"Babies don't respond to pressure. They respond to support, To consistency and to feeling safe in their world."
ESSENTIAL BABY SLEEP FACTS:
New born Sleep Patterns: New borns have short sleep cycles (40–50 minutes) and spend 50% of their time in REM (active) sleep.
Irregular Cycles: Babies do not have regular sleep-wake cycles (circadian rhythms) until about 4 months of age.
"Sleeping Through" Definition: In baby terms, this often means a 5–6 hour stretch, not a full 8–12 hour adult night.
Night Waking: It is normal for babies to wake at 4–5 months & 8–9 months, even if they previously slept through the night, often due to growth spurts, hunger, or teething.
-
Total Sleep Time:
-
0–3 Months: 14–17 hours per 24 hours.
-
4–12 Months: 12–16 hours per 24 hours.
-
1–2 Years: 11–14 hours per 24 hours.
-
"If any of these common challenges sound familiar, you're not alone... I've been there and hear you. So many other families have sought help for the same issues."
FREQUENT NIGHT WAKINGS:
Your little one wake multiple times each night and struggles to re settle without assistance.
BEDTIME BATTLES:
Putting your child to bed becomes a battle of the wills, lengthy including tears and resistance.
SHORT NAPS:
Could be due to hunger, an unsuitable sleeping environment, being over or under tired. Difficulties in self soothing leading to irritability and disrupted sleep patterns.
DAY & NIGHT CONFUSIONS:
When your baby struggles to differentiate between day and night time, leading to them sleeping during the day and being awake at night.
SLEEP REGRESSIONS:
A temporary phase—usually lasting 2–4 weeks—where a baby or toddler who was previously sleeping well suddenly starts waking at night, resisting naps, or becoming fussy. These regressions are normal, often coinciding with developmental milestones (crawling, walking), growth spurts, or teething, and typically occur around 4, 6, 8–10 months, and the 1-year mark.
… I'm here to get you the rested sleep you deserve!
"We can’t thank Helena enough for the incredible difference she has made to our family’s life. Our 9-month-old twins, Rowan and Evelyn, had been waking frequently through the night and their naps were all over the place, particularly Evelyn. We were exhausted and unsure where we were going wrong.
From the moment we spoke to Helena, her calm, reassuring approach put us at ease. She listened carefully to our concerns, assessed our unique situation, and gave us a clear, gentle, and tailored plan that felt achievable — even for two babies at once!
Within days we saw results. Helena’s guidance not only got Rowan and Evelyn sleeping solidly from 7pm to 7am, but also established consistent, restorative naps during the day. Our babies are happier, more settled, and well-rested — and so are we!
Helena’s support went far beyond “just” giving a plan. She checked in regularly, answered every question with patience and kindness, and celebrated each small win with us. She truly cared about our success and the wellbeing of our whole family.
If you are struggling with your child’s sleep, I cannot recommend Helena!"

I would 100% reccomend Helena and her sleep coaching service. My little girl is almost 2 years old and was sleeping in bed with me most of the time. She wasn’t napping much in the day either. I reached out to Helena and chose her 1 week course, after 2 nights my little girl was sleeping through in her own room. Day 7 and the naps are consistent and my little girl is having 12 hours sleep with no wake ups.
I can’t reccomend Helena enough and I am so thankful for all her help and guidance and constant reassurance.

I contacted Helena when I needed help with my 5 year old and his early waking.
She was so friendly with lots of invaluable advice and put a plan together which I started straight away. After a few days he went from sleeping 10 hours to 11.5! She kept checking in every few days to see how things were going and I felt I could message her with any questions or worries. I now know what to do going forward and will contact Helena again if I need anymore help. If you’re looking for help then contact Helena today! You have to put the work in if you want results but trust the process, she knows what she’s doing
