Feeling torn between helping your baby sleep and getting any sleep yourself?

You cherish breastfeeding to sleep and the closeness it brings. But the hourly wake-ups, warnings about “bad habits,” and advice to let your baby “cry it out” doesn’t sit right.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone:

  • Nights blur into frequent wake-ups and endless comfort feeds

  • “Drowsy but awake” works once… then never again

  • Strict schedules make you anxious and doesn’t fit your real life

  • Your baby fights sleep or has false starts after bedtime

  • You’re cancelling plans to protect naps—and still running on fumes

What’s true (and soothing):

  • Breastfeeding to sleep isn’t a bad habit; you can keep it and help nights improve.

  • Feeding to sleep doesn’t cause them to wake-up more frequently.

  • You don’t need cry-it-out or rigid routines to see change.

  • A responsive, breastfeeding-friendly approach can support your baby’s sleep biology—and your bond.

Imagine this: your baby falls asleep more easily, wake-ups are shorter, and you feel calmer and confident about naps—even as patterns change. You know exactly which gentle, evidence-based steps to use, and you wake feeling more like yourself.

This is precisely what the Responsive Baby Sleep Program offers—practical, no-cry-it-out tools that fit your values and your season of life.

Why a Gentle, Responsive Approach Works

(No Cry-It-Out)

Every baby is different. We help you read your baby’s cues—no rigid schedules, no one-size-fits-all charts.

Co-regulation builds calm. Staying responsive lowers stress and supports easier settling and gentler transitions into sleep—for both of you.

Built for real life. Fit sleep steps around work, siblings and life while staying responsive to your baby.

No “bad habits.” Responding to your baby—including feeding or cuddling to sleep—helps build the security that supports independent sleep when they’re ready.

Is this for you?

  • Your baby wakes frequently and you want gentle, breastfeeding-friendly steps—no cry-it-out.

  • Naps are challenging. Short catnaps, contact-only naps or nap refusals are your norm, and you want flexible, responsive steps to make days feel easier.

  • You prefer a responsive approach that follows your baby’s cues and temperament, not rigid schedules.

  • You want practical, 5–10 min lessons, checklists and a plan that fits your real life.

This may not be for you if you’re seeking cry-it-out methods, strict routines, or urgent medical advice.

Baby Sleep Consultant Dr Lauren Fisher

Hey, I’m Dr Lauren Fisher.

When my baby hit four months and started waking hourly, I loved feeding to sleep—but the noise about “bad habits” made me doubt myself.

What changed everything was understanding sleep biology—working with sleep pressure, circadian rhythm and temperament—and making small, doable tweaks that kept our closeness.

Now I help parents find that same calm and clarity. As a New Zealand–registered GP, with training in breastfeeding and infant sleep, I share gentle, evidence-based steps that respect your bond and your baby’s cues—no cry-it-out, no rigid schedules. This Responsive Baby Sleep Program brings those tools to you in short lessons you can start tonight.

Frequently asked questions

Short, honest answers to help you decide with confidence.

Approach & fit

How is this different from sleep training?
It’s responsive and breastfeeding-friendly. We work with sleep biology (sleep pressure + circadian rhythm), follow your baby’s cues and temperament, and don’t use cry-it-out.
Can I keep feeding or cuddling to sleep?
Yes. Feeding or cuddling to sleep isn’t a “bad habit.” We show ways to keep what you love and make gentle changes when you’re ready.
Is this compatible with co-sleeping or room-sharing?
Yes—your Co-sleeping & Floor Bed Guide covers safety and set-up so you can stay responsive within safe-sleep guidance.
What results can I realistically expect?
Every family is different. Many parents notice nights feel more manageable within days–weeks; others need longer. We aim to reduce stress and give you clear, gentle steps—no specific outcomes promised.
What if naps are a mess (catnaps, contact-only, refusals)?
The Days & Naps lessons cover flexible wake windows, on-the-go naps, and cycle-linking—without rigid schedules.

Logistics & access

How much time will this take?
Most parents spend 2–3 hours in total. Lessons are 5–10 minutes with written summaries you can read during contact naps—start, pause, and come back anytime.
What ages is this for?
Examples focus on under 12 months, and the principles carry forward. The Toddlers & Beyond bonus helps you adapt.
Will this work if I’m not breastfeeding?
Yes. You’ll find responsive options for bottle and combination feeding, with ways to keep closeness while adjusting patterns.
Is there personalised support?
Choose a plan with 1:1 consults, or add a consult anytime. Sessions are virtual; we’ll guide you on scheduling after enrolment.
Refunds?
Because you receive instant access to the full programme, we don’t offer change-of-mind refunds. If something isn’t working as expected, please contact us—your consumer rights remain.
Safety & scope
This is an educational programme. We include red-flag checklists and when to seek medical advice. If you have concerns about growth, reflux, breathing, or pain, please seek assessment from your health professional (or book a 1:1 consult).
