facebook.comThank you Arlene! For this lovely review. I can’t recommend Laura enough- she came for three nights to help me with my 14 month old who I was having to hold/rock to sleep at night and was waking every 2-3 hours expecting to be fed back to sleep. He could self settle for his day nap no problem but I just couldn’t see how to break the cycle at night and I was so anxious about hearing him cry. My husband works nights so I finally decided in the new year that I needed help as I couldn’t function back at work and I’m so glad I called Laura. She is so kind and easy going, she immediately put me at ease and I feel like I’ve known her for a lifetime! After discussing the issues Laura came up with a plan and helped me stick to it, although there was some crying she never left it long enough for him to become distressed and in fact got me to return to him frequently to reassure him. He’s now going down to sleep himself (still likes to have a grumble about it but nothing like before!), no night feeds and if he wakes up I’m confident in reassuring him without resorting to old sleep habits. I know there may still be bumps in the road ahead but I can’t believe the drastic difference already �
Wow! Children are so clever! I don’t like stair gates on bedroom doors. Clearly doubling up didn’t work either. 😂
Another lovely review! Thank you Laura x Laura saved our Christmas! We'd fallen in to bad habits getting our seven month old to sleep (either feeding or rocking her) and she was needing more and more help getting back to sleep. By December she was taking sometimes three hours to settle and waking up to four tines a night. I was ready to tear my hair out. Laura joined us for one night and talked us through a variety of techniques. Through asking lots of questions she helped up choose the best method for us and our daughter then she helped us implement it. It was actually quite an enjoyable night (weird as that sounds). My daughter wasn't left to cry it out at all and learnt to self settle (we even got rid of her dummy that night too!). Laura is kind, extremely knowledgeable and really interesting to spend time with. She gave us the tools to continue practising the technique and three days later I was able to entertain the wider family for Christmas lunch safe in the knowledge that my daughter was going to sleep through the whole thing. I can't believe how different things were two weeks ago. My daughter seems more settled in general thanks to Laura's suggested routine and I can put her down to sleep awake knowing she'll be asleep in minutes and without crying, it's wonderful. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Laura to anyone experiencing sleep deprivation.
Happy Christmas! 🎄 I’ve been so busy the past 6 weeks . I’m so sorry if I’ve been slow at responding to messages .... I’m absolutely exhsusted! I’ve been doing 6nights per week... Friday night was my last one until after Christmas .... I was helping mum to sleep train her 6 month old. When her older brother asked how do I get babies to sleep, his mum said she uses special sleep dust. As you can imagine I was all over this and delivered some to his house the next day.
The thing is... if we all had enough sleep the other stuff would be easier to deal with. I cannot chose sleep because it’s my job to be tired so I’d choose a house at cleans itself.
Thank you Lydia Having struggled with a bad sleeper (reflux) for 9 months, Laura helped us night wean and sleep through in two nights. She's magic. Well actually, she's completely professional, so knowledgeable but not bossy at all, friendly, easy going and reassuring. We felt so supported and completely confident in her methods and are amazed at the difference to our lives. And all without having to cry it out.
Thank you Charlotte for this review Laura is a miracle worker. I only wish we had contacted her much earlier. Within two days of her being there and guiding us through a new bedtime routine my 15 mths old daughter was settling herself to sleep without crying or fuss. We even managed to keep it up through a weekend if teething and flu, only a week after starting. If you’re even thinking about getting a sleep consultant to help, all I can say is call her, you will be glad you did!
Sorry for the inconvenience.... My phone has finally given up. Hopefully I will be able to get it fixed today. X
Thank you louise for this review. If you are debating about whether or not to get laura in - just do it!! After a nursery induced sleep disaster month, laura had our 11 month old sleeping through in less total time than we were spending trying to resettle him on any one wake up- using all the tricks we could (including boob). The whole process was also less stress than any one night before she came.- we felt so supported. Finally, she somehow made it not weird at all that a stranger was staying the night- being simultaneously available and unobtrusive- thank you laura !!!
Thank you emma for this review It’s certainly proving to be a busy week for me I can't recommend Laura highly enough. Personable, down to earth, caring and knows her stuff. I had Laura for an overnight stay to help me with my 7 month old who had been waking every 1-2 hours for over a month. I had some idea of the bad habits we had fallen into and I probably could have fixed them myself eventually but I didn't want to cause myself or my daughter any unnecessary distress by using my trial and error method! Laura picked up on our issues straight away, gave me a sleep plan I was really comfortable with and the confidence to carry it out. She is absolutely worth every penny.
