Why and how my 1:1 sleep support transforms lives...

Emily:

 'For anyone struggling with a little one that doesn’t sleep, I cannot recommend Ready Steady Sleep enough!  I honestly thought I’d left it too late to sleep train my little girl properly as she’s 3 and a bit, but after posting on here and following your advice, I contacted Lauren.  In just 9 days, I’ve had 7 full night’s sleep on the trot which has never, ever happened!  I am so thankful to Lauren for such a clear plan and her support has been wonderful. Thank you so much for finally getting me some much needed rest!

I honestly cannot recommend her highly enough. If you’re in the same boat I was, I promise you it can be done!  I’ve lived for 3 years on painfully long bedtimes and multiple night wakings. My little girl is still asleep now which is a whole new world for me! Xxx'

Rob:

 'I never realised how much we took for granted what a great sleeper our first born was, so when it came to our second child being a non-sleeper, we were not prepared for how much of a struggle it would be.

After 3 challenging years, my wife contacted Lauren at Ready, Steady, Sleep and we were so impressed with her from the beginning. She responded quickly and did a thorough consultation to help understand our child’s needs. 

The plan was clearly laid out and explained every step in detail. The suggestions were so helpful and the plan was clear. Lauren checked in at each stage of the process. We were comforted by Lauren’s suggestion that if things weren’t working, we could tweak it, but thankfully this wasn’t even necessary. 

We were willing to try anything as the lack of sleep and disturbed nights began to affect our whole family. From commuting to the plan and taking the plunge, it took less than 10 days to be able to say goodnight and walk out of the room and have her fall asleep on her own, within 5 minutes. We are, without a doubt, in the best position now; rested and a much happier household. 

Thank you Lauren for all your support.'

‘Lauren at Ready Steady Sleep is a hidden gem. We were put in touch with her services through a recommendation from our son's nursery and we have had amazing sleep results.’

‘Our son started to have sleep issues after episodes of coughs and colds and hence requiring us to be with him during the night. 

Therefore, we were finding that he was taking a longer time to settle down for night time sleep, multiple night time wake-ups and early morning wake-ups. As a family, we were sleep deprived for a few months. We knew we needed professional advice.. Lauren is very professional and really understood and empathised with us. 

‘She provided us with a very detailed step by step sleep plan, which we implemented straight away and since then, we have observed positive sleep progression every night.

 Lauren has provided us with immense support through out and she is so prompt at replying to any of our trouble-shooting sleep issues. She has shown us that she genuinely cares about improving our sleep as a family.

We used to find the bedtime routine difficult but thanks to Lauren's sleep plan and valuable support, we are enjoying a more calmer bedtime routine, our son is learning good sleep habits and is now able to independently self soothe to sleep within 10 to 15 minutes as opposed to taking 45 minutes to 1 hour to go to sleep with a parent laying next to him before. 

We highly recommend Lauren at Ready Steady Sleep to anyone who is facing sleep issues with their child.

Her approach is a gentle, nurturing and very effective in managing sleep issues.

Thank you so much Lauren, your support will always be cherished.

'We contacted Lauren to support with sleep advice for our 2yr old. We didn't want to use the 'cry-it-out' method and felt strongly aligned with Lauren's gentle and responsive approach.

E was consistently waking up multiple times a night which had resulted in middle of the night bed swapping and co-sleeping just so we could get some rest. We were all feeling exhausted from the disrupted sleep and it was taking its toll with us both working full-time.

Lauren designed us a detailed plan based on our current situation. 

From day 1 of the plan our daughter was consistently in her own bed every night and just a couple of weeks in she is sleeping through the night more often than not. This has been achieved gradually and with no 'cry-it-out' approach.

The support from Lauren has been excellent and we are feeling properly rested for the first time in a long time. 

We wouldn't hesitate in recommending Lauren needs of children of all ages.'

 'Henry was waking at least 6 times a night. 

Lauren saved the day. 

 She gave us a very gentle holistic plan that meant he still felt listened to and comforted.  

We noticed an improvement within 2 days and within a week he had already slept through the night for 11 hours.

  Having Lauren's ongoing support meant we were able to tweak things to optimise the plan and to ask her what to do if anything didn’t work as intended.  

3 weeks later and it’s unusual for us to need to go in to him at all.'

 

‘It got to April when I realised I hadn’t had a decent sleep since Christmas! And there was no sign of things improving! 

I’m so pleased I reached out to Lauren via Facebook and only wish we had done it sooner. 

Not only did Lauren implement a plan that tweaked what we were already doing (so it seemed really achievable), but she advised and supported moving bubba into his own room (something I hadn’t even considered doing for a while longer). 

The support from Lauren has been fantastic and as someone who really didn’t function well with so little sleep. I now feel like an entirely different person. 

Would highly recommend!’

‘Lauren saved me and my family! 

My son is 6 years old and autistic. 

