I have taken a long time to write this review after some reflection & also along with my own research into 'sleep training'. This is my reflection as a first time parent on this. I recommend reading, The Book I wish my Parents had read on attachment theory & impact this has on babies.Firstly, this is not a gentle approach & involves crying. Crying it out (Nope), Crying for a period of time (absolutely).Firstly, I would say if you if you haven't done any research into white noise, wake windows, sleep cycles, black out blinds, sleep associations & are a complete novice to infant sleep then sure they can offer you support on that which you might find valuable. This information can easily be found on Instagram through research etc.Feels like a Cookie Cutter Approach: If you have again done your own research you can find a bog standard routine for your child according to their child's age a lot cheaper elsewhere. Huckleberry, Just Chill Mama for example. Sleeping Bunnies will offer you 'moral support' with some voice notes, saying you can do it, stick with it.. whilst your child cries :(.Holistic Approach: Absolutely not true (from my experience), this does not take into account sickness, allergies, reflux, temperament, possible oral dysfunction, tongue ties, tension etc. They do ask but definitely do not take this into account. Is it not important to understand 'why' your baby is crying at night, rather than to let them cry & eventually fall to sleep? Personally, you need to get to the root of the cause.If you want a real holistic & responsive approach, The Fox, Moon & The Sleep & Care it Out & other companies have a more responsive style which I regret not paying for instead. My Health Visitor has offered to support for free with a more gradual approach. So also worth checking in with your HV.If your child is laid back & a dream at night, then sure this might be the approach for you. If you are happy listening to your baby cry & are that desperate, then this may work for you. Personally this was one of the lowest points of my parenting journey so far & fills me with regret. Unfortunately, I got sucked into Instagram influencers who they work for (who they seem to gift services too or be friends with). Eek, more fool me! Don't feel pressure to sleep train as everyone seems to be doing it. Co-sleep safely, feed to sleep, feed your baby in the night, cuddle them- If it works for you, don't stop because someone says oh by this age, they should not be doing that! You know your child best!
