A beautiful testimonial from a beautiful family. This makes my job so worthwhile and why I love what I do! It somehow all started incrementally. We tried to do it all the right way but sometimes wed pick up our five month old because she seemed to want to burp then put her back down. Ten minute settles stretched into twenty minute settles. Flash forward a month and we were picking up little Ms Six Month Old every time we settled her, nursing her to settle and it was taking more than 30 minutes and sometimes 50 minutes or even an hour for a settle. Sometimes we gave up (and tried not to curl up in the foetal position in the hall outside her room.) She seemed to be feeding all the time even though we tried to space her out and some nights, she would wake as many as 13 times in a night. We didnt feed her every time she woke but we did seem to have to pick her up and nurse her a lot. When youre doing a 50 minute settle and she only sleeps for 25 minutes, it starts to feel pretty grim. When youve woken up 13 times in a night, you wake up the 13th time feeling pretty stabby. And the effect on each of us was terrible. We were so tired and snippy with each other (and we usually dont fight). We were physically run down. We were miserable and when youre that tired, its hard to find the joy in the little smiles and antics of the baby. You can barely feel charitable to anyone. Plus the baby is tired and not at her best during the day. You start to feel negative about everything and tortured by lack of sleep. It was time to call in Jo. Jo stayed for three nights during which she settled our baby each night and we slept. Beautiful sleep! By the last night, our babe only woke once in the night which was a massive improvement. When Jo left, we were pretty worried and the next night our baby tried it on with us but we stuck to the routine and by the end of the week after Jo left, our baby slept for six and a half hours in a row which was literally the best sleep wed had in six months. We are so deeply grateful to Jo for helping us. It was a pleasure to have her here and she is so gentle and calm with our baby. By the end, our baby was giggling at her and reaching out for a cuddle with Jo. Jo gave us back our sanity when it was flagging. I would recommend her to anyone struggling. It is worth every cent and then some. Jo brought back the happiness to our house and to our baby.
