Calm & Bright Sleep Support Avis 

4 days into sleep training with the help of the lovely Aimee and 6mo boy is sleeping through from day 1 (previously he would be up around 6 times a night with 3 night feeds). Naps are still facing some resistance, but it’s early days and with Aimee’s fantastic reassurance we are confident we will get there. We found the combination of the 0-18month plan, plus some 1:1 WhatsApp support really gave us the confidence to get started! Feeling much more rested and all much happier 🙏🏻

These ladies are angels. Their course is fantastic. After struggling so badly with hourly wakes with my cosleeping, breastfeeding baby, I decided to seek support and was recommended Calm & Bright by my best friend. I have recommended them countless times to multiple friends, family and groups online as they completely changed my life. I was depressed, some days unable to leave the house, worried to drive with my baby and barely even getting dressed. I followed their plan and it changed everything. My little boy suffered badly with colic so it did take a little longer than some of the other feedback I’ve seen from other people that used their plans but you can get extra one on one support from them if that is the case - financially wasn’t an option for us, but we stuck with it and wow - my whole life improved. My 16 month old has been sleeping through the night since 12 months and yesterday he had a 2.5h nap in his cot and 12h sleep overnight in a travel cot! With no tears! The dedication they have to their followers is incredible. The amount of free content the provide is amazing, it just shows you what wonderful women they are.
Thank you so much for allowing me to enjoy my baby again! And he would thank you too as he’s very grumpy without his nice nap 😂😊

I bought the plan after we hit the 4 month regression and were struggling for 6+weeks. At 6 months with the help of Collette via what’s app we were able to implement the plan. I was sceptical and unsure if I would be able to stick with it however as the plan is responsive I never felt I was leaving my son and was able to reassure him. He took to it well and after some travel we were able to wean the last night feed and and he has been sleeping 7-6 most nights since (now 9 months) we also have the early wakes guide after a period of 5am starts.
The support was great and really helpful. I feel much more able to parent and knowing that my son is getting two good naps and a lovely night sleep.

Wow what can I say… this has been the best money I have ever spent. My little one had never slept through so at 9 months we bought the plan plus. The extra help was well worth it for peace of mind and to ask all the questions we had. My little man is now sleeping through the night and having two, two hour naps a day which is just magic. Thank you so much Sal for all your help and guidance and the plan well that’s just magic.

After using C&B with our infant daughter back in 2020, their Early Wakes Plan was our go-to to help with 5am wakes from our solid sleeper.
Moving her bedtime earlier definitely helped and having it as a reference guide has been super helpful.

I originally invested in the solid sleep plan when H was just a few months old, there was a generous discount and I thought it was well worth it to future proof ourselves in case sleep became difficult. We were fortunate with overnight sleep, with H self settling from 5 months and having a solid nights sleep. Early wakes and naps were what hit us - hard, knocking us back to that feeling of newborn sleep misery. Consistent, daily early wakes, drove me to distraction. I felt terrible for moaning about it, as we had a good night sleeper. But combined with rubbish naps, i felt like it would never change. Knowing that one was likely to be effecting the other was frustrating as i couldnt break the cycle. I bought the early wakes plan, discounted again, and we started the steps. We used them time and time again, in different ways, in between bouts of teething and illness, but never experienced the dramatic, sudden life changing improvement in sleep we had read about. We went on holiday in August, and through what I had learnt, decided to let go of sleep stress, accept and embrace what was happening. If she was happy, (which she was), then I was too. Hot days led to brilliant naps. So as the mornings darkened, we decided to give the early wake steps another go and woke with a fright at 0720. She had done it - cracked the early wake!

We never felt the instant magic, our sleep journey so far has been a slow steady burn, but we did feel completely supported and empowered to make changes when it was right for H. I feel educated about sleep and it has dranatically helped me towards letting go of the frustration and sadness I had in the 4th trimester. It took us months, but we're finally there! Better yet, we know what to do if things change or need to change. Thankyou C&B, I happily recommend you to anyone who seems to be in need.

When the lovely Gem and Eve from Calm and Bright said things could turn around by the weekend, I didn’t quite believe them. Yet here we are on day 5 of the plan, and life has transformed. From 6 + wakes a night to breastfeed and sooth my little 5 month old, I was convinced she was too young and needed me too much to change, yet here we are now getting lovely long 12 hour sleeps, doing only 1 feed a night, and with day time naps also an absolute breeze! My daughter self settles, can link her cycles and wakes up happy. I’m still in shock, I think!

A special thanks to Sally who has just been incredible. I can’t thank her enough really. She has been so lovely, so supportive, so kind. Living in Spain meant we adapted the usual routine timings a little bit, and she was so accommodating. I couldn’t have done it without her ❤️ Here’s to a wonderful week ahead, which I will actually enjoy wide-eyed and bushy-tailed for a change! I’m glad I went ahead with this training as early as we did rather than wait and ensure more weeks of broken sleep. Thanks C&B x

You changed our sleep lives!
I felt so uncertain about sleep teaching but I was just at breaking point when the 4 month sleep regression felt like it never ended. 9 weeks later, I started the gentle steps and have had the most reassuring, kindest 1:1 support from Aimee. She’s there as a listening ear, has mountains of advice and been my god send!

