SO GRATEFUL!
I was apprehensive to start sleep training, as my little one is only 4 months old and I was really unsure about whether she was ready. However, getting her into her cot for daytime naps had become a battle, and I was driving her to get her to sleep during the day, which was unsustainable. We were also heavily reliant on the dummy, which meant multiple dummy runs in the night. Whilst she was only wanting one feed, she couldn’t put herself back to sleep unless we put the dummy back in – also unsustainable! Our aim was to have her self settle when she woke in the night, so that we were only up with her if she was hungry – she’s only little so we weren’t expecting her to sleep through yet, but I was hoping for a more predictable daytime routine and no dummy runs! When I messaged Nat she gave me different options for methods we could try. Despite choosing a method initially, Nat was really flexible and adaptable and after changing methods, on day 2 of our week together, suddenly, my little girl went down to sleep in her cot within 3 minutes, with no tears and no dummy! Nat really helped me understand daytime naps and wake windows and how to set my little one up for a successful bedtime, and she’s really helped me develop my confidence with planning my days to ensure she’s getting enough sleep, and I have a routine than I can plan for! I’m so grateful – Thankyou Nat!
