What parents say about us

A few of the highlights from our newly refreshed parents

We no longer get a sense of dread and panic in the run up to bedtime, in fact bedtime is now a really lovely experience… The family dynamics have improved all around and we have a much happier household as a result.

Mummy and Daddy to 5 month old

Within nights of following the personalised sleep plan, she was sleeping through the night in her cot and had learnt to self settle. When she does now wake, she is able to take herself back to sleep.

Rachel and Chris, parents to 15 month old

Jenna took the time to get to know us and her recommendations were tailored to us. She provided excellent support, giving clear advice whenever we needed it along the way. We are now a well rested, much happier little family.

Mummy and Daddy to Leo (8 months old)

Working with Fay has made a huge difference. Bedtimes often were very drawn out and now we can put her down and leave the room. Night times used to be very stressful, none of us got a lot of sleep, I was often afraid to go to sleep as our daughter had a knack of waking up just as I fell asleep. But now all of that stress is gone, and everyone is better rested.

2023

This is the second time Fay has provided us with a magic formula! She helped us with our then 3-year-old who had always been a poor sleeper. Within a few weeks, Samara's sleep altered from multiple night wakings, and battles at bedtime, to a 7-7 sleeper where bedtimes were fun. Had we known what the results we would be, we would have gladly paid ten times the fee! Nadia was totally different - she slept well as a newborn. However, after the 4-month sleep regression, she started waking early from naps and wanting feeds earlier in the night. We decided to contact Fay and she suggested helping Nadia learn the skills to go to sleep unaided would be straightforward. Sure enough, with Little Dreams tailored plan, at 6 months she is having 2 long naps per day (I sometimes have to wake her up) and has 1 night feed between 2-4am. So whether you are at your wits end or just want to make some improvements to an already good sleeper, we would 100% recommend Little Dreams.

Ally and Nihal, parents to Samara 3 years and Nadia 6 months

We turned to Little Dreams and Becky after months and months of broken nights with our 2 year old. We were at our wits end!! Becky was amazing in involving both us and our daughter in coming up with a plan and strategies to manage her night time challenges!! Our daughter has loved to receive regular motivational videos from Becky whilst we’ve had daily catch ups via the phone or WhatsApp. Nothing has ever felt too much of a bother. After just over 3 weeks our daughter has slept through the night twice (something she hasn’t done for approx 7 months!) and her nights and bed times are hugely improved! We are confident now that with a bit more time we’ll have some consistent full nights sleep again!! I would absolutely recommend Becky to anybody looking to get help with their child’s sleep! She’s been fab!

Parents to a 2 year old.

Becky has changed our lives! Prior to engaging with Becky, our son was waking multiple times per night and, at times, staying awake for hours on end. Having tried various ways of trying to improve his sleep, we were somewhat sceptical if anything was ever going to work. However, from night 1 he has slept through the night, only waking on two occasions in almost four weeks. He also now naps well during the day too, settling himself to sleep in his cot within a few minutes for both daytime naps and bedtime. Becky was really responsive throughout the process and we felt really supported. We can’t believe his progress and are so grateful!

Parents to a 8.5 month old.

We cannot thank Fay enough for the help she has given us. Our 8-month-old son would wake 4-6 times a night and always needed assisting back to sleep by breastfeeding or rocking. It was exhausting, and we dreaded the nights. He can now self-settle at night after feeds and is only up 1 or 2 times a night. Another big thing we are thankful for is he now sleeps in his cot for day naps. Whereas before we always needed to take him out for walks in the pram to get him to sleep. We were amazed with the results in such a short time. We cannot recommend Fay and Little Dreams Consulting enough. We are all so much more rested and happier from a better night’s sleep.

Fiona parent to a 8 month old.

Becky really helped make such a big difference to our family! Having someone to talk through not only the sleep routine but also meal times has helped us find a schedule that works for all of us and allows our son to sleep properly. We really appreciated the check-in calls and have felt very supported throughout. Our son now has a predictable sleep routine and is so much happier (as are we!).

Emily and Alice parents to George 12 months.

We're now in a completely different place to where we were just weeks ago, it's crazy! We feel so much more confident when it comes to supporting Euan sleep, and he has come on leaps and bounds. And ultimately we're all so much more well rested.

Parents to a 5 month old.

Our 5 month old son's sleep was so broken and we had multiple wake ups overnight. He was reliant on either being fed to sleep or being rocked to sleep; it was no longer sustainable. Becky was our sleep consultant and from the first Zoom meeting we felt that we were in safe and knowledgeable hands. The improvement in our sons sleep from day 2 was incredible. He has gone from strength to strength with his sleeping and we now feel that we have the tools to continue without the direct supervision of Becky.

Parents to a 12 month old.

“I just wanted to email to say thank you so much for your advice last week - it’s been life changing! We implemented your plan for daytime naps in the pram to reset the overtiredness and spoke to the lactation consultant regarding feeding and made some big changes! Our son is now sleeping (on & off) for minimum 4 hour windows overnight and we’ve even had some 5 hour stretches between feeds! My partner and I have had more sleep as a result and are in such a better place. He still naps in the pram but also now the carrier and we are hoping to get some home based daytime naps soon! We are so grateful for advice! “

Mummy and Daddy to 5 week old

We have used Little Dreams (Fay Smith) to help us plan a sleep schedule for our baby. We first spoke when he was one week old, then again at 3 weeks, and then more recently at the one year mark. We found Fay to be truly excellent - very practical with lots of clear and actionable advice that felt tailored to our circumstances and parenting style. The evidence speaks for itself: our little one was sleeping through the night from 12 weeks and was back on track after a short blip at the one year mark thanks to Fay's super-sensible and concise advice. Would definitely recommend!

Josh an Leia, parents to 1 year old.

I cannot thank Fay at Little Dreams enough. We got into a bad habit of feeding to sleep after a long haul flight (UK to NZ). Our little girl was 5 months old and waking every 45 minutes through the night, wouldn't sleep alone or be put down in her cot and never napped longer than 30 minutes. After 14 days of sleep training, we are now on one wake up per night, and 2 x 90 minute naps in her cot. Not only has her sleep dramatically improved but her feeding has become so much more efficient and manageable.

Sarah, Parent to 5 month old

My partner was facing a really tough time getting our 9months old first born to get to sleep. His heavy dependency on his mother, coupled with an inseparable bond/attachment during sleep made it impossible to get our son to sleep on his own. Frequent night waking and irregular naps meant he was cranky and not having proper solids during the day. We were in dire need of help/assistance from a professional sleep consultant who could work with us and get our son to sleep on his own. Comes Jenna from Little Dreams Consulting into our lives, who with her immense knowledge of child's sleep patterns, habits and daily routine transformed our lives! Starting of with her free consultation and questionnaire, Jenna prepared a detailed step-by-step and a realistic plan for us which was extremely comfortable for us to follow from Day 1. And I kid-you-not, our son started sleeping 3hrs in a stretch from Day 3/4. For a child who'd never once gone to sleep on his own since birth, it was a huge achievement for us as a team! Our son's naps improved, he started eating better and started waking up with a much better mood. My partner started having 'actual sleep' and we started getting some time for 'us'. Now we realise, how important sleep is for a baby and how all things are inter-connected. Jenna's meticulous planning, attention to detail and a very approachable behaviour is what really impressed us. She constantly supervised, guided and supported us all throughout our journey. Today, when our program comes to an end and we look back to Day 1, our journey with Jenna and Little Dreams has been nothing short of a miracle. Jenna - we cannot thank you enough for what you've done for our son and our family. As my partner constantly and rightly says - you're a God-send-angel in our lives without whom we wouldn't have been able to get our son sleep on his own. Kudos to you and your wonderful team and keep up the good work!

Anwesha and Subhrojit Parent to 9 month old

‘Once again Little Dreams seem to have convinced another small person to sleep! Don't know how you do it, I really don't. Magic angels’.

Friend to Mummy of 15 month old who referred her to Little Dreams.

Fay really helped us change from feeding to sleep to self-settling as well as how Dad can make a big difference to sleep patterns and settling. We were all ready for a change at 16 months but didn't know how to move things on. The techniques were gentler than I was expecting, and the daily check ins were very helpful to make sure it was all going in the right direction. Solid overnight sleep is life changing.

Parents to a 16 month old.

2022

When we first thought of using a sleep consultant, we were sceptical of whether it would help at all. However, within days of implementing Jenna's advice, we had already experienced substantial improvements.

Our son got poorly whilst on the programme and Jenna adapted it to account for this - extending it to ensure we got the results we wanted. She was very responsive throughout and went above and beyond what was expected. This is the best money we have ever spent! Cannot recommend highly enough.

Mummy and Daddy to 10 month old

Our 6 month old was fed/rocked to sleep and waking every 45minutes to 2 hours throughout the night. Naps were all in the buggy or held. We were all exhausted and I was feeling pretty low.

In slight desperation we turned to Fay and Jenna and I’m so glad we did- I couldn’t quite believe it, but after working with Jenna within a few days our baby was settling himself to sleep and sleeping through the night with mostly only one wake up (for food).

The difference is incredible- our baby is so much happier, and we are too! I’m loving my maternity leave and our baby is getting the rest he needs. I can’t thank or recommend Jenna highly enough. She listened carefully to us and supported us to create and implement a plan that worked for our family. She was always on hand to answer queries and provide reassurance. Do not hesitate to get in touch with Little Dreams- help is at hand.

Mummy and Daddy to 6m old

Before working with Little Dreams, our little girl was waking every 1 or 2 hours to feed in the night and unable to self soothe. Now, the night time routine takes much less time, is less stressful and my husband is able to put her to bed himself. We are also getting much more sleep as Isobel is no longer waking every couple of hours. We’re still working on the day naps but hoping to crack that soon. Thank you so much for all your help Becky, you've been brilliant and we appreciate everything you've done. We are really amazed by the results! And I've already recommended you to a friend of a friend!

Mummy and Daddy to 15 month old

I can’t quite believe that I’m writing my own review on your page, as it only seems like a few months ago that I was reading everyone else’s reviews & thinking “……but would it really work for our son”? For 22 months our son would only sleep whilst being breast fed. Putting him in his cot awake and hoping he would fall asleep on his own was a myth in our household. Whilst I didn’t mind feeding him to sleep for the first few months, I naively thought that when our son turned 1, he would magically start to sleep on his own, but that didn’t happen. So the cycle of me feeding him to sleep continued. He would always wake up grouchy around 45 mins to an hour of me putting him down, then he would consistently wake up around 3-4 times a night, with me having to feed him back to sleep each time. Sleep deprivation became our reality and we weren’t living, just simply existing & I was starting to dread the evenings. That’s when I knew that we needed to get help. My husband was very reluctant and I was sceptical at first. For us it was a lot of money to part with for it not to work, but I was desperate and surviving on around 3 hours sleep each night, so I was prepared to do anything to help improve our sons sleep. I can honestly say this was the best INVESTMENT we have ever made! Our consultant Jagruti was so patient with us & so calm & relaxed. I immediately had hope when she shared that she had help from Little Dreams Consulting & now her son sleeps through the night. It gave me hope that perhaps it could work for my son too and it really did! We’ve gone from our son either not napping at all or me having to breastfeed him in order to nap to me now putting him in his cot AWAKE and he gets himself off to sleep. I really look forward to the evenings now, as we have a firm bedtime routine, something we didn’t really have before and now I put him in his cot AWAKE and he sleeps throughout the night. He even naps at his grandparents house too, which was unheard of before and even they can’t believe that this is the same child! My husband & I can finally spend the evenings together now. Not every night is perfect & our son will still sometimes wake up throughout the night, but he can now get himself back to sleep, instead of needing our assistance. If your little one is having difficulty sleeping, don’t hesitate in getting help from Little Dreams Consulting. My only regret is not getting their help sooner.

A, Big M & Little M (22 months old)

I cannot thank Jagruti enough, there really are not enough thank yous! She has literally changed our lives in almost 2 weeks!

I just settled for that was how sleep would be for us and was actually seeking help for anxiety/mood swings. I literally feel like a different person and cannot thank you enough but most importantly, my little one.

She has shown such positive amazing changes! Not only does she look well rested, happier and more calm/relaxed, she’s so much more engaged in activities and has more energy!!

I absolutely adore bedtime now, I felt awful for dreading it so much and being upstairs for 2/3hrs trying to get her to sleep some nights!! It’s perfect quality time! Thank you so so much!

Mummy and Daddy to 17 month old

Mummy and Daddy to 5 month old

The positive change from 3 weeks ago to today is like night and day. We were up 4 or 5 times in the night, pre midnight and through to 5am which is when Amelia would wake up for the day. It felt like those first newborn weeks. This had been slowly getting worse over the last year. Fay took time to get to know our routine and worked with us over the 2 weeks to adjust Amelia's schedule. Amelia was our 3rd child and we thought we knew enough but there were some major areas we needed to change and it was the little adjustments that made all the difference. We now have full night’s sleep and don’t get up before 6am, sometimes we're treated to a 7am wake up!

Clare and Nigel, parents to Amelia (16 months old)

Mummy and Daddy to Leo (8 months old)

We would definitely recommend Jagruti. Our 2 year old was suddenly refusing to go to sleep for hours and then waking up 7 times per night just before our second baby was born. The sleep plan was really gentle and we were so pleased that it worked without our daughter getting upset. Our daughter now falls asleep quickly and sleeps for 11 to 12 hours! Everyone in our family are so much happier, especially our toddler who now has more energy in the daytime. Jagruti was extremely supportive throughout and, our only regret was that we didn’t contact Little Dreams sooner.

Mummy and Daddy to Rosa (2yrs 2months)

Firstly I would like to thank Jenna & the team for all their work which has literally transformed our lives. Our son had never slept through, or slept on his own, and when we got to 3 & a half years old, and were struggling to recover from a nasty dose of Covid, we came to the realisation that we really needed some help. We have never looked back on this decision and would (and have been!) recommending Jenna to all friends with little ones struggling with sleep. Jenna’s interactions with my son in particular really got him on board. He can be extremely strong willed but really followed the routines from day 1, and now we have calm bedtimes for both my children, no hanging around seeing the evenings slip away, and mostly undisturbed nights. It has been even better than we could have hoped for, and we will always be delighted we made the decision to seek help from Little Dreams. With our biggest thanks!

Maria, Ben and Eddie (3 ½ years)

Our 9 month old depended on me or my partner holding him while we bounced on a gym ball to help him fall asleep, we had incorporated this as he suffered from reflux when he was tiny and it was the only thing that soothed him. He found it difficult to get back to sleep without being bounced and would wake 3-4 times a night. We really couldn't see how things were going to change and tried everything and anything until we were recommended Little Dreams by a friend. We implemented Becky's advice and from day 1 our little one no longer needed to be bounced and within 3 days he began sleeping 7pm- 7am!! Becky was so supportive, and lovely and has enabled us to teach our little one the skills he needed to self settle - we all sleep amazingly now, it's been life changing for our family! This is the best money we have ever spent! Cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you Little Dreams!

Mummy and Daddy to Orin (5.5 months old)

We contacted Little Dreams on the recommendation of a friend, and were put in touch with Jags. Jags has transformed our understanding of what sleep our baby needs, and when. She has been hugely supportive and encouraging to us during the process. Our nights have improved dramatically and whilst the length of day time naps is still a WIP, we don’t dread putting him down to sleep in his cot because he can now self settle without drama. To say it has revolutionised things is not an exaggeration! I just wish we’d known Jags when doing battle with our older toddler’s sleep when she was a baby!

Mummy and Daddy to Max (5 months old)

Before working with Becky, our little one was waking multiple times over night and for feeds. I was very sceptical that we could change what was happening! But we were getting married and were keen to get some more sleep! Becky was very reassuring, offered regular support and responses to comments and was always great at explaining the whys of any issues. It’s been a life saver, it’s honestly the best thing we’ve done. We had a wedding with a happy baby that let us sleep in the night and during our following holiday! 10/10! Have already been singing the praises of the service!

Mummy and Daddy to 5 month old

It is no surprise to me to see that the previous 46 reviews left for Jenna at Little Dreams are all 5 star - because that was exactly our experience with her. We went from 6 months of our 4 year old waking up pretty much every night around 2-3am and quite often just not wanting to go back to sleep at all, to a child who know is in bed by 7.15pm and sleeps through solidly to 7am pretty much every night - it is amazing! The impact on all of us as a family has been incredible - would recommend Jenna (who was in fact recommended to us by friends who she helped a few years ago) without any hesitation, I just wish we had known about her 6 months ago!!

Mummy and Daddy to 4 year old

Our son was experiencing short naps and prolonged wake-ups of up to two hours overnight… We found the whole process with Little Dreams very smooth. Becky was professional yet friendly and very approachable.

It was amazing to know that the answer to a question was only a phone call or text message away. This took so much pressure off of us as parents, as the decision making was almost done for us. The feeling of “what if we’d put him down for a nap at a different time or what if we’d woken him earlier”, was all gone. This really helped us see the bigger picture and overall aims. On mornings where I felt like the night before had been a bad one, you were able to encourage me that our son was doing really well and remind me of how far he had come. The goals set at the beginning also helped me to see that we were achieving what we had set out to.

We now feel much more confident in making decisions about timings of naps and bedtimes. We are also getting a lot more unbroken sleep overnight, making daytimes far more enjoyable for everyone! We are so grateful, thank you so much for all your help Becky!

Mummy and Daddy to 8 month old

We have our evenings back and both boys are happier as there is not the disruption and stress that we used to have at bedtime EVERY evening! Bedtimes are so much calmer and everyone is getting the right amount of sleep.

Parents to 6 year old

We are a much happier family after sleep training. The results were considerably quicker than expected. Prior, Teddy literally woke every hour but on the fourth night of sleep training he only woke once. Having more sleep has made him much more contented when awake and seems to have spurred on his development. Our sleep plan was very well explained and we received plenty of support throughout the two weeks. Definitely worth it!

Mummy and Daddy to 7 month old

I cannot thank Jagruti enough, there really are not enough thank yous! She has literally changed our lives in almost 2 weeks! I just settled for that was how sleep would be for us and was actually seeking help for anxiety/mood swings.

Mummy and Daddy to Hattie (4 months old)

Our daughter was not settling herself at night, frequently waking in the night, would only settle in Mum and Dad’s bed, struggling with nap times and not letting Daddy put her to bed. This went on for a few months, until we decided to contact Little Dreams. After our call with Becky and a clear plan for us to follow, we had a challenging first night but from then on we saw a transformation in our daughters sleep. Our daughter can now settle herself to sleep, will let Daddy put her to bed and has consistent nap times. We can’t thank Becky enough for her help. Our household is a lot happier now everyone is getting their sleep! We wish we had contacted Little Dreams sooner!

Mum and Dad to 21 month old

I’m delighted to say that after just 3 weeks (having endured some good times and some really tough times) we seem to have cracked it! Our child now settles down to bed at night with no fuss and stays in their own bed all night too.

