Baby & Child Sleep Consultant Rosy Whitwell RGN Health Visitor RCPCH Sleep Practitioner

I highly recommend Rosy for support with your baby’s sleep. We were struggling with 1-3 hourly night wakings with our 1 year old daughter and she was completely dependent on breast feeding to go to sleep. Within a short period of time of following Rosy’s gentle routine and advice we saw a dramatic improvement and she soon started sleeping through the night, which was life changing after months of sleepless nights. Rosy was very understanding and in touch daily with helpful tips and subtle changes. We are really grateful for all her help.

Turned to Rosy after our second baby came along and our 3 year olds sleep was awful! Our day always started at 5/5:30 but often she would be kicking and screaming and shouting from 4am, waking the whole house. Rosy’s approach was slow and steady, it took some resilience and commitment for the first few days, but our daughter soon got used to our unwavering ways and so very quickly we saw improvements. The whole approach is very gentle and supportive, so she never had to be left to scream, we were always right by her side and didn’t change any steps until we knew she would cope. Fast forward 3 months and she is sleeping through the night until 6:30/6:45, and we put her to bed and walk out the door before she’s asleep! Rosy’s support and guidance was absolute amazing and couldn’t have done it without her!

Rosy helped us so much with getting our 18 month old to sleep better! We were averaging 3-4 wakes a night, with some wakes lasting 1-2 hours… sometimes 3! We also used to have to give her a bottle often to get her back to sleep out of desperation. We are now averaging 1-2 wakes (sometimes an odd sleep through!) and they tend to be really quick! Haven’t had to give a bottle since we finished the training plan (about 2 months ago). Rosy helped us break the ‘fall asleep on us’ habit we were in and the better nights followed! She’s uses a gentle approach which suited us. Now our little one puts herself to sleep! It was a really tough couple weeks of training (also some teething!) but we stuck with the plan and it really has paid off enormously for us all. Would highly recommend Rosy!

We got in touch with Rosy when our 11 month old boy was waking frequently in the evening and then often spending one or two hours awake in the early hours of the morning. Within two weeks of Rosy’s gentle sleep plan and support, he was no longer needing a bottle overnight, could settle himself in his cot and was starting to sleep through the night! We would not hesitant to recommend Rosy - she is knowledgeable, warm and reassuring and most importantly recognises the needs of little ones and their sleep deprived parents!

Working with Rosy has been truly life changing. Before I'd met her, I wasn't in a happy place as exhaustion took its toll on me. My baby girl was sleeping in my bed and waking up countless times a night. On a successful night I would get 2-3 hours of sleep. Thanks to Rosy's expertise and sustained support, my baby now only sleeps in her cot and wakes up a lot less frequently (we actually have many nights where she only wakes up once for a feed). I have finally started to feel human again and enjoy my maternity leave. I couldn't recommend Rosy enough, she's a lovely lady, very passionate about what she does and implicitly very good at her job.Thank you so much Rosy for bringing the joy and energy back into my life! xx

We would highly recommend Rosy if you are having difficulties with your baby’s sleep. Her support has been invaluable to us as a family.My 15 month old son was almost petrified of his cot and was unable to settle himself to go to sleep. This then meant that every night we were having to push him to sleep in his pushchair or drive him around so that he’d fall asleep in his car seat. Alongside this, he would then wake up quite a few times during the night and would need milk to then settle back to sleep. Every night, at some point, I’d be so tired that he’d end up in our bed and would then toss and turn all night still waking up regularly.Then we started to work with Rosy and things seemed to instantly get better. Rosy was so kind and understanding from the beginning and I felt like she really listened and understood what we were going through. She put together a personalised plan and supported us through messaging and calls to check in on how everything was going and to offer more support. At first I was unsure if Jude’s sleep could improve, however, within a few nights of following the plan, he was able to settle himself to sleep and sleep through the night. During those first couple of tricky nights, Rosy taught us how to persevere so he stayed in his cot and helped us to gradually stop the milk during the night for Jude too. We were amazed by the results and how quickly things transformed.Thanks to Rosy we now have structure at bed time and Jude seems happy going up to his room. This is such a relief to us and we now have our evenings back! We cannot thank Rosy enough for her support.

