Confident Baby Sleep Co.
Expert newborn support rooted in clinical midwifery, evidence-based care, and genuine belief that you already know your baby better than anyone.
As a mom of two, I've lived every exhausted, uncertain, beautiful moment of this. I built this service because every family deserves a village — and I want to be part of yours.

About Chelsea
I'm a UK-trained midwife, postpartum doula, certified breastfeeding specialist, sleep consultant, and infant massage instructor with over 10 years of experience supporting families through the newborn period — across Scotland, England, and now Maryland.
I've had the privilege of serving a diverse population of families and I'm a passionate advocate for maternal mental health. During my midwifery career in London, I was part of a pilot programme building new NHS service pathways for families experiencing mental health challenges during the perinatal period — including those who had experienced the loss of a baby, traumatic birth, miscarriage, or fertility treatment.
I understand that every pregnancy carries its own history. I bring sensitivity, experience, and deep respect to families navigating a subsequent pregnancy after loss, IVF, or trauma — you will never need to explain yourself or minimise what you have been through.
Based in Maryland and available virtually, I bring clinical expertise and genuine human warmth to every family I work with — helping parents move from exhausted and uncertain to capable and confident.

Why postpartum support matters
With feeding challenges, exhaustion, and a lack of support in those early weeks, the foundation for sleep, confidence and mental health is set. The right support at the right time changes everything.
1 in 5
Women experience perinatal mood or anxiety disorder
Postpartum depression and anxiety are far more common than most parents are told — and skilled support in the early weeks is one of the most powerful protective factors. CDC / Postpartum Support International
90%
Breastfeeding initiation with skilled support
Early postpartum support significantly improves breastfeeding success and duration — one study found 90% of participants with doula support successfully initiated breastfeeding. WHO / CDC-supported research
57.5%
Lower risk of PPD & anxiety
Doula support has been shown to significantly decrease the likelihood of postpartum depression and anxiety — with one study showing a 57.5% lower chance of these issues developing. Peer-reviewed research

Stronger attachment & confidence
Good support during the postpartum period increases the likelihood of secure parent-infant attachment and helps parents feel confident, prepared, and genuinely supported. Clinical research
Recognition
Awarded at the Celebrating Forces Families Awards in the UK — recognising my commitment to military families during the perinatal period.
My Masters dissertation — Operation Mum — explored mobility, separation and social isolation on the psychological status of UK army wives in the perinatal period.
MSc Science · Perinatal Research
As a military spouse myself, I know first-hand how hard it is to raise a family without a village. Moving, deploying, starting over — and doing it all while growing or caring for a newborn. You deserve support that truly understands that.

You just need to be theirs."

How we work together
Every family is different. I provide personalised care with genuine availability — because you deserve more than a generic programme.
A note on collaborative careI work in collaboration with your existing medical team. I am not a replacement for your OB-GYN, midwife, or pediatrician — those relationships matter deeply and your providers know your full history. My role is to sit alongside that care, filling the gap between clinical appointments with hands-on, personalised support. I will always refer to your medical team where specialist care is needed.
I work with a small number of families at a time to ensure I can be truly present for each one. If you are expecting, reach out now — spaces are limited and fill quickly, especially for in-person Maryland care.
The Foundation Package
$1,950
Comprehensive support through your baby's first weeks at home — overnight care, expert education, and direct access to me when you need me most.
What's included
The Breastfeeding Support Package
From $600
Like learning any new skill, breastfeeding deserves patience, practice, and the right support. With expert guidance at the right moments, your feeding journey can be positive, empowering, and entirely your own.
What's included
* Price may vary depending on travel time and location. Please enquire for details.
Additional Overnight Shifts
$375
Sometimes you just need one more night. Additional overnight shifts can be added to any existing package — because rest is never a luxury, it's a necessity.
Important to know
Coming soon · Infant Massage USA
I'm completing my IMUSA certification and will be offering small group and individual classes for Maryland families soon. Classes are parent-led — you learn the strokes, you build the bond.
For military families
Maryland is home to some of the largest military communities in the country — Fort Meade, Joint Base Andrews, and the US Naval Academy in Annapolis are all right here. I know this community because I am part of it.
As a military spouse herself, I've navigated deployment, relocation, and the postpartum period without the support network most families take for granted. Her Masters research was built on listening to women exactly like you. She gets it — not from a textbook, but from lived experience.
Whether you're newly posted to Maryland, your partner is deployed, or you're simply far from home — I will meet you exactly where you are.
Frequently asked questions
If your question isn't here, please reach out — I love to chat and there are no silly questions when it comes to your baby.
Who do you work with?
I work with expectant parents, newly postpartum families, and anyone navigating the newborn phase — first-time parents, families expecting multiples, families navigating a complex or challenging start, military families without local support, and anyone who simply needs an experienced, knowledgeable person in their corner. I work collaboratively alongside your existing medical team and will always refer where specialist care is needed.
How do I get started?
Simply send an email to confidentbabysleepco@gmail.com and I'll be in touch to arrange a free discovery call. This is a no-pressure conversation to talk through your needs, answer any questions, and make sure the fit feels right for your family.
How far in advance should I book?
As early as possible — ideally during pregnancy. I work with a small number of ber of families at a time to ensure genuine availability and personalised attention. Spaces for in-person Maryland care fill quickly, especially around popular due date windows.
Where do you cover in Maryland?
I'm based in Severna Park and provide in-person care across the greater Annapolis, Baltimore, and surrounding Maryland areas. Virtual consultations are available to families anywhere in the US and internationally.
Can packages be combined or customised?
Absolutely. My whole approach is personalised — no two families are the same and no two packages need to be either. If you're interested in combining the Foundation Package with breastfeeding support, or adding extra sessions, just ask. Everything is designed to flex around your family's needs.
What sleep methods do you use?
I don't follow a single rigid method. I create a personalised plan built around your child's temperament, your parenting values, and your goals as a family. Sleep consulting is available from newborns through to age 4 — because sleep challenges don't stop at the newborn stage. Book a free discovery call to talk through your situation.
Are virtual sessions available?
Yes — I offer virtual education sesson sessions, sleep consultations, and ongoing support to families anywhere. While in-person care is available for Maryland families (and preferred for overnight and breastfeeding sessions), many families find virtual support works beautifully for education sessions and check-ins.
What if I need more support than the package includes?
Every family is different and sometimes you simply need more. Additional sessions, overnight shifts, and extended support can always be added on. My priority is that you feel supported for as long as you need — never rushed through a package and out the door.
