The service was phenomenal!
The first contact was via email and she asked me to keep a sleep diary for a week (daytime and night time sleep) and then send it to her, which I did.
She then emailed me back with a questionnaire that I had to complete that asked me all about the sleeping problems we had, why we thought they were occurring, what we had already tried and why it hadn’t worked. She also asked us to write about about the kinds of parents me and DH were so she could get an idea of our parenting styles.
After I returned that questionnaire she booked in a 2 hour phone call consultation that happened about 3 days later.
Initially the conversation focused on baby’s sleep cycles, what was realistic and what wasn’t, but also the importance of babies getting enough sleep to enable optimum development. We then spoke more about what I was struggling with and why I had reached the point of contacting her. She then talked to me about 3 different types of sleep training she does and we chose together what would be best for my son.
The last 1.5 hours was spent creating a very specific plan for my son including changing everything about his daytime schedules (naps and meal times) and then his bedtimes and nighttime (and nap time) rituals.
She gave me a very clear, step by step plan to follow and it worked amazingly! Me and DH had struggled for months with no real idea what we were doing so to have a very clear plan that had to be followed to a ‘T’ made things so much easier for us. We didn’t deviate it from it at all.
It was hard for the first few days but by the end of 7 days things had completely turned around for us all. It was astounding how much better things were. It sounds so cliche but it genuinely was like having a different baby.
The woman stayed in touch via email for a few weeks to follow our progress and check things were going as they should be so it was a really good service.
In the space of 10 days I went from being in a very, very dark place to having a baby who napped and slept wonderfully!!
