How can I make a difference to your family?
Lucy’s great ideas and a completely non judgmental approach is so welcoming, especially when sleep deprived.
She is extremely calm and patient which in turn allows you to tackle sleep issues in a calmer approach too.
Mummy to a two year old
“We have been delighted with the service provided by Lucy in helping our 1 year old develop a healthy sleeping pattern. Before we found Lucy, we had a little one who couldn’t fall asleep without by cuddled, would wake up when being put down in his cot and who would wake every 1-2 hours during the night. It feels like a miracle to now be able to put our son down in his cot whilst awake, leave the room, have him fall asleep on his own and then sleep through the night! Lucy was incredibly supportive, flexible and reassuring throughout the process and we cannot thank her enough!”
Mummy and Daddy (to a 12 month old)
We reached out to Lucy when we were massively sleep deprived and at the end of our tether.. we had 0 confidence it would work but after saying we needed to do something every night all night for a good 3 months.. we finally reached out.. Lucy was super informative, confident and patient.. we learned a lot which helped when putting the plan into practice and low and behold it worked! We had all our consultations and interactions virtually or by phone and this was very convenient for us. Lucy was always available for my 101 questions or concerns and never made me think I was crazy for thinking or asking anything :) Our little one got sick during the process and Lucy guided us through it and extended with no problem until we were confident to move onto the next steps. We honestly cannot thank Lucy enough for everything!
Mummy and Daddy (to a 17 month old)
We can not recommend Little Dreams and Lucy enough- I was nervous about sleep training as it was important to me to be responsive and give my baby what he needed when he needed it. However, night wakings had become upsetting and unsustainable and our family became very broken.
Lucy was brilliant at reframing our situation and giving me an understanding of our situation and how we can support a change to give our little one the skills to be a content-independent sleeper.
She was so friendly, sympathetic and knowledgeable; always available to talk and provide support. It was important to me that she was a mum and advocated the importance of being a responsive parent and getting out and about to socialise with other mums and babies. She has given me the tools to manage this.
Our families' lives have transformed and we are all much happier as a result. Thank you.

We are a Nursery setting based in Colchester and we contacted Lucy from “ Little Dreams Consulting “ to see if she could offer us any training . Parents often ask us for guidance when it comes to their children’s sleeping and napping routines and we thought we could do with a refresher course to update our knowledge and offer parents the most up to date professional advice.
Lucy was so knowledgeable especially about the science and importance of establishing and promoting good sleep practices . Lucy explained to us that Sleep is the time that the body recharges and energy is restored and that important brain development takes place.
I would thoroughly recommend Lucy and the consultancy to any sleep deprived parent , or indeed anyone hoping to achieve a more relaxed and better sleep pattern for their children and themselves
Wivenhoe Park Day Nursery
After having older children you’d think I’d have all the experience needed for my younger children, but I found myself with a little girl who refused to sleep in her own room, not wanting to go to bed until around midnight and I had tried everything I knew of, read books, watched countless hours of tips and tricks and nothing I did had any long lasting results, I was exhausted! As a last ditch attempt of us finally getting some sleep I contacted Lucy, within a few weeks, my daughter now goes to bed easily, I can leave her to fall asleep without me and she will sleep all night from a much better time for us all, it’s nothing short of a miracle, working with Lucy has been an absolute pleasure, she is very knowledgeable, patient and understanding and kept me going right the way through, especially during the tougher times. If you’re struggling to get your family to sleep then don’t hesitate, Lucy is amazing at her job and I shall feel eternally grateful for all her help and support x

Without you I really don’t know how we would’ve gotten through and understood Oscar’s needs when it comes to his sleep. Having your calm and professional approach has been exactly what we needed to give us the confidence to get his routine in place and trust ourselves as well as understand his cues.
I feel so much closer to Oscar as I feel a deeper understanding of what he needs and now we’re all getting the rest we need we’re all so much happier and have energy to really enjoy the days. I cannot express how amazing Lucy has been and cannot thank you enough, from the bottom of our hearts x

Oscar's parents
I approached Lucy for a free 15 min call after we had few months of our daughters sleep gradually getting worse. With 5 or 6 wakes a night sometimes, and then only being able to get her back to sleep by breastfeeding her. We were really struggling! Lucy was so sympathetic, understanding and able to explain what the next steps would be on trying to improve her sleep (and ours!). I knew after talking with Lucy we just had to sign up with her! And we are so glad we did!
Lucy helped us with a solid routine for naps and bedtime which we didn’t really have before, she supported us daily and was always free for a phone call when we needed some extra help! Lucy’s knowledge and experience meant that if something wasn’t working too well she knew what we should try next. Anyway… fast forward 2 weeks later + a holiday.
We now have an amazing little independent sleeper who no longer needs to be fed to sleep and usually wakes just once a night for a feed! We can’t thank Lucy enough for helping us get to this point! We are all benefiting so much from the extra sleep! Thank you Lucy!