Mummy and Daddy to 9 year old

When speaking to Jag it felt as though I was chatting to a friend and I was instantly put at ease throughout the process I felt very supported.

With such busy lives, and a two and half year old, Lloyd and I generally felt exhausted by the time we made it to bed. To know that in most cases once Jenson is asleep that’s it for the evening takes so many feelings of ‘what sort of night do we have ahead of us?’, ‘please make tonight the night you sleep through’ away.

We now wake feeling refreshed, ready to tackle the day with two small children. There are no more competitions about ‘who had the best night’s sleep’. It makes me as a mum and Lloyd as a dad much happier and content in knowing that the entire house is getting solid quality sleep. Just a shame you can’t help with snoring husbands 😊

Mummy and Daddy to Jenson (5.5 months old)

3 years ago we met Jenna at our Bump to Cradle ante natal classes on the sleep session. We were 'lucky' with our first but our second decided independent sleep was not her thing. So 3 years later we found ourselves needing the services of Little Dreams more than ever. Becky was great at listening to our concerns and explaining the 'why' to us. The plan was easy to follow and she reassured us that we could continue and flex the plan when a pre planned weekend was fast looming. The difference was clear from day 1. We get independent sleep at night, good naps and confidence in leaving her with our parents to enjoy rare date nights! My only regret was not contacting them sooner. Thanks Becky!

Mummy and Daddy to 5.5 month old

We can’t thank Jenna enough for quite literally transforming our lives! When we contacted her, our 13 month old was waking 5 times a night and needing to be fed, rocked and stroked back to sleep, often resulting in long periods of over-tired screaming for several hours in the night. Jenna explained the process in a way that made so much sense and reassured us that it would be gentle and we could work with our son to teach him the skills he needed to empower him to fall asleep independently. At no point would we leave him screaming into the darkness on his own. From night one, we noticed a difference in his sleep pattern, and when he did wake, we had a solid plan to follow, leading to all three of us feeling much less stressed. Within 2 weeks, he was sleeping through the night for 12 hours and had completely weaned himself. His naps are regular and restful and we have our evenings back, safe in the knowledge that we can choose our own bedtime and not expect to be woken numerous times before dawn! The positive impact this has had on our relationship as a couple as well as with our son has been remarkable and we are so proud of him. We would unreservedly recommend Jenna to anyone struggling with sleepless nights. It’s the best money we’ve ever spent!

Kate, Simon and Jackson (13 months old)

Teddy has never been very good at going to bed unlike his younger brother Bertie who goes to sleep with no problems (both raised exactly the same). We were at our wits end with Teddy’s very challenging behaviour at bed time, to the point where we were considering putting him on medication. We are really pleased that we decided to go down the sleep consultation route first as this made us step back and reassess what we could be doing differently. Jag has been a great support to our family and went above and beyond to provide bespoke resources to help Teddy (personalised videos). Thanks to Jag for all the advice, help and support.

Ben and Emily, parents to Teddy (5 Years Old)

Rory was unable to self settle, so we would put him down asleep after me feeding him to sleep. As a result he would wake frequently in the night and would nap always in the pushchair. Becky was always around for calls, emails and messages. And we felt really supported while Rory went through a teething blip. Now, not only is Rory sleeping every single nap in his cot, he goes down at night very well and any wake ups are much more manageable, plus we have the skills and confidence to deal with Rory's sleep needs now. As a family we are all much more rested and happy. The positive impact on Rory's sleep is not the only huge benefit of this plan along with Becky's support, she also encouraged us to offer more meals and snacks to Rory and he is such a fantastic eater and I genuinely believe this helped with his mood and sleep also. Becky has been a fantastic support to us! Thank you Becky!

Carly, Adam and 9 month old Rory

For months Felix would only fall asleep on the move or being fed to sleep. This meant that he would wake every two hours during the night and only sleep on me or in his pram/carrier during the day. I'd read a lot of conflicting advice about sleep and baby schedules and just got overwhelmed by it all. The lack of sleep was also having a negative impact on my mental wellbeing and causing frequent arguments and tension and I felt like I didn’t know where to start with sleep training. Luckily I came across Little Dreams through a recommendation on Instagram and even after the initial 15 min consultation felt assured that they would be able to help. Jenna talked us through Felix’s plan in great detail and we started to see results within a couple of days. He started sleeping in his cot for naps and woke only for a couple of feeds during the night. The transformation was amazing - I didn’t have to bring him into the bed in the early hours of the night and we got time to ourselves during the day when he slept in his cot. We have also seen the transformation in Felix, he’s much happier now that he’s not overtired! Because he was just getting ready to drop a nap it took a bit longer to sort out his night wakings, but Jenna was so supportive, she really went above and beyond to leave Felix with amazing sleep skills and us with ways to deal with any sleep issues. I’m really not exaggerating when I say that she changed our life! I would not hesitate to recommend Little Dreams to anyone who’s struggling with their baby’s sleep – it's the best money we’ve spent since having a baby!

Nina, James and Felix (6 months old)

We thought we’d tried everything but Jenna gave us a brilliant plan for us all to work to. What we loved was how she involved our daughter in the process so that she felt she had ownership over what was happening.

Mummy and Daddy to 5 year old

The experience has been transformative for us. Before working with Becky, our son was waking hourly at night and would only go to sleep feeding. During the day he would only nap in his buggy. He now settles himself to sleep! We have our evenings back, our sleep back and I have time to myself during the day when he naps. We couldn’t be happier with the support we received throughout the process.

Before working with Jagruti our little one would need a parent to help him settle as he found it hard to do so on his own we also has multiple wake ups at night.

Since following the sleep plan we now find he settles independently and we no longer need to stay in the room, which makes bedtime quicker and easier with his brother and we are all sleeping much better now.

Mum and Dad (parents to 23 month old)

I highly recommend Fay at Little Dreams. She was a wonderful guide - really listened, adjusted the sleep programme and techniques to fit my baby's needs and personality, consistently checking how we were doing, and giving clear compassionate advice when I asked "what should I do....?"

My baby's sleep has really improved and I am more confident in managing future sleep struggles.

Yeen and Sam (parents to 11 month old)

We now have evenings together! And few night wakings, sometimes none. which has been great... naps in his cot have also meant I’ve been able to spend time with my daughter one on one which has been a big help too.
Our son seems happier too now he is well rested. We are thrilled with the results!

Mummy and Daddy (to 6 month old)

Before working with Little Dreams, Zachary would only feed to sleep and was very resistant to napping during the day. I found it easy to list the things that he liked and enjoyed doing but was convinced that he hated napping! He was tired during the day and we felt that it was a constant battle to get him to sleep for any duration. In the weeks before we started working with you, Zachary had stopped sleeping well at night and had started to wake every 1/2 hours and the feeling of sleep deprivation had hit!

After speaking to Becky, Ben and I both felt that things were going to get better and there was light at the end of the tunnel. Becky was a fantastic support and it was so reassuring to know that she was always there to answer any concerns/questions. I was blown away by the feedback and support that she gave us and this was the best thing about using Little Dreams Consulting (not including the great improvements in Zachary's sleep of course!)

I am really enjoying my little boy again. I had become so stressed and consumed by his lack of naps during the day and thinking about his lack of naps that I found I was not enjoying time with Zachary as much as I should have been. The experience was challenging at times (as we expected!) but the outcome has totally made up for this and he now falls asleep independently for naps and at night.

We now have a little boy who naps 2/3 times per day and goes to sleep without too much protesting and I can't believe the change in such a short space of time. He no longer has little bags under his eyes and is all smiles once more!

Not only has the effect been positive on our little family, the positivity has been felt by our wider family and once again we feel confident to take Zachary away to stay with friends and family knowing that we are able to continue his routine and maintain his sleep.

Mummy and Daddy (to 4.5 month old)

J has always found sleep difficult and we found ourselves with a 10 month old who was up every 2-3 hours overnight and would only settle with a feed. He also hated naps!

We had always been reluctant to sleep training J before but Becky was calm and supportive from the very beginning and it soon became clear that we had nothing to be worried about.

Within 3 nights, J slept through the night and we had our first full night of sleep in 10 months. It was miraculous! It has also had the added benefit of J having almost weaned himself which was something that we hoped to achieve at 12 months. Naps took a little longer to resolve but Becky stayed with us throughout. We’ve even managed a weekend away and J slept like a trooper!

We feel amazing and the change in J is noticeable. Thank-you so much!

Mummy and Daddy to J (10 month old)

We are so grateful for Becky’s expertise and advice around our babies sleep. In under 5 days he went from being rocked and held to sleep each nap and night to self soothing with little resistance going down.

We really didn't think it was possible for a 5 month old to achieve it so easily but Becky assured us he could.

We would definitely recommend Little Dreams for couples experiencing any baby bedtime woes!! 😴😊

Mummy and Daddy to 5 month old

Becky was fantastic!

The techniques she taught us really paid off. It took several days for our child accept the new routine and rules, though this was still less stressful than our bedtimes before working with Becky. Once our child got over this bedtimes were easy and quick. Our child still woke in the night occasionally, sometimes for quite a while, but they stay in their bed and settled themselves.

Becky was also very supportive, reassuring us when we were having difficulty. We never felt judged if we made mistakes and she made things very clear if we were confused about anything. 10/10!

Mummy and Daddy to 3 year old

We cannot recommend the services of Little Dreams enough. From our initial consultation call with Fay, and then our work with Becky for the following two weeks, we felt reassured and confident that we would be able to transform our daughter's sleep.

They were helpful, supportive and gave us the confidence to follow their plan successfully. The results were incredible, and we feel so pleased with the results - our daughter is so much more content and happy as she is sleeping so much better, and we are well rested too!

Grace and Andrew (parents to 4.5 month old)

Our little boy was just over 7 months when we started working with Becky. He had frequent night wake ups every 2-3 hours and wanted to be fed back to sleep despite knowing how to self settle for naps and bed time.

It’s been a rocky road and not the ‘quick fix’ we hoped for but we have made huge progress and now only have max of two wake ups. Becky has been super supportive and always made us feel at ease. She always listens to my ‘moments’ and reassures me all the way.

Our little boy has a heart condition and requires mediation to be given in the night often meaning we have to wake him or administer when he does wake. Becky has accommodated this into his plan and had not appeared phased by this added complication. So to any parents who feel nervous about doing sleep training with a baby/child who has medical issues please don’t!

We are still on our sleep journey but what I try to remember is that these kids change all the time. They have good and bad days just like us and sometimes it’s just time and all we can do is steer them in the right direction. Becky did just that.

Mummy and Daddy to 7 month old

We would just like to say a MASSIVE thank you to Jenna for literally transforming our lives recently.

For the past 2 years my husband and I (mostly me) have not been able to get a proper night sleep. Jenna came in and within 2 weeks she changed our daughters sleep behaviour and has taught our little one to sleep independently and wake up feeling refreshed in the morning. Our daughter was never able to fall asleep by herself and would often wake up multiple times through the night and always needed intervention to go back to sleep. She is now able to sleep through the night and if she does wake up, will put herself back to sleep.

Words cannot describe how relaxing our evenings are and we have piece of mind that the little one will sleep well.

My husband and I are able to relax, talk to each other and have some alone time in the evenings after a hard days work. It is simply AMAZING and we couldn’t have got this without Jenna’s help.

Jenna was so thorough, so supportive and was always so accessible and extremely friendly. She listened to all our concerns and was accommodating on so many levels. We have already decided to bring Jenna into our lives again when we have our next little one but this time won’t be waiting 2 years!!

Thank you so much Jenna for helping all of us and improving our quality of life.

Mummy and Daddy to 2 year old

We have come a long long way with Kaavya's sleep. This really wouldn't have possible to achieve without your expertise and support and patience throughout these two weeks.

We were so accustomed to bouncing kaavya to sleep at each nap and bed time right from when she was 4 months old. It seemed normal to do the same as long as she did fall asleep only to then have fair few wake ups where she would need to be next to us in bed. We were at wits end and we really needed the help! We couldn't plan our day in any way as there was no sleep routine as such for Kaavya. Her naps never seemed to be long enough as she was only used to sleeping in the bouncer.

The detailed plan and guidance has really helped us to be confident with Kaavya's sleep needs. You really supported us on a daily basis and encouraged us for each step we took to getting Kaavya to self-settle. We never imagined Kaavya would sleep in her cot without any sleep associations. Kaavya now sleeps and naps comfortably in her cot and in her own room. It’s made our days and nights so much better! Thank you so much again for all your support. We would highly recommend little dreams consulting to our friends and family.

Pooja and Kiran, parents to 12 month old Kaavya

Since we moved our daughter to her own room and cot at 6 months, she started waking up 6 times a night and would only go back to sleeps in arms while feeding. This meant that every 1-2 hours we were on a sofa, in a dark room, feeding to sleep, day in day out. This was particularly trying on me, as our daughter went to sleep more quickly while breastfeeding rather than bottle feeding. After four months of this, and both in full-time employment, we were exhausted and couldn’t see a way out of this trap. More gravely, the nursery staff who looked after her were also getting tired, struggling to get her to nap during the day. It was then that a good friend recommended Little Dreams Consulting.

Our initial conversation was with Fay, who reassured us that our daughter could learn to self-settle. For the main sleep training programme, we worked with Jenna. We were initially apprehensive and absolutely terrified as to what we would be faced with and we had geared up for a dreadful first night of uncontrollable crying. Instead, things were a lot better than I expected. The first night, our daughter woke up 3 times, rather than 6. The second night, she woke up once. The fourth night, she didn’t wake up at all. And within 10 days, we were used to the fact that she wouldn’t wake up at all or would wake up once for about 10 mins until she soothed herself back to sleep.

We found the process challenging at times, as our baby is a determined little human who does not like being left alone in the cot, so she casually protests when we put her down for a nap/sleep. To make matters worse, progress was delayed due to our baby going through a major developmental milestone of learning how to sit up and sleeping in a sitting position during the programme. Still, Jenna was wonderful in reassuring us with scientific facts, acknowledging our fears and frustrations with immense quantities of patience, understanding, and compassion. She patiently gave our daughter (and us) space and time to work through this milestone, adjusting the programme to meet her needs.

It’s been two weeks now since we completed the programme, and we are now used to our baby sleeping uninterrupted through the night and having two decent day naps in her cot. Not only we finally have our evenings back to enjoy dinner in peace but we don’t need to rush to get to bed at the same time as our daughter, dreading the numerous night wakings.

Jenna’s support and the personalized programme she created for our little one have literally changed our life. We can honestly say that pursuing this programme, while at times challenging, due to our baby’s determined temperament, was one of the best decisions of our lives and we would recommend it to everyone who is currently struggling with sleeplessness due to their baby’s sleep. It is worth every penny, and we feel like normal human beings again. Thank you so much, Jenna, for all your help, understanding, and patience.

Ioanna and Chris, mummy and daddy to 11 month old

We were very pleased with the help tips and advice received from Becky, she was clear and concise in explaining why our daughter was struggling with sleep and provided options to improve the issues faced.

Once our two week training period began Becky always made herself available to call us for regular catch ups, which fit in with our plans.

We will definitely recommend Little Dreams Consulting, and in particular Becky to our family and friends especially as we now feel a lot less sleep deprived.

Sandra, James and Hope (4 months)

Little Dreams Consulting have been both professional and personal in their support to help our little boy achieve naps in his cot.

Instantly we felt better for a plan of action and throughout the process we were supported 100%. We are so grateful for what has been achieved and how it has positively impacted on family life! Thank you Becky and Little Dreams Consulting! X

Mummy and Daddy to 10 month old

When we started working with Fay our baby was waking frequently in the night and requiring motion for all naps. Following the initial consultation with Fay we had a very clear plan that we were able to initiate and with Fay’s continued support he now only wakes once or twice in the night for a feed and settles himself to sleep independently at bedtime and naptimes.

Fay was extremely patient and understanding throughout the whole process, helping us to troubleshoot difficulties that we encountered along the way and gave us confidence to give our baby the consistency that he needed to learn the lifelong skill of independent sleep.

Mummy and Daddy to 5 month old

After two years of no more than two hours sleep in a row (often much less), due to recurrent ear infections and glue ear, we were at breaking point. Our son was by far the worst sleeper of any of the children in our circle and despite moving past the illness, the poor sleep patterns remained.

Fay’s assistance quite literally changed our lives. Faye was so considerate of our concerns and delivered a plan with a firm sensitivity that gave us confidence. The first three nights were hard, but by night four things quickly began to fall into place and we haven’t looked back since. I can honestly say that it is the best money we have ever spent! The level of support we received from Fay was second to none and nothing was too much trouble.

In the words of my husband ‘Fay is definitely amongst the top three most important people in our lives in the last three years (and we only knew her a month!). Stick to the plan, do what Fay tells you to do - she is an f***ing rock star!’

The Wards (parents to 2 year old)

I contacted Little Dream Consulting following a recommendation from a friend. After a few months of procrastinating we finally decided to go for it. My son had been sleeping through the night mostly but day naps were very tough and we always had to rock/feed to sleep or pram sleeps. He would cry when we walked into this nursery and naps were also short for the most part. Putting him to sleep sometimes took longer than the nap itself. My partner and I used to dread nap time and bed time and it was causing a lot of stress for all of us including our baby.

We spoke to Jenna and immediately felt confident that this could all be resolved. She gave us a plan and we got started. We had success pretty much instantly and my son learnt the skill of putting himself to sleep and no longer cries in his room. We just regret not doing this earlier but we are incredible happy with the huge change this has made.

Thank you so much for giving this mummy time to herself during the day and for saving our backs.. our son was getting super heavy 🙂

Deena and Mark parents to Ayden (8 months)

Suddenly it went cold and bright, but as soon as I was put on your chest and heard your heart beat, I knew I was home. Mum-mum, my home is what you have always been, and my home is what you are.

Then everything started to hurt... I couldn’t sleep or feed, what was happening? Thank you Mum-mum for talking to me, like you did when I was in your tummy, and for holding me that bit longer and rocking me that bit more.

The hurting was getting worse and nothing helped, not even being held in your arms, or hearing your heartbeat, or the familiar sound of your voice. I couldn’t hear your gentle ‘ssshhh’ through my cries and screams, the only way I knew how, but I feel your comfort. Please help me Mum-mum. Please make it stop. Please help me sleep.

You scoop me up and hold me close every time I call, and for that I am so thankful Mum-mum. Daytime naps I can’t do, even though I so desperately want to. The only way I can sleep is in my pushchair, I love the rocking and drifting off to the sound of the outdoors.

At bedtime, I manage to fall asleep in your arms now the pain isn’t so bad, but then I wake up! Where are you? Where am I? I’m not at home. I cry out for you, please nurse me back to sleep again.

Life’s not what you imagined it would be with me, but through it all an unbreakable bond we have made and that will always be.

Now, we are both smiling and sleeping more. My pain has gone, and we found a gem that is Jenna. She taught us all we needed to know. She’s helped you help me learn my sleeping skills I haven’t been able to learn because of the pain. I’ve suffered from a dairy allergy and acid reflux, which is what they told us in hospital, and that’s why everything hurt so much.