I am constantly on your Instagram, going back through reels to check I’m on the right track. Thank you ♥️

I wanted to wait a while before writing this review so we had time to reflect on our experience and see how our daughter would get on with her sleep long term. I promised myself I'd write a review because I poured over nearly every review on this page before we signed up, and it gave me the courage to go for it.

We contacted Calm & Bright on a mum-friend's recommendation because our daughter had been sleeping terribly since she hit the 4 month regression at 3.5 months. She would wake nearly every half an hour throughout the night and would sometimes only settle if I fed her. I was routinely going to bed myself at 9pm at night to lie next to her as it was the only way we could get her to sleep sometimes. We were both completely sleep deprived and our patience was running out. My partner's mental health was declining because he was so exhausted.

When our daughter was six months old, we contacted Calm & Bright and paid for the Hand in Hand plan, because, to us, the money was worth it. We were assigned the wonderful Lucy within a couple of days and got started on a Monday so we would have her full support from the off (instead of starting on a Friday and not getting Lucy's support while they were closed over the weekend). We were so nervous because we were convinced it wouldn't work. But our daughter took to it from the very first nap! We could not believe it. On her first day she had two solid naps of 2 and 3 hours, and slept through the night 7pm-7am with only one wake at 3am for food. We were dumbfounded. Lucy guided us through the week responding so quickly each time we messaged, advising us on wake windows, nap lengths, how to troubleshoot when things weren't quite working. Lucy was amazing and she's such such an asset to C&B.

At about 7 months, having had solid sleep for a whole month, we were convinced that our daughter was waking in the night from habit instead of hunger, and she was waking up earlier in the morning, so we tried the 'stir to sleep' method to see if we could remove the feed and get her sleeping through solidly. It worked.

Our daughter is now 10 months old and we've had solid sleep, both day and night, every since we started with C&B To say its changed our lives is an understatement, and something we still don't take for granted. She is a much happier baby and we are much happier, more rested and patient parents.

We've recommended C&B to many of our parenting friends now, who have also shared in sleep success(!!) and will continue to do so.

Thank you SO much Eve, Gem and Lucy - you are all wonderful people and we are so grateful for your help.

We had Collette as our sleep coach, and she has been amazing in every aspect! Not only has her expert advice got our little girl sleeping 7-6, but she’s been so incredible with reassurance and Health guidance. Colette has just gone above and beyond for us, making sure she was available as soon as we messaged for the first few nights knowing how nervous we were! I couldn’t recommend “calm and bright” enough! Thank you so so much 🫶🏽

I can’t rate Calm and Bright highly enough. We’d had 15 months of very little sleep, trying to be good parents, juggling full-time jobs, but kept finding that we just couldn’t do it. We were not able to be the calm, present parents we wanted to be and we not able to give what we needed to other aspects of our lives. Something had to change.

A friend recommended Calm and Bright to us. I was nervous at first as I had read things about how leaving babies to cry can negatively impact them, but I weighed this up with the fact that we were negatively impacting them by being so sleep deprived that we couldn’t be the parents we wanted to be. So we decided to go for it. Calm and Bright do a very gentle process too which I found reassuring and something I felt comfortable doing.

We were initially concerned as our little one had been suffering bad colic at night and other gastro issues. Because of this we had a conversation with Gem via WhatsApp about what level of support we would need and when would be a good time to start. Once we were ready, we were matched to a sleep supporter, Aimee after purchasing the Sleep Plus Plan. We had a plan/method sent to us then had Aimee on hand for support when inevitable questions arose. Aimee was so unbelievably helpful and kind, providing really useful and practical advice. We trusted in the process and trusted her and within 3 days we’d gone from 2 hourly wake ups to sleeping 11-12 hours. We all felt AMAZING!! There were still a few other queries and tweaks we needed over the next couple of weeks but we can now put our little one down in his cot, he falls asleep by himself within about 5-10 mins with no crying. And then he generally sleeps for 11.5 hours. Of course there have been the odd wake up when he’s been poorly, teething, too hot etc, but we’ve continued to use the method and it’s worked.

On top of all that we’ve also managed to make some tweaks to our older child’s sleep. She had always been a really good sleeper but over the last few months some things had changed and her sleep wasn’t going so well. Again, some top advice from Aimee and we had great improvements in her sleep - just in time for her starting school!

If you’re in any doubt about this process but need to get your sanity/energy/just yourself back, please give this a go! There were a couple of nights when the process felt a bit of a challenge, to be expected when trying anything new, but it was short lived and now we’re all getting full nights of sleep consistently! 😊

What can I say!? It works! The team at Calm & Bright Sleep Support have been so supportive during my journey to sleep. My little one was 7 months when I started the programme and by night 3, she was sleeping through the night! Now, 2 months on, she self-settles before naps with the help of her thumb and can settle herself during the night if she wakes. The most important thing… she is so happy when she wakes! Thank you!!