Emily and Matilda
Lucy has completely changed our lives. We went from having a 20 month old who has never slept independently, awake multiple times every hour, with 5am wake times, to him now sleeping through the night happily in his own room. I really thought our son was just one of these babies who would never sleep, he was so reliant on us at night and I had very little confidence that he could do it. Lucy took the time to very carefully listen to what makes him “tick”, and provided a bespoke plan for us to follow, along with guidance every day. With a few small tweaks, the results are unbelievable. I had also previously done a lot of research myself and thought we had everything correct. However with these small changes it has truly changed everything - we were in shock even after night one. If our son can do it, anyone’s can! Lucy is so kind, patient and truly understands how difficult it can be. She made sure to work with us until we had the confidence to continue alone. I genuinely never thought things could be this great within a matter of weeks. It truly is the best money we’ve ever spent to get our sleep back. Priceless! I HIGHLY recommend. Thank you so much Lucy.
Jess & George (Rory's parents)
We came to Lucy feeling completely exhausted, with our daughter unable to sleep more than 40 minutes at a time. Her approach was incredibly encouraging and understanding from the very first conversation. She never made us feel judged, just supported every step of the way. Our daughter now sleeps through the night and our whole family feels like ourselves again. We cannot recommend Lucy enough.
Chloe, baby Phoebe's mummy
Lucy has supported us over the last two weeks in helping our baby learn to self-settle and sleep through the night—something we never thought would be possible. With gentle reassurance and Lucy’s amazing support, positivity, and confidence, we now have an even happier little boy who goes down for naps and bedtime so easily.
Bedtimes are no longer something we dread, and we’re no longer driving around just to get him to nap! The process has made us feel so much more confident in Jude, and we’re incredibly proud of both him and ourselves for all the work we’ve put in.
Thank you, Lucy, for your constant support.

Kirsty and Jude
When we contracted Lucy we were at a complete loss of what to do to help our little one sleep. He had always been a terrible sleeper but following the 4 month sleep regression we were back to wakings every 1-2 hours throughout the night, terrible naps during the day, and a major drop in the amount of food he would take. Lucy was reassuring from the moment I contacted her that this situation could not only be improved but completely changed. Within 2 weeks Lucy had not only helped us improve our son’s sleep, but had helped us navigate challenges such as teething, illness and travel.
I cannot thank Lucy enough for helping us get our lives back, and I would thoroughly recommend her help to any parents who are struggling with their little ones sleep.

Rebecca and Conrad (7 month old)
We reached out to Lucy after a 5 week sleep regression left us completely sleep deprived and second guessing what to do to get back on track. After the first night of following Lucy's sleep plan, we couldn't believe our luck when our 7 month old slept right through the night for the first time ever!
She can now go to sleep by herself and goes through the night, getting herself back off to sleep if she ever wakes. Her new ability to self-soothe and Lucy's advice around wake windows really helped us to get those longer cot naps we thought would never come! Lucy was so friendly, reassuring and on hand to answer any problems or queries we had each day, including navigating the transition to a 2 nap day and travelling away with our little one. She really helped build back up the confidence we'd lost.
Lucy's help has been life changing - our little one is finally getting the good quality restorative sleep she needs to be happy and healthy, and we are too!

From our first conversation with Lucy, I felt reassured and confident that she could help us. Lucy has changed our lives and saved our sanity. We were co-sleeping, waking every hour, and an all round exhausted family who were desperate for help.
With Lucy's support and guidance we now have a happy independent sleeper, and we are all far more rested! When I first spoke to Lucy I said I thought we were beyond help, I really never thought we'd be where we are now. Lucy, we can't thank you enough, you're incredible at what you do. We couldn't have done this without you! I highly recommend Lucy to anyone who needs some help with sleep. If you're in two minds, have a chat with Lucy and she will fill you with confidence!

