A Different Way to Look at Your Baby’s
or Toddler’s Sleep
5 perspectives that help you understand what’s really going on – and something small you can try tonight.
What is this about?
This is a free guide for parents of babies and toddlers who are struggling with sleep. Most sleep advice focuses on what to do – but sleep isn’t just a technique problem. It’s connected to biology, emotions, your own nervous system, the bigger developmental picture, and practical everyday life.
In this guide, Heidi Winkler – pediatric nurse, IBCLC, and sleep consultant with 20+ years of experience – shares five integrated perspectives on your child’s sleep. Each perspective comes with one small, practical thing you can try tonight.
No rigid methods. No fear-mongering.
Just clarity, warmth, and something real to try.

Five different perspectives that most sleep advice completely ignores
One small, doable thing you can try tonight for each perspective

About me
I’m Heidi – Austrian-American, pediatric nurse, lactation consultant (IBCLC), and sleep consultant.
For the past eight years, I’ve worked as a maternity nurse and nanny in private households internationally, accompanying families from birth through the early years. Before that, I spent more than a decade in pediatric nursing and family consulting.
Over the years, I’ve cared for babies and young children through countless nights – in hospitals and in family homes – and learned firsthand how intense and exhausting the early months and years can be. I know what 3am feels like: the quiet, the responsibility, the deep tiredness, and the need to stay steady when you still have to function the next day.
I believe that when parents feel supported, informed, and calm, everything shifts. A truly good start shapes not only sleep, but the entire foundation of family life – and that belief is what led me to create The Integrated Sleep program.

In my first conversation with Heidi, I told her my story and was immediately overwhelmed by my own feelings. And that’s exactly what helped — she gave me back the view of the bigger picture that I had lost. I was stuck in my own hamster wheel

Heidi simply managed, with her incredibly positive nature and her broad knowledge, to help our daughter sleep through the night — and nap for 1–2 hours during the day again. We all feel so much better. She also supported us with weaning,
