Hi mums,
I recently had a baby coach/sleep consultant come to help me get my baby to sleep at night and to deal with a whole load of other issues that I was struggling with due to becoming an overwhelmed mother of two under 2yrs!
She was fantastic, so great that I wrote a testimonial for her and thought I'd post it here too, with her contact details, so any other mums who are struggling know who they can turn to!
Her name is Heidi Skudder, heidi@theparentandbabycoach.com

3 months in and the witching hour was still lasting from 6pm – 1am every night. It was all so easy with our first baby: we read the books, followed the routine and she was down for the night at 7pm every night from 5 weeks old. We just couldn’t make it work with our second baby and couldn’t see an end to evenings taken up with crying and feeding until the small hours. Desperate to get our evenings back, we got in touch with Heidi. It was one of the best decisions we have ever made. In the 24 hours she spent with us she helped us to understand our baby and we had daytime naps and bedtime sorted. We couldn’t believe how much sleep our baby actually needed and were over the moon that after all that sleep in the day she was down for the night by 6.45pm! Heidi introduced a dream feed which worked wonders and not only was our baby asleep before 7pm but she also slept through the night. And we haven’t looked back since. Our ‘little mouse’ has gone to sleep before 7pm every night without fail since Heidi came and she pretty much sleeps the whole night through with a few blips here and there. We’re so proud of her, given that she started doing this when she was only 3 months old.
Heidi’s relaxed yet confident and reassuring manner worked wonders with both baby and me so that the whole process of starting a routine and introducing sleep training was positive, calm and enjoyable. It was such a pleasure to have Heidi in our home. She gave me the support and advice I so desperately needed and also gave me the confidence to believe that if I stuck to the plan my baby really would sleep – something I couldn’t imagine happening before. Heidi helped with so much more than just getting our baby to sleep – she coached me through the mystery of the bed/bath time routine for a toddler and baby and gave advice on bottle and breast feeding, teething and weaning. The month’s follow up support was invaluable and meant that any moments of anxiety when things didn’t go to plan were short lived and stumbling blocks were easily overcome. I cannot bear to think where we would be had Heidi not helped us. We are so grateful to her as she really gave us our lives back and enabled our baby to be the calm, well rested and happy baby that she wanted to be.
