The Sleep Method

Before meeting Cara, I had spoken to other sleep consultants for help with my 18 month old, and had been left feeling patronised and dejected. After my initial conversation with Cara, I actually felt hopeful that someone could help. She was friendly and had such a great approach, and tailored everything to what I would be comfortable trying and what I thought would work for my daughter. We've had such great results and I would definitely recommend. I can't thank her enough for my sleeping toddler and helping get some of my sanity back!

Prior to working with Cara, I had tried the help of two other sleep trainers. I had been quite scarred by the process and it just didnt work with myself or my baby and in fact backfired with her being more clingy and waking more often crying! I waited till she was 14 months old to try again. At this point she was sleeping in her cot in our room, waking 2-6 times a night and would only go back to sleep if I breastfed her. She took good day naps, but I was utterly exhausted! Cara tailored a program specifically to my baby, to her personality and also myself and our family. We worked together creating a very gentle and loving method that I felt 100% confident to follow! It was not sleep training in the previous way I had been taught. I also realised through this process I had much more of a gentle and attachment parenting style than I would have expected! Cara created for us a very gentle approach, there were no tears, from baby or mama. It was surprisingly easy to follow and my baby - whom I thought would never sleep on her own or without a lot of soothing or crying - actually enjoyed the process and took to it so well! In the first week she was sleeping through the night!! She would fall asleep, in her cot, in her nursery, which for us is groundbreaking as I was so used to having multiple wake ups, every night since she was born!! I was actually shocked, but also SO proud of my little girl, and so happy a friend had recommended Cara and Id been willing (and desperate) to contact her and try a sleep method again! My husband and I have a happy sleeping baby, actual evenings again, and our bedroom back to ourselves! Happy all round. When theres a hiccup with the inevitable teething etc that causes wake ups, we now have all the tools to get her back on track. I love the fact that Caras approach is tailored to our own life, not a text book version of what to follow. She also tracks everything we log in a shared app - which makes it easy for her to give feedback and tweak changes where she sees needed & also celebrate in the full nights of sleep when they start happening, because they will! Cara is such a lovely person too, anyone thats having sleep challenges I always recommend them to contact her. We are so so happy with the results and I certainly wont hesitate to start earlier if we have another baby.

My daughter was 8 months old when I decided to get support from a sleep consultant. She would only nap on me, couldn't self settle and was still waking 2/3 times in the night. Sleep deprivation and an endless google black hole had me really struggling to navigate my little ones sleep, full of anxiety and stressed. After my intial discovery call with Cara, I felt instantly more positive and completely at ease that I had done the right thing in seeking support from an expert. We purchased the Baby Sleep package and after listening to our issues, concerns and even my tears, Cara came up with a clear plan to work alongside our parenting style. She was thoughtful, informative and attentive throughout, so much so that I also purchased 2 follow up weeks after we moved house. My baby can now self settle, naps in her cot and sleeps through the night!!! I feel confident that I can continue to work on my baby's sleep going forward, but I would happily go back to Cara for advice and support if I needed it again in the future. I highly recommend Cara and The Sleep Method to anyone struggling with their baby's sleep.
