Sleepy App

Can I just say thank you sooo much for your help! I spoke to Kay over a week ago as my daughter was taking nearly an hour to go to bed every night. She’s 5 months old and can crawl and sit up unassisted which resulted in the shush pat method that we had been using was no longer working. She had always self settled, but it was being prolonged with our continual appearance assisting her. Kay encouraged I used 2,4,6,8 method. Night one was uncomfortable for me as I didn’t like the crying but no joke she put herself to sleep within 10 mins !! The first 3 days (naps and bedtime) she whinged and did a little cry but SS every time within 10 mins. By day 4 she didn’t cry at all!! It is now day 10 and she goes to sleep for all naps and bedtime within 5-10 mins everyday and night (NO CRYING). If she doesn’t go straight to sleep, she rolls around and plays until she’s ready and then self settles!! To top it off we just put her in the Porta cot in her room (she’s still in our room). We wanted to trial moving her to her own room as well as use the Porta cot to take to peoples places. She didn’t cry at all! Nap 1 - 45mins, nap 2- 2 hours. This method has helped the transition to have no issues wherever she sleeps! Soon to use for overnight resettles- fingers crossed ☺️ Thank you again sooo much ♥️

Hey! Just want to thank you guys for how much support you offer outside of your guides via socials/app. Our 3 month old has become a serial daytime catnapper for weeks. Thought we were losing the plot because day naps hadn’t been a huge issue for us and he was pretty good at going to sleep on his own with little assistance! We thought we had sleep environment, wake windows and tired cues down packed. But nothing seemed to be working. This morning I rewatched your catnapping Insta highlight for the millionth time. Only this time I picked up something new. We shortened his awake window after another failed nap this morning, and he’s now been asleep for over an hour! Stirred a little but he put himself back to sleep. HE FINALLY INDEPENDENTLY LINKED HIS CYCLE!! He hasn’t done this during the day in weeks! All because he went to bed that little bit earlier!! So thank you so much for the overwhelming resources you offer. We would be lost without it sometimes! xx

I’ve been so reluctant to write this thanks because I don’t want to jinx myself (again). But this has changed our families wellbeing! We had taught our lil 6 month old man to self settle but he was extremely reliant on a dummy, plus would catnap with a total of 28 minutes each sleep cycle and would wake 3-4 times overnight. Developmently, he needed time to learn to connect those cycles but with the support from Baby Sleep School I was able to guide him to create great sleep habits and now with consistency, patience and confidence & knowledge from Sleep School we have a lil boy that has been taking 1-2 hour naps(what!) and sleeping 9hours, then waking for a feed overnight. I’m so incredibly thankful for the ‘Sleep Pod’ focus group, the Sleepy app forum and the Baby Sleep School team for giving me some good rest and providing our whole family better wellbeing.