We are so glad we made the decision to contact Rosy and seek her support!We were having huge difficulties with our 18 month old's sleep - bedtime battles, frequent night wakes and an over-reliance on milk feeds throughout the night (in a desperate attempt to stop his screaming!)We've now got to a stage where our little one actually wants to go to bed and will point to his cot to let us know he's ready to go to sleep. Rosy is very knowledgeable and her guidance is clearly based on sound scientific fact, but more importantly, she is kind and supportive and takes the time to really understand your individual issues and concerns. Her approach is gentle and she will only give advice which feels right for you and your little one.What's more, Rosy has given us the confidence to deal with any future sleep problems which may come our way. We've been through a tricky patch of illness recently but we were able to get back on track with our son's sleep quickly, efficiently and with confidence.Rosy is wonderful and we would absolutely recommend her. Thank you so much Rosy!

I wholeheartedly recommend Rosy to anyone looking for a gentle sleep-training method. Rosy's approach is warm, caring, yet very efficient: in less than a week, our 8-month-old became comfortable falling asleep on her own, in her crib, and we did not have to leave her alone for a second in the process. It truly felt like we were teaching her a valuable new skill, rather than letting her down (which I had previously feared). Since then, she is in a better mood even during the day.Rosy remained available to advise us several months later when we encountered some new issues after we'd moved, and reconnecting with her sort of felt like talking to an old friend. It's so rare in this world to find a professional who is as warm, humane and helpful as Rosy is.

We would recommend Rosy 1000 times over! If you are having trouble with your little ones sleep, but want to help them with a totally gentle, baby-led approach then Rosy is the person you are looking for. Our 9 month old baby was only napping thirty minutes at a time, waking up almost every hour in the night and would often be awake for 2+ hours in his night wakes. He now has 2+hour naps, falls asleep within five minutes or less and sleeps through the night - all in under two weeks of working with Rosy and absolutely no leaving him to cry. I was hesitant to use a sleep consultant as I assumed it would involve leaving my baby whilst he was upset but this wasn’t the case at all - Rosy’s methods include making sure baby feels safe, secure and happy in their sleep space. Before getting in touch with Rosy, I was so exhausted that I was not able to give 100% to my baby during the day and be the parent he deserved, and my previously super happy and chilled out baby was grumpy all day as he was so tired too. His sleep improved immediately, from the first night we implemented the sleep plan Rosy created for us, and so did his mood in the day - as did my ability to be a present parent to him. He is like a different baby than he was two weeks ago, his development has improved massively which I put down to him now having the sleep he needs. Having Rosy just a message away to check nap and bedtimes with, and ask questions or share any concerns was so valuable, and made the whole process enjoyable. We are so grateful that we found Rosy and we really would recommend her to anyone. Thank you, Rosy, for getting our happy little boy back, and allowing us to be the parents he deserves again. We truly cannot fault any part of the help we received.

Rosy’s guidance totally changed our baby’s sleep. In the evenings putting our little one was taking us around 2h (there have been nights where it was even 4h as she kept waking up all the time). Our nights were equally difficult, she was waking up every 2h and at times even every hour. Rosy ‘s approach was to follow our baby’s natural rhythm and figure out what she needs. Thanks to her suggestions, our baby’s sleep and therefore many aspects of our lives have easily transformed to a very positive experience. Talking to Rosy also eased the way I was approaching our daughter’s sleep and we naturally settled into a lovely rhythm for both her naps as well as her night sleep. I loved how Rosy guided us to find our natural way and away from misguided sleep suggestions that as first time parents we kept reading online. Thanks to her, bed time is no longer a frustrating time for us and our little one gets the sleep she needs. Rosy also kindly kept offering her guidance as our daughter’s needs changed over time. We are very grateful!
