Anyone tried 'Sleep Scotland' or the 'Sleep Lady' from Edinburgh?

Am still having total nightmares with my 1 year old, possible reflux baby who NEVER sleeps. I saw the Sleep Lady who is a private consultant at recent baby show and she talked quite a lot of sense so recently booked her up to give us advice. costs quite a lot though she does seem to deal with all of the issues. Meantime, consultant at hospital had suggested Sleep Scotland as a support. We waited about 4 months for this hence why we went for other option, but they have now phoned and offered us an appointment. I really, really want support to tackle this and wondered if anyone had experience of either of these and how did they get on????

My SIL had someone out from Sleep Scotland who said things that made her throw him out of the house and they werent allowed back. Hopefully you have a different person and they are able to help you. It is awful when you are not getting sleep isnt it.

What did they say? thats the problem, am really worried that they may oversimplify the issues as they are all volunteers so unsure how consistent approach will be. Am very aware of all the issues related to sleep myself but due to reflux, have found it difficult to find a technique that suits us. With DD1 we went through all the sleep issues and knew how to handle them, but DD2 is totally different kettle of fish!!!

They told my SIL that despite this being her 3rd child that she had no idea how to routine a child and that her child had been wrongly diagnosed as autistic, that was just an excuse and there was nothing wrong with him. As you can imagine my SIL was fit to be tied. Im sure you wont have an experience like that though.

No advice to offer but I too met the Sleep lady at last year's Babyshow and thought she talked a lot of sense. I would have made an appointment to see her but a couple of weeks later the issues cleared up anyway.

Good luck anyhow

Pevie,

Have you seen the Sleep Lady yet?

I've just started going to her drop in session and she is great. I had just got so knackered I needed someone to tell me what to do. I have two sleeping boys now after a week!
