Blissful Bedtime now Emma Lambert Sleep Nanny

My 5 month old daughter had never slept in a cot, she’d only ever fed to sleep in bed with me, naps were a shambles and I was up most of the night feeding her. Emma helped us create a clear plan and within a few days things completely turned around- my baby is now taking 2 1.5 hour naps a day in her cot, and sleeping in her cot all night long with just a couple of feeds. The difference is amazing! I feel like I’ve got my life back, everyone is happier. Emma is lovely, kind and supporting to work with, Thankyou! X

I found out about Emma through a baby group I go to. At the time our little boy was 10m & waking 2-3 times every night and would only settle after having a feed. He would also leak his nappy most nights due to all the milk he was drinking! I thought that he needed this milk, hence why I continued with it, but I’ve now realised that we were literally feeding the problem! Our little boy would also only nap in a buggy or in the car. We explained all of this to Emma in our intro video call and Emma said she could help reduce night wakes and the feed to sleep association, plus introduce cot naps. We knew straight away we were in safe hands.It all felt a little daunting to start with but we made some massive realisations straight away, one being that the Euan the Dream Sheep was not aiding his sleep at all, quite the opposite actually. Part of our phased plan was to sit next to our little boy at bedtime until he fell asleep… the first time I did this the sheep was playing in his cot, as normal, baby was tossing and turning in the cot, and the instant the sheep finished its 20min lullaby he relaxed and fell asleep!!! The second it stopped!! We quickly worked through the different stages of helping our baby settle, and introducing a “dreamfeed” initially.. it was great to have ongoing structure and support from Emma. We would check in most days and she’d give us some pointers to tweak the plan. It was great, so even when we were all awake at 4am trying to help baby resettle, it was all in the plan, and I believed in it and Emma.I really liked Emma’s approach to helping our little boy sleep… it was all about reassuring him and comforting him, letting him know we were there for him, and giving him the skills and independence to learn how to settle back to sleep himself. There was no shutting the door and letting him “cry it out”. The thought of that just didn’t sit right with me.We paid for a support package with Emma, where we had a number of video calls and email support. We would email Emma with our little boy’s sleep log every few days, which detailed how much sleep he’d had during the day, the wake windows, bedtime, and settling times. Also any notes pre and post midnight. Emma would then come back to us with suggestions. For us this worked really well.And the results speak for themselves. We have gone from late bedtimes, 2-3 wake ups during the night (for milk), plus only sleeping in the buggy or car… and us generally being really fed up, upset, exhausted from the constant broken nights and nap battles.. to…A 12month old that can now sleep through the night!!!! We haven’t given him milk during the night for weeks. He regularly sleeps for 1.5-2hours in the COT!! And we generally feel so much more in tune with his sleep needs, and we have a happier baby, and we’re happier parents as a result! We truly recommend Emma and the Sleep Nanny programme, it’s worth every single penny! X

Hands down the best money we have spent since our baby was born. We went for the biggest package Emma does, for the most support, and we don’t regret a single penny of it.Our son was never a great sleeper, but when he hit 4 months it went drastically downhill. He was awake every 45 mins, would only feed back to sleep and would scream and cry if he wasn’t. We ended up co-sleeping and was barely sleeping at all. I thought it was the 4-month sleep regression, but after 6.5 weeks of this, I was broken. I just wish we’d contacted Emma sooner, although it worked well that we could move him straight into his cot in his room when we started working with Emma, as he was just turning 6 months.Emma spent a lot of time walking us through the process, but also made sure we were happy and comfortable. The first night was hard, as it was different for him, but he picked it up so quickly. We loved that we were with him all the time whilst he learnt, supporting him, rather than leaving him. By night 7 he slept through the night for the first time (that didn’t happen every night, but it was an indication that he knew how and that it was possible).Emma was always available via email and we sent a log each day, then she would make tweaks and amendments, or just give us the encouragement to keep going. The video calls were great to be able to delve into those little queries further.It was so nice that naps were no longer a massive fight and bedtime was, and still is, genuinely blissful. Thank you Emma! You changed our lives by giving me back my sleep. I went from existing and merely surviving parenthood, to loving it and enjoying the experience.

