AIBU to ask for recommendations for a sleep consultant

[sleepmcsleepysleepsleep]

Posting for traffic. Looking for recent successes. There are so many, it’s hard to know who to trust (bit like trying to find a good builder!) and the only one recommended to me is way out my price range... nearly £700!!

I am already pretty sceptical so hoping MN has some fabulous this person worked for me recommendations before I pass out with exhaustion.

Thanks!

I used a Lady called Leigh Swanborough who was fab. She has 3 packages, I went for the middle one which was about £400 I think
( I found her through the Lucy Shrimpton website)

What's the nature of the sleep problem please? Adult or child?

Just get hold of the Ferber book. Life changing. Took three nights (he was two and also bfing hourly at night). Covers bfing and co-sleeping, really not the monster some make him out to be

childsleepsolutions.

Her name is NIcola and she was AMAZING!

She changed my life!

A fantastic service for only £90!!

I already know the Ferber method and all the other options. We followed the Naps plan sleep solution book which worked for number 1, but number 2 is a bit more stubborn!! For various reasons I would prefer to chat to a person. Thanks though.

Thanks all, going to try Nicola. Fingers crossed!

She's contactable through Facebook - she has her own page. She got back to me within 24 hours when I messaged her.

Following her instructions I had a completely different baby within 5 days. I can't recommend her enough:

Thanks Queen, that’s just what I needed to hear

We worked with Ann Caird at Nurturing Sleep following a MN recommendation.

Incredibly kind lady, sensible well thought out suggestions, I saw immediate improvements but she is very realistic about the process.

Baby now sleeps through

Millpond.co.uk Amazing. Really gentle. Transformed my non sleeping baby,

@QueenofmyPrinces I just had to say THANK YOU for recommending Nicola!!! She is every bit as fantastic as you say and if I could I would hunt you down and give you a big thank hug!!

Ooh, what did she have you do?! Does your baby sleep through now?

@littlestrawby we are on day 6 and although she wakes occasionally still, last night she resettled herself both times. If I didn’t have the monitor on I probably would have slept through! Compared to where I was ... hourly wakings, boobing to sleep.. in my bed... this is amazing!

She makes simple adjustments to your routine and then gives you a sleep plan you are comfortable with. If you pay the premium package she is available for 5 weeks I think for emails. I have been messaging her everyday as it is just so helpful having someone listen and respond even if just to say well done ha ha!
