Lucy and Rob parents of Poppy 16 months say:

We had IVF so Poppy was very precious. By the time she was 13 months we'd only ever had 2 full nights' sleep! I felt I was wading through a mist of nights and days and never really seeing sunlight. To be honest we were dubious and very anxious when we went to Sleepy-Tots. I just remember the sheer relief I felt telling Maggie everything! She was so calm and reassuring and I felt I could instantly trust her. She gave us both the confidence to follow through the plan.

I'm proud to say Poppy is now sleeping 11-12 hours at night and if she doesn't have a 2 hour daytime nap she's gets really miserable. Now she need's her sleep. The difference in her and us is staggering.

Megan mother of Harry 10 months says:

Harry wore me out. Even the health visitor said he was a feisty baby. Boy was she right! After 9 months of breastfeeding 2 – 3 times a night I was exhausted. I knew I shouldn't be feeding him but I'm on my own and working full time. I suspected nursery was leaving him to sleep too long during the day but they assured me he was sleeping the same amount as all the other babies of his age.

Harry responded well to Sleepy-Tots plan. After a week he only woke once and just over 2 weeks he slept his first full night ever. It was like a miracle!  I'm not saying it was easy. The 4th and 5th night I nearly gave up but Deb kept me going. I'm so glad I did. I can really enjoy him now.

Tori and Alex parents of Reuben 4 years and Lauren 2yrs and 3 months say:

I can honestly say our marriage was on the brink (not that I realised that at the time). Our first son Reuben had always slept really well and I just didn't anticipate any problems with Lauren. She was fine at first but when she started crawling everything changed. She seemed to “hype up” in some way and was always on the go and would kick up with intense crying every time I tried to put her in her cot. I caved in and she slept with us. But by her second birthday we'd had enough.  Luckily I met Maggie and Deb in Mothercare and after talking to Alex we decided anything was worth a go.

I felt really stupid not being able to manage my own child especially as Reuben had always slept but every child is different. After only 2 weeks of following the plan Lauren was curling up in her cot bed without a peep. Take my advice and get help. We had over a year of needless misery.

Annalise and Mark parents of Lily nearly 4 years say:

Of course I love Lily but I didn't love her yelling and shouting at us several times a night. I couldn't sleep properly because I knew what was coming. Every night filled me with dread. She'd go down fine - I'd had her in a good bed-time routine from early on.  It came to the crunch when she refused to let Mark settle her. She'd sit up in her bed and yell and scream, "I need you mummy". One night I was up every hour!

Not only that pre-school told me she was biting and hitting other children. I was absolutely horrified my child had turned into a monster. At home she ruled the roost and I felt she was more in control than me. I felt embarrassed telling Deb but she reassured me poor sleep and difficult behaviour go together. Now she's sleeping well and the difference in her mood is amazing. Thank God we found Sleepy-Tots.
