Child and Infant Sleep Care
Expert Child and Infant Sleep Therapists
At Sleepyhead Clinic, we understand how vital quality sleep is for your family’s well-being. When children sleep well, they thrive physically, emotionally, and developmentally. When parents sleep well, they feel better equipped to manage the joys and challenges of parenthood. Whether you’re a new parent or navigating sleep struggles with toddlers or older children, we provide expert guidance and support tailored to your unique situation.
Many parents we work with hear that sleep challenges are simply “part of being a baby.” While infant sleep naturally involves frequent waking, there’s a difference between normal patterns and issues like waking every 30 minutes or consistent signs of discomfort.
These struggles can affect the whole family’s mental and physical health, particularly that of mothers, who often shoulder the brunt of sleep deprivation. Our role is to help you recognise when something more is going on, understand your child’s needs, and implement practical, effective strategies to address these challenges.
Sleep is the foundation of healthy development for children, and restorative sleep is essential for parents. In today’s world, where parents juggle so many demands, it’s more important than ever to have a strong support system.
Founded by Sleep Expert, Stephanie Romiszewski, the Sleepyhead Clinic offers a safe, understanding space where parents feel heard, empowered, and respected.

Jim Ribeiro2026-01-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t speak highly enough of Sleepyhead and I have been evangelically recommending it to my friends and family ever since. I’d been struggling with sleep for years and it turns out that there is an evidence-based silver bullet that just works. Martin Nash2026-01-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Contacting the Sleepyhead Clinic was the best thing I have ever done. After struggling with sleep for as long as I can remember, I am now in control and the days of sore eyes and feeling like Im not functioning are gone. Caroline was amazing. Very clear and supportive. The structure works and resets your relationship with sleep. I cannot thank them enough. Stick with the program...don't try and cheat it would be my advice. Thanks again Caroline. Amelia Doyle2025-11-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I always wanted to go to a Sleeping Hospital Because I am have some trouble with the noises in my room or downstairs I always feel scared Connor Phillips2025-02-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Stephanie has been fantastic! Throughout the programme, I have felt fully supported, heard, at ease and most importantly it has been effective! Having suffered with chronic insomnia since my early teens, I have previously tried to address the issue on my own and have sought the help of other experts. You name it, I've tried it! Throughout the course with Stephanie, I learnt so much and genuinely believed in the programme, which was further strengthened and reinforced as the results followed. My sleep drive has been restored (feeling very sleepy on a night again is a great feeling) and my overall sleep and mindset has improved drastically. I never thought I'd be the sort of person to be getting up at 06:30 each day, working out at that hour and actually enjoying it! Touching base with Stephanie each week provided me with the invaluable opportunity to seek reassurance/clarity and allowed Stephanie to tweak and personalise my programme when necessary, based on my progression. I now have the tools, confidence and resources to manage my sleep going forward! Thanks a bunch, Stephanie! :) Carl Stevenson2024-08-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Stephanie provided an online workshop for our corporate finance focussed team at Deloitte. The way she combined deep technical knowledge, with practical methods of implementation through clear communications was extremely useful. I would 100% recommend to any corporate teams looking to arrange a session to start to approach the topic of sleep, as part of a wider commitment to wellbeing. Martin Godfrey2024-06-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Update: one year on from starting the sleep course - my sleep pattern remains fantastic --------- The sleep I now get is much better quality (and hence much more restorative) because I've been educated in the realities of sleep. I cannot thank Helen and Stephanie enough for the above - it's genuinely life changing. Sarah Deacon2024-05-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Stephanie over the last couple of months has been a very positive experience. I have learned so much & feel more in control of my sleep, which means I am less anxious and stressed going to bed. I have also learned that not every nights sleep will be perfect from now on, but this is OK too. I have so many tools to hand to help me feel more positive. Thank you. If you have been struggling with poor sleep for many years, you won't regret signing up to this course & changing habits forever. Frank Ellis2024-03-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Stephanie and sleepyheads completely resolved my severe insomnia issue last summer within weeks - simple advice which cut through all the rubbish posted on the internet about getting a good nights sleep / insomnia issues - I basically had 7 weeks without natural sleep worrying about a knee replacement and the affects on my mobility which was compounded by the insomnia - Stephanie helped me regain all natural sleep (without tablets ) and the last 6 months back to regular 7/8 hours a night quality sleep - thoroughly recommend her course and great source of help / empathy and understanding of the science of sleep - a game changer Black Dot2021-09-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely wonderful experience. I have had a pretty nasty sleep issue for 9 years. I have consulted sleep clinicians and doctors etc to help me to deal with this problem, and nothing has really stuck. I then signed on for the Sleepyhead Clinic Programme with Stephanie. From the get go I made improvements. Once I understand a process and why I need to do things in a certain way, I then become committed. Stephanie took the time to explain why the steps where necessary and once I understood them I was on-board. My sleep over the 5 week programme dramatically improved and is still good. I needed someone not to let me off the hook, (I can be a really tricky client and have often talked experts in to letting me do what I want to do, not what I should do!!). Stephanie kept me on the programme and didn't let me stray from it. I can’t recommend Stephanie and the Sleepyhead Clinic enough. Also Emma in the Sleepyhead office is lovely.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
