We now have the most wonderful bedroom routine
I had been following Nat on Instagram since my daughter was 8 weeks old. I’ll be honest, I was really scared to start work sleep training – worried about the impact it may have on my daughter – thinking I would need to stop breastfeeding, or leave her to cry. Nat reached out after I answered one of the polls on her story asking how things were. We were in a cycle of my baby being constantly exhausted – day ms had no routine, naps were contact naps that lasted no longer than 15 mins, and nights were awful. Co-sleeping, waking every 40 mins, and needing to be fed back to sleep every time. My baby and I were both exhausted and I was at my absolute limit. My husband and I went to bed at 6pm with our daughter every night so we had no life or time together – things had to change. And in entered Nat and changed our lives.
We now have the most wonderful bedroom routine that my daughter smiles all the way through. She goes into her cot for naps and sleeps for at least 1.5 hours 😍 she goes down at bedtime like a dream, and is now only waking 1-2 times a night for a feed, often doing 5-6 hour stretches, which only 3 weeks ago we couldn’t have dreamed of! Nat also helped us transition Lottie into her own room once she turned 6 months, and was always on hand to provide support, guidance and answer any questions. My only regret is being so scared and not starting sooner!! We never once had to do anything we weren’t comfortable with, my daughter was never once left to cry, we supported her every step of the way. Nat – you have changed our lives, I cannot thank you enough 🩷
