The Express Baby Sleep Call is a 30-minute phone call for mama’s who need the know-how on D.I.Y sleep improvements. The call is to help you understand and navigate through some of the less complicated sleeping issues your baby might be facing.
I’ll provide advice on how to deal with the particular sleep problem you are experiencing and send you one follow up email with everything we discussed (I know how tired mamas can forget things!)
Before our call takes place, I will have assessed the answers in your questionnaire, so I come in, armed with sleeping tips to guide you on any areas that need tweaking.
If at the end of our call, you feel you need the additional support and guidance to see the sleeping problem through, you can upgrade to a program that has more support.

Best for: For younger babies that are struggling with feeding, sleeping, short naps, unsettled and are constantly waking. Also designed for families who would like to create routine, structure and predictability early on.
This is My Newborn’s unique and highly successful ‘JENtle’ Sleep Shaping Program, created personally by your Baby Sleep Consultant, Jennifer! After more than two decades of living-in with families and their newborns, I have critiqued the art of teaching young babies how to sleep and settle well, literally from day one! Now, I am passing on these skills by teaching parents with even the youngest babies how to obtain structure (and sanity) in their lives. The aim of this program is to set your baby up on a sleeping and feeding schedule to ensure they are receiving enough rest and nutrition to feel happy and content (not to mention, you too mama!)
The best part about this unique routine is that it’s super gentle on your baby and will set you both up for many months to come.
My Newborn’s ‘JENtle’ program spans over three weeks and is implemented in three stages. The first stage is very hands-on and no/very limited crying. Stages two and three will allow you to try and get your baby into the cot without having to always hold, feed or rock them to sleep. Most families achieve results within the first week and there is no need to commit to the full three weeks if you don’t want to.
I created this program to offer parents a gentle alternative to the traditional “sleep training” and have wonderful results from even the youngest age. I have personally implemented this thousands of times in person and helped even more families successfully do exactly the same thing via my remote guidance.
What to expect:
★ Week 1
Creating Routine and Structure
We will be setting your baby up with a napping schedule that suits their biological need to sleep, laying the foundations of sleep and ensuring your baby is drinking adequate amounts at the right times (day and night) to promote better overall sleeping. This is all done with a no-cry approach and is very hands-on. We will be working very closely together every day via a logging system and by the end of week one, you will have achieved structure around feeding and sleeping for your little one. Some families have such success within the first week, that they don’t need to continue on to the following weeks.
★ Week 2
Start to remove negative sleep associations one by one
It can be so beautiful holding, rocking and feeding your baby to sleep, but what happens if this becomes the only way they sleep and settle?! If you are struggling with not being able to put your baby down to sleep, then week 2 of the program might be suitable for you. During this week, we look closely to determine how many sleep associations your baby has become reliant on and remove one at a time to slowly start teaching them independent sleep. My philosophy is; small changes over a period of time are a lot more gentle and easier on babies then a hard and fast approach.
★ Week 3
Self-settling
In week 3, we look to remove all sleep associations and teach self-settling. This involves leaving the room or just sitting by the cot until your baby learns to settle on their own. I have successfully taught many young babies how to self-settle in a gentle manner, and they can fall asleep easily. However, some babies due to a sensitive personality or a very strong negative sleep association, find this stage a little more challenging. It also depends on the parenting philosophy – some parents are happy to allow their baby to have a few minutes of crying, where others are not comfortable to do that. My aim is to work within each family’s goals and try to do the best I can, given their circumstances and the baby as an individual.
Cost $620 per week (no need to commit to full 3 weeks).
Age: 5.5 months +
Best for: Families who can take the advice and implement after the call but require daily support to help see the sleeping issue through.
Designed for families who need help with multiple areas of their baby’s sleep (self-settling, nights, naps, nutrition etc.). With the Remote Baby Sleep Program, your Baby Sleep Consultant will work with you one on one. To teach you the skills and gentle processes you can implement so your baby can get the sleep he or she desperately needs. (Not to mention, you can get some rest too, Mama!).
Cost $750
Age: 6 months +
Best for: Families who would like an extremely slow, gentle and graded approach to help transition their baby into the cot.
When done safely, co-sleeping can be a beautiful and bonding experience. But what happens if your once amazing bed buddy starts to keep everyone up at night?
If your baby has spent most of their life sleeping within arm’s reach of you, the transition into a cot can be a huge adjustment. Good news is, that it absolutely can be done AND in a loving and gentle manner. At My Newborn – Baby Sleep Consulting, we believe that co-sleeping babies in particular need small and gradual changes to help them feel comfortable and secure in their new sleeping environment.
Over a period of 28 days, together we will work slowly to transform your baby into an independent sleeper (and not to mention, you get your bed back to yourself mama!).

