Softday builds gentle, responsive sleep plans around your baby's age, temperament and the way your family wants to parent, with no cry-it-out. It's for tired parents of babies and toddlers, from newborn to five years old.
Every plan starts with a free 20-minute chat, so we can both be sure coaching will help before you spend a penny. From there, you choose the level of support that fits your child's age and your week.

What a session involves
Whichever plan you choose, we work through the same four calm steps, at a pace that feels right for you.
1Tell me about your nights
You keep a five-day sleep diary and answer a short questionnaire about feeds, naps and how bedtime feels.
2We talk it through
On a video call or at your home, we read the diary together and agree what to change first.
3Your written plan
Within 48 hours you receive a step-by-step plan matched to your child's age and your comfort level.
4Support while it settles
I check in as you go, adjusting naps and bedtime until the new rhythm feels easy.
Hi, I'm Hannah
I spent twelve years as a children's nurse on NHS night shifts in Bristol, and then I had twins who didn't sleep. Learning to help them settle gently, without leaving them to cry, is how Softday began in 2018. I know how heavy those 3am wake-ups feel, and I'd love to help you get your evenings back.

Infant mental health trainingAttachment-focused, responsive approach
My approach is simple: your child's needs and your instincts both matter. We'll never use cry-it-out or rigid timetables. Instead, we build small, consistent changes that help your little one learn to fall asleep feeling safe, with you close by for as long as they need.
Every family is different, but these are the kinds of changes that happen when a plan fits.

Arjun was waking six or seven times a night and I was feeding him back to sleep every time. Hannah's plan felt kind, not rigid. Three weeks later he goes down awake at 7pm and sleeps until quarter to six.

Bedtime used to take ninety minutes and end in tears, usually mine. We moved Isla into a big bed with Hannah's two-week plan, and now it's twenty minutes, two books and one song.

Two babies, two completely different sleepers. Hannah helped us get their naps in sync, and for the first time since they were born my partner and I eat dinner together at the table.

Will my baby have to cry it out?
No. Every plan is responsive: you stay close, comfort as much as you need, and we move at your child's pace.
Do you work with breastfed babies?
Yes. Plans protect feeding, and I'll never ask you to drop night feeds before your baby is ready.
What if we need a little longer?
You can add a week of support for £60 at any point. Most families find two weeks is plenty.
