Sleepy Goodness Named Auckland's Best Science-Backed Baby Sleep Consultant for 2026 🏆

I'm so grateful to have been recognised by Betteroo as Auckland's Best Science-Backed Baby Sleep Consultant!

As both a Pharmacist and Certified Baby Sleep Consultant, evidence-based support has always been at the heart of what I do.

If you've worked with me before, you'll know that I believe every baby and every family is different. There's no one-size-fits-all approach to sleep, which is why I tailor my support to your baby's needs, your parenting style, and your family's goals, and make adjustments as we go.

Thank you to every family who has trusted me to be part of your journey. It's such a privilege to support families through very tired seasons.

If your family is struggling with sleep, send me a message with the word "SLEEPY" or book a free sleep assessment call via the link in my bio. I'd love to support you and your baby in getting better rest.

Sleep often falls apart when little ones are unwell.

Extended Pharmacy Services for children under 14 can help you act quickly so your child is more comfortable and your home gets back to rest sooner.

For scabies and head lice, your Pharmacist can also provide treatment for other members of your whānau under the same consultation, helping ensure your whole household is managed appropriately.

➡️ Share this with your friends and whānau who have children under 14 so more Kiwi families know about this funded pharmacy service!

Note: a consultation fee may apply. Babies under 2 years with conjunctivitis still need to see a GP for treatment.

In addition, funded emergency contraception is available for women under 25 years, and funded antibiotic treatment for acute uncomplicated urinary tract infections for eligible women aged 16 to 65 years.

Other acute health conditions and treatment may be added as part of the Extended Pharmacy Services programme in the future.

I wasn't expecting to be kicked out of my own child's bedroom 😂

As a Sleep Consultant, one thing I always encourage parents to do is make bedtime feel positive.

So many children start dreading bedtime because it becomes a time of pressure, battles and frustration.

Lots of connection, a little fun and a predictable routine can go a long way in helping little ones actually enjoy bedtime.

Clearly this little guy was more than ready for me to leave so he could get some sleep. 😅

Tell me, what's the funniest thing your child has said at bedtime?

"We are sooo happy! It's a miracle!"

When this family first reached out, their 5-month-old was taking up to 3 hours to fall asleep, waking every 40-60 minutes day and night and relying on rocking or feeding back to sleep.

They were "exhausted and desperate for more sleep!"

Together, we created a personalised sleep plan that aligned with their baby, their parenting style and their goals.

Within just 48 hours, baby was falling asleep independently, sleep became more settled and Mum and Dad finally got their evenings back.

A beautiful part of this journey was that bedtime transformed from long periods of crying before sleep to a baby who was happy, calm and content at bedtime.

Parents were sending me messages like:

💛 "Happy to be getting ready for bed"
💛 "There was no crying. She was happy in her cot and fell asleep."
💛 "So easy!"

Sleep now felt good for the entire family!

By the end of our two weeks together, they were also enjoying more flexibility - successful pram naps (for a baby who "usually hates the pram!") and car-to-cot transfers that simply weren't possible before.

Because better sleep isn't about being stuck at home or following a rigid routine.

It's about helping your baby develop the skills to sleep well while giving your family more confidence, freedom and enjoyment in everyday life.

If you're feeling exhausted by stressful bedtimes, difficult naps and frequent wakes, I'd love to help. 🤍

Bananas are one of my favourite bedtime snack options for older babies and toddlers.

Here's why:

Bananas are high in nutrients that support healthy sleep:

Magnesium and potassium - support muscle relaxation and help the body wind down.

Tryptophan - used by the body to produce serotonin and melatonin, hormones involved in sleep regulation. Melatonin promotes feelings of sleepiness.

Vitamin B6 - acts as an essential cofactor in the conversion of tryptophan into serotonin, supporting the production of melatonin.

Bananas also provide complex carbohydrates and fibre, helping little tummies feel satisfied for longer and reducing the likelihood of hunger disrupting sleep.

⏰ When offering a bedtime snack, aim for around an hour before bed to allow time for comfortable digestion. Eating too much or too close to bedtime can sometimes have the opposite effect, making it harder for little ones to settle as their tummies are still busy digesting food.

A simple, nutritious option that’s naturally toddler-approved 🍌💛

What’s your little one’s favourite way to eat a banana?

Sudden Unexpected Death in Infancy (SUDI) is one of the leading causes of death in babies under one year of age.

SUDI can occur unexpectedly and may be linked to an underlying medical condition, or factors within a baby's sleep environment. That's why creating a safe sleep space is one of the most important things we can do as parents and caregivers.

While we can't control everything, we can reduce known risks by following safe sleep recommendations and ensuring our baby's sleep environment is set up as safely as possible.

A few extra safety tips:

✅ Check not only what's inside the cot, but also what's around it.

✅ Keep cots well away from blind cords, curtain ties, charging cables, hanging decorations, monitors with dangling cords and anything else that could become a strangulation hazard.

✅ As babies grow, they become surprisingly good at reaching, grabbing, pulling, climbing and exploring. What seems out of reach today may not be in a few weeks' time.

✅ Once your little one starts sitting, pulling to stand, and cruising around the cot, regularly reassess their sleep space and the surrounding area from their perspective.

Safe sleep isn't just about the cot itself.
It's also about the entire environment around it.

💾 Save this post for later and share it with another parent so they can ensure their little one sleeps safely too 💛

Maybe he wanted to join the Hallelujah trend 😆

Or maybe he is simply praising the Lord 🙌🏼

Psalms 117:2
"For great is His love toward us, and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever. Praise the Lord." Hallelujah!
