She made us believe that we can do this and we did it!
I have never imagined that babies sleep can become so difficult. At night our girl was waking up every 30min, used breast like a dummy, we were carrying and rocking her to sleep, she couldn’t fall asleep independently and during the day her naps didn’t last longer than 30min, she wouldn’t fall asleep in the car seat or the pram. She was just crying every time she felt tired. And this is when we decided to contact Nat. We had no clue how sleep consultant can help us, but we were desperate…
We were anxiously waiting to start. Within a week (way before our start date) Nat prepared a sleep plan and shared it with us. It was very detailed and tailored to our baby. When we started working together, I was surprised how often Nat was checking in. She messaged before every nap time and immediately after. She would guide you through each wake and bedtime, encourage you to spend time and bond with your baby in a calm and relaxing way. Every morning I would wake up to a message from her asking how was our night. And many questions I had she answered with her expertise and personal experience.
From night one, our little girl who never slept in her cot, slept in it all night and had longer sleep stretches. It wasn’t an easy start, but just in a few days she became calmer, she would go to sleep independently and was waking up only 2 times (our goal never was her sleeping through the night). We could not believe how much she’s changed!
During the day she started having 2hr naps, she falls asleep in the car seat and her pram. And she doesn’t cry! And all of this while our baby was sick and heavily teething.
After working with Nat for 3 weeks, having her literally holding our hands while going through this journey and being there for all the situations and questions we had was very empowering. She made us believe that we can do this and we did it! We achieved every goal that we asked her to help us with. We’re more rested and a lot happier. We have time for ourselves and our baby girl is well rested and content. And although Nat’s support has ended, she left us with a great amount of knowledge and confidence to continue and tackle any future challenges.
We will be forever grateful to Nat for making our life’s better!
