Helping Thousands of Families Build Balanced, Sustainable Sleep Through Individualized Care
Meet Rabia Öztürk, newborn and infant nurse, Holistic Pregnancy & Child Sleep Consultant, founder of Uyku Kuzusu, and one of Türkiye’s trusted voices in infant sleep education.
For nearly a decade, Rabia Öztürk has been helping families navigate one of the most challenging and transformative parts of early parenthood: sleep.
Since 2016, she has guided more than 5,500 babies and their families through individualized sleep journeys, combining her clinical nursing background with a compassionate, family-centered philosophy that recognizes every baby is unique.
As a newborn and infant nurse, Rabia understands that healthy sleep is influenced by much more than bedtime routines alone. Drawing on both her clinical experience and advanced professional education, she helps parents create balanced, sustainable sleep routines that respect each baby’s developmental needs, temperament, and family lifestyle.
Through her educational platform, Uyku Kuzusu (“Sleep Lamb”), along with her growing YouTube channel and social media community, Rabia continues to educate and support thousands of parents across Türkiye with practical, evidence-informed guidance.
A Foundation in Newborn and Infant Care
Rabia’s professional journey began in newborn and infant nursing, where she witnessed firsthand the profound impact sleep has on a baby’s growth, development, feeding, emotional regulation, and overall family well-being.
Working closely with infants and new parents gave her an appreciation for the challenges families experience during the early months of parenthood.
She understands that sleep deprivation affects not only babies, but parents’ physical health, emotional well-being, confidence, and ability to enjoy these precious early years.
This understanding continues to shape every aspect of her work today.
Recognizing That Every Baby Is Different
One of the defining principles of Rabia’s work is her belief that there is no universal solution to infant sleep.
Every baby has a unique temperament.
Every family has different routines, values, goals, and challenges.
Rather than applying standardized methods, Rabia develops individualized strategies that take each baby’s developmental stage and each family’s lifestyle into account.
This personalized philosophy has helped thousands of families build sustainable sleep routines that feel realistic, supportive, and respectful of their unique circumstances.
Discovering a Holistic Philosophy
Committed to continually expanding her knowledge, Rabia completed the Holistic Pregnancy & Child Sleep Consultant Certification Program through the International Parenting & Health Institute (IPHI).
Through IPHI’s Holistic Science of Sleep Method™, she deepened her understanding of the many interconnected factors that influence infant and child sleep.
Rather than focusing solely on sleep schedules or bedtime techniques, IPHI’s comprehensive curriculum explores how sleep is influenced by factors including:
- Circadian biology
- Feeding and nutrition
- Parent-child attachment
- Emotional well-being
- Developmental milestones
- Family dynamics
- Environmental influences
- Overall health and wellness
This whole-family perspective closely aligns with Rabia’s own philosophy that healthy sleep should always be approached with compassion, flexibility, and respect for each child’s individual needs.
She also continues her professional development through organizations including the International Parenting & Health Institute (IPHI) and the School of Pedagogy Training (SPT), ensuring the families she serves receive current, evidence-informed support.
Supporting Families Beyond Sleep
Although sleep is at the heart of her practice, Rabia’s work extends well beyond bedtime.
She provides guidance in:
- Individualized infant sleep support
- Toilet training
- Breastfeeding education
- Complementary feeding education
- Parent education
By addressing multiple aspects of early childhood development, Rabia helps families build confidence while creating healthy daily routines that support both children and parents.
Her goal is not simply to improve sleep for a few nights—but to help families establish sustainable habits that promote long-term well-being.
Educating Thousands of Families
In addition to her one-on-one work with families, Rabia is passionate about making trusted sleep education accessible to more parents.
Through Uyku Kuzusu, her YouTube channel, and social media platforms, she shares practical, evidence-informed information that helps parents better understand infant sleep, developmental changes, routines, and everyday parenting challenges.
Her educational content reflects the same individualized, compassionate philosophy that has guided her work with more than 5,500 families since 2016.
Building Confidence Through Compassion
Parents often seek sleep support during one of the most exhausting seasons of their lives.
Rabia understands the emotional impact of sleep deprivation and approaches every family with empathy, patience, and encouragement.
Rather than offering rigid solutions, she walks alongside families as they build routines that respect both their baby’s needs and their own values as parents.
Her work reflects the belief that healthy sleep is not about perfection, it is about helping families feel more confident, connected, and supported throughout their parenting journey.
