Sleep Consultation

Our comprehensive assessment provides a thorough evaluation of your child's growth and development. We take into account their medical and surgical history, along with any previous and current health advice from professionals. Our focus extends to physical health, developmental milestones, and genetic predispositions through family history, ensuring a holistic understanding of your baby's needs.

We also assess feeding history, equipment, and behaviors, as well as sleep patterns, to create a tailored plan that supports your child's well-being and growth.

The email review option offers clients a convenient daily check-in via email for the selected duration, ensuring they receive personalized feedback and guidance tailored to their unique needs.

Unless otherwise agreed to between yourself and your consultant at the time of your appointment, support days are to be used as follows:

·   One email check in per day - for review of videos, feeding logs, overview of progress.

·   must be used within a two week period following the date of your consultation; and,

·   to be used as consecutive days.

·   Support days are non-refundable.

If the support days are not used within the 2 week period, they will be forfeited. This is largely because our consultants restrict the number of consultations each day, to accommodate support for their clients and support time is allocated to each day. Only in the event that a consultation is cancelled will support be refunded.

Very! But only if all other causes of feeding refusal and fussy feeding behavior have been either ruled out or remedied before starting the program. And only if the parent strictly follows my feeding rules and recommendations, which took Rowena over 10 years to refine. 

Based on over 3000 cases where Rowena provided bottle-feeding aversion consultations—which helped the parents to rule out other potential causes and clarify their understanding of the feeding rules, the success rate was around 95%. Of those who did not succeed, most admitted that high anxiety levels prevented them from following Rowena's feeding rules and recommendations.

The time it takes to sleep train a baby varies based on the method used, the baby’s temperament, baby's age, and the parents' consistency. Many babies show significant improvement within 3 to 7 nights, while most adapt to their new sleep habits within 1 to 2 weeks. However, some babies, especially those more sensitive to change, may take up to a month to fully adjust. Factors like sleep associations, developmental milestones, inconsistent implementation can extend the process. Success depends on patience, commitment, and maintaining a clear, consistent practice.

We follow responsive settling techniques (not cry-it-out methods), which focus on helping babies learn to sleep while allowing parents to provide reassurance and support. This method encourages parents to respond to their baby’s cues in a way that fosters independent sleep while still offering comfort when needed. Some crying is to be expected, as adjusting to new sleep habits can be challenging for babies, but rather than leaving them to cry alone, parents are guided on how to respond appropriately—offering soothing, reassurance, and presence in a way that promotes self-settling. Our goal is to create a gentle, structured approach that builds confidence for both babies and parents while developing healthy, long-term sleep habits.

In theory, all normal, healthy babies can learn to sleep independently. However, it’s important to identify and address any underlying factors contributing to their sleep challenges. Parents play a key role in shaping their baby’s sleep experience, and their commitment to the process is essential.

Learning to sleep independently isn’t an instant fix—it requires parents' consistency, patience, and trust in the approach. At times, the process may feel challenging, especially when baby is learning to settle a new way, this takes time to adjust. However, by staying committed to the program, parents can help their baby develop healthy, lasting sleep habits allowing them to get the rest they need.

Vaccinations are notorious for adversely affecting a baby's appetite and sleep.

Ideally, you would plan to have scheduled vaccinations at least 5 days before starting the program or after completing the program.

Illness can disrupt a baby's appetite and sleep. If your baby is unwell, it’s best to focus on their recovery first before beginning the program, ensuring they have the best chance for success.