Happy mummy
When we met Lucy we had tried all other methods to put our LO to sleep, including online guides, advice from other parents, support from local health services and the doctors. Our LO was not able to sleep without lots of support from us and we spent most of our nights awake, rocking and comforting her to sleep and failing at doing this for more than 3/4 hours - we were really struggling.
Lucy is an amazing child sleep consultant with lots of empathy and experience with child sleep issues. She’s a fantastic listener and 100% non- judgmental. Lucy worked really closely with us from the minute we met her and hand held us through the entire process. We would not hesitate in recommending Lucy to any parent dealing with sleep deprivation. Thanks to Lucy we can now enjoy a more ‘normal’ family life with our LO developing beautifully on 12 hours of sleep. More importantly independent sleep - great skill for her future.
Thanks Lucy - we would not be here without you. Forever grateful.

Lucy has been an invaluable support to our family. We’ve worked with her through both our little ones sleep journeys and have two very happy and content sleepers. She was 100% committed to our family and supporting us to fit into our needs and always made herself available. We are enjoying being more confident and having a lot more sleep! Thank you
Anna & baby Rex
Thank you Lucy for your invaluable advice and support for the last few weeks!
After an initial call, we had a plan put in place to help our daughter transition to her own room instead of co-sleeping most of the night, be able to nap in her cot instead of on me for only 30 minutes at a time and to help her fall asleep by herself without a feed, song or rocking and the change was almost instant!
From the first night, our daughter slept through the night for the first time in her own cot without needing to come into our bed or needing a feed. It did take a few days to nail the bedtime routine but I can now put her down in her cot and walk out of the room and she’s not upset or stressed and will usually be asleep within 10 minutes, if not sooner!
She can be put down for a nap during the day and she’ll happily sleep between 1 hour - 1 and a half hours and I’ve been able to have some of my own time back which has been so liberating, even if it is just loading the dishwasher and doing a load of washing :) I could not recommend more, so pleased we took the decision to bring Lucy in when we did!

Samantha and Daisy Thomas
Lucy is absolutely amazing! In just 2 weeks she has transformed the sleep of our 2.5 year old.
Before approaching Lucy, our son was relying on us to cuddle him to sleep, he was waking every night and ending up in our bed which wasn't ideal for any of us. From my first chat with Lucy I knew she could help. She is friendly, knowledgeable, professional, positive and perhaps most importantly non-judgemental. She took the time to get to know us and what we wanted to achieve from working with her and then designed a bespoke plan for our son and his needs. She was in daily contact with us for the 2 weeks that we followed the plan, offering support, advice or answering any questions that we had.
We started seeing really positive changes in our son's sleep from day 3 of the plan which continued to improve each day and by night 7 he was sleeping through the night - something we hadn't experienced for months! After 2 weeks of following Lucy's plan we now have a little boy who happily settles himself in his cot and sleeps through the night. We are all so much more rested and happier and honestly can't thank or recommend Lucy enough. Lucy was so knowledgeable especially about the science and importance of establishing and promoting good sleep practices . Lucy explained to us that Sleep is the time that the body recharges and energy is restored and that important brain development takes place.

Working with Lucy has been such a positive experience. She was supportive, patient, and highly knowledgeable. Lucy took the time to understand our situation, she then created a personalised plan and the results have been life changing!
Our 10 month old daughter went from sleeping in our bed every night and waking every two hours to having a solid daytime routine and sleeping through the night - something we didn’t think would be possible! 🌙 ✨
Lucy’s approach also helped me gently reduce night time feeds while continuing my breastfeeding journey, which has meant so much to me ❤️
We are so grateful to Lucy for all her help, thank you! 🙏🏻

Working with Lucy has been absolutely wonderful. I was convinced my 10-month-old would never sleep through the night, but Lucy is truly magical! When I first reached out, my son was waking every 40 minutes to an hour, refusing his second nap, and could only fall asleep while being held. I was completely exhausted.
Within just two days of following Lucy’s guidance, I saw a huge improvement — and by the end of the first week, it was like I had a whole new baby who was sleeping through the night. It’s been genuinely life-changing for our whole family. I can’t thank Lucy enough!