I have lots of sleep to catch up on. In my life I’ve spent more time with no sleep and suffering pain, than with sleep and no pain. But wow look at me now Mum-mum, I can fall asleep on my own, in my own cozy nursery, in my own snuggly cot. I love my naps in the daytime and bedtime sleeps. When I wake up I don’t call you right away, I enjoy a lie in and I feel full of energy ready for us to laugh and play. My home is what you have always been, and my home is what you are, but my nursery is my very own sanctuary now too.

Thank you Jenna for believing in us. She supported us when nobody else would. She has been our rock, an invaluable presence we will always cherish and never forget.

Life is so much more fun with sleep and.... it’s making my hair grow really long and curly.

Thank you so much Jenna.

Baby Bella to Mummy Lottie (above)- 9 months old

A little background into our little baby Isla - she slept only in her pram, on a walk and I bounced on a Swiss ball to get her to sleep every single night for 6 months until I thought, ok surely there is another way! So that’s when I called Little Dreams for some help.

Not knowing what to expect, I was anxious about how the change could affect Isla and us as a family, would she be able to sleep in her cot in the day? I didn’t think so at the time! Becky was utterly brilliant. With the initial meeting on zoom, we outlined our goals, what was most important to us and she then came up with a personalised plan to help Isla and her sleep for the next 2 weeks.

At first I was hesitant, it went against everything I had done, putting Isla down awake after her feed at night was the main change that I couldn’t get my head around - all I will say is night 2, it worked. The pure patience, perseverance and care that Becky had with us as a family was second to none. Once the night time cot sleep was more or less sorted and I knew Isla was happy self settling, that is when it was time to move to the daytime naps - never have I ever done this, always in her pram on a walk! We lead a busy lifestyle and this always worked for us until we knew it wouldn’t in the long term. I thought to myself, give it a week where we put the naps first, get Isla used to a routine that ultimately would have more longevity. She surprised me, not knowing how it would go, day one she slept for over an hour, happily in her cot at 9am, was it a fluke? No. We have had over two weeks of self settling at night time in her cot and just over a week of cot naps twice a day.

Becky made me understand more about Islas awake times and how important they are to her and making sure she didn’t become overtired/over stimulated has honestly been a game changer. Have faith in yourself and your baby in knowing that the change you make is for you and your family, make sure you are ready to make that change and trust me when I say this, Becky and the ladies at Little Dreams are sleep angels and I will always have them to thank. Two of my friends have signed up already!

Thank you thank you thank you Becky - forever!

Lizzie and baby Isla (6 months)

Despite napping for hours in mum’s arms or in the pram, our little chap was not a fan of napping in his cot and rarely managed more than 35 minutes at a time. He also enjoyed waking up at night for milk and/or cuddles, sometimes up to 8 times a night and always needed to be fed to sleep. We were all exhausted.

Little Dreams was recommended to us by a friend and after our first conversation with Jenna we were filled with confidence that with some small changes we could help teach Henry the sleep skills he needed to fall asleep completely independently and link his sleep cycles. The plan that Jenna put together for us was clear and concise with lots of helpful tips. We were excited to put it into action!

We saw changes straight away from the first night, with Henry dropping down to 2 night feeds (and since then dropped to 1) and consistently napping longer in his cot. The ongoing support from Jenna as we put the plan into place was invaluable, in particular helping us to “live” troubleshoot what to do if naps went a little wrong. Henry is such a happy little boy now he is getting the sleep that he needs and we too are enjoying having our sleep back!

Thank you Jenna for all of your help and to anyone reading this considering whether or not to go for it, do it, you won’t regret it!

Mummy and Daddy to Henry (5 months old)

I was initially sceptical that we needed a sleep consultant. Unlike my partner I believed Timo already slept fine. I was wrong!

He now regularly sleeps between 13-14 hours a day, including nap. He goes down easily, has more energy during the day and is even happier than he was - which was pretty happy to begin with. Highly recommend Fay and Little Dreams Consulting.

Sam and Winnie (parents to 16 month old)

I cannot recommend Little Dreams and Jenna enough. Our 5 month old baby had always been a terrible napper and no matter what we tried it always ended with us feeling tired and very stressed. Our daughter was fighting her sleep and bedtime was often taking 2 hours to settle her. She hated the car seat and didn't much like the pram either, so we spent many hours walking the streets with the sling.
Jenna was calm, clear and supportive from day 1. The plan she laid out was easy to follow and when problems arose, she always had a solution and could help us adjust our approach to suit our baby. Our daughter now settles herself for naps and bedtime and we all get consistently good night-time sleep as well. It has literally been life changing - the best money we have ever spent with our baby!

One of the biggest benefits of working with Jenna is that it took away the hours and hours my husband and I used to spend discussing "maybe we should try this..", "is she overtired?" etc. We just did exactly what the plan said and trusted we would get the results (which we did). Jenna was also hugely motivating when we were having bad days and she constantly reminded us of the progress we had already made. She pushed us on through each stage and I have no doubt that we would never have been able to get this far without her. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Katie, Julius and Simona (5 months old)

We contacted Little Dreams Consulting following a recommendation from a friend. Our 14-month boy had been through a rough patch with his sleep and separation anxiety. I’d managed to make some improvements, but progress had plateaued somewhat. He was waking in the night, getting up early and his daytime naps were inconsistent.

Becky wrote a very detailed plan and took us through each step, explaining the reasoning behind the advice. Amazingly, our son slept from 7pm until 6am on the first night of the plan. His daytime naps have been for two hours ever since and we’re not having the 5am starts anymore. He’s so much happier and it’s been such a boost for me as a mum.

Becky has been fantastically supportive and helped me make our son’s routine fit in with our lives. I just wish I’d worked with a consultant with my eldest as well!

Claire, Neil and Tom (14 months old)

Fay and Jenna at Little Dreams were amazing from start to finish - they really listened to our problems and came up with a solid plan to help us make the changes which needed to happen.

Their attention to detail and level of support could not have been higher; we felt totally supported and guided as we navigated our way to better sleep.

The impact it's had on our family and home life is incredible and we cannot be more grateful for their expertise. Thank you, a million times; thank you!

Beth and Andy (parents to 20 month old)

Where to start! Martha now sleeps consistently at night in her cot, with minimal wake ups, and is able to self-settle herself when she does wake the majority of the time.

We are finally confident to put her to bed and stay up past 8pm, as we know we will be getting good quality of sleep ourselves! Martha’s naps are now mainly in her cot, and are of a good quality and increasing in length, which is having a huge impact on both her and us throughout the day.

We are also both much more confident now in our understanding of Martha’s sleep needs and how best to meet these in a supportive way. Martha is so much calmer and happier in herself and both Andrew and myself feel well rested and happy – something we cannot thank you enough for!

Grace, Andrew and Martha 4.5 months

After watching the miracles that Fay had performed for our friends, we had incredibly high expectations that she would perform the same miracle for us and am pleased to say she did not disappoint!

After months of interrupted sleep and a couple of weeks of hell, we decided to bite the bullet and ask for help. Fay was very encouraging and supported us from afar with phone calls and emails. With a number of minor adjustments we have now had almost 2 weeks since finishing our support with Fay of uninterrupted sleep!

We can’t thank her enough! We would highly recommend her to everyone!

Becky and Ross, parents to 11 month old

Following a recommendation from friends, we contacted Fay after our daughter's sleep had become really challenging: She had been a good sleeper since birth but after 2 months of increasing wake ups at night, early wakes in the mornings and hugely variable (but always short!) naps we were both really struggling. I was really impressed by the fact that initially, Fay encouraged us to just give it a little more time, just to see if things improved relatively quickly in line with a 4 month sleep regression.

Unfortunately things didn't improve and so we got back in touch and Fay was able to put together a comprehensive sleep plan really quickly. The initial consultation left us feeling really positive and reassured that things could get better. From night one, Fay gave us the confidence to move her into a cot and get rid of her dummy (which we all agreed was now probably causing her to wake when it came out). It was so much easier than we both expected and I never felt uncomfortable about her being in any distress because she wasn't! Things improved from night one and by night two she was sleeping for 11-12 hours each night! She was rapidly becoming more content during the day which was always our key goal.

Naps were more of a challenge but Fay provided us with the confidence and support to try different things and by the end of the second week, naps were lengthening and becoming a bit more predictable. We still have a little way to go with day time sleep but with the structure and support that Fay has provided, we feel confident to continue our routines but also have the ability to be flexible without worrying it's going to have a detrimental impact on her sleep.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Fay to anyone struggling with their little one's sleep - thank you for helping us all to feel so much more rested and happier!

Hannah and Alex (parents to 5 month old)

We contacted Fay at Little Dreams Consulting after our 10 month old refused to sleep through and would wake (at least) three times a night. I will not lie, the process works but is emotionally tough!

Within a week our son was able to sleep through and self-soothe himself back to sleep.

Fay was supportive all the way through and was able to advise on tweaks to bedtime routine and meals to assist with sleeping. Our only regret was not contacting Fay sooner!

Mummy and Daddy to 9 month old

I contacted Little Dreams Consulting after several months of night wakings and short erratic day naps- my little boy was restless and I was frazzled. I had followed their instagram account and picked up useful tips over the months, however I still could not put my finger on the problem.

Straight away Becky put us at ease and we realised just how many good habits and routines we already had in place that we could build on. Becky also helped me understand why my son was waking up and gave me a massive boost in confidence to manage future bumps in the road. With a few tweaks and gentle guidance from Becky, I have seen a big transformation in my son’s sleep and we are a much happier (and well rested) household. I only wish I had contacted them sooner.

Mummy and Daddy to 10 month old

Fay, we really can’t thank you enough. You have honestly transformed our lives and worked what we can only describe as magic on William’s sleep.

We still find it hard to believe that William went from not sleeping for more than 20 minutes at a time overnight and only having contact naps during the day, to self-settling in a few minutes, sleeping always in his crib and through the night. All in just a couple of weeks.

We can’t stop telling people and only wish we had found you sooner. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Mummy and Daddy to William (5 months old)

My daughter and son in law have had the benefit of using your services over the past two weeks to establish a sleep pattern with their very gorgeous son. I just wanted to thank you for the work you have been doing with them. The transformation is incredible. I could not imagine beforehand how wonderful the outcome would be for my grandson and for his parents. You said to them before they started that the work will give them a very happy Christmas and you were right. All three of them are so much happier and more relaxed. It is joyful. Thank you again for all your help and support!

Grandmother to 6 month old

If you are reading these pages, hence considering enlisting the help of Fay or Jenna, I can say only: do it. You might hesitate at the cost at first sight, or you might have qualms if you have come across the guilt-inducing propaganda that opposes any form of sleep training. But the expertise that Little Dreams offers is sensitive, thorough, reliable, and quite truly life-changing. It will help your little one to thrive and will help you to recover the energy you need to be not only a great parent but a person in and of yourself. Parents have rights too! This genuinely is the greatest investment I have made.

I wrote to Fay when I was on the edge of despair after ten months of sleep deprivation. Lockdown had made things harder still as my husband and I had been trapped in a tiny one-bedroom flat, trying to work, while looking after our daughter. We had given in to various habits that appeal in the short term, in part because due to her being ill when she was tiny we were hyper-sensitive to any kind of crying or protest: our daughter co-slept with my husband (with me consigned to the sofa bed), we were still giving her night feeds (of which she would generally just take a few sips), we rushed in to comfort her at the teeniest whimper, and I deployed myriad tactics to lull her to sleep in my arms (rocking, singing, feeding her to sleep) before nervously placing her in her cot asleep. Every time she woke from a sleep cycle, therefore, she needed us to get her back to sleep, whether through rocking again or through my husband bringing her in to the bed with him. Our relationship was suffering badly. Things came to a head when my husband left us for two months to be with his parents in his native country. I moved to be with my parents but even with their help was barely surviving. My daughter was waking repeated times in the night and her mornings began as early at 4.30am.

What I wanted was expertise, understanding, and direction. Fay gave them all to me. She is wise, realistic, frank, and helpfully directive. She gave me what I needed: precise instructions on how to help my daughter learn to settle herself to sleep, using a gentle mode of sleep training. My stepfather was heroic in helping to implement the plan and we were primed potentially for protest the first night. What we got was five minutes of crying before my daughter slept through from 18:30 to 3am, unknown for us. At 3am, she needed my stepfather’s reassurance but then slept through until the morning. Since that first night, she has become a baby who sleeps through the night. She has also learned to nap in the daytime in her cot, where previously I was pacing the streets with her in her pram for hours. She is jollier, livelier, and more confident as she is finally getting the sleep she needs. To describe things as ‘life-changing’ is a cliche but cliches are rooted in truth.

If you are even thinking about employing Fay’s help, I can’t recommend her highly enough. The combination of lengthy initial consultation, phone calls, and email support works brilliantly, while I am addicted to the sleep spreadsheet that we worked with! I will be sure to return to her if/when we encounter any more problems with our daughter’s sleep in the future.

Rowan, mummy to 10 month old

From the first moment we spoke to Jenna, we felt very comfortable and had a really positive feeling that we were in good hands.

Jenna spent a lot of time explaining the plan and ensuring she had all the information she needed to help Eadie.

We noticed positive changes in Eadie's sleep from day 1 and by day 3 she slept through the night. Prior to this, Eadie was waking 2/3 times a night for milk. She now sleeps though the night and no longer needs night feeds or a dummy.

We can not thank Jenna enough for all that she has done for our family. We all get enough sleep now and find it much easier to function.

Lucy, Steve, Jessie (4 years) & Eadie (13 months)

When you’re a mum you feel as if you should have all the answers about your child because they are ‘your child’ but actually a really positive step you can take as a mum is to ask for help when you do really need it. Just when we thought our baby’s sleep should be getting better, it just got worse.

Jenna helped us when Arjun was 9 months olds. We felt in safe hands and have to say relieved that we were finally addressing Arjun’s poor sleep at night. Within 4 days he was sleeping through the night - we just couldn’t believe it! We really felt that with Jenna’s support we had taught Arjun his first major life skill, that is, to put himself to sleep.

Since working with Jenna, we have recommended her to so many of our friends and family. It so nice to finally get our evenings back!

Prior to working with Becky, I was very anxious and unable to carry on the way we were with regards to our inability to put our son in his cot for naps. Since working with Becky, the results have been excellent.

Whilst there is still some way to go for Ralph to become more consistent, we are in a much better place as a family. Things are calmer, more enjoyable and most importantly I now have time to spend with my toddler daughter and some time for my myself whilst Ralph sleeps in his cot during the day. I am far more relaxed and happier knowing that Ralph is able to sleep and I know what to do if he only has a short nap.

Having Becky always available by phone or email has helped my confidence and given me peace of mind that I can do it and I don’t need to panic! Thank you so much! We are so grateful!

Louise, Ben and Ralph (5 months)

I contacted Little Dreams Consulting after several months of night wakings and short erratic day naps- my little boy was restless and I was frazzled. I had followed their instagram account and picked up useful tips over the months, however I still could not put my finger on the problem.

Straight away Becky put us at ease and we realised just how many good habits and routines we already had in place that we could build on. Becky also helped me understand why my son was waking up and gave me a massive boost in confidence to manage future bumps in the road.

With a few tweaks and gentle guidance from Becky, I have seen a big transformation in my son’s sleep and we are a much happier (and well rested) household. I only wish I had contacted them sooner.

Mummy and Daddy to 10 month old

I now understand the phrase ‘sleep like a baby.’ From one very sleep deprived and desperate Mummy, my baby and I were simply surviving each day and night with the challenges of allergies and reflux, with no help or support during a pandemic. I was unable to lie my baby down due to reflux and so my breastfed baby was reliant on me to get her to sleep. With time and medicine her pain & reflux is controlled, but through my best efforts I still had a grizzly baby who although exhausted wouldn’t/couldn’t sleep. The glimmers of happiness on her little face were minimal.

My little one at 9 months relied on the pushchair (from when she was able to lie in it) for day time naps and nursed to sleep at bedtime, where she could wake up anywhere from 50mins-3 hours a night. I continued to feel exhausted, defeated & alone. It was soul destroying.

We reached out and thank goodness we found Jenna. Her confidence, understanding and knowledge has been invaluable. She never made judgement and her belief in us all as a family gave us strength.

I now have a happy thriving baby who is more than content in sleeping in her own nursery. There’s no battle or dread to nap and bedtime, and her sleepy signals are much easier to identify. Furthermore to my amazement, she doesn’t shout for me straight away upon waking. She enjoys a lie in after sleeps and it’s such a delight hearing her babbling away in her cot.

Jenna gave my hubby and I guidance and support so we could help our little one get the sleep her busy little mind and body need to develop. We cannot that her enough.

Thank you Jenna.

Lottie & baby Bella - 9 months old

Thank you Jenna! You've totally transformed Rocco's sleep. We've gone from him waking up multiple times a night to now waking just once. He now naps twice a day in his cot which was totally unheard of before we started working with you. Rocco was a bit of a challenge when we started the plan but you were there to help support and guide us. We are so thankful for all of your hard work and are all enjoying some sleep!

Hannah, Steve and Rocco (5 months old)

Working with Little Dreams has completely changed my life, and I’m not being over the top here. When we started working with Jenna I was depressed, exhausted beyond belief and thinking that I clearly cannot cope with motherhood. I honestly felt like a failure, especially hearing lots of ‘advice’ from new mum groups that poor sleep is ‘normal’ and you just need to get on with it and, God forbid, try any sort of sleep training. I’m so glad I decided to go ahead – in less than 2 weeks Helena was falling asleep by herself every night, waking up once or twice at night for a feed and then happily drifting back to sleep on her own! I started waking up in the morning RESTED! I almost forgot that feeling. And as slowly a nap routine is starting to emerge, I am finally looking forward to our days – I now know that each day I will have a little time to myself, which means that when little one is awake, I can devote 100% of my attention to her. I finally feel like I can do this motherhood thing!

Karolina, Michael and Helena (5 months old)

At 4.5 years old our daughter was waking 5+ times a night, having hour long meltdowns in the early hours, waking pre 5am most days, and we were sleeping in her bed most nights to placate her.

With a new baby to cope with too we decided to contact Jenna on a friend’s recommendation. In all honesty we were sceptical as we felt we’d tried everything and would just have to wait for her to ‘grow out of it’.

After chatting to Jenna for only 15 minutes I felt more confident she’d be able to help us. There were a lot of changes to be made, but 6 weeks on our daughter is now sleeping through the night around 4 nights out of 7, only waking perhaps once on the other nights. Because of her age we know we’ve still a little way to go, but we’re confident that we’ll get her sleeping through most nights if we keep at it.

Jenna is knowledgeable, friendly, thorough and has put so much effort into helping us. The changes she suggested all made total sense, but we’d never have thought to put them all together by ourselves. However, the best thing about Jenna’s service was the support she provided for us. If we’d had a bad night she helped us to unpick things, see the positives and support our daughter to move forward, rather than give up!

