Ok, here goes… my story of our experience with the best baby sleep consultant in AU. Our little girl (3.5yo) was the worst of sleepers. She would not sleep unless one of the parents or her sister was with her, even then she would still wake up crying 3-4 times a night until eventually she would end up in our bed (3-4am). It also took 1-1.5 hours for her bedtime routine from showering to sleeping every night, which would take one of us out for that whole time, making every night a mission.
After researching on YouTube, reading blogs, and just wishing things would be better, we tried various techniques to have her settle faster, by herself, without tears, without headlocks, or without protesting, but she kept just ending up in our bed either out of exhaustion and/or just not knowing if we were doing the right thing. In comes, Mary Poppins (Jen) floating down with her umbrella.
After our initial consultation with this incredible baby sleep consultant in AU, we knew straight away we were in the right place, but we still could not imagine our little girl settling by herself. It all seemed like such an impossible task. Jen gave us a detailed structure of what to expect and gave us strict instructions on what to do and how long it would take. I geared myself up and went to war. The first few nights went surprisingly well, then the next stage was absolutely brutal, enough to make a grown man cry. It was the moment when Neo got shot by Agent Smith in The Matrix before he reached the phone. We all thought it was game over.
Morpheus Jen assured us that this was absolutely normal otherwise we would have raised the white flag after the first night of ‘regression’. She was right. It took a few more nights of battling in the trenches, but with Jen’s guidance, we eventually made our way out, and like Neo, we rose from the dead and were all of a sudden freed to the other side. Fast forward to 3 weeks, and our little girl is now going to sleep by herself (I can just say goodnight and walk out of the room), and when she wakes at night, she settles herself without us even getting out of bed! This is the dream.
Thank you so much, Jen, and we recommend your services 100%. To anyone who is on the fence, do yourself a favour and get your time and sleep back. Hire Jen as your baby sleep consultant in AU—it’s worth every cent.
