Real sleep help, straight from Andria.

Andria has spent years helping families through night wakings, short naps, early mornings, and toddlers who fight bedtime like it's their job. She looks at the whole picture, works out what's actually driving the problem, and builds a plan that fits your family. Not a template.

What it's like to work with Andria

  • A plan built around your child and your goals

  • Andria works with you from start to finish. She never hands your family off to someone else.

  • Support when things don't go to plan (they sometimes don't)

  • Clear expectations up front, including that there may be some crying

Sleep training isn't just a method. Andria looks at feeding, schedules, sleep associations, and temperament before she suggests anything, then builds the approach around your child. Her approaches are moderate and adaptive: leave and check, or staying in the room and fading your support, depending on what fits your family. For older children, the focus is on setting boundaries, positive reinforcement, and building new habits and learned behaviours.

Many of her clients are busy professionals and senior leaders who want a direct, supportive approach. Doctors and pediatricians also call Andria for help with their own children, and many go on to refer their patients to us.

For children 16 weeks to 5 year of age. Andria has personally helped more than 2,000 families, and our team has helped more than 3,500.

About Andria

Andria Gordon is the founder of Have Baby. Must Sleep., a pediatric sleep consulting practice based in Toronto and serving families worldwide. She is certified in newborn and pediatric sleep through the Institute of Pediatric Sleep and Parenting (IPSP), has worked in the field for more than 7 years, and has personally helped more than 2,000 families. Across the practice, our team has helped more than 3,500. A mom of two, she became passionate about sleep after living through the sleep deprivation herself.

Before sleep consulting, Andria spent her career in marketing, advertising, and digital, most recently as a group account director at a leading agency. She worked with high-profile clients, delivering the care and oversight they needed, and she brings that same level of care and service to every family she works with. She has appeared on Global TV, contributed a daylight saving time piece to Canoe, been published on Medium and other blogs, joined podcasts, and given talks for Air Miles, Amazon, and Google.

Andria leads a team of 7 certified sleep consultants, all trained in pediatric sleep and most IPSP certified, and 8 Registered Social Workers (RSW, MSW) who deliver the More Than Sleep sessions. Three of our consultants are also Registered Social Workers, and two of our social workers hold the Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C). Our team also includes a pediatric dietitian.