We would recommend Little Dreams to ANYONE with sleep issues. We can’t thank them enough for helping us.

Mummy and Daddy to 4.5 year old

We’re amazed by the progress we’ve made! I can’t tell you how much better it feels to be usually getting up at 6, rather than 5 or 4.30am. We feel like normal people again. Our son is so much happier during the day because we’re not stretching his wake windows in the same way and we have fewer fights at bedtime because he’s not overtired. It’s been a game changer and we’re so grateful

Mummy and Daddy to 10 month old

We had been considering getting help with Hari’s sleep for a while and after speaking to Jenna we knew that Little Dreams would be the best way to reclaim our sleep!

An informative and detailed call at the beginning with amazing continued support throughout the whole process meant we followed all the advice confidently and saw results straight away! At the end of our two weeks, we have got back our evenings and nights (from 2-3 hrly wake ups to once for a feed) and have even seen great improvements with daytime naps.

Hari still has the occasional day with short naps which used to be very frustrating, but we now have the tools to handle this and means it doesn’t take over the whole day. Our time with Jenna coincided with Lockdown and was perfectly timed.

Dare I say we enjoyed the whole process, seeing how well it was all working and how much happier Hari was in the day. Thank you!

Kate, Sam and Hari (4.5 months old)

We are so grateful to Fay for her help: our 14-month-old took all evening to get to sleep and then would be up every 1-2 hours, sometimes for hours at a time, in and out of our bed and then up at 5am. On our worst nights we were driving around in the car for hours trying to get him back to sleep. Fay’s plan was completely different to anything we’d tried before and it worked! The first few days were tough but it didn’t take long before we had our first whole night of sleep in 14 months. Fay was really supportive and adapted things as we went along. I never thought we’d be getting whole nights of sleep, we’re such a happier house for it and our little boy is thriving. We can’t recommend her enough and our only regret would be not getting her help sooner

Mummy and Daddy to 14 month old

We would wholeheartedly recommend Little Dreams to anyone struggling with their child’s sleep. Charlotte’s sleep had got progressively worse from 4 months, we initially put it down to sleep regression but it just kept getting worse. We had almost given up all hope of Charlotte ever sleeping well, and I was initially apprehensive as I just couldn’t see how things could improve. However, my sister had worked with Little Dreams previously and they had turned things around for her, so I eventually decided to contact them. Jenna was so reassuring, and gave us such a clear and easy to follow plan. From the initial consultation, to the follow up phone calls and email advice, I felt comfortable and supported throughout the process. Amazingly, we saw positive results from night 1. Previously, naps and bedtime were a battle, and we had countless wake ups each night. We are now able to put Charlotte down in her own room without fuss, and she only wakes for essential feeds. A clear, yet flexible routine, means I know where I am each day. We are all much happier, my husband and I are getting more sleep and we have our evenings to ourselves. My only regret is that we didn’t do this sooner!

Tamsin, Tom and Charlotte (5 months old)

We would 100% recommend working with Fay if your baby is a poor sleeper. Our son went from waking up every 1-2 hours, and only napping in the pram, to sleeping all night with two good naps in the cot. The best money we have ever spent! When our two weeks were over we felt more confident in managing our son’s sleep. If he has a bad nap we know how to handle it so the night sleep isn’t affected. Fay supported us all the way! We are a few months down the line now and he is still sleeping all night!

Katie, Andy and Henry (6 months old)

I've been meaning to leave a review for some weeks now but have been too busy enjoying the new found sleep we're all getting 😁 Fay helped us to achieve so much with our 14 month old little man and he's just gone from strength to strength since. We managed to get him out of our bed, sleeping through the night in his own bed for 10 hours at a time, self settling at night, no more dummy, no more bottle, no more night feeds... all in 2 weeks, whilst battling a cold and fireworks! Infact, the little man who used to only be able to nap on us can fall asleep anywhere! Fay was patient with us, answered all of our questions, understood our needs and gave us the support and reassurance we needed to make the change happen! Really cannot recommend Little Dreams enough and we will certainly be back (if necessary) with baby number 2!

Andy and Sophie (parents to 14 month old)

We couldn’t recommend Little Dreams Consulting enough! We went from a 5 month old waking up 5-6 times a night to sleeping through in just 3 weeks! Jenna was a great support and provided such a detailed an easy to follow programme - it took all the thinking and guesswork away and allowed us to focus on our baby and his sleep.

The programme was very gentle and I never once felt like we needed to leave our baby to cry to sleep.. In fact, I think he really enjoyed the new schedule and certainly was a lot happier with all the sleep he was getting! I noticed that his sitting and rolling immediately improved probably due to all the rest he was able to get! Our family is so much more content now, thanks Jenna!

Rebecca, Alastair and James (5 months old)

We cannot thank Fay enough, since the plan we honestly can’t even remember how things were beforehand. She has completely transformed our family life for the better, not only is the little one more content now with the amount of sleep he gets but so are we and not having to feed to sleep or sit and pat until he falls asleep is just amazing. Even our parents can’t believe how quickly he picked up these skills and that he is continuing to use them.

Jagruti and Nikhil (parents to 19 month old)

We were confident in choosing Little Dreams for help with our 10 month old Jack’s sleep, having had wonderful results with our now 3 year old who sleeps brilliantly. Jenna’s amazing guidance allowed us to also achieve fantastic sleep with Jack. He now goes down for naps in his cot very easily and sleeps well Jenna goes above and beyond for every client and you really couldn’t ask for more. Thank you Jenna

Graham, Amy and Jack (10 months old)

Thank you so much for your help getting us on track with Zak and his sleeping – your service really is a life saver – we were sceptical at first as we just couldn’t imagine what we could do that would make a difference and make Zak sleep! Even at the end of our zoom call I was thinking I just can’t see him sleeping but it was like magic … I can’t actually believe where we are now compared to where we were 2 weeks ago …. I just wish I’d contacted you sooner.
Zak is now a fantastic sleeper and one of the nice things from this process, apart from the sleep, is Zak has started to love spending time in his crib. He is actually most of the time happy to go in the crib now - he actually looks pleased when I put him down and smiles and snuggles into the mattress. Such a massive change from where we started when he screamed soon as he touched the mattress! He’s happier and we are too – we have our life back! To say your service is value for money would be the understatement of the century! What a difference 2 weeks can make with the right help!

Matt, Amanda and Zak (10 months old)

We contacted Jenna when our little boy was around 7 months old. Naps were 20 minutes at best and whilst night times were not horrendous Finlay was being nursed to sleep and up a few times in the night.
Within a few days he was settling himself and after the two week dedicated period we could not believe how simple things had become. We did not push for Finlay to sleep through the night initially but a few weeks later followed the guidance Jenna had left us with and after just two nights we had a very restful 11 hours.
I cannot recommend highly enough. Whilst it was tough at times we felt supported the whole way though and certainly never felt judged. Working with Jenna improved so much for our family and we are very grateful.

Jo, Dan and Finlay (6 months old)

My partner and I were recommended to contact Jenna when we got to a stage where our baby's sleep (or lack of) was starting to affect our daily life and work. We'd thought about finding a sleep coach before but put it off because we kept being told by friends and family "it won't last forever" or "she'll grow out of it". But by the time Poppy got to 7 months old she was sleeping worse than ever and had such a strong association with being fed to sleep that she didn't know how to go to sleep without it. I was exhausted!

We were worried about starting the plan and had prepared ourselves for hours of crying but were so surprised. Jenna had told us we'd notice a difference within 3 days or so but we were very apprehensive as Poppy is so stubborn however we noticed a huge difference from night 1! Fast forward 2 weeks and it's like we have a new baby! She's so much happier and is thriving developmentally. The whole family has so much more patience and everyone is getting a full night's sleep.

The personalised plan, reassuring calls, live sleep logs, next steps document and general support we've received from Jenna has been totally priceless. We honestly couldn't recommend her enough, she's amazing at what she does

Hannah, Michael and Poppy (7 months old)

We approached Little Dreams in August 2020 when our daughter was 7 months and sleeping very poorly in the night. A typical night involved her getting up 2-3 times where either me or my husband had to pacify her back to sleep using mostly a feed.

It had been 7 months of poor sleep for her as well as us and I was close to exhaustion. I was feeling hopeless and depressed that our daughter’s sleep was never going to improve. I was dreading going back to work.

The very first time I asked for a 15 minute free consult I was connected to Fay. In those 15 minutes I was convinced that I was going to use their services. Fay was attentive to my problem and instead of wasting time selling her organization she told me quick tips to improve our girl’s sleep. I was impressed and decided to book an appointment. With those tips our baby’s sleep improved but needed work as she was dependent on her swaddle and dummy for sleeping.

We were connected to Jenna for our main consult. Jenna guided us through each step so well that I felt this huge burden lifted off my shoulders. Having constantly worried about Raadha’s sleep for the last many months I felt relieved. Jenna was very supportive and empathetic throughout.

I am not kidding when I say our daughter started sleeping through the night from Day 3! I thought it was a fluke but it went on like that night after night and slowly her naps fell right into place.

My husband and I finally got a full night’s sleep after months! I couldn’t believe it was happening.

Raadha’s development after sleeping better just dramatically improved. She was much happier during the day and less cranky. There has been a 180 degree turn in our lives and I owe it to the sleep program. Most important part played by Little Dreams is the support, without which one can feel clueless. I recommend this program to each and everyone. I am going to miss working with Jenna and Fay.

The sleep program is scientific, effective, literally life saving and benefits the entire family as a whole.

Apurva, Swati and Raadha (7months old)

During lockdown, our once brilliant 4 year old sleeper gradually stopped sleeping through the night. Not only was bedtime proving very tricky, but she began waking every 2-3 hours at night. I made a desperate call to Jenna after a recommendation, and she immediately put me at ease. She spent time talking to me about Emilia and getting a bit of background before deciding on the best way forward.

I was quite apprehensive and anxious when Jenna explained the process. Emilia had slept in her own room since she was 4 months old, so to begin staying with her until she fell asleep at the start of the process felt a little backwards however, we stuck to the routine and plan. 3 weeks later, the progress Emilia made was incredible. Small tweeks here and there, and with Jenna only a phone call/email away, we felt supported and at ease after every conversation. Thank you for all your help, advice and support. I can now go to sleep without dreading the night! Certainly money well spent.

Ana, Darryl and Emilia (4 years old)

Following a recommendation from a friend, we contacted Fay about our 9.5 month old boy. We had mastered “putting him down awake” at bedtime, but he still woke up during the night almost every night! We also used a dummy when he woke during the night and for naps. We had tried “crying it out” during the night on two separate occasions but it hadn’t worked and it was a horrible experience for us all, which had left us feeling deflated and unsure of what to do next. We had our initial Skype call with Fay and she was fantastic – direct but understanding, and more importantly very clear. She talked us through a detailed plan for our son but also answered all of the questions we had, not just on sleep but also on food/mealtimes and how to deal with our older child whilst implementing the sleep plan. We made some initial changes straight away but waited until the weekend before implementing the plan fully and to our amazement, our son slept through that night and has done ever since! The dummies have gone too. There was of course a bit of protest at the beginning but it was not nearly as bad as I was fearing. Our son is also now less whingy during the day and we put this down to him being more rested. We are all much happier since we contacted Fay, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her.!

Mummy and Daddy to 9.5 month old

We were in a pretty dark place before we came to Jenna for support. We’d had a rough first two years with Sam, who was struggling with reflux and CMPA – and when we started weaning him, things only got worse, because it turned out he could barely tolerate any solid food. Sleep was a distant memory, and whilst we’d been prepared for a ‘tough’ introduction to parenthood, we were in no way ready for the fact that as a baby, he was unable to lie flat, wanted to feed 24/7 and would only sleep for a couple of hours at a time. He’d cried pretty much continually for the first six months, and I don’t think we were able to see through the funk until around his first birthday.

Returning to work at a secondary school, I was used to teaching four days a week on between two and four hours of sleep a night – Sam and I had been co-sleeping for over a year (Sam’s gut was worse at night, and he seemed to just want to feed through his discomfort, which was exhausting!). I’m not quite sure how I was functioning: I’d lost so much weight, regularly broke down in tears and was still breastfeeding by the time Sam was two, as his gut was still so sensitive.

We started with Jenna at around five months, but had to put the sleep support on hold until Sam’s gut problems had settled – and by the time he was two, I’d not had a night’s sleep, and had become used to just surviving on empty. So when we picked up the phone to her again, I was nervous as I didn’t think I was strong enough to face what I thought was going to be a battle.

But it wasn’t a battle. We just needed guidance, and we were able to understand how there were things we were doing that we needed to change. There were protests, but we had to commit to making the change for the better. Each night, it got a little bit better and within a couple of weeks, life had changed. Sam was sleeping, we were sleeping (in the same bed!) – and I look back and wonder how on earth we’d coped for so long. And the best bit was that I didn’t, at any point, leave him to cry – that was something I wouldn’t have been able to manage.

Jenna completely understood us and the challenges we’d been facing. She knew when it was the right time to make changes, and stayed in touch with us until we were able to move forwards. She was able to see where we were going wrong and helped us correct things that needed correcting – but without judgement, and so very gently. We absolutely couldn’t have done it without her.

Two months after Sam started sleeping through, I was pregnant again. Jenna’s number will be on speed-dial. Thank you, Jenna.

Fiona, Jon and Sam (2 years old)

Our nearly 2 year old daughter had suddenly stopped sleeping well. Me and my husband tried lots of different ways to try and help her sleep through – mainly things recommended by google! However we miserably failed. We lost our evenings together and most nights, she was in our bed! We looked into lots of different sleep consultants, but when I spoke to Jenna, I knew she was the right choice for us. We loved her holistic and detailed approach. When we started the sleep training we were both blown away by her supportive nature. And now, we have a 2 year old that is sleeping at 7pm (in her cot)and sleeps for 12 uninterrupted hours!!!! We are eternally grateful for your help and support. You’ve given us our life back. Thank you.

Divya, Naveen and Anoushka (2 years old)

I couldn’t recommend Little Dreams Consulting enough. We went from my baby waking up 5-6 times every night to sleeping through by the third night of the programme. Fay has been on hand for additional advice as we have moved through the two weeks and beyond. My baby has just started sitting up independently from a crawl and I think it is due to all the extra rest he is getting!

Mummy and Daddy to 7 month old

My partner and I enlisted the help of Little Dreams Consulting when our son was six months old. He was waking every 45 minutes throughout the night to breastfeed and got easily overtired during the day but would only nap on the move. I was walking almost 10km a day so that he would nap and as bedtimes and night wakings fell exclusively to me I was exhausted, emotional and finding it difficult to enjoy life. Having heard Jenna on a podcast I called her for an initial chat and felt reassured that they would be able to help. We started working with Fay, and within a few days of implementing the plan Milo was going to sleep in the cot without protest within a few minutes of being put down for both naps and at bedtime and was only waking once or twice a night for a feed. From the start, Fay encouraged my partner and I to share bedtimes and wake-ups so that the burden didn’t always fall to me, which felt like a huge weight was lifted from my shoulders. Throughout the process Fay was reassuring and quick to respond to any concerns we had, and she was an absolute delight to work with. It felt like a lot of money to spend at the time but it has genuinely made such a difference to our little family, I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Little Dreams and have already passed their names on to a couple of other mum friends.

Mummy and Daddy to Milo (6 months old)

We weren’t sure how successful the programme would be because our child is a bit older and therefore the bad sleep habits were a bit more embedded. I’m delighted to say that after just 3 weeks (having endured some good times and some really tough times) we seem to have cracked it! Our child now settles down to bed at night with no fuss and stays in their own bed all night too. The whole household is now getting proper sleep. Working with Fay has been great and worth every penny! I would highly recommend the Little Dreams team.

Mummy and Daddy to 9 year old

Little Dreams Consulting has changed our lives and I’m so grateful we met Jenna! In fact I get quite emotional when I think about how different things are now to what they were sleep wise!

Our little one had never really recovered from the 4 month regression (which seemed to have started early for him too!). He was an hourly waker from when he was put to bed all the way through the night and couldn’t sleep without being fed to sleep by myself as well as having a dummy. After nearly three months of this I was beginning to struggle to enjoy the days as I was so tired after never getting any rest overnight and I also wanted to make sure he was also getting the rest he deserved whilst so much was going on developmentally for him. Day Naps were also so unpredictable and never more than 30 mins!

Jenna supported us every step of the way. It started with a clear and comprehensive plan and very hands on telephone and email support. The biggest plus for me was that the approach was very logical, supportive and gentle and helped him learn how to fall asleep independently. His sleep changed pretty much straight away and honestly to watch him on the monitor sleep for long stretches and wake up happy and content playing in his cot rather than tired and frustrated that he can’t get back to sleep without some help from me makes me so so happy! And this was done in the middle of a huge developmental milestone for him (rolling) and the dreaded teething so this gives me the confidence for when he starts to crawl and hit other milestones. Thank you again Jenna, the best money I have EVER spent!

Mummy and Daddy to 6 month old

When we first contacted you our son was 14 months old, bedtime was a massive scream fest and we were in and out of his room every two hours throughout the night as he was waking up screaming at the top of his lungs. We had tried various changes to routine to try and improve things but nothing had worked significantly. We were about to reluctantly act on the advice of all our well meaning relatives and “just leave him to cry” but we really felt there was more to the problem than that, so as a last ditch attempt we contacted you in the hope there was another option.

When you presented us with the plan we were a little skeptical as it didn’t look that different to what we were already doing, we were pretty nervous the first evening at the thought of sitting through the hours of crying we were imaging. It couldn’t have gone more differently. For the first time ever there were no bedtime tears. He did wake up a couple of times overnight, had a little moan then got himself back to sleep. Within a few days he was sleeping through the night. It was incredible, we were finally getting some sleep, he was clearly happier. Most of all it was great to feel like we were communicating effectively with him at bedtime, he understood what was happening and was happy. It was such a positive experience.

It’s now been two years and it’s been two years of excellent sleep (for my son, we’ve had another baby in that time!). As you would expect there have been a few wobbles but by going back to the original plan, spotting what we have let slip and gently correcting it they have been easy to overcome. We said at the time it was the best money we had ever spent, and that has only become more true over time. We recommend you to everyone and wont hesitate to ask for your help again if we struggle with our second child. So thanks again, your help really did make a massive difference to our lives.

Mummy and Daddy to 14 month old

We spoke with a number of sleep consultants for our 10 month old before choosing Little Dreams Consulting. I had tried all of the gentle sleep practices since he was 4 months old which worked in part but didn’t solve the bit where he was able to put himself back to sleep without us. As our baby approached the 10 month mark I realised that with going back to work in a couple of months I wouldn’t be able to handle multiple night wakes and trying to be professional with clients!

