Lullababy SOS: Australia's First Gentle Baby and Toddler Sleep Consultant Since 2007

Empowering Tired Parents with Gentle, Realistic Holistic Sleep Support

With over 18 years of experience and commitment to non-Cry-it-Out Methods, I've helped 15,000 + families find confidence in parenting their child their way

Unless you have lived, breathed and trudged through the daily grind of being a parent to babies or kids who don’t sleep, it’s hard to understand how debilitating, disorientating and destructive severe sleep deprivation can be.

Being a new parent or a mum with a toddler and or a baby AND being sleep deprived seems cruel and is utterly EXHAUSTING! Even the most simple daily tasks seem to take forever. Every day you just try to do your best. You’re told to follow your instinct, but you’re so confused and tired that you don’t know what your instinct is telling you. So you google the shit out of “How to get your baby to sleep”, only to come away with more questions and guilt than answers. All you want is to get your baby to sleep WITHOUT pulling your hair out or them crying their eyes out!⠀

Teaching baby how to sleep better and sleep training are not the same thing :

We don’t do Controlled Crying, Cry It Out, or any of the other traditional ‘Sleep Training methods”.
We also don’t do the “It’s OK to Feed Your Baby to Sleep” you wouldn’t be here if that was working for you.
We do help you to understand WHY your baby is not sleeping well and what you can do to support positive change.
We offer a REALISTIC settling approach that support you while you 100% support your baby.
We help you implement a positive sleep and feeding routine that works for YOUR family.

I HEAR YOU, MUMMA. And that’s why I do what I do and why I LOVE HELPING MUMS, DADS and families.

I have been working with families for over 22 years and Established Lullababy SOS when I move to the Gold Coast in 2007. Since then, I have helped over 18,000 families globally with the LULLABABY SOS PROGRAM, and I would love to help YOU.

The LULLABABY SOS PROGRAM is a game-changer. It’s not for everyone, but it may be right for you.

This program wasn’t created on the back of being a mum who had a bad sleeper, although I have spent thousands of nights awake, supporting these mums and babies through the fog of sleep struggles. Lullababy SOS was created because supporting parents in teaching their babies how to sleep came easily to me. (see my full bio)

Learning how sleep is a skill that needs to be supported, practised and encouraged CONSISTENTLY and progressively as your child grows.

How you support a 3-month-old is very different to how you support a 13-month-old.

Let LULLABABY SOS take the guesswork out of it for you. ⠀⠀

If you want to know:⠀

How you can encourage the BEST NAPTIMES & LENGTHS of sleep for your baby’s development.
Help your baby sleep better and longer through the night (no more 2 hourly wake ups)
PROVEN SUPPORTIVE SETTLING TECHNIQUES that maintain your bond, reduce crying and build independence.
SUPPORT FOR YOU while you support your little one with methods supported by SCIENCE.
SIMPLE, UNCOMPLICATED ways to teach your baby to sleep better so you can both thrive not just survive

THEN LISTEN UP!

There’s never been a better time to jump straight in! So if you’re ready for a more predictable routine, to gain your confidence in your parenting and want to use PROVEN, gentle, adaptable and effective ways to give you AND YOUR BABY a better night’s sleep AND a daily routine that can be adapted to YOUR family and lifestyle, then take action now

CLEARING THE FOG WILL MEAN THAT YOU CAN START TO FOLLOW YOUR INSTINCTS. If you’re considering it, NOW IS THE TIME

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was really struggling with my six month old baby’s sleep, both during the day and night. He went from being a great sleeper as a newborn to a baby that had to be held for every daytime nap and he started to wake up many times throughout the night. I was physically and mentally exhausted, as was my little baby. Neither of us were getting enough good quality sleep. I was desperate for help but I was afraid of being taken advantage of by an unqualified “sleep coach”. That’s when a family friend of mine who had received help from Elaine eight years ago recommended Lullaby SOS to me. Elaine did an overnight stay with me and my baby and taught me some simple but seriously effective techniques to help my little one sleep on his own in his own. I am not comfortable with the “cry it out” method, so Elaine’s gentle approach, which was very supportive of my baby, suited us perfectly. I can’t recommend Elaine highly enough. She has EXTENSIVE experience with thousands of different babies. She tailored a routine and settling approach to specifically meet the needs of me and my baby. I felt so supported during the overnight stay and during the following three weeks. If you are struggling with your little one’s sleep please know that Elaine is highly experienced, very capable and trustworthy.

