Testimonials
We are incredibly grateful for Bryony’s guidance and support to get our 7-month old, whose sleep regression meant she was waking 4-6 times a night and wanting only contact naps, to sleep through the night with just one breastfeeding dream feed. It was just right for us - a plan, daily support, troubleshooting and advice for the next steps. We are also much more confident in how we will handle future challenges that affect her sleep. Thank you!

‘‘We’ve had a superb experience working with Bryony! Our little boy was 10months and waking several times in the night. Over a few weeks he gradually improved and now sleeps through the night ! We couldnt be happier with the results. With Bryony’s help, we were able to sleep-coach our little boy in a loving, kind and gentle way. Would highly recommend Bryony’s support to anyone !’’

‘‘Wish we had heard about Bryony earlier! Once we'd started putting Bryony's advice into practice our son was instantly a better sleeper. We went from waking up 2 to 4 times a night and sometimes staying awake for 2 hours at a time, to sleeping through the night. She was so reassuring and I wrote down her words of wisdom to reread before tackling the night shift. I still have her words in my head. It's been a while since our wrap up session and it's still going well. We have made it through illnesses and teething since the coaching and we feel really confident that we now know what to do. I would fully recommend working with Bryony.’’

FAQs
-
No. I provide an alternative approach to mainstream ‘sleep training’; I do not use cry-it-out or controlled crying methods. Saying that, it’s important to understand that the ‘gentle’ aspect of my approach is based on the parents being present and responsive when implementing changes, rather than there being ‘no tears’.
-
No. There is no reason that we can’t improve your baby or child’s sleep whilst breastfeeding.
-
I won’t make you do anything you don’t feel comfortable with or you feel won’t suit your baby’s needs and temperament. A dummy or comforter can actually be helpful tools in aiding sleep.
-
If you are ready to make this change, we can tackle it within our sleep plan however it’s very possible to improve sleep without your baby or child sleeping in their own room.
-
Because of limited research on sleep training and babies under 6 months i don’t advocate doing so. I have a newborn package for babies under 6 months, a single advice session for any age and a complete package for 6 months+.
-
I use methods that come under the umbrella of ‘behavioural fading’ (rather than extinction or graduated extinction i.e. cry-it-out/controlled crying). This approach allows you to respond to your child and slowly ease off your assistance in getting them to sleep to teach them independent sleep skills.
