Kind words from parents like you…

7 month old leo

‘We now have a 12 month old who sleeps through the night, has two day naps and happily goes off to sleep on his own.’

I was so nervous to start working with a ‘sleep consultant’, I was exhausted, my mental health was on a down hill slope and the thought of having to talk about sleep with someone and put in place systems was daunting. I actually put it off for a few weeks, unable to face it. But I knew we couldn’t continue the way we were.

Then I met Kristy, so kind from the first phone call. I knew I was going to be okay. I knew we would have to work hard, but that I would have the support I needed.

 My ultimate goal was two wakes a night for my then 7 month old and consistent day naps. That was the dream after months of multiple night wakes and terrible day sleeps. 

 Well after only a few weeks, we had no wakes overnight and day naps were also settling in. Our bubba was stubborn and we faced many hurdles, but Kristy was right there to support and reassure us the whole time. Helping us through the 3 to 2 nap transition was amazing. I might be back in touch for the 2 to 1 nap transition!

We now have a 12 month old who sleeps through the night, has two day naps and happily goes off to sleep on his own. I have my evening back to have some me time, or time with my partner. We have predictable nap times throughout the day which helps me to book activities like swimming lessons, get done what I need too and reduces my anxiety. 

I cannot recommend Kristy enough. She was an absolute support and feels like a friend now, as I may still send her the odd question.

My advice is get help, you don’t have to be sleep deprived and neither does your baby or toddler.

‘I am so pleased with the outcome of your sleep plan and I can not thank you enough.’

I wanted to give you an update on Primrose. She has now been sleeping all the way through most nights and if she does not she only wakes once for a couple of minutes! This is massive for us and all thanks to your help and guidance.

We have also reached the 7am wake up too so this is incredible! I am so pleased with the outcome of your sleep plan and I can not thank you enough.

I wish you all the best in finishing your training and I am sure you are going to be very successful in this field as I can say this has 100% worked for us

Thank you again, Shani x

‘Sleep training can be a very emotionally exhausting time, but Kristy was kind, gentle and supportive during our journey.’

My family and I reached out to Kristy when my son was just over 4 months old. He was waking hourly at night, feeding at every wake up, using a dummy and in no predictable routine during the day.

Within a few days of Kristy’s help, we began to see results. Now 4 weeks on, Cooper is only feeding 2-3 times per night and is now able to self settle for most other wake ups. We have ditched the dummy and now have a great day routine for his other naps, freeing me up to spend quality time with my older daughter.

Sleep training can be a very emotionally exhausting time, but Kristy was kind, gentle and supportive during our journey. She was always available to answer our questions and provide helpful real time advice. I can’t recommend Kristy enough.

‘I have gained more confidence in my approach towards sleep and do not second guess myself anymore.’

You have taught us a lot and got us into a nice flexible routine with more self settling than before and for that I am grateful. I have gained more confidence in my approach towards sleep and do not second guess myself anymore.

Thank you for your help and knowledge over the past two weeks with Halle’s sleep and routine. Much love and thanks.

6.5 MONTH OLD OWEN 

‘Kristy helped us through every step up the way and coached us with the right settling technique to help Owen to self settle.’

As a first time mum, I was having a tough time adjusting to having a newborn. The sleep deprivation had to be the worst. They say sleep when your baby sleeps, but that was never the case with Owen. From the get go, he would not go to sleep in his bassinet or cot at all during the day and would only contact sleep on me. During the night he was not too bad but relied on feeding to sleep . I thought over time this would get better but we hit the 6 month sleep regression and it only got worse both day and night . 

During the day he would be that overtired, I would try anything and everything just to get him to sleep! I could not move off the lounge as he would only sleep on me and during the night he would wake every 45 mins to 2 hours.  

Every day I got up completely exhausted from the night before and could barely function during the day as I was so tired. Eventually the rocking and patting to sleep that worked before, was no longer working.

Owen was constantly irritable and felt like I the worst mother in the world.

There was no predictability to his day and I felt terrible he was chronically overtired and not getting the sleep he needed (and neither were we!).

We decided to reach out to Kristy and within a few days she worked wonders, she was so patient, understanding and knowledgeable.

