Amazing support

In June 2022 we approached sleeping bunnies to help with our 4- month old‘s sleep. He was only having short, 20 minute max, daytime naps and waking every 2-3 hours in the night. We also did not have any routine and wanted to start implementing structure, improving daytime naps (as it was so frustrating never to rest) and of course achieve the holy grail…a full nights sleep. We worked with Rosy who is incredibllllle; so helpful, responsive and supportive. During this postpartum period with my first child having her support was really invaluable and made me feel like things were on the up and I was in control of our days again. With Rosy‘s help we implemented wake windows and started working on self settling and naps in his cot. His daytime sleep improved very quickly and we were soon having 4 longer naps in his own cot! We also implemented a bedtime routine and reclaimed our evenings. Rosy was super flexible and we ended up working together on and off for about 3 months, taking breaks when our son was ill and we couldn’t Work on his sleep. His night time sleep was tougher, as he was using a pacifier and relied on milk to fall back asleep. We decided we weren‘t ready to remove his pacifier and nighttime milk just yet, so took a break with sleep training at the 6 month mark. The amazing daytime naps and bedtime were enough for the time being! When our son was 9 months old we reached back out to Rosy and provided an updated sleep diary. We then followed her advice and removed the pacifier, reduced naps to 2 and weaned off night time milk, resulting in…full nights sleep! Now at the 11 month mark we still use the exact bedtime routine, have had 2 months of full nights and can always rely on him to self settle! We have absolutely loved working with Rosy and sleeping bunnies and will 100% be coming back with questions or a next baby! Thank you so much!
