Our 5yrs and 10mths old daughter was getting more and more difficult to put to bed at night and every night she would come into our bed.My husband used to bring her out to her own bed but had to lie in with her until she fell asleep.Getting away was also difficult as she was hypervigilant and woke easily.Then the cycle started again.We felt we had no choice as her screams would disturb our other three children.

When it got to the stage that she would only go to sleep in our bed with one of us we were really desperate and exhausted.My friend told me about Lucy and I contacted her straight her away.I have to say my husband in particular was very skeptical about what could be done as things were so bad.

Lucy immediately set a plan in place for us to follow.The first few nights were very difficult(Lucy could almost  predict what was going to happen).However every few days we could see the progress we were making eg no lying in,moving out of the room etc.The biggest battles were during the night as we were afraid she would wake the house.These were the times when we felt close to giving in but Lucy’s follow up calls kept us motivated to stick with the plan on those difficult nights.These calls were very helpful and reassuring.

Three weeks later our daughter is now running up the stairs to bed,has no problems going to sleep and is sleeping 10-11 hours per night.

She is also a happier more easygoing girl during the day with far less tantrums,sulking and fighting with her siblings.So it is all good.It has really helped our relationship with her and we no longer feel as if our daughter may have behavioural issues or that we are completely crap parents.We all just had a lot to learn.

Lucy has also educated us about how important sleep is and this has helped us in dealing with our other children.It has also helped us have a little time to ourselves before going to bed and also we don’t feel as if bedtime has to go on for hours every night.

Really I could not recommend Lucy enough.Thank you so much Lucy.
