Caroline the Sleep Consultant

Caroline was fantastic. She provided us with great support with our baby, and has been available ever since to answer questions. A real godsend for new parents.

Our daughter had always co-slept with us which was not ideal, but we managed due to her being an only child. She still needs someone in the room with her when she falls asleep but can then be left on her own until she wakes in the early hours. But, once my son came along things got a lot trickier, he would only co-sleep with me which is very hard to manage whilst looking after a toddler. My daughter had to be very quiet whilst he napped on me in the living room which was miserable for everyone.. he would keep waking up, and my daughter would get upset because she had to play quietly and I was exhausted. His schedule was all over the place and my attempts to try and get him to self-soothe had failed. He seemed to be an unhappy baby, crying every time I tried to get him down to sleep and his feeds were unpredictable and would only take small amounts.I rang Caroline, having made the decision that something needed to change, and sleep training seemed the better option than my kids having an exhausted and ratty mum who was trying to co-sleep with them. Caroline stayed for two nights and it was the best decision we made. Our son was asleep in his cot after twenty minutes on the first night. I’m a huge worrier and Caroline put me at ease throughout the whole process. She set up a schedule for him which included a weaning schedule and since then he is a different baby. He is so much happier, well-rested, well-fed baby and my little girl gets here one on one time with mum whilst he naps. My son doesn’t use a dummy and has a blanket to self-soothe and has now been a few weeks. I know if we have a few bumps along the road I can speak to Caroline, and she will give me the confidence I need to help them.As a person who was unsure whether sleep training was right for my kids, I can honestly say they are much happier. My son is down by 7pm and my daughter is asleep by 7.30pm. As they say… happy mum, happy baby.

We cannot recommend Caroline highly enough.We have a two year old and a four year old and both used to regularly wake up throughout the night and wouldn’t let us leave them on their own. We have had broken, awful sleep for years and rarely got an evening to ourselves.After a particularly bad night I engaged with Caroline and booked her to come and stay for three nights. Inviting someone you don’t know into your home can be strange however we found her extremely personable, understanding and empathetic to our position. The advice even started flowing before she arrived.Caroline put in place a plan for the first night and we got to it. We wanted to be involved so we could learn so Caroline sat on the stairs and guided us through bed time and the evenings. For the first time ever both kids stayed in their rooms all night. By the second our four year old was sleeping through, by the third our two year old. Amazing.The result will change our lives and my only regret is not calling her sooner!! You don’t have to keep going around in circles doing it on your own and she’s worth every penny!!

We had previously tried sleep training our daughter on our own when she was six months old and failed. Out of desperation we asked Caroline for help now at the age of 20 months. Our LO was waking up every hour to two hours at night, was dependent on breast feeding and spent lot of time in our bed. None of us got good quality sleep for long time. It’s hard to fathom that all this changed in couple of nights. Caroline made key changes to our routine and guided us through training the LO to fall asleep on her own. Her experience ensured that we did not make the same mistakes as we had done previously. First night our daughter slept for 10 hours with one wake up, second night 11.5 hours and has been sleeping through the night since. Highly recommended and outstanding service.

It's been about 6 months now since calling Caroline, and I can safely say it was a very good decision. Caroline stayed with us for 2 nights. Since then our little ones have mostly slept through the night, and when they don't we have a plan ready to go. I wouldn't hesitate to give Caroline a call and book. Thanks again Caroline! Ben and El.

Caroline came to see us to help with our second child, who was 14 months old. Our daughter had a good routine, she could self settle for her daytime naps and could also fall asleep without any assistance in the night. The issue that we had was that she was still waking up multiple times in the night and I would need to feed her back to sleep. Our first daughter didn’t sleep through the night until she was 22 months old, and we didn’t want to repeat this, if we could help it.Caroline fitted in to our bedtime routine without any issue, she asked us questions we could easily answer whilst doing the routine. Even though both Caroline and ourselves agreed that there was good structure in place and our daughter could self-settle, she still managed to came up with some adjustments. Since she came to visit us we haven’t needed to go into her room to feed her back to sleep and we’ve only had a handful of times where we have we needed to help settle her back to sleep using other methods. Caroline has helped break the cycle and we’re so grateful to her.We feel we are well prepared and know how to respond, which is working well. She is waking up a little early but we are in the process of dropping a day nap so I think this will easily and swiftly sort itself. Thanks Caroline - we can highly recommend.

Caroline is without a doubt the best in the business. Inviting someone into your home is quite a big thing but Caroline put us at ease straight away, she’s incredibly sweet and caring (not how I imagined a professional sleep expert to be) and we felt as though we had known her forever. She didn’t make us feel pressured or nervous, she reassured us and put us at ease. Caroline helped us understand where we may be going wrong and how to fix the issues with her help. She still regularly messages me now to see how we all are and is always there to offer further advice or guidance if we need it. Caroline gave me the first full night of sleep I’d had in years and sorted me into a super routine. I contacted Caroline for help after having my fourth child keep me awake for well over a year…I only wish I had done it sooner….with child numbers 1, 2 and 3 too. I’d read endless books over the years and bought into peoples online advice and even been on a local sleep course so felt like I knew it all already. Caroline gave me more than any of those things…she gave me the confidence to know I was doing the right thing. Thank you Caroline. Our Son now sleeps through the night 7pm-6am and goes down for naps without any tears. He’s happy and content during the daytime too, all because he’s well rested. Couldn’t have done it without you Caroline

My third baby is now 7 months old and I had no hesitation in contacting Caroline after she successfully helped me with my second baby 4 years ago. We had a consultation by phone and she explained what had been going wrong with my own sleep training and gave me the confidence to stay strong and do what needed to be done. After just one night, we had eradicated all of our bad sleep habits and our baby has slept consistently from 7pm-6,30am with two good naps during the day.I can’t recommend Caroline enough. She is extremely knowledgable and, even from afar via zoom, can sprinkle some kind of magic dust over your family that gives you the confidence to follow through and stay consistent. She is very friendly and approachable and always available to answer questions or give you a virtual high five. Having a regular nap schedule and the confidence that our baby will sleep through until the next morning is life changing; we’re already planning our baby free date nights! Thank you so much Caroline!

My 17month old daughter used to wake up crying several times during the night and would take hours of rocking / patting to fall back asleep. We would wait with her until she fell asleep and as soon as we left her she would wake right back up.All this changed once Caroline came, she now falls asleep by herself for both her nap and nighttime sleep and when she wakes in the middle of night she self settles.Sorting out my daughters sleeping habits has also had a positive influence in other areas of her life, she is a happier and more settled child.Caroline is amazing, the aftercare she provides is outstanding as I could text her at any time (day or night) when I had a concern. I would highly recommend her services.

We used Caroline's sleep consultant services for two nights. Caroline was absolutely fantastic, providing a personal, friendly and approachable service. We were a little apprehensive that sleep coaching might be a 'one size fits all approach' but Caroline quashed any doubts by understanding us as individuals and providing guidance that fitted. Caroline's friendly and kind natured approach put our minds at ease, and it was clear Caroline goes the extra yard for her clients by making suggestions she had thought of out of hours. Thank you Caroline.