Kristy helped us through every step up the way and coached us with the right settling technique to help Owen to self settle.

Owen now self settles on his own in his cot during the day and night and sometimes sleeps all the way through or only wakes once at night.

I would highly recommend Kristy to everyone I know.

15 MONTH OLD RORY 

‘It was tough, but certainly has been a game-changer for us and I would highly recommend Kristy’s integrity and methods.’

Incredibly worthwhile; a game-changer!

Thanks to Kristy’s warmth, flexibility and support, our now 15-month old has a new (positive) relationship with sleep and his cot!

We reached out to Kristy when our son was around 13 months for 2 reasons, firstly because he was very resistant to sleep during the day (often no more than 20 mins, which lead to a very overtired baby and very overwhelmed parents!) and secondly, because he was becoming heavily reliant on being rocked to sleep.

It is important to us as a family that our son feels safe and loved each and every moment, and throughout this process with Kristy, she ensured that our son as the priority was paramount. She allowed us to go at our own pace, offered support and changes when the process got hard, helped us to better understand our son’s needs and cues, and ultimately, supported us all in making a positive change to our son’s routine.

He now goes to bed without rocking and with little fuss, settles himself happily until asleep, and although he certainly hasn’t miraculously become a day-sleep-legend, he will spend time quietly in his cot for over an hour each day, if not asleep, happily talking to himself which gives us as parents much needed down time! It was tough, but certainly has been a game-changer for us and I would highly recommend Kristy’s integrity and methods.

7 MONTH OLD BRIAR

‘I loved working with Kristy to reach our goals, and from the very first conversation she was very understanding and informative.’

Here is a picture of my little girl Briar after a good night’s sleep!

We are all feeling much better after seeking out Snug Bug Sleep Solutions. We have gone from waking up every 45 mins of a night with Briar to only two very brief night wakings where she has a feed and then self settles in her cot.

I loved working with Kristy to reach our goals, and from the very first conversation she was very understanding and informative. Kristy really knows her stuff and handled any questions or concerns I had straight away. 

In my experience, after four kids, it’s these tricky moments like with chronic sleep deprivation where you need a gentle and supportive guiding hand to help you through the parenting journey. I highly recommend this service to help you work through any problems you might have with your little one’s sleep. 

Thanks again Kristy! x

8 month old TWINS Grace & Emily

‘We cannot recommend Kristy enough.’

We are so impressed with the service we received from Kristy at Snug Bug Sleep Solutions.

The plan she provided for our girls was extremely comprehensive and we appreciated learning about the science behind how babies sleep. We received so much support during our 2 week implementation that it was almost impossible to fail!

Our girls went from no schedule, being cranky all the time and waking 5 - 6 times a night to being happy babies, waking once a night and having a predictable schedule that has changed our lives.

It is now possible for one of us to confidently look after the girls alone and we are able to enjoy being parents.

We cannot recommend Kristy enough.

‘Six months on and we are still sleeping 12 hours straight overnight.’

I was almost at my wit’s end with my son’s sleeping habits and knew something needed to change!

I rang Kristy and we immediately started working together. She helped me implement a routine and schedule that was dedicated to my son, suited his needs and was also age appropriate.

Six months on and we are still sleeping 12 hours straight overnight.

My husband calls Kristy the sleep whisperer for a good reason. If only she had some magic for teething too!

4 YEAR OLD EMILY

‘We are so thankful for Snug Bug Sleep Solutions’ help and would highly recommend Kristy.’

We are parents of 4 year old boy/girl twins and ever since our daughter was a baby we have struggled to develop a good sleep routine for her. She wakes almost every night and wants to sleep with us. My husband needs to be up for work very early so it’s really hard when we can’t all get a sound night’s sleep.

With Kristy’s guidance, we have been able to re-set our bedtime routine and introduce new strategies to help our daughter self-settle and encourage her to have more restful night’s sleep.

We know we couldn’t have done this without Kristy’s thorough research and personalised sleep plan for our daughter.

We are so thankful for Snug Bug Sleep Solutions’ help and would highly recommend Kristy to anyone who needs help with their children’s sleep behaviours.
