HELPING EXHAUSTED FAMILIES SLEEP AGAIN...
Infant & Child Sleep Consultant
Hello,
I'm Charlie
Fellow Mumma • Registered Nurse •
Internationally Certified Infant & Child Sleep Consultant.
With over 20 years of nursing experience, I combine my clinical & sleep knowledge with real-life parenting experience to support families through the challenges of infant and child sleep.
As a Mumma of boys, I understand the exhaustion, uncertainty, and emotional load that comes with broken sleep. I created Sleepy Little Bears to be the village that many families need — offering sound advice & practical support to help your family thrive & not just survive.
I want to share my knowledge so I can set your gorgeous family up for sleeping success and make sure you enjoy the beautiful chaos of family life.
Let's Sleep!
Sleep is a vital process that allows our bodies and minds to rest, recover, and thrive. It plays an important role in your child’s growth, development, emotional wellbeing, and overall health — and it is just as important for you as a parent.
If you’re facing frequent night wakings, challenging nap times, bedtime battles, or you’re feeling completely exhausted and running on empty, please know you’re not alone.
At Sleepy Little Bears, I’m here to support you every step of the way. Whether you need gentle guidance and reassurance throughout the process, or simply someone in your corner cheering you on, my goal is to educate, empower, and provide you with the knowledge and tools to help your family move towards better sleep.
Together, we can create a calmer, more restful sleep journey for your little one — and for your whole family.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is sleep training and what methods do you use?
The goal of sleep training is to teach your sleepy little bear to fall asleep independently on their own without needing to be rocked, fed or soothed to sleep by you. This is known as self-settling, there are several approaches that can be used to achieve this after all one size does not fit all!
I take a holistic approach, so I look at all the different factors that influence your child’s sleep. These can include your child’s sleep environment, their routine/awake windows, how they are feeding, their nutrition and current settling techniques that you may be using. I can then work out an approach that suits your lovely family whether it be a gentle hands on approach or a more structured approach and help you on the journey to better sleep!
How does it all work?
Once we agree to work together and full payment has been received, I will ask you to fill out a detailed intake questionnaire form, this will me give me an insight and understanding of your parenting style and your baby’s temperament. From this information I’ll be able to have an insight into your child’s sleep and any struggles you might be having. We’ll then have a 45 mins - 60 mins phone consultation and we’ll talk in more detail about the sleep issues you are experiencing, I’ll help you have a better understanding to why your little one is sleeping this way and what we need to do to help them sleep better.
I will then create your bespoke sleep plan and identify which settling technique will work best for your child, family and parenting style. Once we have agreed on a start date, you will be ready to roll! Depending on your chosen package it may include daily sleep log reviews and phone call & text support. Please see my Services page for full details.
How long does sleep training take?
Every child and situation is different and unique, so learning a new skill and the time it may take is very much dependent on baby’s age, their temperament, the chosen settling technique and most importantly how consistent a parent is at implementing these changes.
Improvements are usually seen in the first few days of sleep training. Some methods come together quickly within 3-5 days and some take slightly longer 14+ days to consolidate.
It takes a Village......
In this beautiful part of the world we have thriving connections and if you’re looking for support beyond sleep I can help you connect with additional services. Remember,
“It takes a village to raise a child.” ― African Proverb.
An expression that embodies the sprit and importance of community when raising a child. It really is ok to reach out for support xxxx
