Our Philosophy
Our Client Success Stories
At Sleepy Little Cub, infant sleep support begins with understanding your baby, not forcing them into a generic sleep approach.
Every baby is different, which is why I look at sleep alongside development, feeding, temperament, comfort, settling and your family’s individual circumstances before deciding what, if anything, may need to change.
My approach is gentle, responsive and grounded in evidence based infant sleep guidance and realistic expectations.
The goal is not perfect sleep.
It is helping you feel clearer about what your baby may need, more confident in the choices you are making, and supported in creating sleep that feels more manageable for your family.

"Ashleigh has helped us to gain a better understanding of our son’s sleep, obtained longer stretches overnight and also reminded me of the good job we’re doing and to celebrate the wins big or small."

From waking every 2 hours over night to having 7 hour stretches
Oliver’s sleep had become increasingly unpredictable, with frequent overnight wakes, short naps and long periods of settling.
After looking at his sleep pressure, circadian rhythm, routine and development, we made gentle, personalised adjustments to support more restorative sleep across the whole day.
His overnight wakes reduced from four to one, naps extended, and bedtime settling reduced from over an hour to around 10 minutes.
Every baby’s sleep story is different. These families found gentle, personalised support that helped them understand their baby and make meaningful changes.
