank you for everything Leila! Love from a very well rested family xxx

I was nervous at first as my little one had a dummy that she was very attached to day and night and it was always a long process to get her to sleep and we never knew how long she was going to sleep for, so I thought it was going to be a difficult process, but she took to the plan pretty much straight away. She napped in her cot on the first day we started the plan for the first time since she was born. She adapted so quickly to having the milk and dummy taken away and she slept through the night for 12 hours after only a couple of days. I couldn’t believe the change that the sleep plan has made, she now goes straight down in her cot and is asleep after about 5 minutes and she sleeps through for 12 hours a night. The change for all of us getting a good nights sleep has been invaluable! We can’t thank Leila enough and if you are considering sleep training I would highly recommend.’

On our second night with Leila, my youngest slept 11 hours. After a week I was walking out of their room after a goodnight kiss and they were going off to sleep themselves. And by night 14 they were both sleeping 11/12 hours without waking me at all and this is now the norm. I cant thank leila enough for her support, the girls are calmer, my eldest has come on leaps and bounds at school and I have started university-We couldn’t have got here without you.

Leila took all of the info we gave her about our son & created a bespoke sleep plan for him, which she went through with us in great detail over the phone, also taking the time to answer any questions that we had and discuss the whole process so that we were as prepared as we could be!

When the time came to start the training our ‘little bear’ was a superstar & within 3 days he was not only sleeping through the night for around 12 hours every night, but also was having 2 hour long naps during the day (albeit with the occasional ‘hiccup’). This consistency also really made a difference to his moods, he’s such a happy little chap these days!
I also have to say that the difference that the training has made to my partner has been amazing! The ‘solid sleep’ that she now gets makes all the difference and you know what they say! “Happy Wife = Happy life!”.
As a footnote the training for my eldest son was pretty much identical and he was ‘sleeping through’ within 5 days!. In fact, they are both fast asleep upstairs while I’m writing this! (with the football on in the background mind you!😊)
I can’t recommend Leila highly enough and the money spent was more than worth every penny!

My son Archie was just over 9 months old when I decided something needed to change with his sleep, I was going back to work the following next month and he was currently waking up at least twice a night for comfort feeds and would only feed to sleep for naps and bedtime with no real routine.
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.
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.”

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!’

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.

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.

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!

He also had a dummy which was great when he was a newborn but we soon realised that we were getting up 5/6 times a night to give him his dummy to go back to sleep again. It just seemed to us that the sleep he was getting wasn’t solid sleep like he was just in a light sleep and any small noise would wake him.
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!

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.

If I am honest, I was feeling incredibly low, running on what felt like zero sleep and zero energy, dreading going to bed every night and feeling incredibly guilty at the fact that I wasn’t the mum I so desperately wanted to be during the day because I was so worn out.
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. My partner was extremely skeptical but at the end of the two weeks and one sleeping baby later, even he was impressed!

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.

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!
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!

Leila was understanding & supportive. Since meeting Leila that has all changed. No more crying or shouting ( at all ) no more early wake ups, he wakes up so happy to start his day.

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!

My friend had recommended Leila and I got in touch hoping my little one would be able to fall asleep more easily and nap in his cot. I was still expecting to have to feed him a few times a night and thought very early mornings were just part of having a baby.

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! Leila was so supportive and helpful – she sensitively helped us navigate disruptions from vaccinations and the clocks changing. 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.

Consistently is key and Leila helps to keep us on track

I expected much more crying and was worried how I’d feel about that as she was so young but it was very gentle and she picked it up after the first new bedtime routine. So far less tears than before when she was always overtired.
