Anyone know if a sleep advisor/trainer?

My son is the king of sleep cycles. I'm desperate. He's tired. Any recommendations please on someone I call would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Nicola from child sleep solutions is brilliant. V sympathetic and will come up with a plan to suit you. She gets mentioned on here a lot.

We used a sleep trainer called Hannah Love at the Yummy Baby Group (easy to find on a Google search). She was fantastic and we will be using her again for our second child due shortly. My son was 5 months old when we started and still waking approx 25 times a night (no joke). We will all loosing our sanity. Hannah doesn't visit in person but advises by phone / email for as long as it takes to solve the issue. She worked with us until our son was going to sleep on his own and staying asleep - we saw a massive improvement within a week or so and then the rest was fine tuning. I honestly can't recommend her enough. Oh, and no controlled crying - just gently teaching reliable sleep cues until he could sleep on his own. 18 months on and we still use the sleep cues and he is still a good sleeper (normally...).

try Night Nannies. They have great troubleshooter nannies. Wish I had known about them earlier!

Nic Watson changed our lives...

Night Nannies did it for us. Sorting out sleep was the best money we ever spent in all the cash you spend on young kids.

Another vote for Nicola Watson...

We used Night Nannies and they were excellent.

We used Night Nannies as well. Had one great and one less than great experience. PM me if you want names to ask for/avoid.

Another vote for Nicola here! My 7 month old was waking every 2 hrs through the night and having had a consult with her and a looong weekend of implementing her suggestions he now sleeps 11-12 hrs straight!

Nicola Watson from childsleepsolutions was a godsend for us!! Simply amazing! Found her thanks to the forum.

Thanks everyone. I've paid up and spoken to nicola and hoping for some full nights soon!

I've just used night nannies and my 6 month old has gone from waking 5 or 6 times a night to doing 12 hours which has been totally life changing! We did try and do it ourselves but failed miserably - if you're not tough enough, I thoroughly recommend paying the money - which was a significant sum for us - as he and we are all 100% happier.

Hiveson - how long did it take for that to work? We are considering getting someone in. Thanks! X
