These are just a fraction of the positive feedback Wing Yan, Infant & Baby Sleep Consultant and founder of Precious Sleep has garnered. This is clearly the contributing factor to why her establishment was named winner of the BabyTalk & MamaPapa Readers’ Choice Awards 2020, Best Baby Sleep Consultant category.
Founded in 2016, Precious Sleep came about following Wing Yan’s deep desire to master the art of sleep training. Precious Sleep offers infant and sleep solutions through personalised coaching sessions, focusing on little ones learning the skills to fall asleep independently. The programs include Newborns (0-3 months); Infants (4-18 months) and Toddlers (19 months-4 years).
This bubbly and cheerful mom never imagined that getting a child to fall asleep would turn out to be such a laborious process. “My baby would not sleep unless I nursed or carried her to sleep, and just when I thought she was asleep, I would lay her down only to find her waking up again a minute later, and this cycle would repeat (for many hours through the night and day). It was horrible. The lack of sleep was taking a toll on myself and my poor baby was cranky all the time because she was not getting enough sleep, and it was starting to take away the joys of motherhood. I knew I needed to find a solution, as this could not go on,” she shared with BabyTalk.
Wing Yan started her research on sleep training before moving on to becoming a Certified Sleep Consultant. She then set up Precious Sleep. We discovered from Wing Yan, that the secret to successful sleep training is actually confidence. It will make a huge difference if there is someone to guide and support parents through the process of sleep training, as it is not easy doing it alone.
“It’s been 5 years now. I’ve helped so many families and babies gain their precious sleep back and it’s one of the most fulfilling feelings ever,” Wing Yan stated with conviction. Feeling truly honoured to be named a Winner in the BabyTalk & MamaPapa Readers’ Choice Awards 2020, she humbly declared that such a feat would not have been possible without the support from her past clients – the mamas and papas out there! She believes that this is a huge milestone, and a true testament of the trust parents have in her.
Precious Sleep prides itself in offering personalised one-on-one solutions, and with such tailored service she continues to fulfill her passion to help more parents find a solution to solve these delicate sleep issues. Her advice to parents out there is to keep in mind that while good sleep, especially for little ones, may not solve everything, but it will solve at least a healthy chunk of the issues. “Trust me, these are just baby steps (pun intended!)” she remarked.