Our key challenges were around putting our baby to sleep (rocking or holding) and his night wakes (2-4 wakes with two breast feeds). I was desperately uncomfortable with the idea of our baby crying. Which meant that as soon as he was emotionally uneasy, he would have our support to fall back to sleep. Jenna supported us gently and carefully. She listened to my concerns, validated my emotions and worked with us on a plan so that our baby would have better sleep by learning how to do it himself.

He ended up sleeping through on the third night which blew our minds. The most important part of this process was having a professional sleep consultant reassure us that our baby’s behaviour was normal. We are now 3 months on from the start of our sleep training and our baby is still sleeping through the night and naps well. He had a hiccup at nursery as he adjusted to napping in a new and noisy environment, but within a few weeks he happily sleeps there as well. Working with Jenna has given me my life back. I don’t dread how many times I will be up in the night anymore. I am so grateful for the help provided and cannot recommend Little Dreams Consulting highly enough.

Mummy and Daddy to 10 month old

Jenna helped us when we were at rock bottom after 9 months of very little sleep. My daughter would only feed to sleep so every hour she woke in the night and wouldn't self settle, i had to get up 6-8 times every night before she woke my toddler and husband too! She was getting such little sleep that i was starting to get very concerned about the effect of this on her as well as how it was affecting my own mental health and ability to function and cope. It also made naps really hard as she would only feed to sleep, i had to wait until she was in a deep sleep then transition her to her cot. Her bad sleep patterns were taking over our lives! Jenna's sensitive, supportive approach made the world of difference at a time when i felt very broken! She was kind, thoughtful, considerate and came up with a fantastic bespoke plan that worked from day 1! The results still gobsmack me, the changes Jenna helped us bring about have made the most enormous positive difference to our lives. Thank you so much!!!! I can't recommend your services enough. If you're like I was and wondering if things will just sort themselves out, really question what habits you've gotten into with your child as if they're established you will likely need some help to break them. Don't wait any longer, you deserve sleep!!

Jen, Tom and Grace (9 months)

An incredible help with our 11 month old who was waking up 4-6 times a night, wouldn’t fall asleep without being fed or rocked (in multiple ways – doing hundreds of laps of the bedroom in the process!), with a dummy and is now able to go to sleep SO much easier and only waking up once a night on average (and we’re not even a month since starting so this is likely to improve even more.) We are ALL a lot happier for it as we are all getting so much more sleep now! The support and knowledge Jenna gave us throughout the process was fantastic – a complete game changer for us – couldn’t recommend more if you’re having difficulty nights and are in need of help!

Sarah and Kev (Mummy and Daddy to 11 month old)

We live in Kenya with our two year daughter ( Harriet ) and our five month old daughter ( Eliza). I contacted Jenna, having listened to her on the Parenthood Podcast; I was beyond exhausted with Eliza waking up 6/7 times a night. Within the first week, after our consultation with Jenna, I had moved back into our room ( which I had wanted to do as I was sleeping in her room) and Eliza was only waking up once if not at all. She is much better at settling herself to sleep and she goes to sleep even if it is still light outside. I did not want to have to go down the route of black out curtains , but to keep it as real as possible to where we live .Jenna gave Seb and I the confidence we needed to follow our instincts and now Eliza is sleeping better the girls can start sharing a room , which is so exciting. Thank you so much, we had such great support and it was a very quick turnaround for us.

Lucy, Seb and Eliza (5 months old)

When we contacted Jenna our baby boy found it incredibly hard to sleep. It could take up to 2 hours of bouncing, feeding, sushing, rocking, anything we could think of, to get him down for the night and he would often spend most of that time crying. Then he would sleep for 2-4 hours in a bedside cot before waking every 1-2 hours for the rest of the night and the only way to get him back to sleep was to breastfeed until he fell asleep again. The ‘routine’ to get him to nap was the same. We were desperate, trying to get him to sleep took up a good portion of everyday, but he wasn’t staying asleep long enough to get the hours he needed (and nor were we!!). I was very anxious about the process, I had read a lot about different sleep techniques and found the advice online came with a lot of judgement that left me feeling incredibly guilty whatever we tried. Jenna was extremely patient and talked me through all of the research and evidence to help me decide what I wanted to do. She was never pushy about encouraging us to use her services and we actually had 3 phone calls to discuss whether it was right for us before we committed to using Little Dreams. The process was not painless for us, the first few nights involved a lot of crying, which I found very difficult, but we were not asked to ignore his cries and one of us was able to stay to comfort him. Even from the first night our baby slept 11.5 hours in his own room with only one wake to feed. He now does that every night and we usually have to wake him in the morning so he doesn’t oversleep! He has 3 naps every day and generally gets himself to sleep in 10-15 minutes with very little fuss. The impact on our family has been huge; we have structure to our day now and our time no longer revolves around sleep. We no longer get a sense of dread and panic in the run up to bedtime, in fact bedtime is now a really lovely experience. Our little boy loves his bedtime books, so we get lots of smiles and cuddles before we put him down in his cot, calm and ready to sleep. The family dynamics have improved all around and we have a much happier household as a result.

Mummy and Daddy to 5 month old

We can’t thank Jenna enough! Our son is coming up to 3 years old and would not even go into his bedroom to play, never mind sleep! He cried every night wanting to sleep in Mummy’s bed so that’s what happened! After following all advice from Jenna, he will now fall asleep on his own in his own room and sleep through to the morning with no wake ups! Our whole dynamic at home has changed for the better

Mummy and Daddy to 2.5 year old

We used to dread nights with our 10 month old twins tag teaming us-up every 1-2 hours overnight and only settling with feeding or sleeping on us. We were exhausted. Jenna gave us comprehensive sleep plans to follow and was always at the end of the phone or email to guide us through it. Now our twins settle themselves to sleep in their cots. One twin sleeps through and the smaller twin just wakes for 2 feeds overnight. They also nap for longer and at the same time during the day so I have time to get my chores done. It has been life changing and the best money we ever spent!

Mummy and Daddy to 10 month old twins

Jenna is a miracle worker! Our 5-year old had the works – not going to sleep for hours, waking up in the middle of the night and waking us up really early. We thought we’d tried everything but Jenna gave us a brilliant plan for us all to work to. What we loved was how she involved our daughter in the process so that she felt she had ownership over what was happening. We heartily recommend Jenna and our only regret is that we didn’t call her years ago!

Mummy and Daddy to 5 year old

At the time of reaching out to Little Dreams we were at our wits end as to why our son (who had previously been a great sleeper) no longer slept very well. We noticed that he never really recovered from the four month sleep regresssion. When we finally decided to seek support, we were getting up to pop his dummy back in up to 8/9 times a night. Both my husband and I were exhausted as just couldn’t get Rupert to sleep any longer than 2 hour stretches sometimes just 45 mins. Just one day into the plan Rupert slept from 7pm – 4:30am, unheard of this household so we knew instantly that we had made the right decision. Fay was so helpful, empathetic and a great listener, even when I felt i was perhaps asking too many silly questions. The plan was easy to follow and whilst for the first couple of days you do need a lot of patience as sometimes these babies throw curveballs at you, you know that your phone call with Little Dreams will answer your question so you’re armed to tackle it when it happens again! We now have a much happier baby as he is getting consolidated sleep both during the day and the night. There are also two much happier, less sleep deprived parents who are now enjoying parenthood even more! If you are considering seeking support, then look no further. I can’t thank them enough!.

Louise, Lloyd and Rupert (6 months old)

My 9 month old was a good napper but I was struggling to get him to drop the night feeds. My husband and I had tried controlled crying previously but after some initial success we had fallen back to old habits. My husband was away for a prolonged period and with my return to work looming I wanted to get the issue sorted and felt that I need some moral support so I contacted Little Dreams. Fay has been wonderful. She is very friendly, but also very professional. I was initially reluctant to try some of her suggestions regarding changing naptimes, but I am so glad I did as she was totally right. Fin now consistently sleeps through the night, and it only took a few nights with much less crying than I had anticipated. Now that he is sleeping better at night he has made a big jump in his development. Don’t put it off! Get the sleep sorted now as it will make such a big difference to your baby and your family.

Rachel & Finley (9 months old)

In truth, the work that you have helped us with has been completely life changing! We have our evenings back and both boys are happier as there is not the disruption and stress that we used to have at bedtime EVERY evening! Bedtimes are so much calmer and everyone is getting the right amount of sleep. I have already recommended you to a family at school as they are having similar sleep issues. I feel really confident that you would be able to help them too. Thank you, Jenna, for your professional, yet very human and empathetic service that you provide.

Lara and Steve (parents to 6 year old)

At eleven months my daughter had to be rocked to sleep and would often be awake between 1-3am or would only sleep in someone’s arms at that time. I had tried sleep-training her at 6 months using a different method to Fay’s, which had worked brilliantly with my first child but simply didn’t help this time round. I was unsure about trying a new method but having Fay’s support online and on the phone gave me the confidence to try again and my daughter responded very quickly. Within a few days we were getting much more sleep and after a week she was going to bed with almost no protest and sleeping for up to 11 hours. We’re still working on naps, but the change has been dramatic. I was already a convert to sleep training but I now realise that different babies respond to different methods and it’s worth trying a new approach if the first one doesn’t work.

Mummy to 11 month old

When we started this process my husband and I were sceptical but desperate. Our son would only go to sleep whilst feeding and would wake as soon as he was put in his cot, often ending in bed with us as the night and the sleep deprivation wore on. I would go to bed with him at 7.30 having to rush our evening meal and having no quality family time. Even then I was only getting a few hours of sleep a night, he would also only nap on me in the day, I was utterly exhausted. Jenna and Fay were encouraging and thorough with their information and support and although we started with a few hiccups they really couldn’t have been more helpful. We honestly felt them going along this journey with us! There is no magic wand waving but sensible, well researched advice and having the back up on the end of the phone or email meant so much. The change we have seen after completing this process is immense, our son now goes to bed at 6.30 (on his own!) and (apart from occasional, quick wakings and feeds) now sleeps until morning. We have got our quality time as a family back, we can eat unrushed meals and even catch up on some telly. I would thoroughly recommend Little Dreams to anyone in a similar situation to us!

Jenny, Tom and Joseph (8 months old)

Before we met Jenna, our daughter would only nap on the go (in the sling) which meant I would spend hours each day walking the streets or pacing around the living room. The days were tough and the nights were worse. At night, I would go to bed with her at 7:30pm and feed her every hour some nights. She was emotional during the day because she was running on adrenaline – so was I. Jenna changed all of that within a few days with her sensible plan and phone calls of support. The plan helped us to teach our daughter to sleep independently in a gentle way – we were by her side every step of the way supporting her to learn this very important skill. The first couple of nights and days were tough but, after that, the improvement was unbelievable. She now sleeps beautifully in her cot both night and day and when she wakes up for a feed at night she goes back to sleep peacefully. As a result, she is a much happier baby and I’m a much happier mummy. Thank you Jenna for all of your support!

Chris, Kirstie and March (4.5 months old)

Little Dreams have really revolutionised everyone’s sleep in our house. When our little one was 13 months old he was waking up multiple times during the night for bottles, being held to sleep and using a dummy for all sleeps. Although it wasn’t an easy task, Fay’s advice and support has resulted in him sleeping through the night more often than not and being able to self settle if he wakes. Previously we would have been up with him for hours! He now goes to sleep by himself, without a dummy and has no milk during the night. Thank you so much Fay 🙂

Claire, Niran and Henry (13 months old)

It wasn’t easy seeking support but I am so glad we did! We were barely sleeping- taking our little one out in the car and pram in the middle of the night to get her to sleep. Jenna has been hugely supportive, always responding to emails and up for a chat whenever. Thank you Jenna!

Mummy and Daddy to 16 month old

I am sending you this email to say “thank you from the bottom of my heart.” Imogen’s sleep has turned around in less than 2 weeks. We have gone from having a baby reliant on a dummy or food to sleep and waking several times during the evening and night, to one who has no food overnight and is sleeping all night. You have literally changed our lives and Imogen is so happy about it, I just felt compelled to thank you even before 2 weeks are up! I am so glad I contacted you when I did and I have been telling anyone who will listen about you! Thanks again!

Lorna, Luke and Imogen (5 months old)

When we contacted Little Dreams Charlie’s main issues included not being able to self sooth, and night wakes. He would sleep on me at bedtime so I could make sure he stayed asleep before I transferred him into his cot. Then the night wakes began! We found Jenna very helpful whilst we were working together, we contacted her many times, and always had a very helpful response. We feel we received a very high level of support which was greatly appreciated. Charlie goes up to bed in his cot now, and is not asleep on me, we have our evenings back and everybody is much happier! We had a superb service from Little Dreams and will thoroughly recommend.

Emily, Rich and Charlie (5 months old)

Ella has been transformed into a new baby! She was feeding almost every hour at one point, and I was walking miles in the rain with her to make her nap in the pram. I was exhausted, which was when we sought help. She now sleeps through the night with no feeding or even wakes, and takes her naps in the cot, and all without ‘crying it out’. When Fay described at the start what we were aiming for I think I actually laughed out of disbelief – but it’s happened and is better than I could have ever imagined or hoped for. This is quite literally the BEST money I’ve ever spent! We have our evenings back, we get to spend time together as a couple again and Ella is a lot happier now she’s getting the sleep she needs – thank you Fay!

Becca, Matt and Ella (7 months old)

We were really struggling with both day naps and night sleeps: our daughter was waking every hour during the night over a very long period of time. Fay was incredibly supportive and within two weeks completely transformed our daughter’s sleep pattern and, in turn, our lives! The structures Fay put in place and the guidance given on a daily basis empowered us to take back control of the situation and we can’t thank Fay enough.

Mummy and Daddy to 7 month old

Despite our best efforts, we had fallen into all sorts of bad sleep habits with our 4.5 month old daughter – feeding to sleep, rocking to sleep and all daytime naps “on the go”. At its worse, we were waking up every 45 minutes during the night and both she and us were exhausted during the day. Sarah even started to look forward to going back to work for the break! We had ordered countless sleep books from Amazon in the middle of the night out of desperation but struggled to find time to read them and, when we did manage to flick through them, we didn’t really understand how to implement the advice in practice and how to respond when things went wrong. Fay’s overnight package was therefore perfect for us. We had real-time coaching from Fay to deal with the wake-ups and how best to react to our daughter’s behaviour – her insights were great. The overnight package also gave us much confidence going forwards and it was well worth the money. We also felt very comfortable having Fay in our home overnight – no awkwardness at all! We were so impressed with the guidance and support from Fay and the fact that we saw results so quickly, both with our daughter’s night time sleep and her daytime naps. She really thrives on her new routine and, as her sleep has settled, her feeding has become much more consistent – no more frustrating “snacking” and half wasted bottles! As a result, we no longer dread the nights and the daytime is much easier as we can anticipate her needs and there are no longer any overtired tantrums and red-faced parents! Whilst the sleep plan required discipline and commitment, Fay was with us at every step and we are hugely grateful for her help. Thank you so much, Fay!

Sarah and Howard (parents to 8 month old)

Before contacting Jenna, we were really struggling to get my son down at bedtime and spent the evening running up and down stairs to settle him. At 4 months, he suddenly started to wake up every hour during the night and was very difficult to settle in his cot. After speaking with Jenna, she created a comprehensive sleep plan for our son which she supported us to implement. It made a huge difference almost straight away and it felt so good having some clear principles to follow. Our son is now only waking for one feed in the night and naps well during the day in his cot. I can’t recommend Jenna highly enough!

Mummy and Daddy to 4.5 month old

Like so many parents, when we first contacted Jenna, we were desperate and exhausted. Our 2 year old who was once a brilliant sleeper now would not go to bed without having one of us stay with her for hours until she fell asleep. Staying in her bed during the night was another challenge altogether. Jenna helped us so much with the practical aspects of improving our little girls sleep, but also gave us the confidence and ability to deal with challenges` to come. She tailored a sleep plan for Inaya and was contactable every step of the way. I cannot recommend her enough and only wish we had contacted her earlier. We can see huge improvements not only in Inaya’s sleep but also in her confidence and independence using all the colourful charts that Jenna made for her. We now have our evenings back and cannot thank her enough! You really have changed our lives.

Amna, Nasir and Inaya (2 years old)

2019

When we decided to contact Little Dreams, we were at the point where sleep for our 15 month old daughter was a nightmare! Putting her down could take a long time, she would not self soothe, would only sleep in our bed and was waking multiple times! We were all shattered. Fay was great. We were a little nervous about it working but after meeting and being reassured by Fay, we felt positive about the process. Within nights of following the personalised sleep plan, she was sleeping through the night in her cot and had learnt to self settle. When she does now wake, she is able to take herself back to sleep. The progress is amazing and we now have some time for us in the evenings! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Fay. The follow up emails, phone calls really helped us as well knowing that someone was there to answer questions.Thank you!

Rachel and Chris, parents to 15 month old

Working with Fay has been a great help with improving our sons sleep. Theo (aged 8 months) was waking 4-10 times a night, napping poorly and was subsequently tired and grumpy during the day. Within 2 weeks, we are down to 1 night wake for a feed and have consolidated his sleep into 2 good naps a day. We are all happier and healthier as a consequence. The process was smooth, and just felt like making minor tweaks to our routine to optimize things for Theo. Fay was excellent at explaining everything, was available to discuss the progress and troubleshoot any problems as needed. Her email responses were amazingly comprehensive and helpful. I now feel I have a much better understanding of Theo’s sleep needs and how to keep us all getting enough rest going forward!

Liz, Chris and Theo (8 months old)

It’s been an absolute pleasure working with Jenna. From the start she made us feel really confident that she could help and having her on hand to answer questions throughout the 2 week plan was invaluable. Our 7 month old was constantly waking at night, sometimes 15-20 times and he’d been doing this since he was about 4 months old. We’d got ourselves in a position where we’d have to rock him to sleep in our arms and then try and lay him down and hope he didn’t stir. We’d then be constantly going back in to his room to put his dummy back in when he woke up. After starting the sleep plan, the difference in just a couple of nights was incredible. We were most nervous about getting rid of his dummy, but he coped so well and we’ve never looked back. Our only regret is that we didn’t speak to Jenna sooner!

Genevive, James and Joel (7 months old)

Working with Fay was fantastic. After spending 18 months with a child who woke between 5-8 times every night and needed feeding or rocking back to sleep, we were exhausted, desperate but also a little sceptical that anyone could change this routine we had got ourselves in. Fay was upfront and honest from the start as to what we could expect, she guided us through the process with ease and was incredibly lovely and helpful throughout. After only a few days we had a child who was sleeping through the night. After a week we had a child who independently put herself to sleep for naps and bedtime with no fuss or distress. She was happier and we were happier and everyone is getting enough sleep. Thank you Fay.

