Annabel has changed our lives! We were having so many problems getting our son to sleep, getting him to stay asleep & it was causing so much stress for all involved! Annabel was patient with us, from our boy getting sick during the first week, and for completely understanding when we went off track and helping keep us on track. We have gone from 3+ hours of trying to get him down for a nap, to less than 15 minutes. Annabel was always professional, completely understanding & always compassionate with every problem we had. I would recommend her to any friend having problems with their babies’ sleep - once again (and not an understatement, Annabel has changed our lives! Thank you so much

My 12-week-old could self-settle well but was a cat napping queen! I just could not resettle her, and this was worrying me as her sleep was changing with the 4-month regression. With Annabel’s help Elsie was doing 2-2.5 hours at lunch with minimal help after a week! Within a few weeks we’d also stopped feeding between 10pm-7am and she was sleeping through most nights! I loved filling out Annabel’s sleep log and felt so supported by her constant comments and answers to make sure we were doing everything we could to help our bubba get the sleep she needed! Googling and Instagram just don’t cut it when all babies are so different. Annabel was amazing and has given us a happier baby and definitely happier parents!!

Our experience with Annabel was great; she was so kind and supportive and could tailor the approach to our situation. Our bub was 9months old and we were rocking her to sleep for hours and then would need to continue to hold her all night as she refused to be put down in her cot. We were also holding her for all day naps. We were all exhausted! Annabel visited for two hours during the day to assist with the lunch nap; we could then use this approach for all sleeps moving forward. After discussing the options and finding the best fit, we proceeded with sleep coaching. Our bub responded so well and so quickly; it was incredible! Our baby was self-settling almost immediately, I was stunned and so relieved! The change was incredible and has continued, our bub has all naps in her cot and consistently sleeps through the night (6:30pm to 6am) with just one quick wake up for a feed. After the home consultation we had follow up phone calls; Annabel was responsive and able to answer all my questions and provide guidance in a kind and supportive manner. I highly recommend Annabel she is literally a miracle worker!

Annabel was an amazing sleep consultant to work with. She held space for me as I voiced my fears, frustrations and goals and walked alongside me to find the techniques that worked for both me and my bub. Annabel had research and journal articles to evidence what she was talking about, and I found so much reassurance in the education she provided. I would definitely recommend Annabel as a sleep consultant.

I reached out to Annabel when our Bub was young, and she helped to get us into a healthy sleep schedule which resulted in better naps. As Bub got older Annabel again helped with guidance for transition from carrier sleeps and co-sleeping to Bub starting to put herself to sleep in her cot. Annabel was patient and supportive when I felt I needed to take more time or do things a bit differently. I would definitely recommend her!

Annabel is lovely and down to earth, and helped empower us to teach our baby great sleep habits for life. After the initial free consult to work out the best plan for us, she worked with our preferences and values to create a customised routine perfect for us.... and it paid off in only a few nights! Definitely recommend this to all the tired dads and mummas!

Annabel was the most personable sleep therapist that I’ve worked with. She was endlessly patient and offered advice that transformed our previous sleeping arrangements! I would recommend her to anyone I knew and would definitely use her again for any sleeping troubles!

My firstborn was a unicorn baby, slept anywhere, slept all night, never really worried about specific nap times. When my second boy was born, we thought we had hit the jackpot again, from five weeks to five months, he slept through! At five months everything changed; he started waking multiple times in the night. At first, I didn't mind and thought the phase would pass, but I just couldn't get myself back to sleep some nights. The night waking didn't pass, it went on for months! I had no experience and no clue what to do. Starting full-time work, I wasn't coping, waking for multiple night feeds. I knew it wasn't good for my baby or me to be surviving on limited sleep.

 

Googling how to get my baby to sleep through the night lead me down a rabbit warren of conflicting advice and methods. I was left dazed and confused. I needed a personalised strategy, accountability and fast.  Out of desperation, I googled sleep consultants. I feel very grateful to have found Annabel from Baby Sleep Consultant. 

 

Annabel was a fantastic listener with a caring nature. Not once did I feel judged. She listened to the issues we were having and created a tailored plan. I was amazed at the detailed sleep plan and routine and the hour phone call explaining everything. The follow-up calls were great to keep me accountable and ask any clarifying questions.

 

The outcome after two weeks was that we have gone from waking multiple times in the night to not waking or waking only once. He is going to bed a lot earlier, which has helped a lot with my older son (we were having trouble with them waking each other up as their rooms were very close). Although I wasn't keen on a stricter routine, it did help a lot with structure and planning in the evenings, and overall, it has been a positive shift and easier to manage time.

 

I must say it was an excellent investment, everyone in the house is happier and sleeping better, and it has been a positive change for the whole family. Above all, I know more sleep will be benefiting my son's health and development too.

Annabel helped save our sleep! Her patient and thoughtful advice helped our son learn to self-settle and avoid the worst of the 4-month regression. She has taught us so much about sleep patterns and the importance of routines for everyone. We have one happy bub who wakes once a night and no longer fights day naps in his cot. Annabel was always available for a chat and regular check ins to see how our son was going. We will always be grateful for Annabel's kind natured and generous support, her teachings will serve us well in to the future. I couldn't recommend Annabel's services more highly!

We recently sought help from Annabel with our 17 month old daughter who has always been a difficult sleeper. My partner and I had all but given up on having a decent night’s sleep and had resorted to cosleeping as she was waking 3-4 times a night, refusing to resettle without being breastfed. Annabel looked at our routines, asked our goals and offered strategies that suited our situation, parenting style and daughter’s temperament. We now have a toddler who is night weaned and has decreased her wakings to only once most nights. We preferred a slow and gentle process which Annabel was completely supportive of and we are really happy with the progress our daughter has made.

Thank you for all of your advice, guidance and support, Annabel. It’s a great feeling to finally have a restful night after 17 months of constant wake ups!

Prior to being in contact with Annabel, my baby was crying, restless, would not settle.  As a first-time mum, I had this idea that babies just sleep when they are supposed to. Boy was I wrong! I had no idea about awake times or tired signs!  
Annabel was so lovely to deal with. She really took the time to get to know about me, my baby and our family routines. I’ve found myself so much more relaxed and confident now. The information delivered by Annabel has been instrumental in educating me in understanding my baby’s sleep in order to give me the confidence to put my baby down to sleep and use settling techniques that are in tune to my baby’s needs.  
I can’t thank you enough for giving me the knowledge, courage and confidence in myself and my little one to get our routine and sleep on track!
