Baby Sleep Support
You have no idea why your baby won't sleep, or where to even begin to break the cycle.
You try a method for three nights, it doesn't work, and you give up.
The 3am wake-ups are starting to affect your relationship, your work, your mental health.
You just want someone who actually knows what they're talking about to tell you exactly what to do.
“I'm Lucy — a registered psychologist based in Byron Bay, and for years I worked with families in clinical practice hearing exhausted parents telling me the same thing... their baby hadn't slept more than 2 hours at a stretch for months. They'd read books, joined Facebook groups, tried everything. Their baby just wouldn't sleep and they were feeling totally defeated.
They were amazing parents doing their absolute best, they just didn't have the right information, delivered in the right order, tailored to their individual baby. That's the gap I built Sweet Little Dreams to fill. Not a rigid program. Not a heartbreaking scream it out method. Just clear, clinically grounded guidance.
My approach is attachment-based sleep teaching. I draw on your knowledge of your baby (because you know them best) and your parenting skills to support you to teach them how to sleep, while continuing to strengthen your attachment and bond.
Sleep deprivation affects everything — your mental health, your relationships, your sense of self as a parent, whether or not you have enough energy to honestly enjoy being a parent. You deserve to have the energy to cherish all the waking moments with your beautiful baby. You don't need to live in the haze of total exhaustion any longer, let me help you teach your baby how to sleep.”
— Lucy McCarthy, Registered Psychologist

“We went from five wake-ups a night to one in under a fortnight. The schedule finally made sense of our days — and Lucy's guidance never once made me feel judged.”

“The method quiz was the turning point. We'd been forcing an approach that didn't fit our daughter at all. Three weeks in, she settles herself for every nap.”

“After our first baby arrived I was anxious and overwhelmed and felt like I couldn't say so out loud. Lucy gave us practical, evidence-based support and helped us feel like ourselves again as we prepare for our second.”

“After our loss, I didn't think anyone could really understand what we were going through. Lucy held space for our grief without ever rushing us, and helped us find our footing again.”