This has been an absolute game changer for the whole household. Everyone is happier.
The advice, support, techniques Elaine has provided are PRICELESS!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t think about anything less than 5 stars to Elaine and her unbelievable knowledge and experience.
I’m so glad she crossed paths with me and my family no only because I could see the differences in the first night but also because I was so confident with her support and professionalism.
Thank you a million times Elaine!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Elaine has been a life saver, our daughter was waking up all the time during the middle of the night and now goes to sleep as soon as we lay her down and sleeps the whole night... Something I never thought would happen as we were at our wits end and so sleep deprived. Our friend recommended Elaine and could not speak highly enough of her. This was money well spent and only wished I had done it earlier ! Thank you Elaine for providing us the tools and education for our little one.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing! Our family has worked with Elaine for both my daughter and then son and had amazing results with both. Elaine gave us a routine with information and support in helping us guide our little one's in sleep and we have never looked back.
We always have and always will recommend Elaine to our friends and family for their little ones.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Elaine is some sort of sleep magician! She has helped both my kids sleep better over the years and it always blows my mind that she knows the answers (she's magical I swear). Elaine is also really lovely and non-judgemental about the crazy ways we've tried to get our kids to sleep better. She's very friendly and easy to talk to 🙂 Thank you for everything Elaine, you're the best and I recommend you to every mum struggling with sleep. I'd give you a 1000 stars if I could!!! xx

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. So glad we finally made the decision for our family to get help with sleep, our 10 month old son is now a rockstar at sleeping. Elaine is an incredible source of knowledge and supported us through our whole journey (we wished we reached out much sooner) . Honestly wouldn’t think twice about consulting with Elaine, she is brilliant and everyone in your family will be 10 times happier ( and rested ) !!

 recommendsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook. Elaine is a bloody miracle worker!!
Engaging Elaine has worked absolute wonders for our 2.5 year old who had transitioned to a big bed from the cot.

After 4-5 months of absolutely terrible nights, all it took was 3-7 nights of tweaking our routine and implementing some of Elaine’s strategies and we were back to self-settling and full night sleeps.

Our household is a whole lot happier and less tense in the mornings. I couldn’t recommend Elaine enough and my only regret was not engaging her sooner. My advice - if you’re having sleep struggles, don’t wait!

 recommendsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook. Working with Elaine has been life changing!!
We started working with Elaine when our little one was 5 months old and the only way we could get her to sleep was feeding to sleep, which some nights would take 2 hours at the beginning of the night and 2 hours overnight. Within a few days of implementing Elaine's methods, our little one learnt to self settle for both her daytime and bedtime naps and only wakes once for a feed overnight. She has gone from only having 40 minute daytime naps (mostly on mum) to consistently having 2 x 2 hour naps in the cot. Elaine gave us the tools, confidence and encouragement to teach our baby how to sleep. Her routine is gentle, yet effective and at no time did I feel like I was abandoning our baby - in fact, I feel she cries less using Elaine's methods than before. Our baby is happier and more alert during her wake time. I could not recommend Elaine enough and will definitely be reaching out to her before we have baby #2.

 recommendsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook. If you’re even considering hiring Elaine, 100% do it!

