We contacted Lucy after eight months of incredibly difficult sleep with our little boy. Our little one had always woken frequently in the night. Following a sleep regression at four months, and lots of colds we were struggling with around 8 to 10 wakes a night. Naps we’re always contact, as if we put him down in the crib he would wake after 20 minutes. My partner and I were completely exhausted. Whilst we have always enjoyed our little boy very much, the cumulative impact of poor sleep was taking its toll on us. We contacted Lucy for support after I read her book. At the time we had very little structure to our day and we’re doing what we could to get by. Neither me or my partner had the energy to implement the plan from Lucy’s book without support. We also knew that moving our son to his own room and shifting away from contact naps would feel difficult for us. Straight away we felt safe in Lucy’s hands. It was encouraging to hear that given our sons temperament she felt confident her approach would work. Not only did we work on sleep, but Lucy gave us the confidence to make big shifts with regards to offering solids for our son, which had felt overwhelming as first-time parents. Initially, we were worried that more structure would feel claustrophobic, however we have found as we have got used to more predictability l, our son has responded very positively, which has had a huge positive impact upon us all. We made some initial wins with the feeding and nap structure. However we were still having frequent wakings, the real changes came when we began the sleep learning process. The first night felt like a challenge and our son woke up 30 minutes later. I remember emailing Lucy for reassurance. She advised me to trust me and my partner as parents, trust our little boy and also the process. This was the line that helped us through when it felt hard. We committed ourselves completely to Lucy’s advice as we began to see huge changes from the second night of sleep learning. Lucy held a safe space for us and unwavering confidence which gave us a lot of hope. Two months on and our little boy is sleeping in his own room, in his own cot, and generally only waking once a night. He is a reliable sleeper now and reliable with naps too, which has given some much needed downtime for us as parents. We love the floor-based routine that Lucy encouraged for bedtime, which is based around connection. We are both more rested and present to enjoy our gorgeous little boy. We are so grateful for Lucy’s expert guidance. Getting rest has been life changing and we can see the positive impact on our baby, who seems to be developing new skills each week and has sailed through getting 6 teeth in the past 2 months!
