“We contacted Lucy when our daughter was just under 6 months. She had never slept through the night, would wake every 2-3 hours and had to be breastfed back to sleep. She would often be awake for long periods during the night and would cry for hours. She was not good at taking naps during the day and fell asleep in my arms or on the move in the car or buggy and usually after a long crying spell. She was clearly overtired but we did not know how to settle her and help her sleep. She would cry when put into the cot. She could not be left with anyone even my husband as she regularly got so upset that the only way to calm her down was nurse her. I kept hoping that this would get better with time but once it became apparent it wouldn’t I realised I needed help.

 

We met with Lucy and straightaway I knew she would be able to help us. She talked us through our daughters schedule and was instantly able to tell us how we could adjust the times in her routine to help. She told us what we would need to do and designed a programme especially for us. Within a few nights she was going to sleep on her own in her cot and in a very short space of time she was not being fed during the night and we could resettle her, within 2 weeks she was sleeping through the night.

 

Lucy warned us that she may cry during the process of teaching her to settle but honestly compared to the crying that we had already experienced it was not too bad. The follow up calls from Lucy were a fantastic support and gave me the confidence to stick with it.There were tough nights and you have to be willing to put in the effert, but the results are fantastic. We can now read her sleep signals and know when she needs to sleep. She takes 3 naps a day in her cot and is asleep by 7pm and sleeps through usually till about 6. There are days when for one reason or another things don’t go according to plan but we now have the confidence and knowledge to adapt her day to ensure that she gets the sleep she needs. She is a happier, more content baby now, eating and playing well and we are better parents thanks to a good nights sleep!

 

I would highly recommend Lucy to anyone that has a baby that won’t sleep through the night. I used to dread going to bed myself as I knew it would only be a short time before I was back up settling A! Now even if she does wake for a moment she resettles herself instantly.

 

Thank you Lucy!