We decided to work with Emma after we struggled to get my 10 month daughter to sleep through the night and self settle independently. I had got stuck in a routine of always breastfeeding her to sleep, after trying to survive the first 5 months of colic. We had attempted a sleep training method that we had used for our first child but unfortunately hadn’t worked, as she would get so distressed and be sick multiple times. Day time naps would be in a buggy and typically last 40 mins relying on motion to keep her asleep. I had lost my confidence to use my intuition and was conscious of my return to work, as was still waking 2-3 times a night.Emma guided us through a tailored sleep plan and took the time to understand our main ‘aims’, all at a pace we felt comfortable with. I’m not saying it was easy but having someone there to talk to as reassurance really helped. Since completing the course my daughter self settles and sleeps through with the majority of day naps in the cot.My daughter has just started with a childminder and I have felt much more relaxed returning to work knowing she now has these skills to get to sleep. Emma is a pleasure to work with and it’s revolutionised sleep in our household.

Emma has changed our lives. We approached Emma to work with her when our son was 4months old. He was waking every 40mins to 1.5hrs throughout the night, barely napping and only when rocked or motion to sleep. We were absolutely exhausted and all three of us in need of help. Emma was constantly on hand to help whenever we needed it even on weekends and evenings when she knew we needed her. Our son, now 7 months, sleeps in his own cot by peacefully settling himself, only 1/2 night wakings and naps so well and easily in the day. The process was supportive and reassuring as well as kind and sensitive of the individual needs of our son. From where we were to where we are now is just unbelievable and we are so grateful for our time working with Emma. We would recommend her to anyone who is struggling with newborn sleep.

My baby wouldn’t sleep through the night and would wake up every 2 hours on a good day! After sleep school, he was sleeping through the night within 5 days! Emma was understanding and came armed with tools and tweaks to help improve sleep for all!

I was embarrassed to contact a sleep consultant as I felt a bit like a failure being a first time mum but I did after reading so much conflicting advice online and hearing mums talk about their baby sleeping through (nothing worse when you’re sleep deprived). It was the best thing we did! Emma made me feel at ease straight away and hopeful. My 8 month was waking every 40 minutes which become exhausting and she was genuinely unhappy about going to sleep however Emma educated us not only on her sleep but her as a baby which made a lot of sense. I never wanted to chose a cry it out method or leave her when she was unhappy and I didn’t. She sleeps through but one wake for a feed! Save your money on a useless nct course and put it by just in case you need help with your baby’s sleep. Thanks Emma x

We contacted Emma as our 11 month old had got into such a bad routine with sleep (not napping properly, up for hours in the night and late bedtime), we were really struggling with the lack of sleep! Emma was brilliant and talked us step by step through a plan, which worked within a week! Our daughter now sleeps 12-13 hours a night with a consistent early bedtime. We couldn’t be more grateful for help and support from Emma, would definitely recommend!

Emma's advice has been invaluable to us as a family. Her gentle and holistic approach allowed us to train our 9 month old daughter from chaotic co-sleeping to self-settling in her own bedroom and sleeping through most nights. It was only with the support of Emma that we were able to do this and I can't recommend her services enough. Her kind and loving approach left us feeling supported and confident in what could have been a very tumultuous time. Although not without its difficulties, Emma equipped us with the tools and attitude to push through and we are all now much happier and 100% more rested. If you're considering working with Emma, take this as your sign to do it.

I highly recommend Emma if you feel you need a sleep trainer. My husband and I used Emma’s services to help get our 9 month old son to sleep through the night and not wake at 5.30am each day! My husband and I both had different ideas of how to make progress with this and Emma helped us to join our ideas together in a way that would be comfortable for us all. Her plan was very much tailored to us as a family and I am very pleased to say that since our consultation our son has been sleeping past 6am every day and barring 1 proactive feed before we go to sleep, he is sleeping through from 7pm! Fantastic result. Thanks Emma for all your help.
