Hi, I'm Anna, and I Know Sleepless Nights
A baby sleep consultant Sydney families have trusted for over 17 years, and a mum of two. I help families find gentle, evidence-based sleep, in-home across Sydney and online Australia-wide.
My Background and Experience
I am Anna Baker, a baby sleep consultant Sydney families have trusted for over 17 years, and a mum of two. I know first-hand the exhaustion that comes with sleepless nights, especially when you are juggling work and parenting. I started SleepBaker because I saw too many parents being told to either cry it out or just wait it out, and neither felt right to me. There had to be a better way, one grounded in evidence and rooted in gentleness.
With over 17 years as a qualified infant sleep specialist, my team and I have supported more than 34,000 families, from the newborn haze right through to the peak of the 2 year sleep regression. My work has been featured across Channel 7, 9Honey, Kidspot, the Australian Financial Review and ABC, but what matters most to me is the families I get to help, one settled night at a time. When you work with SleepBaker, you are not getting a one-size-fits-all script, you are getting the exact approach that thousands of Sydney parents recommend by name.

Gentle, Evidence-Based, Personalised
Everything we do rests on three commitments. First, gentle: we never leave a baby to cry alone, and we keep you present and supported throughout. Second, evidence-based: our methods are grounded in current infant sleep science, not trends or guesswork. Third, personalised: we start with your specific baby's age, temperament and circumstances, and your family's own goals, and build a plan that genuinely fits.
This is what makes the difference between advice that sounds good and support that actually works. Two families with similar problems often walk away with genuinely different plans, because the right approach always depends on the people involved.
How We're Different
Plenty of services promise to fix your baby's sleep. What sets SleepBaker apart is honesty and genuine personalisation. If we think your baby is too young for formal training, we will tell you. If a gentle foundations approach will serve you better than a full program, that is what we will recommend, not the biggest package we can sell.
We also stay with you. Sleep keeps evolving as your baby grows, so our support does not end when a program does. Follow-up guidance helps you through the regressions, transitions and questions that come with every new stage, because our goal is a genuinely well-rested family, for the long term.