Our 23 month old had never ever slept through the night, would wake up to 5 times a night, would only be breastfeed to sleep including the wakes in the night and often ended up in our bed. He would go crazy if we ever tried to put him in his cot and would often wake straight away as soon as we would transfer him in the cot when he was asleep. We had tried other sleep consultants who either were really unsupportive and left us traumatised or would tell us he must have an underlying issue such as tongue tie which meant he would never sleep through. My Husband and I were absolutely exhausted after nearly 2 years of no sleep and didn’t know where to turn so we reached out to Calm and Bright….
I can’t believe I’m saying it but thanks to Gem our little boy started sleeping through the night after just over a week. He started doing longer chunks of sleeping after just a few days and now self settles in his cot. We could cry with happiness as we never ever thought we would get to this point. I wish we had got help from them sooner as they really have changed night times for us. We can’t thank them enough!!! We honestly believed we just had a child who doesn’t sleep, it would never happen for us, believed he must have some sort of medical issue and just thought we had to live like this. They are miracle workers and the most supportive people. We highly highly highly recommend!

Teddy was never the best sleeper, in 2 years he had slept 11-12 hours less than ten times, so we just became used to being up in the night or awake at 5am for the day.

When it came to moving him from a cot to a bed, things got a lot worse - refusing to go to bed, screaming, exhausting himself til 9-10pm, up in the night and awake for the day from 4.30am. This had a knock on effect to his naps in the day, his concentration/tantrums and even not eating!

After 6 weeks, we decided we couldn't take anymore. We were exhausted, stressed and dreaded bedtime. After purchasing the Hand in Hand 1:1 plan, we had a call with Eve, she listened to our story, gave us loads of motivation to start and was the best support we could have ever wished for.

The plan is very thorough and it's so important to stick to it 100%, we had progress in the first 5 nights and then Teddy went backwards, we realised this was because we had slipped from the plan, so he thought he was back in control to negotiate with us. Eve was there to get us back on track and within 2 days he did it! Bedtime at 7pm, settling himself to sleep and sleeping til 6am. We couldn't believe it! He was going to bed happy and waking happy, a complete 360.

He is a completely different child from unbroken sleep, less tantrums, his speech has come on so much, concentrates on things for longer and is less 'hyper' from being overtired. He naps really well in the day and his appetite is back.

I still can't believe how successful the plan is, I thought Teddy would be the one child that is didn't work with, I thought he had too many sleep problems that it would be too overwhelming to sort them all out at once - I was proved wrong!

Thank you so much Eve - you have gone over and above for us, the best customer service, constant support and motivation. By far the best money we have ever spent. We just wish we did it sooner!

I read Gem and Eve’s book beg my baby arrived and invested in their solid sleep plan so that I could support my baby to get good sleep from as early as possible.

My baby is only 3 months old so sleep at night is still broken by he settles so easily for daytime naps and bedtime meaning my husband and I now have evenings back which is a refreshing break from a full on day with a new baby.

I know that as my baby gets to six months I’ll be able to implement the plans more and ensure we all get a full nights sleep from six months on.

Uses the cry it out method though before you buy it this isn’t made clear

The programme was so easy to use and we went from sleep deprived, rocking baby to sleep and 4ish broken hours of sleep a night to sleeping through!

I worked with Lucy. Before we started, I put off and off accessing this support because I had convinced myself that we would be the situation that couldn’t be improved and, in all honesty I felt a little embarrassed around how far our situation had slipped into the unmanageable. Getting my just over 2 year old to sleep over the last year had turned into a 3 hour affair, not to mention the 6 wakes a night. We also had a new baby and my husband and I were at our limit, passed it I see now.
Lucy spent so much time on me, was patient with me, was respectful of doing it the way I needed to do it.
And after a week of me not quite doing it properly but seeing glimpses of what my child was actually capable of I drew a line. Let’s listen to the professional and 100% do as she says.

Sleepytime (after lovely bedtime) became 40 minutes, then less. He woke once but was up early. Lucy supported with that. By the end of the month, our lives were utterly transformed.

The bedtimes we’d always imagined, the sleep we’d stopped believing was possible. Time to relax, time to eat, time for our marriage.

We can’t thank Calm and Bright enough. Whatever your situation, there is help.

5* isn’t enough!
This is my third boy and second time I’m following the plan. Just goes to show however different the child your plan works every time! It’s pure magic 🪄
We are day 4 and had 11.5 hours uninterrupted sleep last night and 3 self settled cot naps today. When i think 4 days ago we were co sleeping, waking every 1-1.5 hours and feeding to sleep and the change in such a short space of time is transformational!
My elder two are so excited to have mummy back to read their bedtime stories.
If you’re reading this thinking about whether to buy the plan, just do it. The only regret you’ll have is not doing it sooner!

Once again 5*! I would give 10* if I could. This was my second time with Calm & Bright (second baby) and a totally different sleep teaching experience. Same goal and same outcome in the end thankfully and all thanks to them and their incredible Lucy. I actively recommend and champion Calm & Bright to all parents I speak to. Once again, they’ve changed our lives.
