Sleep like a baby Sleep Consultant Reviews

I contacted Rachel after she reached out to me on a Cardiff mums facebook group following my desperate plea for help with my daughters sleep who is 7 months. I was really struggling with sleep deprivation due to my daughter waking sometimes 6 times a night and failing to go back to sleep for sometime. My daughter was very irritable during the day due to the lack of sleep she was getting during the night with her wake windows being much less than her age recommended too. From the get go, Rachel was super understanding and helpful and you could tell she really wanted to help us as a family. We managed to get an appointment the same week which gave me some hope to push through the week with optimisim. We had a video call on Saturday just under a week today and I was really hoping for a miracle - we have had pretty much just that! The call was informative, rachel gave us different options for us to pick on what suited us as parents in how we moved forward and made sure she had a full understanding of Isla. What I liked most of all though was the reassurance that I really needed as a mum at one of my lowest times, that actually I was doing a good job and there was already lots of positives to Isla's routine that we had implemented. Since our appointment Rachel had been on hand for any questions I have and has got back to me promptly! Isla has gone from relying on contact naps and rocking to sleep, to sleeping in her own cot both for naps (unless we are on the go) and night time. Since night 1 of the plan she has slept 10.5 hours atleast! We got an 11.5 hour night out of her too! We have gone from night 1 taking 50 minutes to go to sleep by herself to tonight.. 7 minutes. We have not had a wake up once! I know we see progress each night! If you are struggling with your little ones sleep I highly reccommend Rachel. For us as a family it was just got sustainable continuing as we were. We are all so much happier now we are getting the sleep we needed and the house is cleaner as I have time to catch up on things when Isla is napping during the day - winning! Big thank you - you have honestly made the biggest difference!

I contacted Rachel for help with my eleven month old son's sleep before I returned to work. She was professional, kind and reassuring and we felt confident to follow the personalised plan that she created for us. Within three days he was sleeping over eleven hours continuously after waking every 2-4 hours every night since he was born. I found having the follow up daily contacts with Rachel extremely helpful and encouraging and we were also able to make some tweaks to the schedule. I thoroughly recommend Rachel to anyone struggling with sleep deprivation secondary to their baby's sleep, she has made a huge difference to us.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Rachel. Her guidance and expertise has transformed our 21 month olds sleep. From multiple wake ups to sleeping through in under 10 days. Her reassurance and flexibility to our needs combined with her confidence on the evidence based method was exactly what I needed to take the leap! Thank you.

Rachel is so helpful and makes you feel at ease, our first appointment was great she covered everything and really listened to what I had to say, I never felt any pressure but knew she would always be there for any problems we had🩷

A few weeks ago I contacted Rachel to book a consultation! My son was 15 months and the only way he would go to sleep was to breastfeed and he was waking every 40-60 minutes throughout the entire night. Rachel was friendly, approachable, understanding and respectful. After our call I came away feeling incredibly refreshed and listened to! 2 weeks since our consultation and my husband has been able to settle him to sleep for the first time in months, hes gone to only waking once in the night and he and I are so much happier. Thank you so much Rachel x

100%recommend! We’ve been sleepless for a long time. But recently, Heidi and I have been bed sharing to get some sleep. I contacted Rachel and she emailed me a questionnaire full of questions about our routine and current sleeping habits. This was followed by a draft sleep plan, and an hour WhatsApp call to discuss further and for her to offer some ideas. I left that call with a clear knowledge of what I was going to do- a gentle plan to encourage Heidi to go to sleep independently so that she could go back to sleep easily during the night if she did wake. Simple changes like night light colour, where we read the bedtime story, along with bigger changes like her going to sleep in bed (rather than cuddling me). The gradual movement of my position got me from next to her bed holding hands (night 1) to sitting outside her bedroom with the door ALMOST shut and the gate shut (night 13). In that two weeks, Heidi has had ⭐️ one initial ‘checking I was there’ night, with us up for near an hour ⭐️ six full nights sleep ⭐️ three nights waking for a quick wee then straight back to sleep ⭐️ one horror Rachel was on hand through it all, messaging motivation and congratulations- and tips in case I needed any further guidance. She is absolutely amazing, and I would 100% recommend anyone with sleep issues to contact her.

Found Rachel after my partner and I were struggling with our almost 8 month old. Our son was waking up to 6 times a night, twice for a bottle but the other times to have a moan and groan.. after months of this and lack of sleep coming between us we booked the one off package with Rachel. After filling out a detailed questionnaire, we had our face to face meeting with Rachel, Rachel broke everything down for us, helped us understand the reason for doing certain things and alternative methods if we didn’t feel comfortable with what she was suggesting, Rachel emailed us a lengthy sleep schedule and after 2 weeks of putting it into practice, our son now naps in his cot on his own and wakes just once for a bottle and goes straight back to sleep afterwards. For us this is amazing and without Rachel we couldn’t have done it! I have already recommended Rachel to my other mum friends and would recommend to anyone who is struggling, very happy with the service provided, thank you again!

Amazing and really supportive. Cannot recommend enough. Our nearly 2 year old was waking 4/5 times a night for at least half hour a time. In just a week they wake with misty a small grizzle and started self settling with Rachael's guidence. Cannot thank them enough.

We would highly recommend Rachel and her services. After years of our 4 year old waking in the night, Rachel provided us with a variety of tips and methods to help us/him improve his sleep. Our son is now much happier and sleeping through the night. Thank you so much Rachel.

