Look for three things: verifiable certification (IACSC is the most respected credential in professional sleep consulting), a track record of verified reviews from real local families, and transparency about their methods. Chantal Murphy is IACSC-certified, holds 375+ verified five-star Google reviews from Australian families, and uses only gentle, no cry-it-out methods. You can book a free 15-minute Discovery Call to ask questions and make sure it's the right fit before booking.

No — never. The Baby Sleep Magic Method™ is entirely gentle and responsive. Chantal does not use cry-it-out, controlled crying, or extinction-based methods in any form. Every sleep plan is built to protect your baby's emotional security and your attachment relationship, while building sustainable, independent sleep habits. This isn't a compromise on results — 4,000+ families and 375+ five-star reviews are proof that gentle methods work. Learn more about the Method™.

Most Melbourne families notice meaningful improvement within the first 48 to 72 hours of implementing the plan. Sustainable, consistent sleep typically develops over 2 to 4 weeks as your baby builds new sleep associations and confidence. The 4 weeks of follow-up support included in every consultation is specifically designed to guide you through those weeks — adjusting the plan as your baby responds, and supporting you through any dips or regressions that arise during implementation.

Online Melbourne consultations are $349 AUD and include a comprehensive video call, a personalised written sleep plan, and 4 weeks of follow-up support via phone, text, email and voice messages — plus 1 month of free access to the Baby Sleep Magic App. You can also book a free 15-minute Discovery Call first, with no obligation.

Chantal supports families with babies and children from newborn (0–12 weeks) through to toddlers up to 4 years of age. This covers newborn settling foundations, the 4-month sleep regression and subsequent regressions at 6, 8, 12, 18 months and 2 years, nap transitions including the 2-to-1 nap drop, and toddler bedtime resistance. If you're unsure whether your baby's age or situation is something Chantal works with, book a free Discovery Call and ask.

For Melbourne families, the online consultation is the primary format — and it's just as thorough as an in-person visit. It's a comprehensive 60–90 minute video call where Chantal reviews your baby's full sleep history, environment, feeding, and temperament, then builds a personalised written sleep plan. It includes 4 weeks of follow-up support via phone, text, email and voice messages. Melbourne families consistently tell us the online format is everything they hoped for — and many prefer the flexibility of booking it from their own lounge room.

Formal sleep training methods are not appropriate for newborns under 12 weeks — their neurological development isn't ready for sleep schedule intervention, and their nutritional needs require responsive feeding. What Chantal does for newborns is build healthy sleep foundations: establishing age-appropriate routines, creating optimal sleep environments, understanding newborn sleep cycles, and introducing gentle settling techniques that support — rather than fight — your newborn's natural biology. These foundations make everything easier once your baby is developmentally ready for more structured sleep support, typically from 3–4 months.

A sleep regression is a period — typically 2 to 4 weeks — where your baby's sleep suddenly worsens after a period of sleeping well. Regressions are linked to developmental milestones and brain growth. The most common ones occur at 4 months, 6 months, 8–10 months, 12 months, 18 months and 2 years. The 4-month regression is the most significant because it involves a permanent neurological change in how your baby cycles through sleep stages. The key to navigating regressions is having strong sleep foundations in place beforehand — which is exactly what the Baby Sleep Magic Method™ is designed to build.
