A positive transition to parenthood

Sarah has been a LIFESAVER with our first baby girl!

From day 1, Sarah would be available around the clock to help with advice on how to settle her, good habits to get her into from a very young age and just constant support and assurance for the paranoid mumma that I am!

Our baby girl is now 4 months old and is in a predictable routine, with 3 naps a day, bed time at 6:30 and waking at 7:30am.

Sarah has been one of the biggest pillars of support in my journey as a new mumma and I wouldn’t have been able to do this without her <3

I have become one of 'those' smug mums thanks to Sarah! 

My baby has been sleeping through the night (95% of the time) since 8 weeks old.

There was no aggressive sleep training, it was just simple and small changes that made a big difference for both my baby and I.

Under Sarah's guidance I gained the confidence to read my baby's cues, when he needed me vs when he was trying to soothe himself.

With Sarah's recommended age appropriate routines my baby was doing his day naps and sleeping overnight with little assistance and as a result we are both thriving! I can't recommend Swoop Baby enough!

When things were feeling a bit relentless Sarah swooped in and saved the day.

Nothing impacts a Mothers outlook and resilience more than sleep. I am SO grateful.

The biggest impact of our short time with Sarah was the impact on my marriage! The relentless false starts, wakes, stress and sleep deprivation was really taking its toll and our short time working with Sarah really did help our whole family.

I've always been a bit apprehensive about "sleep training" but Sarah put me at ease and gave me the confidence to make adjustments I felt comfortable with, all of which actually made a huge difference, quickly.

During and post influenza Sarah really helped support both ME and my little one. The flu turned all things sleep and routine on its head but being able to call on Sarah during, and have her guide me afterwards to get things back on track made a world of difference.

Some real sleep witchery!

We cannot recommend Sarah enough, we went all in! Purchasing the 3 overnight night stays. Whilst my husband and I slept downstairs, Sarah worked her magic (some real sleep witchery!). She had our little boy going from waking 5-6 times a night, plus demand feeding, to sleeping 6-7 hour blocks and 2 night feeds- in TWO nights... what the!

After two nights of great sleep for us parents Sarah hand held us through night three, supporting and guiding us with resettling and understanding our boys cries. Sarah’s gentle approach to sleep training our Jesse made us feel very comfortable and we now have the confidence and tools to ensure we get that precious sleep, we thought was a long lost friend! THANK YOU!

Sarah is the cheerleader everyone needs in their corner during the wild ride that is baby and toddler sleep!

She took the time to really connect and get to know me and my boys; taking on board my parenting style, the boys’ temperaments as well as the ins and outs of our weekly commitments to tailor a practical and effective approach which worked!

My little boy, Henry, now goes to sleep without fuss and stays in his own bed all night, and my baby, Arthur, is in a predictable nap routine and sleeps from 6:30pm-6:30am! Sarah is the most warm and positive person and was amazing to communicate with, touching base often to celebrate our successes and keep me motivated.

Thank you Sarah for your guidance and support!

Sarah is the Mary Poppins of sleep. 

Our nine month old was waking five times a night unsettled with feeds the only way to get her back to sleep, but now she sleeps through (7pm-6.30am without crying out). We had tried sleep training at six months ourselves and had given up after two weeks of no progress. We didn’t know what to do so called in for help at nine months and we certainly got it.

Sarah was really caring and listened to us and our parenting style and routines. She was more than happy to accommodate our style but still provided expert advice to get us on track. Sarah developed an individual plan which was more than a sleep plan; it was a whole routine and feeding plan. Within days of implementing the plan things started to turn around. Sarah was there with us every step of the way and we even used her for residential help to break the cycle.

She gave us the tools we then used to keep the momentum up and we had progress every night until our little girl started sleeping through after just over a week. Sarah even helped us with our older child whose bedtime had come off the rails. I now feel confident that I can support both my children, at their different ages, to get a good sleep.

Reaching out to Sarah was such a good decision.

I am so grateful for all the support and guidance Sarah has provided my family in order to help my baby sleep better.

I have a 10 months old baby. Before the sleep training he couldn’t self settle, was waking up at night for bottle feeds and had limited intake of solids. After just a week my boy self-settles, he sleeps through the night and he is eating solids. What an amazing transformation!

Sarah’s knowledge, ideas and the comprehensive sleep plan were very helpful. It feels so great to have my sleep back and to know my baby gets his sleep too.

Thank you Sarah.

Our three year old’s bed routine had slipped out of control.

Bedtime had started to take 30-45 minutes with lots of ‘just one more book’, ‘just one more lullaby’, ‘just one more cuddle’, ‘come check on me in 5 minutes’. Some nights it would take him two hours to fall asleep with lots of help from us. With the help of Sarah and her advice we were able to set up routines that worked for us as a family but gave us parents back the control. Sarah listened to our goals and challenges and created a plan for us that was achievable. She checked in with us as we put our new routine in place and provided lots of encouragement and suggestions when we had minor setbacks. We have noticed our child is no longer overtired.

Sarah was even able to help with his sibling’s bedtime routine making us all enjoy bedtime more.

Matilda had been such a good sleeper until all of a sudden without no obvious warning signs, things changed quickly.

Night wakes and sudden crying up for no apparent reason meant that restful nights of the past were no longer the norm. We were taking turns sleeping cot-side with no escape and little sleep. Dazed and confused, we needed help!

Sarah was able to clearly identify the likely cause of the sudden change in behaviour, and helped us put a plan in place that was so effective we saw a rapid improvement within 24hrs.

We can’t thank Sarah enough and would definitely recommend her to anyone else needing help/support and a better nights sleep!

Sarah has the magic touch and brought some much needed sleep back to our house.

She took the time to understand our family and developed a plan that would work for us. Our son responded quickly to her calm approach and adjustments, and having the extra contact after her visit meant we could stay on track and ask questions as we implemented her suggestions. We recently used Sarah again to help with a new routine now our son is older and within a few days his naps were lengthening and he was only having one feed a night.
