The Self-Settling Project is for you if you want to teach your child how to fall asleep independently!
You feel like you are doing all the “right” things...
You have the room totally black, you have white noise on, you have quiet time.
You know you are supposed to put them in the cot when they are awake so when you see the tired signs you try to gently lower them in.
But the crying starts almost immediately!
You try shhhing or patting but this only makes it worse.
You try leaving the room or swapping with your partner and this escalates the situation to hysteria.
So now the only way to settle is to pick your baby up and hold or feed to sleep.
You feel like it's the only way you can get some sleep so you keep doing it!
Are you...
Confused by all the conflicting information out there about sleep
Desperate to make a change but you’re finding it hard to know where to start
Struggling to find a clear evidence-based approach to follow
I developed the Self-Settling Project so you can teach your child to learn how to self-settle!
This is a practical online course to teach your baby how to fall asleep independently.
The Self-Settling Project is a game changer for parents who:
- want to understand more about sleep
- want to implement an approach to self-settling that aligns with your parenting values
- want to make positive and sustainable sleep associations
- want the whole family to get better sleep
- want their baby to be able to go to sleep in different environments and with different people
Our 12 mth old son was sleeping little during the day, taking an age to put to sleep at night and waking frequently. Kate laid out the science and then gave us a clear structure to work to. Improvement came within a couple of days and now, two weeks later, our son self-settles every time and sleeps through the night. Could be the best decision we have made all year! Highly recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions
What ages is this good for?
This approach for self-settling is appropriate if your baby is 6 months +.
How long do I have access to the course for?
You will have access to the course material for a year. This way it allows you to go back over things if you need to review later!
Is this basically just going to tell me to let them cry it out?
No, because leaving your baby to cry it out won’t teach them how to learn to sleep!
This approach is evidence-based and proven to be safe. The strategy acknowledges the way your baby’s brain is wired with regards to pattern recognition and in that supports them as they learn new skills.
What do I do if I have problems?
If you run into any problems, all you have to do it email me, at kate@babysomnia.com.
Is there a Facebook group that comes with the course?
Yes!! Solving sleep problems can feel lonely at times (particularly in the middle of the night) so belonging to a community where you can share your experiences and support each other is a really important component of success.
I am a big believer of celebrating wins so I love seeing what you are achieving!
