   This is my second time working with Emma. I worked with her for my daughter who is now in incredible sleeper and now again with my son. He was completely reliant on his dummy to sleep, naps were non existent without motion and he’d never slept in his cot. Emma worked with me with a very gentle approach to remove the dummy and get him sleeping independently. He is now in his own cot overnight and naps wonderfully. I could never have done this on my own, Emma was so kind and reassuring throughout the whole process!

   Emma provided us with a life-changing approach to achieving consistent sleep through the night at a time when we needed it most !!! With a combined approach of an incentive chart, sleep clock, new consistent techniques and routines, and weaning off the dummy, we went from nights of interrupted sleep and intense crying to having a confident, secure 2- yrs old baby boy who now self settles, falls asleep independently in his cot, and stays in bed until wake-up time! We’re incredibly grateful for Emma’s support. She has been absolutely amazing, she is not only an expert in children’s sleep, but also approachable, empathetic, and thoughtful about our child’s personality. She created a tailored plan that worked very well for our family. We only wish we had done this sooner, but it’s never too late to get back on track!

   I am so grateful that we came across Emma! Having had not the best sleep in our house with both our older child and younger son, when he got to almost 22 months old we decided we needed help! We had fallen into bad habits and ended up feeding to sleep and co-sleeping all the time and none of us were getting much sleep. Emma was kind, patient and reassuring - I never felt judged and Emma’s clear and helpful advice at every stage helped us turn things around quicker than I ever anticipated. Emma is a great listener and identified quickly things we needed to tweak. Within 3 nights our son was sleeping in his own room and within 10 days he was self-settling at bedtime and sleeping through the night. Even through sickness and the Christmas period things have stayed steady and that’s down to Emma’s help and support. Thank you Emma - both the grown ups and children are feeling so much better rested and we are all feeling the benefits. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Emma and my only regret is not contacting her sooner!

   My 5 month old daughter had never slept in a cot, she’d only ever fed to sleep in bed with me, naps were a shambles and I was up most of the night feeding her. Emma helped us create a clear plan and within a few days things completely turned around- my baby is now taking 2 1.5 hour naps a day in her cot, and sleeping in her cot all night long with just a couple of feeds. The difference is amazing! I feel like I’ve got my life back, everyone is happier. Emma is lovely, kind and supporting to work with, Thankyou! X

   I found out about Emma through a baby group I go to. At the time our little boy was 10m & waking 2-3 times every night and would only settle after having a feed. He would also leak his nappy most nights due to all the milk he was drinking! I thought that he needed this milk, hence why I continued with it, but I’ve now realised that we were literally feeding the problem! Our little boy would also only nap in a buggy or in the car. We explained all of this to Emma in our intro video call and Emma said she could help reduce night wakes and the feed to sleep association, plus introduce cot naps. We knew straight away we were in safe hands. It all felt a little daunting to start with but we made some massive realisations straight away, one being that the Euan the Dream Sheep was not aiding his sleep at all, quite the opposite actually. Part of our phased plan was to sit next to our little boy at bedtime until he fell asleep… the first time I did this the sheep was playing in his cot, as normal, baby was tossing and turning in the cot, and the instant the sheep finished its 20min lullaby he relaxed and fell asleep!!! The second it stopped!! We quickly worked through the different stages of helping our baby settle, and introducing a “dreamfeed” initially.. it was great to have ongoing structure and support from Emma. We would check in most days and she’d give us some pointers to tweak the plan. It was great, so even when we were all awake at 4am trying to help baby resettle, it was all in the plan, and I believed in it and Emma. I really liked Emma’s approach to helping our little boy sleep… it was all about reassuring him and comforting him, letting him know we were there for him, and giving him the skills and independence to learn how to settle back to sleep himself. There was no shutting the door and letting him “cry it out”. The thought of that just didn’t sit right with me. We paid for a support package with Emma, where we had a number of video calls and email support. We would email Emma with our little boy’s sleep log every few days, which detailed how much sleep he’d had during the day, the wake windows, bedtime, and settling times. Also any notes pre and post midnight. Emma would then come back to us with suggestions. For us this worked really well. And the results speak for themselves. We have gone from late bedtimes, 2-3 wake ups during the night (for milk), plus only sleeping in the buggy or car… and us generally being really fed up, upset, exhausted from the constant broken nights and nap battles.. to… A 12month old that can now sleep through the night!!!! We haven’t given him milk during the night for weeks. He regularly sleeps for 1.5-2hours in the COT!! And we generally feel so much more in tune with his sleep needs, and we have a happier baby, and we’re happier parents as a result! We truly recommend Emma and the Sleep Nanny programme, it’s worth every single penny! X

   Twinkle little stars sleep programme was excellent. It helped guide me through the early stages of sleep routines. Calls with Emma were really informative, she answered all the questions I had. Also gave me advice on how I can move away from breastfeeding associated sleep and make changes to allow my daughter to fall asleep independently which was our main sleep association I wanted to work on. We used Emma's programme for my older daughter 4 years ago and found it amazing, so decided to try the Twinkle newborn  programme which has really helped put good habits into place in the early baby stages. Emma's advice has helped my daughter with her sleep already and she's still very young. I'd definitely recommend it.

   Emma's advice has been invaluable to us as a family. Her gentle and holistic approach allowed us to train our 9 month old daughter from chaotic co-sleeping to self-settling in her own bedroom and sleeping through most nights. It was only with the support of Emma that we were able to do this and I can't recommend her services enough. Her kind and loving approach left us feeling supported and confident in what could have been a very tumultuous time. Although not without its difficulties, Emma equipped us with the tools and attitude to push through and we are all now much happier and 100% more rested. If you're considering working with Emma, take this as your sign to do it.

   We came to Emma with our baby girl who would only be rocked to sleep with a dummy and had to be held while asleep, she also fed every 2 hours through the night. We followed her advice and 6 weeks later we have a baby who self settles in her own cot without a dummy! We also now only do two feeds which are both dream feeds. We would never be where we are today without Emma and we couldn’t thank her enough for her kindness and help when we needed it. 100% recommend

   Emma worked wonders on our now 5 month old. We started early as he was waking every 45 mins and night and barely napping during the day. We got rid of the dummy and after 4 hard long weeks, my son now sleeps in his own room and puts himself to sleep in 10 minutes or less. Not only that but he sleeps through the night. I had to bounce and rock him to sleep for every single sleep, including every time he woke up at night so to say this process has been life changing is an understatement. Thank you Emma!
