How the Overnight Support Works
Raquel provides in-home overnight support to help your baby learn to settle and sleep independently. She stays overnight with your baby, guiding the process hands-on while you rest.
Families choose to book 2–5 nights from the outset, as extending a stay once it has begun is usually not possible due to limited availability by the time the stay takes place.
We all know too well how draining sleepless nights can be.
Raquel's in-home overnight support coaches babies to learn to sleep independently while you regain rest and confidence.

What to Expect
Night 1
Once your bedtime rituals are complete, Raquel takes over settling.
She stays with your baby until they relax and fall asleep in the cot, learning what helps them settle enough to let sleep come.
Parents observe on the monitor, then rest overnight.
Night 2
With primary sleep associations removed, many babies begin to realise that sleep can happen without feeding, sucking, being held, or movement.
Settling is usually quicker, though temperament matters.
Night 3
Parents begin settling with Raquel’s real-time guidance.
Most babies settle within 30 minutes by this point, often sooner — but again, temperament matters.

Common Questions
Is this cry-it-out?
No. Raquel stays present and responsive, supporting babies through change rather than leaving them alone to cry.
Do parents need to do anything overnight?
No. Parents rest overnight while Raquel manages settling and resettling.
Will it work for my baby?
Babies vary. Some adapt quickly, others need more time. The approach responds to your baby in real time rather than forcing a fixed outcome.
Can we add extra nights later?
Usually not. Additional nights are best booked from the outset due to limited availability by the time the stay takes place.

Securing the next available weekend date places you on the wait list should an earlier opening arise. Once a booking is confirmed, families who are flexible with dates are very often able to be accommodated sooner.
