“This experience has been no short of life changing! I only wish I would have done it sooner!”
In a word: UNBELIEVABLE!! 🥹🙌🏼
We came into this process desperate for a solution to our terrible sleep situation, but also skeptical that it would work for us. I felt like we “knew” all the things – we read all the books, the blogs, we watched our wake windows, we had a bedtime routine and the right sleep environment. We successfully DIYed a different method of sleep training with our oldest — but it just didn’t take with our second kid. Our child was almost a year old, but is still felt like we were in the trenches of having a newborn.
I was referred to Meghan by a friend, and I was filled with so much hope after talking with her about my situation. Meghan believed that my daughter could fall asleep on her own from fully awake, and sleep all through the night.
It sounded like a dream, and I wasn’t sure it was really possible for us. Our 11 month old was waking up like 7x per night (and nursing back to sleep for most of those), co-sleeping because she was refusing to transfer / sleep in the crib… basically, I was doing her bedtime at 7 pm and often unable to leave the room until morning because I was rocking her or co-sleeping because it was the only way we could get her to sleep.
Fast forward to our first night of sleep training, our girl fell asleep *on her own* in just 23 minutes and slept the next 12 hours straight in her crib! 🤯🤯🤯 And over the last few weeks since starting our program, that success has continued. Our daughter has puts herself to sleep every single night, without any sleep crutches like rocking, nursing, etc. – and sleeps 12+ hours straight through the night.
Before sleep training, my child was averaging 9-10 hours of total sleep in a 24 hour period. After sleep training, she’s getting closer to 14!
I got my evenings back, my SANITY — plus Meghan also gave us a predictable schedule to follow, which I LOVE! It makes it so much easier to plan my days knowing that nap time is set in stone. She also left us with so many resources going forward on how to make adjustments to our schedule as our daughter grows up.
I cannot say enough good things about our experience! Our sleep situation was so incredibly bad, I don’t even know how I was physically surviving for so long on such broken and little sleep. This experience has been no short of life changing! I only wish I would have done it sooner!
