Our newborn baby would only sleep on us! Now sleeping soundly in the crib- life changing for all.

Rosalee was a second time mom to little 4 year old P and now to a newborn 7 week old H. She barely remembered the newborn months with her first because of the sheer sleep deprivation, to cope she ended up sleeping sitting up on a chair and now little 4 year old P is still not sleeping through the night and coming into mom and dads room at night.

She was desperate to get a better start with her second, knowing that with two now she would not be able to give her best to her children without the proper sleep they all needed. Rosalee, read all about sleep and tried just about everything but couldn’t figure it out on her own. She had so many questions and couldn’t imagine being up all night with all the crying of two babies. She didn’t have the strength for that.

Rosalee reached out for help. She knew this was the only way she would have a clear plan and help every step of the way.

We decided to at least get her newborn sleeping in the bassinet at night for safety reasons and in getting to know his temperament we knew this would be the easiest hurdle to overcome as mom was tired.

WHAT WE DID NEXT…

Rosalee wen’t through the newborn sleep course that easily and fast took her through sleep expectations, how to calm a fussy baby, how to put her baby down and used visual demonstrations that helped her see exactly what to do.

“I found the modules easy for my tired eyes and they were right to the point with clear actions to take”

We decided to keep baby in the same room as mom (co-sleeping - not bed sharing) and we first made sure that we set up the sleep environment to be as conducive to sleep as possible. We made sure that her little one was not overtired and watched/capped day sleep and lastly showed her how to calm her newborn in arms and move him into the bassinet. Settling in the bassinet helped her baby become comfortable in this space and got her longer stretches of sleep. We adjusted feeds and timed it perfectly so she was still feeding once a night but then set her baby up for the longest stretch of sleep.

“The best thing I learned was how and when to respond, I was worried of lots of crying but Lily showed me that you should still be assisting in the right way and there was ways to help your baby without having them on you 24/7, I still snuggle and hold for some naps and now I know there can be a balance”

Now little P is 10 weeks old and still sleeping great in his bassinet, he gets up once a night for a feed and he’s then back to sleep until 7am. This has helped mom get a little big more predictability into her nights and now we are ready to start working on toddler strategies with her 4 year old, to get him loving his bed and finally giving mom some peace and rest at night.

“I should have started years ago but I’m glad I found Lily for my newborn. The course was affordable and easy to follow and it made a huge difference in my levels of anxiety and nights, I’m no longer crying in desperation for sleep and my little boy is sleeping so well! That makes me so happy” - Rosalee H.

“We will never be able to fully express our gratitude to Lily for giving us our quality of life back! We sleep now more than ever and most importantly our babies sleep 12 hour nights and nap 2 hours during the day.
Lily is the fairy godmother in our fairytale. I say fairytale, because we would never have imaged we would have such great little sleepers with having twins in the same room. But that was no problem for Lily: she knew exactly what to do! Lily’s support was invaluable in our journey to sleep.
Lily is compassionate, understanding, encouraging, knowledgable, friendly and extremely supportive! When she says she is a call away she really is - she was always right there with us whenever we needed her.
Lil Baby Sleep Consulting has been the best investment we have made in our babies and for the quality of life of our family.
Thank you, thank you, thank you Lily! We will be forever grateful to you!”
