About MyBabySleepConsultant
I’m Niharika, the founder of My Baby Sleep Consultant, an internationally Certified Holistic Baby Sleep Consultant, wife, and mamma.
I am so excited you are here, and I can't wait to help you! My own journey into this work began in the trenches of my own baby’s sleep struggles. I was surrounded by well-meaning advice from friends, relatives, and professionals - all encouraging sleep training because “that’s what you do.”
Coming from a culture where co-sleeping is the norm, breastfeeding to sleep is expected, and mothers are supported in responding to their babies, I found myself torn.
My God-given instincts and ancient wisdom clashed with rigid advice. My heart refused to put my baby - or myself - through that distress. I explored sleep training and behavioural methods, but even before knowing the research, my body knew: this was not the right path.
Now, I help families find sleep support that honours the physical, emotional, and biological needs of both baby and parent.
I don’t offer cookie-cutter solutions. I help you understand the root causes of sleep challenges, gently remove what interferes with rest, and strengthen the foundations for natural, sustainable sleep.
Cry-it -out or other behavioural methods don't teach babies to sleep; they just teach them to stop crying for help.
I believe sleep is a reflection, not a problem to be fixed.
I work holistically, looking beneath the surface at the many layers that shape sleep:
nervous system regulation, temperament, sensory needs, development, environment, connection, and the emotional world of both baby and parent.
A Different Way of Understanding Sleep
I support families using a Holistic method, an evidence-informed approach that views sleep as a biological and relational process, not a behaviour to be trained. It cannot be taught or forced - it emerges naturally when the body and nervous system feel safe, supported, and regulated.
Most sleep struggles are not a child's problem. They are a signal: something is interfering with the body’s natural rhythms. Ignoring these signals or applying cookie-cutter fixes may offer short-term results, but rarely lead to long-term rest.
I address the root causes of sleep challenges, integrating knowledge of biology, development, emotional needs, and lifestyle - for the entire family.
It is evidence-based, thoughtful, and compassionate.
It respects both modern research and our primal instincts.
How I Work
My work is gentle, personalised, and deeply respectful of biology.
I integrate routines and structure where they support regulation, while also looking far beyond them.
Together, we explore the full picture of your family’s sleep, including:
-
Pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experiences
-
Nervous system regulation and stress
-
Daily rhythms, movement, nutrition, hydration, and breath
-
Emotional connection, temperament, and development
-
Environment and family wellbeing
-
Medical factors that may impact sleep
Sleep improves when the whole system is supported.
