I had the pleasure of experiencing the Telehealth Baby Sleep Navigation Program, and my husband and I were extremely impressed with the service! Our baby is 3 months old and the physician helped us to work out his sleep & nap routine literally within the 14 day program. We were shocked to see our baby sleep 11-12 hours through the night in such a short time. It improved my own mental health as I’m now able to sleep longer hours myself through the night. Highly recommend this service for anyone wanting a bit more structure in their child’s daily routine and wanting more of their own personal time back!

We were exhausted and honestly didn’t know where to turn. Sleep & Cradle® Health changed that. The Baby Sleep Telehealth Navigation program gave us real, doctor-backed guidance that finally helped our baby — and our whole family — find a rhythm. The support felt personal, not clinical. We genuinely felt cared for. If you’re a struggling parent, this is worth it.

Interning at Sleep & Cradle Health has been such a wonderful experience. As a person who wants to go into medicine, this truly gave me an insight in maternal care and firsthand knowledge of postpartum sleep science. Sleep & Cradle are so dedicated and they show deep care in parents and infants. Their 24/7 telehealth services are wonderful. I'm proud to say that I recommend Sleep & Cradle to all parents in need of support or in search for a professional to help you grow.

After twenty plus years as a Certfied Nursing Assistant  I did not expect a training to instantly shift my perspective,  but rest assure  Sleep & Cradle Health’s Advanced Newborn Care Specialist Training did exactly that.  It's a self-paced easy to follow program and uses AI instructors which made learning engaging and practical.  The modules on emotional intelligence, Sleep training and client etiquette were powerful, the business and marketing gave me tools to operate as a professional, so when working with first time parents you demonstrate your acquired skills with confidence.  There's also live questions and answers sessions the mentoring support was outstanding it allows you to ask relatable questions in relation to managing real life scenarios with the new Patents. So if there are any health professionals, Nanny, Doula, Social Worker seeking to gain expert knowledge on Newborn in this field I strongly recommend this training.  Why not take a shot at it, you may just open up a brand new exciting world.

We used Cynthia and Sleep & Cradle for our 18-month-old daughter. Within a few minutes, she was able to identify that our baby was cluster feeding. Our lifestyle of work and crazy schedules made it difficult in the beginning to follow the process, but once we were able to establish a more regular schedule for the baby, with little tweaks Cynthia provided, we have been able to sleep all night. Our baby goes to bed and no longer wakes up asking for a bottle of milk at night. She knows when it’s time to sleep and has a consistent routine, which is what babies crave the most. Thanks!!

Communication after signing up was excellent, I enrolled in several courses and found that content very easy to digest and really high-lighted alot of areas of both parental sleep health, and baby sleep training which I had never even considered. I have learnt so many new techniques. The team at Sleep and Cradle and special shoutout to Cynthia go above and beyond with their support and advice and I really felt I got a fully personalised support plan to suit my lifestyle and sleep schedule
