I first contacted Lucy when my 2.5yr old son started waking at night. Before this he slept through the night since he was 7 weeks old bar the odd illness/teething.

Prior to contacting Lucy, We tried crying it out, gradual retreat, controlled crying and in the end, we just took him into our bed. Both myself and husband were not happy about this but we were at our wits end and would do anything for sleep. This went on for 3 months with my husband or me sleeping in the spare room most nights.

I remember reading about Lucy but if I’m honest, the €300 fee held me back. I was embarrassed also, I’m his mother, why can’t I settle him????

The straw that broke the camels back was one evening myself and husband had a huge fight about nothing (we were exhausted at this stage and our marriage was hanging on by a thread). I contacted lucy the next morning and have never looked back.

Lucy never judged me, never belittled me or the situation we had got ourselves into. She was very honest with us and told us it will get worse before it gets better. She changed our sons daily routine and bedtime routine and gave fantastic advice for when he woke at night.

Not going to lie, first 2weeks were tough, I remember crying to lucy on the phone, wanting to give up, but she kept me motivated and gave me the kick up the bum I needed.

5 weeks later, I have a happy child who sleeps for 12 hours each night and also sleeps for 1.5/2 hrs during the day.

Please please anyone reading this, don’t hesitate, don’t wait as long as I did, I know it is a lot of money but you cannot put a price on sleep……. Or your sanity!!!!
