SO GLAD I WENT THROUGH WITH IT!
I was very apprehensive of using a sleep consultant as from what I’d heard it didn’t seem like a good fit for our family and parenting style. However I decided to give Nat a try. Our main issues were false starts, short naps and the fact my daughter had always been fed to sleep which meant I didn’t feel confident leaving her with anyone over nap/bed times. The times I had tried to get her to nap in her cot or allow someone else to put her down had resulted in unbearable screaming. Nat came up with a gentle plan that allowed me to pick up and comfort my daughter, keep her in our room and continue breastfeeding unlike other plans I’d heard of. She was very supportive and it was great to be able to message Nat when things were not going to plan. She was a little cheerleader in my phone and adapted things when needed. Within a week we were having two hour naps in her cot without tears, she was able to fall asleep without feeding and there were no more false starts. I’m less stressed about going back to work and my daughter is even able to put herself to sleep when placed in her cot. I nearly didn’t go through with it but I’m so glad I did. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nat or use her again.
