If you are looking for a sleep consultant who understands Indian homes, multi-generational living, cultural routines, or the realities of being an expat parent  this guide is for you. Rather than ranking “the best” we group consultants by approach and location so you can choose someone who fits your family and goals.

First, a quick primer.

Sleep Training vs Gentle Sleep - short definitions

• Sleep Training: A structured approach that teaches babies to fall asleep on their own and stay asleep longer through the night.

• Gentle Sleep: A gradual, connection-focused approach that supports co-sleeping or parent-led settling while slowly building independent sleep skills.

If you want a deep dive on the differences and how to choose, listen to Rinie’s episode “Sleep Training vs Gentle Sleep  Which Is Right for Your Baby?” (Modern Indian Parent podcast).
