“My Baby Woke Every 45 Minutes…” — How Gentle Sleep Support Changed Everything

When Marta first reached out to me, she was at her limit. Her 9-month-old daughter, Sofia, was waking more than five times every night. Marta felt like she had tried everything—white noise, sleep sacks, dream feeds, even rearranging nap times—but nothing was working.
Most nights, Sofia would wake every 45 minutes, needing to be rocked or fed back to sleep. Marta was surviving on broken rest and sheer willpower.
With tears in her eyes, she said to me: “I love my baby more than anything… but I feel like I’m disappearing. I’m exhausted, short-tempered, and I barely recognise myself anymore.”
If this sounds like you, please know: you are not failing. And there is a gentle, supportive way forward.
The Truth About Baby Sleep (That Nobody Tells You - Sleep Support)
Between 5 and 18 months, babies go through enormous developmental changes—teething, learning new skills, and navigating emotional growth. It’s completely normal for sleep to be disrupted.
But when night wakings become so frequent that your days feel heavy and your nights feel endless, it’s time to seek guidance. And that doesn’t mean resorting to harsh methods or letting your baby “cry it out.”
There’s no one-size-fits-all solution—but every family deserves rest. And rest can happen with connection, not despite it.
What Changed for Marta and Sofia?
Marta joined my Gentle Sleep Solutions Group Coaching—a one-hour live video call session designed especially for parents who are overwhelmed by frequent night wakings and unsure where to begin.
In just one hour, Marta received clarity on the questions that had been keeping her up at night:
What’s normal for my baby’s age?
Why is my baby waking so much?
What gentle changes can I start making right away?
She left the session feeling empowered and informed, with simple, respectful strategies she could begin applying that same evening—no rigid routines, no tears, just understanding and support.
She later shared: “I finally feel like I understand my baby’s sleep. Just having someone explain it in such a kind, calm way—and actually listening to what I was going through—made all the difference.”
