Calm & Bright Sleep Support Avis 

Absolutely transformative! Calm and Bright's plans and 1:1 support has been invaluable and turned around our families sleep. We were lucky to be paired with the amazing Collette for 1:1 WhatsApp support and she was an incredible support. She guided us through everything, was very patient and understanding and gave us useful advice we could actually implement. The plan is packed full of practical and responsive tips that we could adapt as required and we'll be sure to dip in and out of as needed. I can't thank you enough for turning our lives around!

I listened to the audio book and bought the sleep plan. It was really accessible and worked brilliantly. We'd gone from being up 8+ times a night, with at least one being over an hour, to bedtime at 7pm (ish) and sleeping u til I woke her at 7.30am and consistent am and pm naps. I've just had a week of nightly get ups and feeds, as my baby has been ill with s&d - it reminded me what it was like before and how grateful I am for the positive change the plan helped me to make. I have recommended you to friends. Thank you 🙏💕

From day 1 we knew we had made the right decision coming to Calm and Bright and opting for the 1:1 WhatsApp support. We were at breaking point and really struggling with our son's sleep and Collette was amazing. She was understanding, empathetic, supportive and her guidance and advice gave us the confidence to implement the plan. As a result our son's sleep was transformed and our lives as a family too.

Cant thank Lucy enough! She was so patient and happy to answer any questions I had. Really helped us get back on track with our daughters sleep. Thank you!

I was so dubious about anything working for us. I was at breaking point and really didn’t expect anything to help but low and behold these ladies are life savers (maybe not in a literally sense but I cannot explain the shift in mine and my little lady’s mood). We are both so much happier and her personality is shining through.
I paid for the plan with extra support and hand holding, it was Sal who was my one to one support and she is just incredible. So lovely & warm and at no point was there any judgment. I cannot thank her enough.
I had gone from 5/6 wake ups a night, 25 min naps in the day maximum. In the three weeks I have been following the plan there have only been 5 nights where she hasn’t slept through for at least 11 hours and she is napping like a pro now. I have found it is more training for me rather than my little girl (7 months) as she took to it so quickly, I just needed the confidence and guidance to implement a new routine for us both.
Thank you so much to everyone at Calm & Bright sleep support.
I cannot recommend you enough.

Rather expensive sleep course that has a lot of promise but ultimately falls down on clarity. It doesn’t answer all your questions (e.g. what happens if they cry during a nap, when do I give up and try again? What if they wake up after ten minutes?) unless you pay another £89 for an hour’s one to one. I don’t want a one to one, I want a comprehensive sleep guide (which is what I thought I was paying £89 for).

It’s basically a modified Ferber method, but responsive to the intensity of the baby’s cry rather than set intervals. However figuring out the intensity and whether to comfort the baby is extremely difficult to determine and lengths of time can pass with the baby crying and no reassurance because it’s not a “sufficient” intensity of crying.

After a few days of frustration with the lack of clarity and missing instruction in the sleep guide, and difficulty of determining how intensely our son was crying, we transitioned to Dr Ferber which was a much gentler and more straight forward method, with comprehensive instructions in his book.

There is no way of contacting them at all on their website to clarify their guide without paying the additional £89.

A resource is provided which isn’t discussed in the sleep guide (a “stir to sleep” pdf). As I cannot contact them at all, I am not given the opportunity to ask what this pdf is for.

I have given an additional star as I have used the wake window table which was also provided.

They come across well, and the instructions are short and pithy which is helpful when sleep deprived. However this seems to be at the expense of providing some important information, which is all the more desperate when in the trenches of sleep training. More clarity would very quickly improve the experience.

We went from waking every hour and rocking/feeding for hours on end, to being able to pop her in her bed and her self setting in 5 minutes with one feed wake (our choice) a night! I feel like a new woman.

Absolute miracle workers, special shout out to Collette who has been incredible throughout our sleep training journey. I was told to check out the Calm and Bright Instagram page by a fellow new mum friend after explaining that I was feeling exhausted and (for the first time in 6months) irritable and I was worried that would be felt by my little girl.
I was really anxious at the idea of sleep training at first as my baby is very happy and the idea of trying to work through something that could make her cry really worried me.
I bought the plan and 1:1 support a week before intended to start the programme to give myself time to read the course content. A week on I felt fully prepared for a weekend at home ensuring all naps could be cot based and no longer anxious about the training, I felt positive that I would be helping my little one to gain her independence. I found the course content very clear and easy to consume which was amazing as I was struggling to retain information at the time and found concentrating difficult!

I had initially booked a phone call with Collette for midway through the first day of training but that morning after a lovely intro message from Collette I decided to work with her via WhatsApp and I am so pleased I did. Her patience, support, guidance and advice has been first class. I wish everyone I knew with a baby and sleep struggles could spend time with her. She took time to understand my little girl’s character and her medical background. I was a little concerned that dropping night feeds may be a streatch for her as she’s always been on the smaller side so Collette helped me understand how to adapt the programme to ensure I wasn’t pushing her too much. Her sleep improved dramatically in the first 24hr period and her naps lengthened from 20 a 30mins max to over an hour that first day. Within 4/5 days she was sleeping through the night and I’ve no doubt that if I’d have been a little braver at the beginning we’d have gotten there sooner. My husband and I truely have our evenings back now and time to ourselves for the first time in 6months.