Couldn't recommend highly enough. We were at breaking point as the baby wasn't sleeping in the night properly. We had a great video meeting with Rachel, where she made us feel at ease straight away. She explained things in a way that made us feel we were not getting it all wrong and could crack the sleep. Rachel provided us with all the information to start sleep training and was there through the process if we had any questions or needed help. We now have a baby that sleeps through the night and goes down easily, which has made a world of difference. We are happily recommending the service to friends and family.

I would definitely recommend any mums/dads that are struggling with getting their little ones to bed/asleep to work with Rachel at sleep like a baby - she has been an absolute life saver. We went from hourly wake ups, to sleeping from 6:30pm - 4:30am without any wake ups within a couple of weeks. Even when waking our little one has now developed the ability to self soothe herself without needing to be breastfed back to sleep. This is something I never thought I would be able to achieve. Rachel also helped and offered advice with techniques for my partner to be more involved in bedtime, which were absolutely amazing. My little one will now go to sleep within a couple of minutes for him, without any crying/needing to be rocked or fed to sleep. Highly recommend, and would definitely work with Rachel again in the future if needed.

We contacted Rachel to help with our 9 month old who was waking frequently at night. They’d never slept through and as Mum I was exhausted. Rachel was really sympathetic and gave us reassurance about what we needed to keep doing & what to tweak. A month later and we are in a much better place as a family - often our baby will sleep as soon as put down in the cot for naps & only wakes to feed overnight! It’s not easy but we’re happy and her follow up support has been excellent.

Rachel has been brilliant in adapting a sleep plan to meet Reuben’s needs. She listened to us and create a unique and specific plan to help improve our little boys sleep. Rachel has saved us from nights of constant waking and unsettled sleep to now Reuben sleeping through the night and settling himself off. Thank you

I honestly couldn't recommend Rachel enough, i was at a lost end with my daughters sleep, getting 3-4 hours a night of broken sleep and having to cosleep just to get her to settle, my daughter had a real attachment to me, Rachel had a really good understanding after chatting about us both and our situation and made a personalised plan for us that could help us build the trust allowing her to settle better, within the first week my daughter slept two full nights through! And she is now back in her own cot, the best thing I ever did, we are getting so much more sleep and I am So so grateful!

We are so happy we chose to work with Rachel. She seemed to suss out our daughter and our parenting style very quickly and worked with us in a way that made us feel confident and supported. We are not very comfortable with crying so wanted to take a very gentle approach to sleep training. Rachel helped us to do this with a tailor made plan including tweaks in our routine. From the first night out we were able to drop the bottle/cuddle to sleep and our daughter has been going into the cot awake. By gradually removing ourselves from our daughters room she has learnt to fall sleep more independently with very little upset on the way. She has also been sleeping through the night since night 4 which is just amazing! Thank you so much ☺️

I contacted Rachel when my twins were 13mths. 1 twin was sleeping through the night, the other was up every hour of the night whether in his cot or besides me in bed. Rachel worked with me, taking into consideration my family needs (myself, the twins, other family members) and devised a plan going forward for 7 days. I could see a change even in the 1st night and gradually improved and by the 7th night he had slept through the night. Rachel was there throughout the 7 days offering support and advice. Thank you so much!!

Thank you Rachel for all your support and guidance. Our little boy who was one years old at the time we begun sleep training would wake constantly throughout the night for breast milk and was co sleeping with both parents. After a week of successful training he now sleeps in his own cot and very rarely wakes in the night. As a working mum those sleepless nights were really tough but now everyone in the household are more settled and happy. I really felt optimistic about the training working and I still can't believe it did! I wish other parents in a similar situation the best of luck and would suggest giving the training a go :) Thank you, Rachel.

I cannot recommend Rachel and her services enough. From the moment we had our first contact I felt we were in safe hands. She was warm, empathetic, attentive and just completely got where I was coming from. When I first reached out, Its safe to say I was on my knees after going through (and still in the middle of) severe sleep deprivation for a whole year with my daughter. We only just were able to get her into own room on her first birthday because of building issues. So having slept next to us for that time, plus me still breastfeeding resulted in us not knowing how to sleep train properly and her waking up literally every hour to hour and a half every single night. We’d tried lots of things but ultimately had to breastfeed her back to sleep. Which was a vicious cycle. She also had various digestive issues we were dealing with. When we first started working together, I didn’t feel judged - but instead I felt seen, heard and understood. I also felt like there was hope! Rachel’s way of working was kind, honest, calm and efficient and she made the whole process feel so easy. We opted for the package with the week of support post consultation, and I’m so glad we went for that. It was really helpful and reassuring knowing I could message her all week with questions and get confirmation that we were either on the right track or completely off the mark when we were trouble shooting. After a few days of the plan, Isabella actually started sleeping in couple of hour blocks - which was unheard of and it’s getting better and better as time increases. We’ve now settled into a routine that works for us, and my partner and I now feel confident in knowing what to do and how to go about it when we feel ready to get her to the next stage. It’s completely empowered us and everyone is a lot happier. Thank you so much! Laura & Matt

Rachel was professional but so approachable and kind. She asked for lots of information about our situation specifically before the session, so it felt like a really personalised experience. It was reassuring to hear we had a good foundation and she gave us advice in how to improve further. Thanks Rachel!