We’re over the moon with the huge difference we’ve seen in Freddie’s sleep! In just over 2 weeks he’s gone from waking 10-20 times a night (including 4 feeds) to waking only twice a night for 2 quick feeds. At bedtime he puts himself to sleep without any issues and he has lovely long independent naps in the day.
Lucy was a joy to work with, she really took the time to get to know us and the issues we were facing and she put together a tailored 2 week plan that was really simple to follow. We started seeing results on night 2! Lucy was so supportive and held our hands the whole way through, answering any questions and concerns we had. I can’t believe we now have a great little sleeper at 5 months old and I’m confident that we now have the knowledge and tools to ensure that he continues to sleep well and sail through any future hurdles (regressions, illness etc).
Sleeping well has made such a difference to our family, I’m now a happy and present Mummy and Freddie is a content little boy who is a joy to be around.

Amber and Freddie (5 months)
I can’t believe I’m writing a testimonial because I genuinely didn’t believe my 13m daughter would ever be able to fall asleep on her own. For 5 months we’ve needed to rock her off to sleep at bedtime and all naps, which I was prepared to do, until one day it didn’t work any more and sleep became all-consuming. We now have a lovely bedtime routine, we pop her in the cot and walk away, and she sleeps for 12 hours with rarely any night wakes. It is a dream scenario that I never thought we’d get to enjoy, and it’s all thanks to the support we had from Lucy from start to finish. She gave us the confidence to stick to the plan, and within 2 days we had seen real results. I cannot thank Lucy enough.
Maeve
We can’t thank Lucy enough for the positive changes we have seen in our little one’s sleep but also our parenting lifestyle. We went from contact naps, up frequently in the early hours and a horrible bedtime routine, to a child who is now confident at self-settling and will only wake us for his feed. Lucy’s calm and reassuring nature was the support we needed. We shouldn’t have been so surprised to see changes within only a few days! It has completely changed our parenting experience and we now look forward to bedtime routine, we have time to ourselves as parents and most importantly, all get much better sleep. Thank you.
Mummy and Daddy to an 8 month old
We have had an amazing experience with Lucy and are so grateful to her. Lucy is so knowledgeable and informative and she is always available to give support. We now have a baby who sleeps independently through the night in her cot which we didn’t think would ever happen. We highly recommend Lucy and going with her was the best decision we could have made.
Sarah and Andrew
Our 11 month old baby was only able to fall asleep breastfeeding and then the transition to a cot was simply impossible so we ended up co- sleeping but that was becoming more and more dangerous as he was getting more mobile and was easily rolling off the bed. For daytime naps it was even more difficult and most times he would only sleep in the pram out for a walk or in the house rocked back and forwards. We really needed him to accept the cot.
We were really skeptical going into this as never pictured our baby going to fall asleep other than breastfeeding but have read so many wonderful reviews about Lucy, as skeptical as we were , we thought we’d give it a try and so glad we made the decision to ask for her help, Lucy did wonders. It didn’t even take the full 2 weeks of the programme for us to see the results, we were simply in shock when for the first time ever we managed to put the baby awake into the cot and he put his head down and went to sleep on his own.
Lucy was really patient with us and kept in touch with us every single day, gave us advice for every nap and bedtime and we have really seen the results, better than we have ever imagined. Baby is now 12 months old, he’s never missed a nap since we’ve done Lucy’s programme and always goes to sleep on his own in his cot. We couldn’t be happier and couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you so much Lucy! Andreea and John

Lucy really was fantastic in turning sleep around for our little one. She immediately gave us the confidence to know that things could change, and the outside view on what we were doing, was fascinating, and now seems obvious! Lucy was so supportive, I can’t thank her enough.
Well rested mummy
I can not thank Lucy enough for her help. For anyone contemplating getting help, pick Lucy, you will not regret it. The support you receive is incredible. Thank you again Lucy
Mummy
For anyone contemplating hiring Lucy as their Sleep Consultant - do it! I contemplated for a couple of months and wasn’t sure I could justify the cost. But in the end it was worth every penny and I haven’t looked back since.
Sleep is so important and thanks to Lucy’s experience and support, all our lives have been transformed for the better! My Partner and I can function better, parent better and work better too and my Baby is also so much happier during the daytime too. She also had a delay in her speech prior to starting on a sleep plan with Lucy but 2 weeks later the plan is over and she is sleeping independently through the night, every night and we have noticed a marked improvement in her speech as a result too. Thank you Lucy, you really are fantastic at what you do.

