Blissful Bambino

I can not thank Sophie enough for what she has done for our family. Myself and my wife have two sons, our oldest is 3 and a half years old, our youngest is almost 2 years old. Before meeting Sophie we had not had a single night where both boys had slept through during the same night…. In 3 and a half years we had less than 10 nights in total where just one child slept through.We reached out to blissful for help, in truth I was not expecting miracles but we felt like we had exhausted all options and we had nothing to lose. It was one of the best decisions our family has made. Sophie came to our house, met us & the boys and watched our routine during the evening. After both boys were asleep Sophie myself and my wife sat down to make a plan for the coming weeks. Our plan was very gentle, we did not do any ‘controlled crying’ and Sophie tailored the plan to suit our family & what we wanted/needed.After only 4 weeks both boys started sleeping through the night consistently, both have dropped the amount of milk they were drinking. In turn their eating has improved vastly. Everything is so much better.I can not thank Sophie enough for everything she has done, if you’re having any second thoughts on getting her help for your family, then please don’t doubt it and contact her straight away. You won’t regret it!

Blissful Bambino are amazing! We have worked with Faye to help with the sleep of both of our children. She was so warm, supportive and reassuring from our first meeting to every follow up email. She gave brilliant advice and helped create a sleep plan that fitted with what we felt comfortable with. There was never a question about leaving our children to cry and Faye always helped us get back on track when teething or developmental changes put hurdles in our path. We now have two children who healthily self settle at naps and bedtime. We have recommended Blissful Bambino to friends as their kind, nurturing approach has been invaluable to us.Jo and John - Nov 2020 and June 2022

Life changing! I never know how we survived those first few months with a baby who would only ever nap for 20 minutes! Faye was like a fairy godmother to us and was so kind and supportive, willing us to succeed. She felt like my own personal cheerleader in the ungodly hours and we got there! A pretty much painless way to getting a child who napped and slept through. Sleep deprivation is certainly torture and I can never say enough good things about Blissful Bambino to thank them for their help!

Our 10 month old was waking up repeatedly in the night, sometimes 9 times a night or more. I was having to rock or feed her to sleep every time. I also rocked her to sleep at bedtime.I was resistant to approaching a consultant, as I felt like a bit of a failure if I had to admit that I needed help. My husband found Blissful Bambino, though, and contacted them. As soon as I spoke to Faye on the phone for an introductory chat, I completely changed my mind and couldn't wait to get started! It was clear from the outset that her opinions aligned completely with mine, that the happiness and wellbeing of the babies was top priority. No crying-it-out or causing distress to the little ones.We started just before lockdown and made good progress, however we chose to complete the support perhaps a little sooner than we should have. Lockdown caused various disruptions and I fell back into some bad habits and was not as consistent as I needed to be.About three months later we got back in touch with Faye and recommenced our coaching and support. This time Faye had to take into consideration that lockdown had made our daughter a lot more clingy and attached, which meant an even gentler approach was required. It all went extremely well, though.When we completed the support, our daughter had gone from needing to be rocked to sleep at night, to falling asleep without me in the room at all. I wouldn't have thought it was possible! Instead of waking up multiple times throughout the night, she was often sleeping through, or waking up only once after a very long stretch of sleep. It really did seem like a miracle! The methods and support that Faye gave worked so well and made such a complete different to our daughter's sleep.I cannot recommend Faye enough. I am so glad my husband found Blissful Bambino as they have made such a difference to our family and our life. I wouldn't hesitate to get back in touch if we needed help with anything else in the future.

We worked with the lovely Faye who has helped us a lot. The gentle sleep methods have helped us to understand our baby, and also provide a calmer, positive bedtime experience. We were completely against any cry it out methods, and although this has taken a bit longer, it’s been very positive and our boy now sleeps through 3 out of 7 nights and is improving all of the time. Faye was understanding, non judgemental and patient with us and has such a lovely way about her. A pleasure to work with and wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to her again if we needed help.

Faye has given us invaluable help and advice with both of our children over the years, and if we were having another then I wouldn't hesitate to be in contact with her again (although there is very little chance of that happening!! :D). She is calm, supportive, knowledgeable and so lovely. Every time we met with her, we instantly felt relaxed and knew we were speaking to the right person. Everything in our sleep plan was explained to us, and we were comfortable with every aspect (something that is very important to Faye). The things we have learnt have helped us in so many aspects of our children's sleep and beyond. They now both sleep wonderfully and wake up relaxed (as do we, some of the time!). If you are thinking about making contact with Blissful Bambino for whatever reason, I would recommend it in a heartbeat.

We would most warmly recommend Blissful Bambino to any parents who are struggling with their little ones to sleep but don’t want to leave them to cry alone. Faye came and observed our bedtime routine in person (August 2022) and had a detailed meeting with us in which she gave us advice tailored to our baby’s needs. Our nightly wake ups have reduced with the support we’ve been given. Thankyou!

Hiring Faye and Blissful Bambino was one of the best decisions we made as parents. Our then 20 months old daughter would go to bed very late and end up co-sleeping with us most nights. Thanks to the sleep training, she now falls asleep at a reasonable time at night and prefers sleeping in her cot to sleeping in our bed! Furthermore, she drank an incredible amount of milk for her age and thanks to Faye, she is now only drinking one bottle per day. And, we all have a routine to follow now in the evenings, which is good for us parents, too. We still have some work to do but our daughter’s sleep and eating habits have improved more than we would have thought was possible in such a short space of time. What I really liked about Faye’s approach is that she gave us a choice of methods to use and that she replied very thoroughly to my daily emails with clear instructions to follow. It has helped me so much to have someone that you are accountable to and that gives you guidance throughout this process. I probably would not have seen this through without Faye by my side. Given how much time Faye must have spent on those emails, I think the £210 are actually a bargain. So, if you are struggling with your child’s sleep, hiring Blissful Bambino is the best investment that you can make! Thank you so much, Faye, for all your help.

Sophie came to help us with our son who was 20 months old at the time and would wake for milk in the night, sometimes on more than one occasion, every night. I was heavily pregnant with our daughter at the time and we really needed him to sleep through before she arrived. Sophie met our little boy, spent time with him and us, getting to know what he was like and what his routine was like and within 3 nights, with all Sophie's advice and support from the initial meeting and over email, he was sleeping through the night. It was such a huge relief that we could be confident that he would sleep through the night when our daughter arrived. It really did feel as though she had worked miracles! We have since asked Sophie back to help with our daughter who was 14 months at the time as she was waking numerous times during the evening and would only settle with me and then would co-sleep through the night rather than going back in her cot. Again, Sophie spent time getting to know our daughter and came up with a plan which we stuck to and again, by night 3, our daughter was sleeping through the night beautifully which made a huge positive difference to us all as a family. I would definitely recommend Blissful Bambino! Sophie has made such a huge positive difference to us all.

We had really useful advice from Faye with getting our four year old to sleep independently through the night. Alongside all the advice we were also given lots of reassurance to give us the confidence to stick with it. We are less than a couple of weeks in and have already seen huge progress. Our experience has been nothing but very positive!
