Baby 2 Sleep is built on the belief that sleep support should never feel pressured or prescriptive. Nicole prioritises normalising infant and child sleep, helping parents understand what's developmentally appropriate while offering practical strategies to make nights smoother and days calmer.
Every service begins with looking at your family as a whole, routines, behaviours, feeding, environment, and emotional wellbeing. This holistic approach ensures that any plan or advice is tailored, realistic, and aligned with your parenting style. Whether you're navigating newborn sleep, toddler bedtime battles, or behavioural bumps in the road, the support adapts as your child grows.
All online courses are designed to be genuinely parent-friendly: relaxed, chatty, and available in both video and audio formats for on-the-go learning. They're practical, affordable, and packed with real-world insight, perfect for busy parents who want clarity without overwhelm.
"I’m Nicole Ratcliffe, the founder of Baby2Sleep and mum of two beautiful and much-loved daughters.
My own journey as a new parent and the help I finally received after reaching out when my daughter was 8 months old, inspired me to train as a sleep consultant and fuelled my passion to support other families.
Throughout my life, I’ve always had clear goals and a determination to achieve them, equipping myself with the knowledge and information to succeed in whatever I tried to do. Being bullied as a teen, diagnosed with a chronic health condition in my early 20s and living hand to mouth in London for a year, I learned that even at my lowest points, I could get back up, but parenting has brought with it a whole new level of challenge.
I had a very down-to-earth background, being the eldest of 4 children growing up in a busy, but happy home, in a close-knit family. I was brought up with a strong work ethic, and seeing my own parents facing challenges, I thought I had very realistic expectations of what parenting and family life would be like. I’d always intended to have four children, and I was very confident that I was going to be a great mum, being extremely maternal, having read loads of books and attended antenatal classes.
The truth is, I wasn’t prepared at all for the reality of motherhood.
I had an idealised view. I had no idea of what to do when I didn’t have a textbook birth and ended up with an emergency C-section, when my baby wouldn’t breastfeed, when they tried to give her formula without my consent, when I developed an infection and when my baby just would…not…sleep!!"