Mummy and Daddy to 18 month old

We’d been waiting for our 5-year old daughter, Nell to start sleeping through the night of her own accord. Having tried and failed to settle her in her own bed over the years we’d just got into the routine of letting her come into our bed in the middle of the night and couldn’t find a way to change it. We called Jenna and she immediately gave us an insight into what might be prohibiting her from settling herself and she presented us with a really achievable sleep plan. Undoubtedly the greatest benefit was having Jenna as a third party to talk to Nell about the benefits of sleeping in her own bed and giving her the motivation to do it. Nell responded really well to Jenna and the consistent communication meant Nell’s motivation was sustained long enough to break the habit. We came up against very few hurdles, which shows that Nell was more than ready to sleep solo – she just needed someone other than her parents to convince her of this! We have all been enjoying uninterrupted sleep for the first time in 5-years…Thank you Jenna – you really are a sleep star

Kate, Michael and Nell (5 years old)

I can’t recommend Fay and Little Dreams enough! I presented with a challenge, a 2 year old who needed cuddling to sleep and always ended up in our bed, a 5 month old who was always fed to sleep and a husband who works away all week! My baby was a dream and cracked it after a week, but my toddler took longer as expected. It was incredibly difficult at first, and we hit a lot of set backs on the way, but Fay was so supportive and never let me give up. I am so glad I kept consistent, as I now have a baby that sleeps from 6 30 til 6 with only 1 wake up for breastfeeding, and a toddler who sleeps from 6 45 to 6 with no wake ups! Even if they do wake up, they are now able to self settle. Best thing I have ever done!

Maddy, mum to Harry 2 years old and Freya 5 months old

A very very big thank you Fay for all your advice and tips over the past 2 weeks!! We can’t believe the difference in Conner’s sleep in such a short space of time. Contacting you really is the best thing I’ve done as you’ve transformed Conner’s sleep and feeding habits and of course that has knocked on with more sleep for us too, win win!!! We now feel equipped to make good decisions about Conner’s sleep and feeding so we will keep implementing your advice as we move forward through weaning and moving Conner to his own room. Your plan and advice sheets are my bible. Thank you so so much once again.

Beth, Riaan and Conner (5 months old)

As a solo parent, being able to be present and engage well with my seven-month-old son is so important. However after the 4-month sleep regression hit Moss was waking between 10-20 times a night and the result was my own utter desperation and exhaustion. Jenna’s support with Moss’ sleeping has literally changed both of our lives. She is patient, knowledgeable, encouraging and reassuring. I was concerned that this form of gentle sleep training may impact Moss’ attachment but Jenna spoke to me about this from an informed background of child development and attachment; if anything getting more sleep has enhanced our relationship as I have more energy, as does he, and we can thoroughly enjoy each other more and have more fun. I never thought I would be the kind of mama who would adhere to a routine, however having a bit of structure to our day and having a comprehensive understanding of awake times and nap times, as well as recommendations on when to breastfeed and give solid foods, makes my life as a solo parent so much more manageable and enjoyable. Moss now sleeps well in the day, he has two naps that vary between 30mins to 2hours 30mins, which gives me time to rest and get things done. He generally goes to bed at 6pm, which has given me back my evenings. Thank you Jenna – as previously stated, your support has changed our lives!

Anna and Moss (7 months old)

Before working with Little Dreams Arthur would not sleep for very long periods of time and could not settle himself for naps. We now have the tools and confidence to allow Arthur to settle himself and we are all less stressed as a result.

Ellie, Adam and Arthur (7 months)

When I contacted Little Dreams Consulting, my partner and I were feeling quite desperate regarding our daughter’s sleep. Megan had always struggled sleeping on her own and when falling asleep would always need us to hold her hand for up to an hour. Now aged 4, I was becoming increasingly worried that she was not learning how to get to sleep on her own as she’d never learnt to self soothe. Although Megan would go to bed in her own bed, she would always come into ours during the night and would need to be physically attached to me to fall back to sleep. Hours in her own bed where lessening to the point that she would come into the living room at 9pm after going to sleep around 7.30, no one was getting enough sleep least of all Megan. Speaking to Jenna on the phone following my initial enquiry convinced me to go ahead with trying to help Meg sleep better. Jenna sent us a detailed questionnaire and came to meet us all after putting together a sleep plan which took into account our answers. We both really liked the way Jenna engaged with Megan during the process and felt this aided Meg’s understanding and determination to learn to sleep better. Jenna kept in touch with Megan through FaceTime and videos, which also spurred her on and she really enjoyed and benefited from these. Jenna provided us both with invaluable support, helping us put in place a system which would work for Megan. The whole process far exceeded my expectations of what Megan could achieved given our previous situation. She now goes to sleep happily without us in the room and is able to stay in her own bed every night until the sun comes up. Megan is so much happier and more confident since going through this process and I believe she feels empowered by her new sleep skills, as well as the benefit of the sleep itself. Everyone feels so much better now, thanks Jenna and Little Dreams Consulting!

Tessa, Justin and Megan (4 years old)

We had reached our limits with our little one’s sleep. He was waking up every hour or so – and refused to nap at all at nursery. None of us were happy as a result. Things only seemed to be getting worse – rather than better. We were recommended Jenna and it has transformed our family life. We no longer dread the evenings but can actually relax before going to bed. Even following the plan for the first night resulted in a better night than we usually had. We really liked the gentle approach. We were nervous the first week was going to be really challenging but it wasn’t – our baby was happier for knowing how to get himself to sleep. Nursery have also now commented on how easy it is to put him down. The support we got from Jenna in the first 2 weeks was also fantastic – she really helped us make adjustments to make the plan work for us. Thank you! We are so much better for this!

Mummy and Daddy to 8 month old

My husband and I were very trepidatious about undertaking sleep ‘training’, feeling that there must surely be an organic way for our son to learn to sleep unaided. In the end, though, because it was so clear that he was unable to self-soothe and this felt like such an important thing for him to learn as a life skill (and because we were all so knackered) we went for it. Fay at Little Dreams was calm, kind, detail focussed and professional throughout – even when I was weeping and questioning her methods! The training wasn’t painless, there were a few nights of tears as our baby got used to his new regime, but by the two week mark, he was putting himself to sleep and sleeping through the night and all our lives have changed! There are still a few tears when I put him down, but they only last for a minute or two and then he is able to quiet himself and drift off. I highly recommend teaching your baby these skills and dong so with the help of Fay, who was flexible, available at all times, compassionate and totally unflappable throughout.

Mummy and Daddy to 2 year old

Thank you Lisa for helping us with Ellen’s sleep! Before working with Lisa, our top two issues were constant use of a dummy and it needing to be replaced in the night 5-15 times, also Ellen only sleeping in bed with me and not being able to self-settle. After seeing Lisa and following the plan Ellen stopped using the dummy instantly and went to sleep in her own room with only a couple of wake ups (one being for a feed as she is only 6 months old). Nap times were trickier and at times it was tough but had constant reassurance so we could stick with it and stay on track with the plan. Some nights and naps are a little tricky but , after only a couple of weeks, for 80% of the time now Ellen sleeps and self-settles easily. Thanks again for your help and getting our sleep, evenings and bed back

Tina, Alex and Ellen (6 months old)

I can’t tell you what a difference this has made to our lives. After 3 weeks we finally have an evening again. As parents we are able to take time for ourselves whether that’s cooking and eating in peace, going for a run, or just watching TV. Something we haven’t been able to do in a very long time. Separating out Zane’s bedtime from his little sister has been really empowering for him, but it also means that they each get some 1-to-1 time and attention every day. I’ve been so proud of Zane’s progress and achievement throughout the process. Not least with his ability to relax and fall asleep by himself, but also with his ability to entertain himself for an hour (from 6-7pm) whilst his sister does her bedtime routine. This is a big achievement for a little boy who has required constant engagement and presence since he was born. Most importantly Zane is getting an average of 10 hours sleep a night, rarely even waking to go to the toilet, which has had a noticeable impact on his health and happiness. We really enjoyed working with Fay. Zane said she is one his favourite people (we’ve dealt with and engaged with a number of professionals since his ADHD diagnosis so this was a big compliment for him). She listened to him and he trusted her.

Claire and Wally (Zane’s parents)

Thank you Fay for coming into my life and helping me stop being scared about going to sleep. Before I knew you I was really scared of falling asleep but now you talked to me and I’m really really confident on the sleep routine. And I now I like falling asleep by myself.

Zane aged 8

Our baby girl had been a good sleeper until the four month sleep regression hit. Initially we thought the regression would only last a couple of weeks and that we would ride it out. Three months later we were still dealing with wake-ups every 45 minutes throughout the night. We were exhausted. We didn’t want to adopt a cry it out approach but felt like we had to do something. Jenna totally understood our outlook and provided a plan that worked practically and emotionally for our baby and for us. Our baby managed an 8 hour uninterrupted block of sleep the very first night and from there things continued to improve. We cannot put into words how much our lives have changed since we first contacted Jenna, and we are so grateful for the positive impact she has had on our family.

Mummy and Daddy to 8 month old

Our little girl doesn’t give tired or hungry cues – meaning some days she was quietly awake for 6 – 8 hrs at 3 months old and continually struggling to put on weight! When she did go to sleep for either a nap or bedtime she would wake after a maximum of 90 mins. She was clearly shattered but was always so happy to see us (day or night) that it confused all 3 of us! After 13 weeks in which my longest sleep was 3.5 hrs we called Little Dreams Consulting… I can’t recommend Fay enough. By showing us how to teach Jemima to sleep not only does Jemima now have 3 regular naps a day, she also sleeps for 10 – 12 hrs a night with only one wake up (to feed) . Best of all Jemima is now hungry when she wakes up, is eating strongly and her weight is stable 😀 My favourite Fay phrase, repeated many times to myself in the first few days of the programme: “It’s not your job to put Jemima to sleep, it’s Jemima’s job to put Jemima to sleep”. Knowing that I could control the environment and offer support but can’t do it for her was an invaluable parenting lesson that I’m sure will be repeated in years to come. Thankyou Fay!

Mummy and Daddy to Jemima (14 weeks old)

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jenna to anyone who needs help getting their little one to sleep. Our 8 month old wasn’t in any routine, wouldn’t nap in his cot and was waking frequently at night. Within 3 days of working with Jenna, he slept through the night and was having 2 good naps in his cot, and best of all falling asleep completely independently. We couldn’t believe it! Jenna took the time to get to know us and her recommendations were tailored to us. She provided excellent support, giving clear advice whenever we needed it along the way. We are now a well rested, much happier little family. We can’t thank her enough!

Mummy and Daddy to Leo (8 months old)

I called Jenna when I’d reached my limit. My six month old was completely reliant on me to get to sleep for naps and bedtime. I was exhausted, emotionally drained and struggling. We had multiple night wakings, short naps with no patterns and endless walking around rocking and singing her to sleep. I felt like I’d researched and tried everything and nothing was working. Now, we couldn’t be further from this. She sleeps in her own cot for naps and at night. She no longer needs me to get to sleep & she’s continually improving as the weeks pass. Without Jenna, I’d never have been able to do it! She was kind, supportive and most importantly, gave me confidence in myself. I’m a first time mum & she’s given me the tools and knowledge to conquer any obstacle I might face when dealing with sleep. My husband was away at the time and when I needed someone to reassure me, she was there. When I cried because I felt like I couldn’t do it, she was there. There aren’t the words to express how grateful I am for her help and guidance. I was probably on the brink of some potential mental health struggles – Jenna saved me. You cannot put a price on that.

Mummy to 6 month old

Before working with Jenna our son would not settle for naps and would wake very early each morning. Now we are getting more sleep, and I am feeling less anxious in particular. It has made our family life calmer, less stressful and much happier. Our son is happier now he’s getting more sleep and is well rested. We don’t dread naptimes anymore and we are getting up a lot less during the night.

Mummy and Daddy to 6 month old

I wish I hadn’t left it nearly 4 years to sort out the terrible sleep we were all getting! Within just a few weeks, things were completely different, I couldn’t believe it. Bedtimes are now easy, Jude goes down without a fuss and stays in bed until morning (no more 5am wakes either). Not only are we all getting way more sleep each night, we have our evenings to ourselves again! I cannot recommend Fay enough. Her calm and clear approach was second to none and the support we received through the whole process was impressive. Thank you so much for everything Fay – honestly changed our lives!

Mummy and Daddy to Jude (3 years old)

We cannot thank Jenna enough for her support. We went for over a year without a full nights sleep and began to survive rather than live. Bodhi now sleeps 12 hours most nights and needs no encouragement or aid to fall asleep. She has helped to change our lives and we feel incredibly lucky to have found her. Her encouragement and reassurance got us through some tough hurdles and she has honestly been like a super hero to us all.

Vicky, Nicky and Bodhi (13 months)

Our son’s sleep had regressed significantly when he was 12 weeks old. He went from sleeping 7-8 hours in a row to waking every hour. This went on for months and left us all completely exhausted. Eventually, when he was 5 months, we got in touch with Little Dreams. We felt like we had tried everything but nothing would work. When we got in touch with Jenna things changed in just a few nights. We will forever be grateful for her endless advice, reassurance and encouragement. We couldn’t have done it without her. Our son is noticeably happier now that he gets some sleep! We are also very well rested and enjoying time as a couple in the evenings!

Catherine, Andrew and James (5 months old)

Jenna quite literally transformed our lives when she came to help with our 6 month old baby. We were all in a very bad place as ‘sleep’ been a issue for about 2 months before Jenna saved us. Our baby was only sleeping for 40 minutes at a time and would then take about an hour to soothe back to sleep only for it to start again 40 minutes later. This cycle was going on all throughout the night until whatever time in the morning I gave up and started our day. We had hoped it was the 4 month regression which he would grow out of, but clearly nearly 2 months on it wasn’t! It had reached a point where I didn’t know what I dreaded more…the endless and exhausting days or the relentless and lonely nights. To top it off, none of my soothing tricks and techniques were working at all anymore. I just didn’t know what to do but I thank my lucky stars that my friend saw the banner for Little Dreams and sent me the info. I had been so apprehensive about using a sleep consultant because I really didn’t want to do anything like ‘Cry It Out’, when I spoke to Jenna on the phone she reassured me that this wasn’t what she would do at all. Jenna arrived and spent 2 hours with us, she had a way of explaining things that made it so clear that there were little things we were doing that actually affected his sleep badly and could be easily tweaked. We were left with clear instructions and a plan to follow. It wasn’t anything rigid or set to a certain time, it actually allowed us to follow our babies own cycle and set a structure around that. The changes were unbelievable and some of the new way of doing things actually blew our minds! We were sure this was madness and wouldn’t work (sorry Jenna!)….but on the first night he slept for TEN HOURS!!! Jenna helped us during the days with naps and let us know what time to out him down for a sleep when he woke at wonky hours etc… 2 months on from that, he is sleeping consistently for 11 to 12 hours! We have had a couple of hospital visits in between and times where we had to wake him to get help etc…having the routine and knowing what to do has been amazing and we have always been able to get his sleep back on track! It is truly incredible! As parents we have so much more confidence in ourselves and in preparing his bedtime routine…we know what he needs and we know how to help him. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jenna and we will be coming back to her if at any point as he grows up we need some help again. It is honestly the best money we have ever spent. Thank you Jenna, you have made a world of difference to our lives and have given me back the ability to have fun and go out in the world! I’m not a zombie mum anymore….thank you!

Hannah, Blair and Wilfred (6 months old)

Before working with Jenna our little boy would occasionally sleep for a few hours between feeds but often take a while to settle and then wake hourly, needing me to ‘feed’ him back to sleep. We ummed and ahhed about getting help with Arlo’s sleep for ages but we’re so glad we found you. It’s not an exaggeration to say it’s life changing. We are both (me in particular) so much more rested and have so much more fun with Arlo during the day because we’re not counting down the hours until we can go back to sleep. I will definitely keep breastfeeding longer now – because I was feeding all night, I hated it and I was completely miserable doing it. Now it feels like a wonderful quiet bonding time between the two of us. What surprised me most was the ease at which Arlo started sleeping well, its really like he’s finally getting what he wanted all along and really you’ve just trained us to read him better. It’s been so amazing working with you, you literally cannot put a price on a good nights sleep!!

Georgina, Ash and Arlo (11 months)

Fay helped us with our two year old daughter, Eloise. Eloise kept waking through the night (anywhere from 1-4 times), wanting milk and needing us to sit beside her until she fell asleep. Fay asked us about Eloise’s routine throughout the day (not just her bedtime routine) and prepared a sleep plan unique for us. I was so desperate by the time we contacted Little Dreams as I was 7 months pregnant with our second child and so badly wanted Eloise to sleep through before baby 2’s arrival! I’m not going to lie, the first night was hard, but by night 5 Eloise slept through the night! My husband was sceptical but after a week in, even he couldn’t deny the progress Eloise had made by following Fay’s sleep plan. But you have to be consistent and trust the plan! Fay was on call to answer any questions and was flexible when it came to making any tweaks she felt were needed. She did not pressure us into anything. I highly recommend Little Dreams Consulting if you are needing help with your little one’s sleep. We’re a month in and can put Eloise down now at 6:30pm and she falls asleep happily on her own and stays in bed until 6:30am the next day! All thanks to Fay! 🙂

Gillie, Ivan and Eloise (2 years old)

Jenna was so patient and knowledgeable during our antenatal package. Naturally as expectant parents we were finding things quite daunting, thankfully Jenna was there to give us simple but effective advice and goals. By the time our little one arrived we felt reassured as to what to expect and by the time Jack was 10 weeks old he was sleeping for 8 solid hours! Amazing package which not only helped us manage our expectations but also find an effective routine when it was appropriate for Jack. We also have an idea of what to expect in the coming months and how to guide Jack through his sleep development. Thank you so much!

Sara, Sean and Jack (antenatal package)

Before we started working with Fay, our son constantly woke during the night, and wouldn’t go to sleep without one of us lying down with him. He also relied on using a bottle or dummy in order to fall asleep, but ultimately ended up in our bed every night regardless. Since working with Fay our son is so happy and the tantrums he was having due to being over tired have reduced dramatically. The biggest success off the back of this is his eating! He is eating more; he is enjoying food and because of this his constipation has reduced dramatically.

Alice, Gareth and Taber (5 years old)

We had quite a few sleep problems with our one year old. The biggest concern was that he would only sleep in his cot if he had been fed to sleep, meaning that only I could ever do the bedtime routine. That plus frequent night wake ups and early morning starts were exhausting for us all. From the first conversation I had with Fay, I knew she could help us and that things would get better. Fay laid out a clear and comprehensive plan that both me and my partner could sign off on. It can be daunting trying something new with sleep but with Fay’s support we made significant improvement quickly, even with naps which we thought would be impossible to crack. We both now have the skills and confidence to deal with our boy’s sleep and we now all have better sleep! Amazing work Fay, thanks for everything.

