LET ME GUESS

You’ve read the blogs. You’ve tried the schedules.

You’ve Googled “wake windows” more times than you can count.

And still, sleep feels like a battle.

You’re doing all the “right” things, but your baby still wakes often, naps are unpredictable, and every new piece of advice leaves you doubting yourself even more.

Sound Familiar?

You’re not broken, Mama. And neither is your baby.

The real problem? You’re been drowning in advice from self-made instagram experts, parents, and social media that doesn’t match how babies actually develop – or how their brains build the capacity for rest, regulation, and connection over time.

That’s why we unpack in this workshop:

The baby sleep myths that are keeping you stuck, and the science that will finally help you exhale.

This Research-Backed Workshop is for you if …

– You feel like you’ve tried everything – and sleep still feels unpredictable, stressful, or confusing

– You’re tired of second-guessing yourself every time your baby wakes “too soon” or naps “too short”

– You’ve been told not to feed, rock, or cuddle your baby to sleep, but that just doesn’t feel right

– You want to understand what’s actually normal for baby sleep, based on science – not opinions

– You’re ready for clarity, not more pressure and want rhythms that support both of you

This workshop is not for you if you’re looking for strict schedules, sleep training methods, or “quick fix” guarantees. This workshop is about understanding, not controlling, your baby’s sleep.

No more second-guessing. No more guilt. 

Just clear, science-based insights that will transform how you understand and support your baby’s sleep.

I’ve realised that what I’ve been told about baby sleep before I became a mum is not true. It holds you back, it’s nonsense that you freak out about but don’t actually need to. I liked learning about what is actually true, and what is nonsense, and what works. Learning what science says about sleep myths and bad habits was a game changer.

BUST THESE 5 MOST COMMON BABY SLEEP MYTHS

1

Babies need to be taught how to sleep.

We’ll gently unpick this belief and explore what the science actually says about how babies come wired to sleep, and how we can support that without trying to control it.

2

My baby should be sleeping through the night by one.

This myth sets so many parents up to feel like failures. You’ll learn what’s actually developmentally normal – and why those night wakings aren’t the problem you’ve been told they are.

3

Self-soothing is a skill babies can (and should) learn early.

We’ll talk about why “self-soothing” isn’t what it seems – and how supporting your baby’s regulation now builds long-term sleep confidence later.

4

If you respond too much, you’ll create bad habits.

This one hits right at the guilt. We’ll look at the neuroscience of connection and responsiveness – and why attuned care is never the enemy of sleep.

5

Your baby needs to learn to sleep independently.

This myth drives the pressure to separate, train, and rush things that aren’t developmentally ready. We’ll talk about how independence is really built.

A note from …

Elsabé

You’re here because you want the best for your baby, but the endless, often conflicting advice about baby sleep has left you feeling overwhelmed, unsure, and more exhausted than ever. You’re not alone, Mama. 

I’m a mum of two, a clinical psychologist by training, and an infant brain development fanatic. And I created this workshop because I kept seeing the same thing – loving, thoughtful parents being told to ignore their instincts in the name of “good” sleep. But baby sleep doesn’t need to feel like a problem to solve. It can be something we understand – gently, with context and compassion.

This workshop brings together everything I know from years of working in infant development, attachment, and maternal wellbeing. All wrapped into one clear, reassuring place for you to land.

There’s no one-size-fits-all solution here. No rigid rules. No pressure to train your baby to sleep. Just science-backed guidance that helps you support your baby’s rest in a way that feels right. For them, and for you.

You’re in the right place. And you don’t have to figure this out alone anymore.
