working with us is like venting to your bff, plus getting real expert advice. ✺
I remember when I had my first baby and hired a sleep consultant. Let’s just say it wasn’t an awesome experience- mostly because it wasn’t tailored to me. It was a generic plan and rigid set of outdated instructions that didn’t have my unique and wonderfully spirited baby in mind.
At Hey, Sleepy Baby, we’re here to change sleep support. We want you to feel empowered in your values, educated in your options, and confident about your choices. We are a team of experts in infant sleep, feeding & developmental psychology ready to help you find your unique path so you can feel great about your relationship with your baby and connection as a family (while getting more sleep- duh!).

about this approach
We do not sleep train using ANY crying or separation methods. If you are looking for a sleep trainer, we are probably not a match for you-and that’s ok!
Our approach is so different because we help you get to the root cause(s) of your baby’s sleep disturbances, so that you can address any underlying issues. We’ll also be honest with you if your little one’s sleep patterns are already developmentally appropriate, and will give you coping strategies and reassurance. We then work with you to minimize whatever is no longer working for your family (like bouncing for hours at bedtime or contact napping all day!). Finally, we help you optimize the things within your control and learn how to let go of what isn’t.
We will also help you to understand biologically normal infant sleep. Night wakings are normal, protective, and conducive to a breastfeeding relationship. That being said, we of course want as few of them as we can get! We’ll help you optimize your baby’s sleep patterns so that your whole family gets more rest with NO sleep training. It IS possible!
At the end of your consultation, you’ll deeply understand your child and be prepared to tackle any sleep issue with calm, confidence, and compassion.

Hi, I’m Gillian! I’m a certified Baby-Led Sleep Consultant, former Social Worker and Early Childhood Educator, as well as a mom of one. I live on Vancouver Island with my husband and daughter.
With a background in developmental psychology and more than a decade of experience working within early childhood, I went into motherhood feeling prepared and confident. So when my baby’s sleep didn’t fit into the neat ideologies I had created in my mind, I felt stuck. I knew I didn’t want to sleep train but it felt as though I had no other option. Either I must separate from my infant or wait-it-out. But I was beyond exhausted.
The narrative around infant and toddler sleep is often drenched in patriarchal, behaviourist-centred beliefs. And this is where my ideology of sleep was too, without even knowing it! I naively thought my baby would just… sleep. All the time. You know, “sleep like a baby”. But in fact infant brain development and attachment science shows us that a child’s best outcomes are rooted in nurturing and responsive parenting.
My promise is to help you understand your baby or toddler’s development and get better sleep using your instincts. I look at your baby as a unique individual who you are the expert on. We will work together to combine my training and your expertise on your child to approach sleep in a way that respects the parent-infant dynamic.
