Don't hesitate to ask for help. That is the best thing you can do for your baby and for yourself. Trust Eva and do what she is asking you to do. We have made improvements in just a couple of days. We had almost no tears, just whining a couple of times. Going from battles at bedtime to just putting the baby in a crib, and sleeping through the night, in a matter of days, that is a miracle for us.
Our 12month old had been waking up every 3-4 hours his whole life, and was regularly completely awake by 4am. The situation was destroying our mental health, and I had tried every strategy I found on Google without success. With kyndra's help, our son started sleeping 12 hours straight and waking up at 6am within a week. The email support was detailed and perfect for us. I also appreciated having her feedback in writing so that I could reread it a d revisit it as needed. My only regret is not having searched for help earlier!!
We had results almost immediately. Naps consolidated and nights have more predictability.
Emails were great as we could fit them in around life. Eva was so great checking in, when I'd get busy and a few days would pass.
My questions were always answered clearly and straight to the point. But I always felt like i was still the parent, and not like I was being told what to do.
It has made my transition back to work and days home with dad a dream!
Regrettably we had a few set backs with things out of our control, these set backs have made me feel more confident in knowing my daughter and understanding her sleep needs and sleep cues. I now more than ever know exactly when my daughter is over tired and I now know when she needs more assistance to obtain extra sleep. I am grateful for the simplicity of email support and for Cassie going an extra mile to support us further as we did not get the results we wanted initially. Tho we are still working on our day sleep consolidation Cassie has helped me establish some routine/schedule in my life and has also provided me tools to get my baby to sleep unassisted and in her cot which for a mumma that has had a contact napper for 6 months this alone is great.
With a few tweaks on my baby’s schedule (8MO) we finally got him sleeping through the night . Thank you Kyndra for all your help !
