About The Sleeping Baby Routine
My Story
I’ve been teaching my The Sleeping Baby Routine for over 20 years, helping thousands of families achieve a full night’s sleep by focusing on digestion and a baby’s individual needs.
I first began my career in childcare as a professional nanny. I knew from an early age I had strong maternal instinct and would have a career surrounded by babies and children.
I started working as a maternity nurse in the mid 90’s in Australia, troubleshooting infant and toddler sleep issues and focusing on newborn digestion. For the first 5 years I specialised in twin routine which started the development of The 7pm to 7am Sleeping Baby Routine.
My method encourages a full night’s sleep holistically, with the results achieved naturally by meeting your baby’s daily needs as part of a structured day routin, and not by sleep training.
I believe in working with a child’s own individual capabilities as one routine does not fit all.
With 28 years’ experience, working with thousands of babies and children, my passion has led me to become a successful infant sleep, routine, digestion, reflux, and breast feeding expert. This has then allowed me to help parents get a confident start on their parenting journey and also help fix those sleep or routine issues so many parents may come across a little later down the line.
The 7pm to 7am Sleeping Baby Routine babies sleep through the night naturally, and at their own pace, as early as six weeks old.
My consultancy options offer help with a variety of child and parenting obstacles such as feeding, digestion issues, lactation, self settling, weaning, toddler behaviour and direction, potty training, moving on from co sleeping, or establishing routine at an older age.
The Sleeping Baby Routine approach is not for everyone but neither are sleepless nights!
The 7am to 7pm Sleeping Baby Routine
My book 7pm to 7am Sleeping Baby Routine is a complete guide to the newborn stage and beyond. It can also be used for all your newborn and parenting needs whether you choose routine or feed on demand.
As well as sleep routines you will find expert advice on breastfeeding and lactation, bottle feeding, reflux and twin routines or how to introduce simple structures and create your own routine.
The 7pm to 7am Sleeping Baby Routine is flexible, and easily changed on a daily basis to suit you and your developing baby.
I hope you enjoy my book and if you need some help implementing the routine or troubleshooting why not get in touch? Happy parenting!

What parents are saying
Charmian is brilliant, non-judgemental and straight to the point.
Being a first time mum during lock down has by far been the hardest moment for me. Charmain very quickly turned disorder into order for me.
Charmian is so wonderful and her method is incredible.
I have followed this with twin girls that she implemented her routine with and two years later they are still the happiest little girls and sleeping 7-7 every night.
Charmian has been instrumental in helping us get our lives back!
Her gentle but no nonsense approach ensured we had results from the very first night of implementing her advice/routine.
