I would never imagine before that good sleep changes so much.

When we contacted Lucy, my husband and I were totally worn out. Since his birth we had a family bed and in the beginning all three of us were totally fine with that solution, but after 4 month we decided that it is time for J to move slowly into his bed. Our bed was just too small and we hoped for better sleep for all three of us. So, I nursed him to sleep every night and put him down in his cot. He was always awake after a couple of hours or just 30 min. Then again nursing and hoping that he wouldn’t wake up when you tried to put him down in his cot and even when it worked we were only on tiptoes in our apartment and whispering to each other…not really a normal life. But every night after a certain point we gave up and he slept with us. Even that was quit okay with us, but week after week his sleep pattern got worse and sometimes he refuses to fall asleep and/ or was awake every hour to 30 min. And every time the only thing he wanted was breast milk. I seriously have 10 books about baby sleep and I also talked about it with his pediatric. Her advice was at 6 months: Crying out. In the beginning I totally refused to do it but after a couple of month I was desperate and we tried it 2 times. And then we felt like the worst parents on the planet. At 13 months I spoke to a friend of mine who worked with Lucy and had the same problem with her LO before….OMG, I was so jealous and contacted Lucy right away after I got her contacts. Right from the start my husband and I had a really good feeling with Lucy even when we only had contact via skype. After three days we saw the first results, after one week J was night weaned and woke up only 1-2 times, after 3 weeks we made together with Lucy the decision to let J fall asleep alone. After this, he slept through. After 4 weeks we just follow our routine (naps and night time sleep), give him a hug and a kiss, put him down on his belly and leaving the room.  And even when he wakes up during the night, we just walk in, put him back on his belly or help him to find his pacifier and  that’s it. No more hours that you spent in his room, hoping that he falls asleep so that you hopefully could catch some sleep too. It is simply heaven and now everybody can put him down for his naps or night time sleep. We can’t thank Lucy enough for her help and working hard to convince everybody to reach out for her help, when they have sleep problems with their LO’s sleep. And the most important thing is: You can see how much calmer and happier our son is.
