What exactly is a baby sleep consultant?
A baby sleep consultant is a trained specialist who helps families establish healthy, age-appropriate sleep habits for babies and toddlers. At SleepBaker, our consultants, led by Anna Baker with 10+ years' experience, use evidence-based, gentle methods tailored to your child's temperament and your family's routine.
Do you use cry-it-out methods?
No, never. SleepBaker only uses gentle, responsive methods. We never leave your baby unsupported or to "cry it out." Our approach is hands-on, and we make sure your baby feels loved and safe while learning how to sleep and self-settle.
Do you offer virtual consultations outside Sydney?
Yes! While our clinic is based in Brookvale on Sydney's Northern Beaches, we offer virtual consultations Australia-wide and internationally. You don't need to be in Sydney to work with us, many of our success stories are interstate and overseas families.
How soon will I see results?
Most families see significant improvement within 3 to 5 nights of starting a sleep training program. Our structured 3-Night and 5-Night programs are designed to deliver lasting change quickly. Follow-up support is always included to make sure the results stick.
What does a Night Nanny do?
Our Night Nannies provide 7pm to 7am in-home overnight care, feeding, settling, and monitoring your baby so you can actually sleep. Rates start at $65/hour for a standard Night Nanny, with options for twins, senior consultants, and newborn specialists.
How much do your services cost?
Our pricing ranges from $69 for a digital Sleep Guide to $5,500 for our most comprehensive programs. Consultations start at $220, Sleep Training programs start at $500 deposit, and In-Home 2-hour consultations are $650. Full pricing is on each service page.
Is sleep training safe for newborns?
Our approach for newborns focuses on gentle routine-building and settling support, not formal sleep training. Formal sleep training is best suited to babies 4 months and up, once they've developed the circadian rhythm and melatonin production needed for longer sleep stretches. For newborns, we offer specialised postpartum support, feeding guidance, and settling techniques that lay the foundation for healthy sleep habits later, without rushing your baby through developmental stages they're not ready for.
What areas of Sydney do you service in-home?
We service the Northern Beaches (including Manly, Dee Why, Brookvale, Mona Vale, and Avalon), North Shore, Inner West, Eastern Suburbs, Sutherland Shire, and Greater Sydney for in-home consultations and night nanny services. Our Brookvale clinic is available for in-clinic sessions Monday to Friday. For families outside Greater Sydney or interstate, virtual support is available anywhere in Australia and internationally via Zoom, with the same expert guidance and follow-up.
