Better Sleep.

For the Whole Family.

Evidence-based baby sleep support with personalised sleep plans and one-to-one consultations.

Does this sound familiar?

You’ve probably found my website because you have a baby and you’re struggling with their sleep (or lack of it). You might be struggling with all or some of the following:


Your baby is waking every hour of the night

They need lots of support to fall asleep - such as feeding or rocking

They wake early in the morning - usually before 6 am

They will only ever nap in your arms

If they do nap in a cot, those naps are 20 minutes max

You feel as though your day has no routine

You’ve been co-sleeping to get more sleep, but you’d prefer not to

Your bedtime routine isn’t calm and always involves a meltdown


You have probably done a lot of Googling and joined forums and Facebook groups and the polarising debate is the same: either wait it out and bed share, or sleep train using cry-it-out methods. There seems to be no in-between.


I want to reassure you that the issues you’re experiencing are very common and can be completely normal, but it’s not something you have to survive and endure. You can make responsive and loving changes to your child’s sleep habits to optimise the sleep they are capable of, and it absolutely doesn’t have to involve crying it out.

Janine Orford

Baby Sleep Practitioner, London

Hi, I’m Janine,

nice to meet you!

I'm Janine, an OCN Level 5 Certified Sleep Practitioner. I also operate under the name The Bedtime Champ. I’m a mum of two football-obsessed boys and two cats and I live in South-East London.


For over a decade, I've worked with parents and children. In my early 20s, I gained experience as a live-in nanny, caring for children aged 1 to 10 in Italy, Spain, and the UK. Before establishing my baby and child sleep consultancy, I spent 12 years working for the UK's largest online parenting community, Mumsnet.


At Mumsnet, I witnessed the power and value of online communities, but also the confusion and overwhelm caused by conflicting information and polarising debates on parenting topics. These debates cause overwhlem and make parents doubt their instincts.


As a mother myself, I've had my own share of sleep challenges and sleep deprivation. My older son, Ralph (7), had silent reflux and severe tongue-tie from birth, which went untreated. While he seemed to sleep well at night, daytime was a battle, as he rarely napped and was often inconsolable. After getting the right treatment and incorporating gentle sleep training and a solid routine, the situation improved significantly, and I was able to enjoy parenting more.


In contrast, my younger son, Rupert (age 2), had no problem napping, but only when held in someone's arms or a sling. Placing him in a cot would result in a meltdown. Desperate to find a solution, I sifted through a wealth of conflicting advice, much of which went against my instincts as a parent.


The conflicting information and advice on sleep training and parenting, in general, can be overwhelming for many families.


Many parents describe my sleep support as reassuring, caring, and always prioritises the needs of the baby and the family.


I will never sell you a generic sleep plan that forces you to ignore your parental instincts.

Janine has really helped me understand my baby's sleep and how to improve it, with gentle strategies that don't require letting my baby cry but by providing a level of support to teach my baby the skills he needs to fall asleep independently. We went from my baby not being able to sleep (ever!) unless he was being rocked and cuddled at all times, to falling asleep in his cot without any fuss at all. I didn't think it was possible to make the progress we've made, but with Janine's help bedtime has been transformed and I can finally have an evening to myself again! Look no further if you need someone to help you get sleep under control, Janine is helpful, friendly, understanding and tailors her advice to your individual circumstances. I really recommend her!

I booked a consultation with Janine when we were at our wits end with our 10 month old who was taking hours to settle at night and waking up constantly in the night if she wasn't cosleeping.


She worked with us to analyse our daughter's routine and provided us with a framework to get our baby back into her cot and self-settling, and within 2 weeks our baby is settling in her cot independently, and hardly waking up at night!


Janine's approach was really personalised to our family, and what we tried before, and still let us be guided by our parental instincts, which is something that can be rare in the baby sleep industry. We can't thank her enough!

Lauren McCourt

Can’t recommend Janine enough, when we first had our initial consultation, we were dealing with a baby who would only feed to sleep, 10-12 wakes a night, husband and I sleeping in shifts with severe sleep deprivation and a permanently grumpy overtired baby, however now we have a happy 7 month old who self-settles for naps and bedtime and is sleeping through most nights. Janine’s approach was fully supportive and non-judgemental, we can’t thank her enough, it has truly been life changing.