Lucy is a miracle worker. I can’t believe how much she has changed our lives. I thought this might work for other children but not mine!
Annie was waking up every couple of hours and wouldn’t settle without nursing and now she sleeps thought the night.
Lucy filled me with confidence right away and was so supportive I felt I could ask her anything.
Our lives are so much better, we are all happier. I am enjoying my days more rather than counting down to sleep.
Thank you so much.
Catherine
It was a big step to contact Lucy and admit that I needed support with my son's sleep. I felt like a failure and wasn't convinced that anything could 'fix' it. From the very first conversation Lucy was kind and supportive. She reasured me that I wasn't alone and that this wasn't my fault and I hadn't done anything wrong.
The plan that she gave me felt really bespoke and took into consideration everything that I had told her. I was amazed how often Lucy took the time to check in with me and make sure I was OK. More importantly, I felt that Lucy just 'got it' and understood what I was looking for- better sleep for all of us!
The 2 weeks of support honestly just flew by and I really enjoyed completing the programme. I know that I can come back to Lucy in the future if I need to, but I feel really empowered to better manage my son's sleep needs now. Lucy is so kind, supportive and reassuring. She is an absolute professional and totally knows her stuff! I would never hesitate to recommend her to anyone. She honestly changed everything for us. Thank you so much Lucy!

Laura
Lucy goes above and beyond in every way. Our daughter went from only feeding to sleep, struggling with false starts, waking 6-8 times a night, 4.30am starts and not even settling with co-sleeping, to a little girl that settles herself to sleep every night, sleeps through the night (or self settles if she does stir) and wakes at a predictable 5.30/6am. Even when poorly or teething!
Working with Lucy was incredible for more reasons than the above mentioned improvements though. She is so very knowledgeable, compassionate and supportive. Removing the pressure of making sleep decisions and learning on the go was a huge weight off for me. Our daughter is a strong willed little thing and Lucy stuck with us through every bump, never pressuring us to conclude her help and reassuring us constantly that she would be around as long as we needed.
I cannot recommend Lucy enough. She has given us our sleep back but also improved our mental health, our understanding of sleep, allowed us to be better parents and so much more!

Lucy is amazing at what she does and very patient, she also looks at every child’s individual needs which not all sleeping training does, we can’t thank her enough.

I can’t thank Lucy enough for the huge positive impact she has had on our family . From the initial chat after a baby sensory class where you clearly picked up that we were all feeling quite broken, helped by a screaming Bodhi at the time, you were so kind with even your initial advice and suggested I book a free 15 minute call to chat again.
Going from Bodhi waking up every 20/30 minutes constantly through the night, not settling and being awake for hours at a time, the change to now is unrecognisable. He knows his bedtime routine and will lie down awake and within 10 minutes he is usually fast asleep. He also sleeps from around 8pm - 6am which was only ever a distant dream!! Due to our long working days Lucy adapted our plan to suit our timings and gave advice on how to ensure Bodhi wasn’t over tired. This took a huge amount of pressure off as I was already feeling incredibly guilty for not following the instagram/book standard of putting your baby down to sleep at 6.30/7pm which simply wasn’t possible when working and commuting.
Your continued support meant so much especially with so many nursery bugs. The two week plan went out the window and you provided continuous support for a couple of months which was invaluable. The little things like creating a video for our 4 year old to help him feel included in the process was a great idea . I would have no hesitation to recommend Lucy for any sleep support, I wish we had met you sooner!!

Lucy absolutely changed our lives! Our little bundle of joy didn’t sleep well for months with regular feeds all throughout the night and inconsistent napping - needless to say we were struggling a lot and didn’t think things would get better. We spoke to Lucy and within a matter of days she visited our house and we started sleep training. We were amazed at how quickly her thorough and detailed plan worked. He now sleeps through the night (with no feeds) and naps beautifully almost every day. We felt so supported by Lucy with every step and loved that she made us a transition plan for when he gets older and schedules will change. We can’t thank her enough!

Lucy's help and support has been just amazing! Before we started our little one (7m) was waking throughout the night for feeds every 45mins-2 hours and struggling to nap in the day. She's now sleeping through the night without any feeds and goes into her cot smiling for every nap. She's so much more content and relaxed, as are mum and dad! I can't thank Lucy enough and highly recommend her to anyone who's struggling with their little ones sleep.