Thank you so much to Collette and team, I will be using the course and troubleshooting guidance as we hit my little girl’s milestones 🥰

Honestly. They are angels. They go above and beyond to help. And as a mum who’s sleep deprived it’s hard to know whether you’re doing things right but they gave me the confidence to know what to do and to know that what I was doing was right. Use them. It’ll change your experience!

These ladies are amazing- great advice, relatable and reassuring. Following their plan by 5 month old’s sleep dramatically improved once she started to self settle, as did my mood! She is now almost 7 months and sleeping most days until 5.30 which for now feels doable and I know where C&B are if I need them again. Ultimately it gave me the confidence to let her down her own thing in a comforting way and she is now a happy baby who (generally!) sleeps very well. Thank you!!

Great sleep programme, easy to follow. One to one support was also fabulous. My six year old was not self settling to go to sleep and also night waking. Following the sleep support programme helped restore sleep to our household and bring joy to our family. Thank you so much ❤️

Absolutely amazing! We had 1:1 WhatsApp support from Lucy and with a few little changes our 2 year old has gone from waking 3 times a night and early waking to sleeping 7pm-7am!

This review is long overdue. Our darling son has slept through the night since 9 months and is now 16 months! The friendly and relatable advice gave me the confidence to deal with anything sleep related. He is a happy cheeky boy and mumma has the energy to play (or work) all day! It took us only 3 days and it’s been a dream since, apart from the odd illness where I enjoy the cuddles instead knowing it’s only temporary. Thank you 🙌

This is a scam. Stay as far away from these people. You don't get any information about what methods they actually use until you pay. I would have been better off googling honestly. Save your money.

Calm & Bright gave me the confidence to take my baby anywhere for naps. He’s now two and had a lovely nap by the sea whilst I managed a bit of last minute sunbathing. Thank you so much 😊

Where do I start? These ladies are amazing! As a new mum, I had no idea about babies and sleep - the ideal ‘they’ll sleep when they’re tired’ really didn’t work, and I ended up with a very fussy, unhappy baby. I was recommended C&B by a friend and I started out reading through the free advice, then bought the book (which resonated with me so much). I then bought the 0-18 month plan when there was an offer on (these ladies are amazing when it comes to accessible, affordable information!). I now have a 6 month old who self settles, pretty much sleeps through every night (there’s always going to be an occasional blib!), and who is a different baby now she gets enough sleep.
What’s more is that these ladies always offer free advice - it’s not a pressurising company where everything is ‘buy a plan’, which it really could be! Even now, a quick DM and I had a lovely, supportive response within an hour!
The biggest thing for me is I love how everything from C&B is said and made with love - no judgement, no blame, and guilt. Their message is simple: sleep can happen, it can look different for every baby and if it works for you, do it!

I needed to hit nearly rock bottom and dread night times.. to get the strength for me and my partner to change the situation and our 14 month old has surprised us ...she woke like 5/6 times during last night.. which was night 4 of the solid sleep plan.. I didn't even get to the point where I had to go into the room.. she was asleep before I got to the door every time .. u ladies have really empowered me.. and I always recommend your plan.. even when I hadn't done it myself.. I've had it since the start of the year , tried it and then she got it ill on and off, colds ect and the crying was a massive barrier for me.. but we are overcoming it rather speedily this week🙏🙏🙏🙏

We started your sleep training plan with the lovely Lucy before summer and it took a while for one twin to get the hang of it. He wants a lot more loving and attention than the other twin… your plan and philosophy around sleep has actually brought us to a totally unexpected place.
Before we started we were so focussed on YOU MUST SLEEP WHEN I TELL YOU TO. Both boys were great sleepers until they moved to beds and we so wanted to get back to that.
I’m reality, our sleep routine now is so different to what we imagined… and we’re happy and content with our new rituals/routines/family time etc.
We have family time every night 5-6, we have the most beautiful bedtime rituals (bath, teddies, pjs, pillow spray) and have come to a common understanding of what we say has to happen (eg. Lights off) and what they want as part of their sleep routine (eg. Door open).
It’s been a hard slog but the anxiety of what I thought was good / appropriate sleep has lifted and we are doing what’s loving and right for us and our boys.
They both wake us up every morning at 6:30 when the gro clock turns yellow and the beaming smile on their face is magical 🤍

Plan changed everything for us, Eve, Gem, the whole team especially Lucy who did our 121 support are so lovely, helpful and friendly. Would highly recommend!!

I turned to calm & bright with my after I had totally lost the plot with my second child. The first born was a beautiful sleeper and because my second didn't sleep I thought I'd failed, done something wrong. The C&B Instagram page gave so much useful advice that worked I decided to trust a plan. I have never looked back. The plan not only worked, I still refer to it many years on to check in when I need to like my own little comfort blanket. I liked how I was never made to ignore my child. I liked how it was expected to give comfort to my child. I liked how it gave me flexibility and understanding in a busy family household. So this is just to day 'Thanks' for the support. Sleep wins.
