Sarah and 12 month old Nellie

Our 12 month old daughter was a terrible sleeper, a really good night was up every 2-3 hours for a feed, but a lot of nights we were up every hour. She would always end up in bed with us as it was the only way for me to get a little bit more sleep. She always had to be rocked or fed to sleep. With going back to work around the corner we realised something needed to change for our own sanity but also for our daughter as she was looking so tired. I also wanted to night wean but didn’t know where to start. It was really daunting signing up to Nat’s plan as we’ve been so used to our routine for 12 months, but we are SO glad we did. To say a normal night now is 1 wake/feed is AMAZING! I now feel more myself again just in time for starting work, and I didn’t have to night wean as such, as she just now sleeps better so isn’t waking for milk constantly. We also had the challenge of our daughter suddenly getting a horrible cold and cough as soon as we started with Nat, but her guidance and gentle approach (such as initially keeping the dummy for comfort whilst she got better) meant we felt more confident in our approach and gave her time to adjust. Our daughter is getting so much more sleep (even after day 2) which is what it was all about really 🩷 And now we can start talking about planning an evening out just the two of us soon which we haven’t done yet since she was born 😍 we both agree that we really enjoy her bedtime routine now, it feels like a really calming environment and we get the best cuddles from her☺️ thank you again Nat 🩷 no idea how you do it all with 4 boys yourself!!