I thought holding my baby and watching him fall asleep in the comfort of my arms was the best thing but really I was creating a bad habit once he was a few months older, sure enough my 6month old son now needed to be rocked, walked, sung to, bounced aka anything and everything breaking my back and doing my head in. Having to fall asleep in my arms every single time and taking over our bed. It took one day and night of hard work and sticking to Elaine’s routine, in his own room to have him sleeping 13 hrs through the night without one single peep, mind you he used to wake multiple times per night, he literally has learnt to self soothe on day two of following Elaine’s tips, tricks. I was losing myself, my mind & had no time or motivation to do anything - now my son sleeps & takes long naps and I finally have the time to do things for myself and get a decent sleep at night. Happy mum, baby and family. Thank you Elaine for fixing our lives so so much. My only regret is putting up with it for so long and not hiring Elaine sooner.

 recommendsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook. Our little boy always slept well until he turned two! one hour consult is all we needed and after day/night one, Miller was sleeping through again. today marks one week since our consult and Miller will not only sleep through, but stays in his bed happily chatting to himself until we get him out of his big boy bed.

Elaine really is amazing. She knows the simplest but most effective techniques to get sleep back on track fast. couldn't recommend her enough.

 recommendsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook. Our little boy was only 8 weeks old and I wanted to establish good habits early. Elaine’s approach to sleep & settling were really gentle and I couldn’t believe he started sleeping through the night just after a few days.  He is now 3 months old and has continued to sleep right through. Highly recommend!

 recommendsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook. Elaine was a great, fresh set of eyes to help us change some bad habits with our 2 year old’s sleep. He wouldn’t go down without us sitting close by which was also causing night waking, not good when also expecting baby 2. Also got some great advice on how to phase out dummy and managing newborn with a toddler. The suggested techniques were easy to implement and we luckily saw immediate results. Wish I would have done it earlier.

 recommendsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook. Elaine, what a god send to our family, our daughter who is 16 months was waking 2-4 times per night wanting milk and would just cry if we didn’t attend to her, after my husband moved away for work she totally refused her sleeps, would cry and cry all night unless I was sitting beside her, then she would wake constantly to check if I was still there we were running on 4 hours sleep per night... I found Elaine and booked in an online consult, she tailored a plan for me & my daughter, it just sounded like Elaine knew my daughter inside & out and why she was doing what she was doing, I strictly implemented Elaine’s ideas, recommendations and routine, within 3 nights our daughter started sleeping 6:45pm-6am, i couldn’t believe it, I didn’t think it was possible for her to sleep through the night, I didn’t want to get my hopes up but 3 weeks later we are still having 12 hour sleeps at night! I highly highly recommend Elaine, I just wish I contacted her earlier!!

 recommendsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook. Need that affirmation that you’re doing ok? Need that assurance that you’re doing a good job? Well Elaine was that for me. My son has been a good sleeper  but we were just struggling with transitioning from 2 sleeps to 1. Doing the  30 min zoom call routine consult was a great option and would recommend to anyone needing help with this transition. Wake ups are getting better, day sleep is getting longer and bedtime is getting quicker.

 recommendsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook. I've used Elaine for both kids now for very different sleep issues - my first had to be rocked to sleep and hated her cot and my second would self settle to sleep but still woke multiple times overnight and woke at 4.30am for the day. 

I don't know what special baby magic she used but she helped both my kids sleep through the night!! she really knows her stuff and has taught us so much about sleep. We can highly recommend her.

 recommendsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook. Since the 4 month sleep regression my baby was waking anywhere between 4 and 10 times a night. I was absolutely exhausted and constantly just fed her back to sleep just to get myself a little bit more sleep. In the day times she would be very inconsistent and sometimes would go into her cot with no crying and sleep for 2 hours and other times would scream and sleep for 30 minutes. After 2 days of following Elaine’s routine, Myla has been doing all of her day naps with pretty much no crying at all, self soothes 99% of the time and has been only waking once for a night feed. She was already a happy baby on no sleep but now she’s even happier. My friend’s said I should have done this sooner and I definitely should have.