Carly and Adam, parents to 13 month old

Before working with Fay, our 3 year old was taking hours to settle at night, often not settling without me laying down next to her. She would then have frequent night wakings, resulting in her eventually sleeping in our bed or me sleeping in hers. Her sleep had been poor from the start, a combination of being breast fed and some co-sleeping along the way, which led to significant sleep props (namely me) which she couldn’t do without at night. I had read many sleep books and tried various methods to get her to sleep but consistency often waned towards the end of a 2 week period. My husband was very reluctant to try any method of getting her to sleep as he was concerned about her crying unnecessarily. Fay came to see us and instantly reassured us that Isabel wouldn’t be left crying for hours and set out an easy to follow plan. The level of support throughout was fantastic and really empowered me to remain consistent with the routine. The log was so beneficial as it enabled Fay identify a key area that was preventing Isabel getting to bed easily and then remain in bed. Once we stuck to her 12 hour awake period, bedtimes were much improved and after 3 weeks she was able to settle independently, following a lovely bedtime routine involving quiet time, bath and stories. Isabel continues to get to sleep independently and sleeps through the night having 11-12 hours sleep, which is unbelievable. We are all feeling the benefits of sleep! Thank you Fay!

Andrea and Steve parents to Isabel (3 years old)

Before meeting with Jenna at Little Dreams our daughter would only sleep for one sleep cycle and would only nap on me. Since working with Little Dreams things have improved immeasurably. My husband and I are now back sleeping in the same room which psychologically has made us feel a lot closer again and feel like a ‘team’ again, and we now have our evenings back so we’re actually finding time to spend together rather than just being passing (tired) ships! We can now go out in the evening feeling confident that our daughter will stay asleep. I am not so tired so have more patience with my other two daughters. Thank you

Mummy and Daddy to 6 month old

After 7 months of what felt like no sleep, endless wake ups (often every 1-2 hours at night), endless night feeds, short and unreliable naps and stressful bedtimes we called on Jenna to help us. It has honestly changed our lives. Our baby has gone from having 40 minute naps where I breastfed him to sleep, to getting himself to sleep with no fuss for two 1.5 hour naps every day! No longer do I breastfeed him to sleep at bedtime either. He now has a feed with me, I pass him to my husband to read him a story, he goes down awake and gets himself off to sleep. He now sleeps 11-12 hours a night usually just waking up for one feed half way through. In just two weeks Jenna has changed everything for us. She was there everyday offering support and guidance and we couldn’t have done it without her.

Mummy and Daddy to 7 month old

Before working with Jenna, Finley regularly woke 3-4 times a night and was often really hungry by 5am. Fast forward to now and he goes to sleep without even a murmur every night between 6.30/7 and sleeps through until 6 or 7 which is AMAZING. He now eats like a horse because of stopping the overnight milk which is great as I really struggled with how little he used to eat. Best of all he’s been off Ranitidine for a week now which we’re so pleased with! I’m sure this is linked with him eating more food and drinking less milk. Your help with his sleep really has changed our life and I just wanted to thank you again

Sophie, Ben and Finley (19 months old)

We just want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts – we look back at the weeks and months prior to you helping us and can’t quite believe how bad Albie’s sleeping was and we question how we were all surviving! We really thought Albie was an outlier and never imagined he would be as a good a sleeper as he is now. Thanks for persevering with us through all the teething and illness, as well as providing reassurance when we had doubts and anxieties. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you and we will definitely come to you again if we have any future regressions (but fingers crossed that we don’t!). It really was lovely working with you Jenna

Carley, Chris and Albie (7 months)

Our first born wasn’t a great sleeper and I always thought this was down to luck. I thought there were ‘good sleepers’ and ‘bad sleepers’ until we worked with Fay who literally changed our lives (2.5 years of sleep deprivation) by showing us how to support our child to sleep through the night with a holistic, multifaceted approach. We were more nervous about the sleep deprivation we might face when baby 2 arrived than anything else. The antenatal package gave us great advice, a solid framework and the confidence to help us guide our baby (and us) towards good sleep habits and gentle sleep skill development. It’s week 4 and we’re on 11pm, 2am and 6am feeds completely organically. This is more sleep than we could ever have hoped for and I’m convinced it’s because of the confidence we have in our new found knowledge. Thank you Fay. We’ll keep you posted as we move into week 6 and attempting the ‘feeling brave goals’

The de Renesses’ (Parents to 2 ½ year old and newborn)

Before working with Little Dreams our daughter could only fall asleep in our arms and woke hourly during the night. Jenna were so supportive throughout the process, and willing to be flexible. We especially found the Google Logs really useful, we were able to ask any questions and the little positive comments Jenna left for us gave us the reassurance that we were on the right track. Since working with Jenna, we are so much happier as a family. Sleep deprivation affects everything, and before we started working with her things were really tough. We are now all much more rested and have so much more energy. It is lovely to be able to spend time together in the evenings (we had gone through phases where we had to eat separately as one of us had to stay with our daughter). She also seems much happier and calmer, presumably because she is now getting enough sleep at appropriate times. Four weeks on both sets of our daughter’s Grandparents looked after her for a week when I was back at work, and they specifically commented how easy she was to put down for naps! Thank you once again; our lives are totally changed since we began working with you. In fact, we even managed to go out on our first “date night” the other week and leave our daughter with babysitters – she didn’t even make a sound when we were out!

Mummy and Daddy to 8 month old

Sleeping is a gift you can give and teach to your child. My little one was 7 weeks when we started over Skype as we live in Tunisia. Our little one wouldn’t sleep during the day unless fed him or on my chest. If I lay him down he would wake up after 10-15 mins. Thanks Fay for your support and help. Already we can see big differences. Thanks for always being there to support us. A month passed so quickly with success. It’s not a month yet since we finished the consultation and it’s already getting easier and easier to put the little one to sleep. Naps times are predictable. I can plan my day around it. I can take a nap too 😊 Definitely worth the money.

Mummy and Daddy to Jona (12 weeks old)

We asked for Jenna’s help after our little girl’s sleep took a turn for the worse when she was around 12 months and by 21 months we decided that it definitely wasn’t just a phase! She had multiple wakes during the night and needed one of us there for comfort and to settle her which resulted in one of us sleeping on the floor in her bedroom every night and were co-sleeping by the end of the night. Jenna provided us with the confidence as to how to make the changes to get things back on track. We should have done it months ago. I was surprised how quickly the improvements came. We have had a couple of blips along the way but she is settling really quickly now and has been sleeping through the night (which is amazing!). She has also learnt to nap in her cot which is a revelation! We have less anxiety about what time the first wake will be, how long it would take to settle her and then how many more wakes there would be in the night. It really has made a difference to our lives!

Mummy and Daddy to 22 month old

Jenna was so encouraging and reassuring right from the start of our time with her. When we contacted her our twins woke multiple times overnight and did not nap well during the day, needing help to nap by feeding and rocking. With twins to consider, she made a plan that suited each baby but kept them in sync to allow us some free time as well. The schedule worked! Teaching children to sleep is constant as babies learn and grow but we feel that we have some control and much happier, healthier babies due to them having 2 naps a day and sleeping through the night. We are also sleeping more which helps remove that day to day fuzzy head feeling! All 4 of us are in a much better place and can’t thank Jenna enough.

Rebecca and Martin, Owen and Scott (7 month old twins)

Fay has been so helpful, consistent and clear throughout. We were skeptical at first given the preceding six months of sleeping difficulties and we were worried nothing would work. Within one night he had exceeded our expectations. Sleeping in his own bed and self-soothing without being fed back to sleep. The following weeks have seen consistent improvements. Since sleep has improved he has come on leaps and bounds, days are a pleasure and nights not a daunting prospect anymore. We really appreciate Fay’s support which was fantastic, thank you so much.

Mummy and Daddy to 6 month old

When Alex was about 4 weeks old, he started showing signs of colic (crying for hours, refusing to sleep, generally miserable) which got worse and ended when he was about 12 weeks. Unfortunately, during this time we were so frazzled we would do absolutely anything to get him to sleep and keep him quiet so as not to wake our eldest child. He learned some very bad habits and consequently would only go to sleep being fed or rocked. When the colic finally seemed to pass, we were left with a baby who was incapable of settling himself and so would wake every 30-60 minutes. Jenna was recommended to us and I cannot stress enough how life changing it has been. The night before we started the sleep plan (when Alex was 4.5 months old) he woke up 14 times, after just one day of the plan he woke up 4 times, and now at 5 months wakes 2 times a night. Additionally, before we started, I had no idea how best to manage Alex’s naps so I just let him sleep when and where I could. Jenna’s insight and support was absolutely invaluable, and gave me confidence in my decisions where previously I always second guessed if I was doing the right thing. I highly recommend Little Dreams Consulting, they have been fantastic and I feel like I finally have my life back.

Mummy and Daddy to Alex (8 months old)

Our 12 week old daughter was gorgeous in all ways but sleep. I was wearing her in a sling to get her to nap, she was overtired and I was exhausted. I had spent so much time googling that I felt completely lost and confused. Contacting Little Dreams was a complete turning point. Within a week both she and I were feeling much more rested and I finally had a bit of time to myself while she napped (without me carrying her!) Two weeks later and she was sleeping through the night. Jenna helped us to find structure, gave us a huge amount of support and now I feel confident of my daughters sleep needs going forward. Thank you Jenna!

Mummy and Daddy to 12 week old

When we came to Fay we were so exasperated with our daughter’s poor sleep that I’d just taken her to the doctors to see if something might be physically wrong with her like an allergy. There wasn’t – she was simply overtired and couldn’t sleep properly which resulted in a lot of crying. Fay’s advice was clear, concise and – most importantly – hugely effective. She gave us confidence from the start that she could help and the sleep plan was sensible and straightforward to follow. It was hard at times but Fay listened well and continued to provide us with support and great advice. In less than a fortnight, our daughter went from waking every hour to sleeping through the night! We are very grateful to Fay for everyone in the house now being much more well rested

Mummy and Daddy to 8 month old

We cannot recommend Fay highly enough. We have been working with Fay since our son was 6 weeks old, and the difference it has made is amazing. He is a much happier baby, and we are much happier parents! Since he was about 4 months old, we managed to get him napping in his cot, by himself, and sleeping through the night most nights. We cannot thank Fay enough. To have structure to our day, and know our child’s sleep needs is such a great tool. Fay always explained everything clearly, and has offered support throughout the whole process. I would still be sleep deprived and wearing my son in a sling for naps if it wasn’t for Fay. THANK YOU!!!

Mummy and Daddy to 6 week old

Fay has brought sleep and happiness to our home. She gave us great advice and help from the first day. We are less than two weeks in and my Son has just slept through for the first time. He seems happier chap for it as is his long suffering mummy. My 6 year old has really enjoyed the evening routine we’ve introduced too. Thank you again Fay for all your amazing help

Mummy and daddy to 8 month old

2018

I would recommend Jenna to anyone, we first contacted Jenna as our almost 3 year old literally went to sleep for 2-3 hours and then was up every 45mins/1hr throughout the night and this had been going on for the last 12 months. He needed one of us there to settle him at all times and this had resulted in one of us sleeping on the floor in his bedroom as it was the only way we could get some sleep. With Jenna’s help and support we have seen such an improvement and cant quite believe we now have a child who goes to bed on his own and can sleep all night in his own bed. Thank you so much Jenna for giving us all some much needed rest.

Emma, Si and Jackson (3 years old)

We are all so grateful for the incredible changes you have helped us to make. When we went in to this process I was really optimistic but I think everyone around me (my husband in particular) was worried that I’d be disappointed when things didn’t improve quickly enough. I also think lots of people were sceptical that you’d be able to ‘fix’ such a difficult baby. We are obviously so happy with how much improvement we’ve seen and now feel we can look forward to Christmas (I had been dreading it). Thanks so very much Jenna.

Mummy and Daddy to 5 month old

As a single parent, trying to get Tommy to stay in his bed, as well as dealing with my daughter, was a challenge. After meeting with Fay from Little Dreams Consulting I felt very hopeful and reassured. She explained everything so that I understood why Tommy wasn’t sleeping. The sleep plan was excellent, I was really impressed with it, it included so much. Tommy was tricky and I think we both knew he was going to be a challenge, and without Fay’s help I really don’t think I could have done it. Having Fay there to support me helped so much and gave me the reassurance I needed. I’m so glad I stuck with it, what a difference, I can’t thank you enough!

Kelly and Tommy, aged 2 ¼ years

We were always skeptical that anything or anyone would get our son to sleep as we just thought it was just the way he was. He refused to go to bed, let alone sleep! After our first meeting, with Fay from Little Dreams, talking through things and having sleep and it’s processes explained properly, we felt more encouraged. There were improvements from day one and a notable change in mood. The changes to his routine went down really well and within 3 weeks of meeting with Fay he was saying “night night mummy” and sleeping through the night. We can’t recommend Little Dreams enough, bye bye sleep deprivation! What a game changer!

Nicola Adam and Ethan (2 ½ years old)

We struggled with disturbed nights until our little boy was nearly 4. Not long after that, our little girl arrived. She was a relatively good sleeper, but around 11 months, after a run of chickenpox, colds, teething, etc, she started waking regularly in the night and the dreaded sleep deprivation soon set in again. After meeting Jenna she put together a plan for us to follow. Within a few days it was as if someone (or Jenna) had waved a magic wand and our little girl’s sleep was back on track. Jenna was so approachable and reassuring and on hand to guide us through each step. You really can’t underestimate the affects of long term sleep deprivation and we would highly recommend Jenna and Little Dreams Consulting to any sleep deprived parent!

Mummy and Daddy to 11 month old

We cannot recommend Jenna highly enough – to any parents at the end of their tether or, if you have any rational decision-making capabilities left, well before that! Our son is happy and settled. He has gone from random naps and wakeful nights to regular daytime naps and 12-hour nights. He’s eating better. There were big changes within a couple of days and life-changing ones within two weeks. Jenna worked with us on a thoughtful and caring plan tailored to how we feel as a family. Jenna – thank you!

Tamsin, Gregor and Hugo (19 months old)

Working with you has been wonderful for our family life. I love our routine – Benjamin is well rested, as are we! We really valued that your plan fitted with what we felt comfortable with so we have been able to remain consistent. Giving Benjamin all the comfort and care he needs but not helping him get off to sleep. We have already recommended you to friends. Thank you so much!

Fiona, Tom and Benjamin (6 months old)

We cannot thank Jenna enough for all the help and support she gave us. We were desperate as I had to return to work and our 10 month-old baby was still sleeping with us, breastfeeding every hour at night and none of us was getting any quality sleep. Jenna developed a plan for us and we could not believe it, but it worked straight away and Alba slept through the night for the first time ever, from the very first day we started Jenna’s plan!! Now the three of us feel a lot better and it was totally worth it! The plan was very easy to follow and it helped Alba to learn to soothe herself but always with our support.

Stuart, Raquel and Alba (10 months old)

Jenna is extremely supportive, friendly and knowledgeable. She has helped our little boy, who was previously waking multiple times in the night and wouldn’t nap unless he was in his sling, to sleep in his cot for daytime naps and settle during the night. Jenna clearly has a passion for helping families in need of more sleep as she even phoned us on a Saturday morning just before her holiday to give us further advice and to make sure we were happy going forward with our plan! Thank you so much for all your help, it’s made a huge difference to our family.

Emma, Andy and Harry (5 months old)

Jenna has helped us get a good night sleep for the first time in 2 years! Our 2 1/2 year old was up multiple times and always ended up in bed with us. In under 3 weeks he now sleeps through 99% of the time, in his own bed, with little fuss if he does wake up. This has also helped our elder son (4 years). Great service, great support and well worth the money. Thanks a lot Jenna.

Mummy and Daddy to 2.5 year old

Thank you very much for everything that you have done for us as a family. I will admit that I was sceptical at first but I cannot believe the difference that it has made in such a short period of time! Even Lucas is very proud of himself and has settled so well into his new routine. There have even been occasions where he has asked to go to bed; previously bedtime was difficult and lengthy but it is now a lot calmer and he continues to sleep in his own bed all night! We have already recommended you to friends. Once again, thank you, you have changed our lives!

Jenny, Chris and Lucas (3 years old)

Thanks for all your help. Before we met you our almost 2 year old was up in the night, sometimes for hours at a time. Since working with you, not only has our son’s sleep improved but so has our eldest daughter’s, and with only a few small and simple changes. Long may it continue.

Mum and dad to 23 month old

I cannot recommend Jenna highly enough. Our 7 year old was terrible at getting to sleep without us laying with him until he was asleep. Every night was a battle and he would often still be awake at 1030 and then wake in the early hours and want to come into our bed. This was having a huge effect on his health (and ours), his behaviour deteriorated and family life was becoming increasingly difficult. We implemented Jenna’s plan within days of the consultation and our son has followed the plan from day 1! He has now been sleeping through for over a month and he is often asleep by 830 each night and he is settling himself. The impact on our family was immediate and even our son has said he feels a lot happier. Jenna’s support has been invaluable and everybody is happier and healthier as a result. I would not hesitate to recommend Jenna, our only regret, why we waited so long!

Emma, Al and Jack (7 years old)

“Having always been a really bad sleeper myself, I knew I wanted to give our 6 month old daughter Phoebe the gift of good sleep skills from an early age. The urgency was increased by ongoing hourly wakes. Jenna was absolutely incredible. She helped us take that important next step with full confidence – for the health and well being of our whole family. Her amazing knowledge, professionalism, responsiveness and reassurance are exactly what we needed during this potentially very stressful period. Immediately, our daughter Phoebe went from waking hourly to just once a night. We have weathered multiple viruses since, but the great sleep habits that Phoebe learned have meant the nights were barely disrupted at all, meaning we could all recover far more quickly. She is such an incredibly happy baby as a result – so chatty and smiley and full of beans. There were definitely some tricky patches along the way, but Jenna was always there with reassuring words of wisdom. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough.”

Becky, Dan and Phoebe (6 months old)

We asked for Jenna’s help for our 10 month old and she has worked absolute wonders. Grace now sleeps through and naps in her cot in the daytime. Jenna is a lovely person, a fantastic resource and a great support. We would highly recommend her to anyone needing help with their child’s sleep. If anything, we only wish we’d done it sooner! Thank you Jenna.

Amy, Graham and Grace (10 months old)

Austin, our third baby, was still waking several times in the night as he reached his first birthday but it was when he started becoming really difficult to settle at bedtime as well that I knew I needed professional help. We’d got ourselves into a bit of a rut allowing him to fall asleep on me at bedtime and then throughout the night (in order to minimise the noise disturbance for our two elder daughters) feeding to sleep at every waking and getting him into bed with me for the remainder of the night. After attending Jenna’s sleep seminar and feeling completely exhausted I knew something had to change and I enlisted her help. Jenna was super friendly, encouraging, supportive and always at the end of the phone when I needed her. We put all of her recommended changes into practice immediately and on the third night he slept through for the first time ever. He also went back to settling very easily at bedtime and over a month later is still an excellent sleeper with on a rare wake up here and there. He’s happy in the daytime and clocking up some good daytime naps too! It felt strange at first admitting that we needed help because we’d already had two children but it was a brilliant decision for my husband and I. Having three children is wonderful, especially when we’re getting a good night’s sleep in order to enjoy them all the more! Thank you Jenna!

