Highly, highly recommend Nat- she has transformed our babies sleep and therefore our lives! We went from having a baby who woke twice a night to the 4 month sleep regression, in which he was wide awake from 1-4am. We kept thinking things would improve but he went from split nights to being totally unable to link sleep cycles- waking every 45 mins. Again we thought things couldn’t get worse but he then wouldn’t go down at night- we had false starts every 20 mins or so until one of us went up and put him in bed with us. Naps were always in the pram walking ad hoc or being cuddled. I was reluctant to start with a sleep trainer as I had not heard of any methods which didn’t involve leaving baby to cry. After 3 months of 3-4 hours sleep a night, taking shifts with my husband in the spare room, we decided to seek help.
The first day we started with Nat was on the back of returning from holiday on which none of us had had much sleep. On day 1 the first method we tried did not work for us- Nat immediately changed the method and within a few days we had got rid of the dummy, moved Arthur into his own room and he was going 4-5 hour stretches. For the first time since he was born I was able to put him in his cot for a nap. We started 1 week before Christmas, and were amazed that we could put him down in the evening and come back down to spend time with family. I hadn’t anticipated that Nat would also fix the day time nap situation, but the routine she gave us in the day seemed to miraculously transform the nights. I have been referring to her as a magician! We’ve also had her help going to/ retuning from the states and battling baby jet lag and this has been invaluable. In the 4 weeks we’ve worked with Nat, we’ve never left Arthur’s side and this method has worked for us and him. Thank you so much Nat- you helped transform our babies first Christmas from a time we would have been exhausted and stressed to one that was totally magical, filled with family memories. If you’re thinking about getting help- don’t put it off- it’ll be worth it!
