Archie and Cat’s Sleep Journey.

Archer’s family were in the trenches well before we started support, patiently waiting until he was 4 months old for these changes. He was having to be held most of the night as feeding him to sleep and transferring him into his bassinet or even co-sleeping was no longer working. He would only last 10 to 20 minutes before he was awake again, waking nine or more times during the night.

His day naps were also contact naps after feeding to sleep, as he would still refuse his bassinet and cot. He was also starting to rely more and more on his dummy. Arch needed to transition out of his swaddle, which was another battle. Mum said, “I just can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel for when he will be out of it.”

This journey wasn’t smooth sailing. We were making significant changes to reach their goals. We stuck closely to an age-appropriate routine and got lots of sleep, whether it was in the cot, out in the front pack, or on mum. It all helped us move forward. The dummy was gone and Archie found a love for using his hands. Mum worked incredibly hard to help him learn his new skills. Change is hard for everyone. But when I say “be consistent and you’ll see progress,” his mum sure did. She stuck to the plan through all the challenges. She saw the wins and kept at it.

Archie continues smashing his goals even after our support period finished, he’s now consistently managing a 2-hour lunchtime nap!

“Hannah changed our lives in the space of 2 weeks. She was so empathetic and really took the time to dive into all aspects of what was working and what wasn’t for our little family. Our 4 month old was co-sleeping, waking up to 9 times a night, being held to sleep overnight, and contact napping all day without any predictable routine which was becoming really taxing on us.

Hannah was confident that we would see change with her help and boy did we!! I couldn’t have pictured 2 weeks later, my little boy sleeps in a cot in his own room now, self settles to sleep, has a predictable routine and is the happiest wee boy ever!

This was one of the best investments I have made and the experience working with Hannah was incredible. It’s one thing to have a sleep plan, but having to implement it can be really tough, and on the hard days, Hannah always reminded me of the progress and supported me daily, and was the only reason I kept going, because I trusted her, and now we are seeing the results!

Thank you Hannah, we are eternally grateful for you! 🥺”