Kirsty, Tim and Austin (11 months old)

We called on Jenna’s help after over 6 months of nightly wakings. We had a 3yr old who wouldn’t go to sleep on his own, and would then be up in the night for up to 3hrs. We were at our wits end and couldn’t work out how to change this around! Jenna came in with such a positive but realistic attitude. It was a total dream, so much more gentle than I was expecting. We had hardly any tears at bedtime, the routine was followed to the word and within 9 days he started sleeping through. We have had a couple of wobbles (as we were told to expect) but with the support from Jenna we have negotiated them easily. He has slept through consistently from 3 weeks. I really didn’t expect it to go so smoothly! The support from Jenna was amazing, our 3yr old loved the positive videos she sent and I really think it made a huge difference. Couldn’t recommend Jenna highly enough!

Rebecca, Ben and Kit (3 years old)

I would highly recommend Fay, thanks to her our 9 month old boy is now sleeping through the night and having reliable regular naps. He is much happier and we are able to enjoy parenthood much more having had a full night’s sleep. Fay was calm, clear and very supportive throughout the process. We are delighted to have found her.

Mummy and Daddy to 9 month old

Jenna truly has changed our lives! Our little girl (8 months) was waking every hour all night, every night and would only fall back to sleep if I fed her. She always ended up in our bed as I was too exhausted to get up any more. Day time naps were also terrible and she’d manage 20 minutes in the pram/car/bouncy chair. Jenna’s kind and gentle approach combined with her professional experience and amazing knowledge turned our lives around in less than a week! Now 4 weeks later our little star sleeps well in her own bed all night, takes two naps a day in her cot and is generally a cheerful and playful baby who makes great company. Thank you so much Jenna!

Mummy and Daddy to 8 month old

We contacted Jenna just before our little boy’s first birthday. We had got stuck in a routine of feeding him to sleep and he was waking 6-10 times a night. Within three nights of implementing Jenna’s plan, our boy was sleeping through the night. As predicted, his appetite for solids improved substantially and his daytime milk feeds were better (less frequent but longer) straight away. We have been really pleased with our experience with little dreams and would highly recommend Jenna. Her approach is thorough, professional and tailored to suit the individual needs of your child. Don’t hesitate to get in contact with Jenna if your family needs to improve your sleep situation.

Aimee’s sleep has been consistently good and we are delighted with her progress. Thank you so much for all your support – it has made such a difference and we still can’t believe it. Everything feels better and more under control – work, home life, our relationship. I just feels like this is the way it is supposed to be and we are all so much happier as a family. Thanks again Jenna, you really helped us to achieve what we didn’t think was possible.

Louise, Andy and Aimee (2 years old)

We reached out to Jenna at a point of desperation; our 2 year old daughter Sophie was difficult to put to bed, and when finally asleep, she was waking and coming into our bedroom some 5-6 times a night. Frankly, we were all exhausted!! Jenna was great, fitting in around our work and Sophie’s bedtimes for her house visit and her phone calls. The support emails were always friendly and helpful. The plan that Jenna put together was clear and easy to follow and we never felt rushed to work our way through it, especially when some nasty bug and teething problems put things off track for Sophie. The results have been been so beneficial to all of us; Sophie has clearly taken another step in her development and is a much happier girl as a result of good sleep habits, and we’re finally getting some sleep too!!

Mummy and Daddy to Sophie (2 years old)

Thanks so much Jenna! Our lives have completely changed in the last couple of weeks, we feel like different people so we cannot thank you enough! I’ve been telling all my mummy friend’s how amazing it is too!

Mummy and Daddy to 6 month old

I’m so very glad we met you and were fortunate enough to be able to work with you. It has been life transforming! I have passed on your details to our friends and will continue to recommend you.

Mummy and Daddy to 7 month old

Jenna has been an invaluable source of advice and reassurance for us throughout our baby’s newborn phase and beyond. She reassured us that what we were experiencing was normal and helped us to guide our son towards developing great sleep skills even at such a young age. When things didn’t seem to make sense to me, Jenna always reassured me with the facts and guidelines for sleep duration day and night at different ages. It is fantastic to work with someone who shares our beliefs, I would thoroughly recommend seeking Jenna’s advice for your child’s sleep.

Mummy and Daddy to 2 month old

Before working with Jenna Finlay was only sleeping for maximum of two hour chunks before waking up and didn’t sleep independently in the day. On the first night he slept from 6 – 6 with only 3 wake ups! Jenna is so supportive and was always available to reassure and guide us through the plan. Finn is blossoming now he gets all this sleep!

Kate, Michael and Finlay (4 months old)

Before finding Jenna our 4.5 month old baby Evie would only ever sleep during the day in the sling and we felt unable to put her down awake at night. In no time at all, after working with Jenna, Evie was having all her naps in the cot and was able to self-settle with no intervention from us at all. If you had told us this would happen in less than 2 days I would never have believed it! Evie seems so much calmer and happier now that she is getting better quality sleep, and as parents we also have so much more time to ourselves. Jenna’s support was invaluable and I could not recommend Little Dreams enough. Thanks again for all your help these last few weeks, it really has transformed our lives!

Katie, Matt and Evie (4 months old)

We had come to think that our son was just a ‘bad sleeper’ and we had got used to periods of OK sleep leading to periods of terrible sleep for all of us. We found ourselves trying different methods, unable to stick to any of them for any length of time. Jenna listened to our concerns and helped us to turn everything around, very quickly. She gave helpful and clear advice and was supportive when we felt wobbly. Our son Milo now sleeps through and has done for months. We have noticed an improvement in his development and all of us are so much happier now that we all sleep. We just wish that we had called Jenna sooner- it is literally life changing!

Hayley, Clive and Milo (2 years old)

Our little 6 month old boy was waking every 1-2 hours overnight and needed to be fed back to sleep. Since working with you for two weeks our son’s sleep has improved dramatically. We even went away and I can honestly say this week would not have been so good if it wasn’t for your help. Mac is sleeping through the night giving me and Bryan our evenings so we still get a bit of a holiday! We are so much more conscious of what he needs and when and having his feeding and sleeping routine established has just made things so much easier. Most of all we are enjoying ourselves and not getting stressed out or being overly tired!! Can’t thank you enough! We will definitely recommend you to others. Thanks again for all your help and support.

Lindsey, Bryan and Mac (6 months old)

Our three year old daughter, Eva, has never been a good sleeper. We could easily settle her back to sleep but we were up 2-3 times a night. At 2.5 years old it got progressively worse, we were up 5+ times a night with her screaming for hours. We felt like we had tried everything, but we were at our wits end! I honestly thought that we would have to accept that she was a terrible sleeper. I emailed Jenna in desperation. We had no idea what to do with Eva, we felt as though we had tried everything. Jenna was very quick to reply to my initial email and then to call me to talk about our situation. She was very informative, understanding, non judgmental, and reassuring. We immediately implemented the plan that Jenna created for us. Within a few days we could see huge changes and within three weeks we were ALL beginning to sleep all night again!!! Throughout the process Jenna was incredibly supportive. We spoke both on the phone and via email for a few weeks. She was quick to tweak our plan if she thought it wasn’t quite right but equally just reassuring if she felt as though it would just take a few more days. Eva is so proud of herself and we are so proud of her. She’s a much happier little girl who suddenly doesn’t mind going to bed, and if she does wake in the night she very quickly settles herself back to sleep. Our only regret is that we didn’t call Jenna sooner!!!!! Thank you for helping us ALL get more sleep Jenna!!

Heather, Ben and Eva (2.5 years old)

This time last month (February 2018) I was getting ill through sleep deprivation with a 6.5 month old sleeping in 20 minute bursts. Last night my husband and I went out for the evening, spending quality time together, safe in the knowledge that our little one was asleep at home with Nana. With Jenna’s guidance, and the knowledge and structure Jenna has empowered us with, we’re now feeling a new lease of life – with our little one settling well each evening, sleeping through the night and getting into the swing of daytime naps. Even a fever hasn’t knocked her off being able to self-settle. Thank you Jenna

Hannah, Chris and Ellie (6 months old)

2017

I got in touch with Jenna as Billy, our nearly 3 year old, had never been a great sleeper and we had all got into bad habits leading to us having to sit with him (sometimes for ages) at bedtime, him coming into our bed in the night then waking us all up far too early in the morning. I had thought about contacting a sleep consultant at points but kept telling myself Billy would get there, I was also worried about paying lots of money for advice when I felt we had tried ‘everything’. Jenna was very encouraging when we first spoke, I liked her and her approach, and we decided to ask her to help us. From the start Jenna was extremely thorough with getting information from us about Billy which gave me confidence that the plan would be personal rather than generic. We also looked at the daily routine in general and learned more about how this might affect sleep. Her home visit was great for both us and Billy to get to know her a bit, and I really appreciated speaking regularly so we could discuss any unexpected happenings or share successes from the night before! Jenna always rang exactly when she said she would which meant it was easy to fit in calls and also responded to e-mails really quickly. The first few days were definitely hard work for all of us as Billy got used to the changes, but Jenna was really supportive when we spoke and reassured us that this was very normal. We also tweaked things a bit along the way so that we weren’t just charging ahead with the initial plan if things weren’t quite right. We were so pleasantly surprised by how quickly things started to work, and with a plan in place for each part of the process, it was easy to follow in the middle of the night without wavering or second guessing yourself. Jenna suggested involving Billy in the process given his age and this was a brilliant idea as he looked forward to talking to her, and spoke about how happy she would be that he had followed his sleep rules! Definitely a great influence! We now have a 3 year old who falls asleep by himself with no complaint – rather than dreading bedtime I definitely enjoy this part of the day now. He sleeps all night in his own bed and stays there quietly until the sun on the Gro-clock comes up – amazing! We have our evenings back, are getting full nights of sleep and can relax knowing that as a general rule if Billy will rarely wake in the night and, if he does, is able to settle himself with minimal interaction from us.

Vicky, Ben and Billy (3 years old)

We contacted Jenna when our son was 13 months old, by this point I felt like we had explored every possible gentle method to encourage sleep and nothing had worked. I was feeding Freddie to sleep for each nap and bedtimes could take up to an hour of feeding and rocking, we were exhausted. I was so desperate for help but adamant that we would not try any form of cry it out and I’m delighted that with Jenna’s expertise and support Freddie slept through in 3 nights with barely any tears! I can’t thank Jenna enough for her help, our family is now finally getting the sleep we all need.

Matt, Kitty and Freddie (13 months old)

Our daughter was breastfed to sleep and woke a number of times in the night – the only way of getting her back to sleep would be breastfeeding her in the night and I was exhausted. On the fifth night our daughter slept through! Now that is something that I didn’t think I would ever say! Jenna provided a clear explanation of the changes we needed to make to address the sleep issues we were having and supported us in making them. She was always available and was very friendly – just like talking to another mum (but one with expertise in sleep!) My husband and I regularly tell people that using Little Dreams Consulting has been one of the best things we have ever done – we only wish we had spoken to Jenna sooner! Our children now go to bed at a sensible time and go to sleep by themselves on their own. They sleep through almost every night and wake up at a sensible time – obviously this means that my husband and I have more time in the evening together and have a decent night’s sleep too! The biggest benefit is how much happier our daughter is in general; she eats better, is less grumpy, seems to enjoy her naps and has really developed a huge amount since the sleep improved. It’s been a brilliant experience with so many benefits for our family and of course Elin.

Melissa, Tom and Elin (12 months)

We have just finished a two week consultancy with Little Dreams. Our little boy (6 months) has developed his self settling and sleep skills hugely. I’m incredibly proud of him but I know we could not have done it without Jenna’s help and support. He is so much happier having proper naps in the day (previously he would not nap at all) and sleep at night and we feel so much more confident going forward. I would thoroughly recommend getting in touch with Jenna.

Mum and Dad to little boy (6 months old)

Freddie was a good sleeper but just after his first birthday became a habitual night-waker, often waking for hours at a time in the middle of the night and still managing to get us up at 5am as well! We turned to Jenna after about 6 difficult months when we felt we simply couldn’t go on. We were immediately reassured with Jenna’s optimism and in-depth knowledge of the science of sleep. There is a really practical and sensible rationale behind Jenna’s approach which gave us the confidence to get started right away. It’s fair to say ours proved to be a challenging case but Jenna was never deterred and worked tirelessly, going above and beyond to find solutions that worked. We’d definitely not hesitate to recommend her services to other parents who are struggling, it is clear that she genuinely cares about making a difference and leaves no stone unturned.

Tim, Vienna and Freddie (18 months old)

Before working with Jenna our little boy woke multiple times in the night. Now the plan is working. We can sleep more! Seb is happier, following a routine, and we believe this has sped up his development.

Mum and dad to Seb (9 months old)

Jenna provided her specialist advice and techniques to get my 5 and 3 year old children to stay in bed and to sleep though the night in their own beds. I had tried many techniques, was exhausted and dreaded bedtime, particularly with my older child. Jenna was very clear with her plan to address the situation and encouraging throughout. Much to my relief and amazement she has transformed bed times and, for the first time in more than 3 years, I don’t dread bedtimes. We are a much happier family post her help. I would recommend Jenna.

Sinead, John, Niamh and Lois (5 and 3 years old)

Our 13 month old son, Jonah, had been a great sleeper until he was five months old, at which point it became terrible and never really recovered. By the time he turned one, we were really struggling with multiple night wakes, unpredictable naps and eating, and two exhausted parents! We got in touch with Jenna to help us with two things: helping Jonah learn to fall asleep on his own (he had always been fed to sleep) and stopping the multiple night wakes. After seven months of terrible sleeping, we were dubious, but willing to try anything (other than traditional ‘cry it out’ methods)! From the first interaction with Jenna, she was empathetic, professional, reassuring and entirely optimistic that she could help us, and we really warmed to her approach. After the initial telephone consultation and email communication, Jenna came to meet with us (and, as it turned out, our son who was fighting sleep yet again!) one evening, to go through her proposed plan of action. Two nights later, having spent the day implementing the new nap and eating routine, we nervously and apprehensively prepared ourselves for a rough night while we helped Jonah learn to settle himself. That rough night never came, and within a week our son was sleeping 12-13 hours a night, and if he did wake up, he’d simply settle himself straight back to sleep again. We simply couldn’t believe it. Four weeks later, we were hit with a growth spurt that coincided with being away in a couple of different places over Christmas, so our son’s routine was knocked off kilter for a week and his sleep regressed a little. However, with some brief and clear instruction from Jenna, within two days of being home, our son was easily back into his perfect day and night-time routines, sleeping for 13 hours. Jenna has completely and utterly changed our lives – we can both now focus more clearly at work and at home, as a couple we have more quality time together, and as a family we spend more time enjoying each others company rather than worrying about what the night will bring. As far as we’re concerned, Jenna is a miracle-worker, and we will be eternally grateful for what she has helped us achieve.

Andrew, Laura and Jonah (13 months old)

We thought we were beyond help! Our 10 year old daughter had developed sleep problems around the age of 5 then later developed anxiety which affected her bedtime even more. A month ago, our daughter was going to sleep around 10.30 or 11pm every night (after a long battle). We’d tried everything and were all exhausted, emotional wrecks, it was taking over our lives. We started working with Jenna a few weeks ago, in January 2018, and my daughter has made huge progress. Both children are now asleep by 8.45/9pm and our family life is so much happier. I can’t recommend Jenna more highly, I just wish we’d done something sooner!

Paula, Jude and daughter (10 years old)

Due to serve acid reflux since birth, we inadvertently created a sleeping culture that relied heavily on our baby only being able to fall sleep whilst in our arms. This was compounded by the fact she would wake up every 45 mins throughout the night, which made it impossible to function as a family unit over, especially over the last 3 months. In desperation, after what felt like being awake for 11 months, we reached a point where we could not continue as we were, so we contacted Jenna but did so reluctantly, as we had heard horror stories about controlled crying and assumed the worse. These fears were quelled during our initially 15 min consultation, as were immediately impressed with Jenna’s knowledge around sleep, her warmth but more importantly, her concern for our daughters wellbeing. After we completed the questionnaire, which enabled Jenna to create a bespoke training programme that suited our parenting style, she presented the plan in a clear concise manner and further alleviated any concerns we had. We implemented the plan as instructed and the regular catch ups enabled us to revisit and flex according to our baby’s needs. Jenna ensured we remained consistent and we quickly noticed improvements; day one she fell asleep by herself and within a week, she slept through the night for the first time. We now enjoy a good and regular sleep pattern. I can’t stress enough how significant this is, as we managed to change a pattern that was formed over a long period of time within a week and we now enjoy our evenings and sleep again! If you are struggling parent(s) who has come this far to read this, I would urge you to take the next step as I can honestly say Jenna’s help saved us!.

Mum and Dad to little girl (11 months old)

Jenna was very supportive and helpful as we tried to get our 18 month old, Frida, into a better sleeping pattern. Frida went from needing to be picked up and rocked back to sleep at least once or twice through the night to sleeping straight through 12 hours or, if she woke up, was able to self sooth back to sleep. Jenna was readily available to talk and responded quickly to emails so we always felt we had support through the process. She was even able to work with us remotely and we still got very positive results. We would, and already have, certainly recommend her to any parents hoping to find better sleep for their little ones and themselves.

Marianne and Frida (18 months old)

I called Jenna as bedtimes with our 5 year old had become unbearable and stressful with arguments, crying, and my son finally going to sleep at 10pm. Not only that but he was sleeping in the top bunk bed and I was sleeping in the bottom because he wouldn’t sleep on his own and halfway through the night he would come down and get in with me. We were both exhausted. Jenna came to our house and worked with us, together with our son, and within a week he was sleeping on his own for 10 hours, through the night, and staying in bed until it was time to get up. We are all so much calmer, his behaviour in general is so much better, as he is not exhausted, and we no longer have the bedtime stress.

Mum and dad to Sonny (5 years old)

No one in our house had slept for more than 3hrs at a time for well over a month… night times were a desperate game of musical beds with our 6-month old boy all too often only falling asleep at the breast. We contacted Jenna at Little Dreams Consulting as we wanted a gentle approach to help our little boy to sleep – the Sleep Sense program felt like the right approach for us. Taking the time to get to know our lifestyle and our baby’s natural habits, Jenna helped us to help our boy achieve a full 12hrs sleep within just 5 nights. We wholeheartedly recommend Little Dreams Consulting to anyone whose baby has sleep struggles; it’s incredible how much can be achieved in such a short time, everyone in your household will feel the benefit.

Sarah, James and Alexander (6 months old)

Our daughter (who has severe allergies) would not fall asleep, or sleep, in her own bed and had to have some sort of physical contact with her mum in order to fall asleep. This had been going on for a number of months before we contacted Jenna. Bella now falls asleep, independently, in her own bed and sleeps there all night. We are working together as a family, with her bedtime routine, ensuring she does not get over tired. It has meant more freedom on an evening so we can get our young son into a bedtime routine too. Although it can be hard implementing these plans, as life doesn’t stop and children get sick, I am very happy with the improvements and can see light at the end of the tunnel.
