Thank you Phoebie!”
Just over a week ago, Archie was completely reliant on me for all naps and at nighttime (being fed to sleep), which included me resettling every time he woke during the night. If was in his cot, this could be every 30 mins, in our bed it was still multiple times overnight. In just over a week and just before his first birthday he’s now sleeping in his own room, in his cot, and not waking overnight needing to be breastfed to sleep.
There were definitely tears the first night, it was a big change for Archie and us, but every night/nap got easier. Now my husband can put him to bed without me being in the house and This is huge for our family ❤️ I’m also returning to work in March and this has reduced my concern with starting daycare, greatly.
With better sleep, comes a happier and hungrier baby too – he’s started eating more solids than I can provide and he’ll even happily sit in his pram and play while we’re out. Previously he wouldn’t last more than 5 minutes without me needing to carry him for the remainder of the trip.
If you’re in the position I was; hoping to return to work, looking for some time to yourself or wanting to share the sleep load, Phoebie will work wonders for your family. Our programme was completed via email and messenger communication and it couldn’t have been any easier.
Thank you Phoebie x”
My main issues with my son was he would only manage one sleep cycle at a time . His naps were all over the place and he had no predictable routine! I would have anxiety every night as I never knew what to expect . All I knew was I’d be up more than I slept as Jaime needed lots of nursing rocking and patting to get him too sleep. Jaime would also wake at 430 most days and I was truly exhausted. Jaime is 13 months old and i am pregnant with bub number 2 and was really struggling before I met Phoebe.
Phoebe really understood my struggles and made a plan which changed our lives. She helped me better understand wake windows and the impact of over tiredness and she helped me get my son to sleep without rocking and nursing .
My son now has a highly predictable routine and for both his naps and night sleep he can fall asleep without help from me. He has consolidated his naps incredibly well and his night sleep is amazing! No more nursing at night and if he wakes at night he wakes very little and can put himself back to sleep in minutes! We now start our days at 6-7am and bedtime is always between 6-7pm which is sooo much better as I have time in the morning to get ready in peace and at night me and hubby can spend time together something we haven’t been able to do in soo long!
I recommend this wonderful lady 100% she will change your life! She was with me every step of the way and helped me work my way through obstacles and gave me the tools I need to continue independently”
Night times were better as Esra would have 2, 1 or even 0 wake ups and would have to be fed back to sleep. If she woke up early in the night, it would take more than 30mins of rocking and we would know that there would be more wake ups to come. Esra is on the taller and heavier end of the charts and my back was suffering from all the rocking. Seeing the chiro on a weekly basis was not an ideal solution.
Phoebie and I first communicated over 3 weeks ago. I was given a questionaire to complete, and she immediately identified areas that can be rectified. In our instance, it was ensuring that the room was pitch black at EVERY nap. That immediately made a difference as Esra was able to sleep longer than 20mins 🙌 !
Once starting the routine Phoebie set out, the key was CONSISTENCY. We were consistent with our settling method, hence didn’t take long for Esra to self-settle (1-2 days). We were able to recognize the types of grizzles and cries; and Phoebie gave us the confidence to trust our gut and go with it. Now I just put her down for naps and she’s asleep within 15mins. Even if she grizzles in the middle of the night, most times she is able to self-settle. Now she has a 50/50 hit rate of sleeping through (or one wake up).
It’s been over 2 weeks since we first started and we haven’t looked back! She can sleep in her cot, car transfer was successful (that never happened), she’s even napped in other cots. I wish we sought out assistance for our 4 year old, who hit the 4 month regression and is only now sleeping through more regularly.
Phoebie is very understanding, caring and actively listens to your concerns, needs and desires. As she only wants the best for your bub and family, she will attain as much detail to gain a thorough picture of your current situation, and proceed from there. You’ll never feel alone as she keeps in regular contact with you through the whole process.
Thank you Phoebie for everything you’ve done to help Esra’s sleep routine!”