For families who prefer to have a professionally trained Baby Sleep Consultant there every step of the way (and do the hardest parts), 2-3 nights are recommended. As a guide, if everything has been implemented correctly, by night three, you will see a huge difference in your baby’s ability to put him or herself to sleep and sleeping longer stretches at night.

Would you like to have a professional Baby Sleep Expert help you with the first few days / weeks or even months from the day you get home from the hospital? Right from the start, I help parents gain vital knowledge about many aspects of caring for their new baby. For many parents, gaining knowledge really helps them to develop more confidence, which then allows them to have a more relaxed and enjoyable relationship with their baby.
During the Postnatal Care, I slowly implement my unique and ‘JENtle’ Sleep Shaping Program, which essentially teaches healthy babies how to sleep and settle well within days of my arrival.
Postnatal packages are designed to educate new parents on breast / bottle feeding, sleeping, settling techniques, weaning and also provide constant professional care while adjusting to the newest family member. Before my departure, you will know your baby’s routine inside and out, and you will feel confident in following the structure for many months to come.
Postnatal blocks are tailor made to suit the family’s needs. This can be a blocks of 24 hour care, days or nights only, or a combination of both for up to 6 months at a time.
What are the benefits of Postnatal Care?
Cost: $1500 per 24 hour block

Jen is AMAZING!! I came to Jen when my newborn was only 8 weeks old, and I was exhausted, had no routine with her, she was unpredictable day and night and I was losing my confidence fast.

After having little success with other sleep consultant’s, Jenn has helped put both my kids into a good sleeping routine. The only regret was not finding Jenn sooner.

Working with Jennifer has been nothing short of amazing. I found her when I had reached the end of my rope. I was so tired and even though Liam is our 6th baby, we had never experienced the nursing to sleep association.

I couldn’t recommend Jenn highly enough! She has been an absolute saviour for our new family. She has a wealth of experience that filled myself and my husband with every confidence.

Jennifer provides safe and gentle sleep training methods based on knowledge obtained during her studies, successful qualifications and 16+ years experience.
Jennifer has obtained her paediatric First Aid Training through KidZAid and is registered to work with babies and children in Australia and Europe. Techniques and methods used are all derived directly from her qualifications and from her many years of experience.
Jennifer’s advice does not replace the advice from your Doctor or Paediatrician, and her advice should not be relied upon as medical advice. For medical advice, you should always seek the advice from your medical practitioner. Therefore, you should consult with your health-care professional should you have any healthcare related questions or before embarking on a new sleep program. If a medical problem appears or persists, do not disregard or delay seeking medical advice from doctor. Accordingly, Jennifer expressly disclaims any liability, loss, damage, or injury caused by information provided to the client.
Jennifer will educate, support you and guide you through the sleep challenges needed to make change in your baby’s sleeping habits. As a Baby Sleep Consultant, Jennifer is not responsible for your application of the sleep solutions once the consultation has concluded. Once the sleep consultation has concluded it is the responsibility of the parent(s) to apply the agreed methods and solutions. Jennifer has an extremely high success rate, however, the success of Jennifer solutions is in the hands of the parents’ commitment & perseverance once the sleep consultation has ended; therefore Jennifer cannot make any guarantees of success. However, Jennifer will use her best endeavours to support you until the desired result has been achieved.
In-Home Cancellation Policy
To confirm any In-Home Program, the client will be required to pay a 25% non-refundable deposit to secure the booking. The remaining amount of the In-Home Program will be required to be paid on the day after Jennifer leaves your home. Any cancellations barring medical or other emergencies will forfeit the deposit. If you cancel less than 48 hours before the scheduled visit, the full amount will be required, unless Jennifer can backfill your place with someone on the waiting list.
If your baby is a little under the weather and does not have a temperature, the program can generally proceed as planned. If your baby is sick with a temperature or has been diagnosed with a medical condition by a doctor, the program will be postponed until your baby is better. A doctors certificate may be requested.
Remote Program/Phone Consultation

Remote Program Cancellation policy
The Remote Program and Phone Consultations are non-refundable after the start of sleep work (i.e. when any sleep advice has been delivered to the client via email, text, phone).
Acts of God or suspected medical conditions

If during the In Home program, Jennifer feels the consultation should cease due to an underlying or undisclosed medical condition, Jennifer will require payment only for the time actually spent in your home. In this case, to keep the situation fair on both parties, the hourly rate is reduced down from the normal sleep consulting fees (as per the program booked) and charged at $50ph.
