When we decided to try the ‘sleep doctor’ we were exhausted after 10 months of very broken sleep. C is now 18 months, her older brother is almost 3, so we have a busy house!……< C suffered reoccurring ear infections and was very dependant on a bottle in her cot to fall asleep, and took a bottle again at 11pm. After this she would wake frequently, needing us with her to go back to sleep, and was brought into our bed most nights. She had reflux as a baby and was quick to vomit if left to cry, so this was not an option. It took up to an hour of sitting with her to get her back to sleep, a couple of times a night. Even when she was in our bed she could be unsettled for the whole night. We began to dread bedtime. Lucy was very reassuring. Her plan for C impacted hugely on how our day ran, and very quickly everything settled down. By making small adjustments the 'stress points' of my day with the children are resolved, and within a week, C began to sleep through the night, without any bottle or assistance from us. C drinks her milk downstairs and no longer has a bottle during the night. After stories etc we now pop her in the cot and say goodnight; she falls asleep without us in the room, if she starts to cry she soothes herself, and is consistently sleeping 11-12 hours. To have full nights sleep ourselves is amazing, we are thrilled with the results. We wish we had done it sooner! We are delighted that C was never left alone to cry it out, it felt like a very gentle process. We would highly recommend Lucy to any family struggling with sleep issues.
