What moves the price
- Consultant's experience — a sleep consultant with long experience in child sleep may charge more for each package.
- Complexity of your baby's sleep issues — medical concerns or several sleep problems need a longer plan and more follow-up.
- Duration of support needed — packages with weeks of follow-up support cost more than a single sleep consultation.
- Travel distance — night support or home visits further away take more of the sleep consultant's time.
What families pay for Childcare is down 35% over five years, largely because of subsidies (CSO Consumer Price Index, Childcare, to 2025 December); what providers charge has not fallen in the same way. CSO CPM18
