Hi, I am Jelena, the face behind Sleeping Beauties 🤍

I’m a certified sleep consultant, mum of twin boys and a little girl, and the founder of Sleeping Beauties. I work closely with families to gently guide them through one of the most challenging parts of parenthood… sleep.

After supporting over 350 families, I’ve seen firsthand how life-changing quality sleep can be, not just for little ones, but for parents too. My approach is never one-size-fits-all. Everything I do and I create is tailored to your child, your parenting style, and your family’s needs.

I’m incredibly proud to have been recognised as an award-winning business last year, and to be named a finalist again in this year’s awards.

At Sleeping Beauties, you’re never doing it alone, I offer ongoing, hands-on support every step of the way 🤍

This is what sleep apnea can sound like in children.

It’s often dismissed as “just snoring”, but loud, persistent snoring, pauses in breathing, gasping, and restless sleep are key signs of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

What’s not always talked about are the less obvious signs…
Behaviour changes, irritability, night sweats, night terrors, and a BIG one: teeth grinding. 🦷

Both of my twins ended up having their adenoids and tonsils removed due to OSA, but there signs were very different from one another but luckily I knew what the signs were.

If your child’s sleep doesn’t sound or feel right, don’t ignore it. Keep an eye on the signs and trust your instincts!!!

I’m so excited to share that Sleeping Beauties Sleep School is a FINALIST for Outstanding Sole Trader for the second year in a row! ✨

To be recognised again after taking home this award last year is something I don’t take lightly. What started as a passion to help tired families has grown into supporting over 350 families across Australia and internationally and I couldn’t have done it without YOU.

To every family who has trusted me, every message shared, every recommendation made, and every single vote cast… thank you. Your support means the absolute world to me and my small business 🤍

I’m so proud of how far Sleeping Beauties has come, and even more excited for what’s ahead!

Bananas before bed? It’s a yes from me!!!

If your little ones are asking for a snack before bedtime, this is one of the BEST options you can offer and here’s why:

Bananas are naturally rich in magnesium and potassium, which help relax muscles and calm the nervous system (exactly what we want before sleep). They also contain tryptophan: an amino acid that supports the production of serotonin and melatonin, the hormones responsible for helping your child feel sleepy and stay asleep.

Unlike sugary snacks that spike energy (and bedtime chaos 😅), bananas provide slow-releasing carbs to keep blood sugar stable overnight, meaning fewer wake-ups and more settled sleep.

Daylight Savings Ends: How to Adjust Your Little One’s Routine 👇🏼

On April 5th, the clocks go back one hour in some Australian states. This means your little one’s usual 7:00 a.m. wake-up will be 6:00 a.m. 😴 But don’t worry! Here’s an easy plan to help them adjust smoothly:

🕰 Option 1: Gradual Shift (Best for sensitive sleepers) Move their entire routine 15 minutes later each day for four days before the change. This includes wake-up, naps, meals, and bedtime. ✔ Example: If bedtime is usually 7:00 p.m., shift it to 7:15 p.m., then 7:30 p.m., and so on.

🕰 Option 2: Immediate Change (Best for easy-going sleepers) On April 5th, follow the new clock time straight away! Stick to your usual routine but based on the new time. Some extra cuddles and patience may be needed for a few days.

🌟 Extra Tips: ✔ Expose them to natural light in the morning to reset their body clock. ✔ Keep bedtime routines calm and consistent. ✔ If they wake early, treat it as a night wake-up and resettle until their usual wake-up time.

They’ll adjust in about a week, stay consistent, and you’ve got this!

The 2 → 1 nap transition can feel like everything suddenly falls apart.

Your toddler who used to nap well is now:
💤 Refusing the morning nap
💤 Taking forever to fall asleep
💤 Fighting bedtime
💤 Waking early in the morning

And it leaves many parents wondering… is it time to drop a nap already?

The truth is, this transition usually happens between 15–18 months, but many toddlers show temporary signs earlier that can trick parents into dropping the nap too soon.

And when that happens?
You often end up with an overtired toddler, short naps and broken nights.

One of the biggest mistakes I see is parents dropping to one nap after a few skipped naps or a rough week. In reality, morning nap refusal needs to be consistent for 10–14 days before making the change.

The goal during this transition is to gradually shift the morning nap later until it becomes a restorative midday nap around 12:30–1pm.

And remember m, some days during the transition your toddler may still need two naps, and that’s completely normal.

If your toddler’s sleep has suddenly become messy, this transition might be the reason.

Save this post so you have it when the 2–1 nap transition hits your home 🤍

If your toddler’s naps, bedtime or early mornings are becoming a daily battle, I can help you put a clear plan in place.

Melatonin is quickly becoming the “Panadol of parenting.”

Baby not sleeping?
Toddler fighting bedtime?
Night wakes every 2 hours?

“Just give melatonin.”

But here’s the part no one wants to say out loud…

Melatonin does not fix sleep problems.

It helps with falling asleep, that’s it.
It doesn’t teach your child how to link sleep cycles.
It doesn’t fix frequent night wakes.
It doesn’t replace healthy sleep foundations.

So if a child is waking all night because they rely on rocking, feeding, co-sleeping, or motion to fall asleep… melatonin won’t solve that.

It just becomes a band-aid on a behavioural sleep issue.

And the hard truth?

The real work is building the foundations:
✔️ Consistent routines
✔️ Age-appropriate sleep schedules
✔️ Independent sleep skills
✔️ A sleep environment that supports consolidated sleep

Because when those things are in place…
Kids don’t need sleep supplements.

They sleep.

I know this opinion ruffles feathers, but after working with hundreds of families, the pattern is always the same:

Sleep problems rarely come from a lack of melatonin.

They come from a lack of sleep foundations.
