“I cannot put into words the life changing difference Lucy has made to our lives. Our son A,who is almost 2 , is the light of our lives and in general is a good child, except at night time !.
Myself and my husband both work full time and since I went back to work after maternity leave, over a year ago , it’s been very tough going.
On an average night ,it could vary, A could wake every hour, all nig…ht , or, he could wake at 1 a.m and eventually go back at 5a.m. This would happen almost every night .Sometimes a bottle would soothe him, other times ,he would have no interest. I was managing on 2-3 hours sleep some days and it just began to take it’s toll ,Physically and mentally.
We had tried everything , from leaving him cry it out,to putting him into the bed with us, which I swore we would not do, but we would have given anything just for a solid 5-6 hours of unbroken sleep. We had changed his matress 3 times ,thinking he was uncomfortable, to moving his cot around his room in to different positions. By the time we contacted Lucy, we had changed his cot in to a bed and moved it into the spare room, where one of us was sleeping in the spare bed next to him . I knew at this stage that we had finally reached the end of our tether.
I can honestly say , by the time the first week was up ,A was sleeping. Just slight changes to his routine during the day ,and using different techniques by night to soothe him, he was like a different child. He sleeps better during the day , his concentration is alot better ,he’s eating better. It’s just had a knock on effect on all aspects of our lives.
It’s been 6 weeks now and bar one or two restless nights after the first week, he is sleeping right through the night from 7 p.m to 7 a.m. We finally have our lives back .I cannot thank Lucy enough for her help and guidance.
My only regret is that we didn’t contact Lucy sooner. We waited until A was nearly two before we decided we needed help and looking back now I don’t know how we were surviving .It would have saved us so many nights of sleep and alot of tears.
I would highly recommend any parent(s) that are having trouble with their little ones at night to pick up the phone and make the call. I can honestly say it’s the best decision we ever made. ”