Myself and Ian are beyond happy with how the last couple of weeks have gone. I honestly did not think it would go as well as it has or that we would get the results we have got with Isobel sleeping in her cot for her day time naps and also going through the night, it all started to happen after just a couple of days.
After 9 months of broken sleep and co sleeping to now have a decent nights sleep is life changing for me! Also to get some me time back in the day as Isobel is no longer contact napping means I can concentrate on spending quality time with Isobel when she is awake.
Your support has been fantastic too so thank you, it's been quite an emotional change for me so it has been reassuring to know you will answer any questions promptly over email or you are at the other end of the phone!
Jodie and baby Isobel
Lucy has been so pivotal in our parenting journey, we're so shocked how much of a difference this has made, not just getting more sleep but feeling more confident when out and about and in our lives
Emma and Artgyr
We were really struggling with our daughters sleep and were looking for help. Lucy’s method has worked brilliantly for us, gone from taking over an hour to get her down in her cot with multiple wake ups through the night to an easy put down followed by 11 hours uninterrupted sleep - a genuine life saver! All delivered with friendly and quick support from Lucy which really set this apart from others we found. Thanks so much!
George, Eleanor and baby Penny
We’ve just finished working with Lucy and really happy to see our LO’s false starts now a thing of the past. Lucy gave us so much support during our time with her but also gave us space to let us figure out what was right for our baby. One of the benefits of using a sleep consultant is that it keeps you accountable. It’s so easy to get lost with all the info on the internet and from friends and family. We were able to stay consistent and really measure success before deciding whether something had to change.
Happy Mummy and Daddy
Lucy was so reassuring during the time we worked with her. We needed to tweak things as we went to best support our son and Lucy always gave excellent advice and supported us through each step! We never thought our 10 month old son would sleep through the night in his own room but this happened quite quickly and we now are all much better rested and have confidence in his ability to self-settle so even with illness and teething we have still been able to keep consistent! Lucy is amazing and if you need help with sleep, we would really recommend getting in contact with her to support you so you can all sleep better. Thank you Lucy!
Happy Mummy and Daddy
We can’t recommend Lucy enough! She supported us for a few weeks and got our little one sleeping through the night and having a consistent, long nap in the day. She explained everything so clearly and was always on hand to help. She worked around our family life and came up with a routine to suit us. We never thought our son would sleep through the night so to be getting 12+ hours of sleep a night AND a 2 hour nap is a miracle! I just wish we did it sooner. Thank you so much!

We are a Nursery setting based in Colchester and we contacted Lucy from “ Little Dreams Consulting “ to see if she could offer us any training . Parents often ask us for guidance when it comes to their children’s sleeping and napping routines and we thought we could do with a refresher course to update our knowledge and offer parents the most up to date professional advice.
Lucy was so knowledgeable especially about the science and importance of establishing and promoting good sleep practices . Lucy explained to us that Sleep is the time that the body recharges and energy is restored and that important brain development takes place.
I would thoroughly recommend Lucy and the consultancy to any sleep deprived parent , or indeed anyone hoping to achieve a more relaxed and better sleep pattern for their children and themselves
Wivenhoe Park Day Nursery
After having older children you’d think I’d have all the experience needed for my younger children, but I found myself with a little girl who refused to sleep in her own room, not wanting to go to bed until around midnight and I had tried everything I knew of, read books, watched countless hours of tips and tricks and nothing I did had any long lasting results, I was exhausted! As a last ditch attempt of us finally getting some sleep I contacted Lucy, within a few weeks, my daughter now goes to bed easily, I can leave her to fall asleep without me and she will sleep all night from a much better time for us all, it’s nothing short of a miracle, working with Lucy has been an absolute pleasure, she is very knowledgeable, patient and understanding and kept me going right the way through, especially during the tougher times. If you’re struggling to get your family to sleep then don’t hesitate, Lucy is amazing at her job and I shall feel eternally grateful for all her help and support x
Angela, Mummy to 6 year old
Lucy was friendly, knowledgeable and gave the perfect amount of support. We are all getting more sleep thanks to her and our son can now settle for naps and sleeps himself, which is far away from the frequent night wakings we once had. So thank you!