I attended one of Lauren’s FREE Autism and Anxiety sleep masterclasses online and felt our values and ethos around supporting neurodiverse children and their sleep really aligned. 

I reached out to Lauren and I never looked back. 

Bedtime used to be a nightmare and something I would dread. With Lauren’s support, this completely changed and with a bespoke and expert approach, withing a week my son started to enjoy bed time. 

His night time sleep has dramatically improved too; he now sleeps independently without reliant upon my presence. 

The impact of Lauren’s help went beyond just help; it saved our family and restored our wellbeing. 

You can’t put a price on that!'

'Lauren saved me and my family!

Tired and confused, I finally sought help from Lauren and what a game changer it was! 

My 18 month old had given us one night of full sleep in his lifetime. We were desperate to have more sleep and get our bed back! 

Lauren stepped in and gave us the advice we needed. 

After 3 nights of teaching my son to self settle where I’d leave the room for a certain amount of minutes at a time my son was learning to self settle and sleep for longer periods of time without waking. Getting a good nights sleep makes the world of difference for everyone! 

We are now having 6/7 hours of  wake free periods and my son is finally sleeping and settling in his own bed. Having our bed back is the best thing ever! 

Thank you Lauren for giving us the support and guidance that was well and truly needed. 

You’ve saved us!'

Sheryl:

I can highly recommend the professional help of Lauren from Ready, Steady, Sleep.

Being first time parents in our mid 30s, we weren't used to sleepless nights.
It got to the point where we were up every night with our little one. She would wake up numerous times in the early hours.

So, we reached out to Lauren.

She quickly made a plan for us and tweaked our bedtime routine, and straight away we noticed a change. Now, our 11 month old sleeps 13-14 hours a night! We often wake in the morning before her!

My husband and I now get time to ourselves in the evenings and a full nights sleep.

Just what I needed before returning to work after my maternity leave.

Thank you so much Lauren.

We will be recommending your services to fellow tired parents.'

Scott:

I can't recommend Lauren at Ready, Steady, Sleep highly enough!

Our daughter was a pretty good sleeper until around the six month mark. After that, she became difficult to settle, waking up as soon as we'd put her down in her cot or soon after. 

Then our little human alarm would sound several times in the early hours. We would go in to soothe her and once we'd settle back to sleep ourselves it was quickly time again for more crying. 

Needless to say, as first-time parents, we struggled. The lack-of-sleep took it's toll on my wife and I both physically and mentally so we can only imagine how our daughter felt herself.

That's when Lauren stepped-in!

She noted our usual bedtime routine as well as what our daughter's interests and comforts and made a bespoke plan for us to try within a day.

 We started the very next night with the changes she suggested and, despite a short protest from her for the first 15 minutes after putting her down, our daughter slept all-the-way through the night for the first time in months! We couldn't believe it... And it has remained that way ever since we started around a month ago!

Not only are we getting our evenings back as a couple but also solid, uninterrupted sleep until a decent hour. 

Some days we've even had to wake her up! Most importantly, our daughter is getting much-needed rest and seems a lot brighter in herself.

The few changes to our routine that Lauren suggested for us made such a huge difference and, as I said earlier, I can't recommend her enough. So, if you're reading this through tired eyes, absolutely get in touch.'

'Lauren was so helpful and I would recommend Lauren for any sleep training that you need. 

She was very quick to get a plan in place for my little boy and was so adaptable. She was easily contactable for support the whole time and would always check in with me every morning. 

Thank you for all the support Lauren.'

'My husband and I were recommended Lauren though a mummy's Facebook group and we are so lucky we found her.

 At the time we were desperate to sort our son's sleep. 

He was 17 months old, unable to nap independently and putting him down at night time was becoming a battle that we very rarely won. Frequent night wakings, early rises and everything that comes with broken and difficult sleep! We were lost in books, articles, apps and "advice". And then we chatted to Lauren for just 15 minutes and we knew it could get better.

Lauren came at just the right time. She really listened to our story and helped us create a tailor made plan for our son and us both. She encouraged us to voice any concerns and talk things through until we had a method that we felt comfortable with and would ultimately help our son to have happy bedtimes and peaceful sleep. 

Now he naps beautifully with minimal blips and he can fall asleep independently, sleeping through until morning. What's more is that Lauren's aftercare package comes with a helpful booklet so if we have any wobbles in the future we will be able to pick it all back up again. We are all now sleeping soundly in our house and so much happier for it thanks to Lauren. 

If you are like us and a little sceptical of the process then reach out and have a chat with Lauren. I'm so glad we did and we would do it again in a heartbeat.'

 Our toddler hasn’t slept through the night since she was 4 months old (currently 19 months). 

Within the 1st week, we managed to have full night sleeps and late wake ups. I felt like a new person. 

Can’t believe I waited this long to get in touch with Lauren. 

Strongly recommend!
