Sleeping Bunnies Avis 

What a fantastic team, helped all throughout the process from start to finish. So supportive and non judgemental. We just thought our first two weren't 'good sleepers ' but thought we'd give it it a go. Wow what a difference it makes, our family is so much the better for it. Just thank you :)

Our 11 month old boy co-slept and contact slept, he also woke up several times a night, we had tried everything to get him into his cot and have struggled. Within a week of working with Karlie, he’s gone into his cot and from taking 2 hours to get him down with some help, to now self settling for naps within a matter of minutes, last night we had our first night where he slept the entire night in his own room and his own cot. We couldn’t have done it without sleeping bunnies, the care and attention Karlie has put into helping us get him to sleep on his own has been brilliant! Highly recommend.

I have taken a long time to write this review after some reflection & also along with my own research into 'sleep training'. This is my reflection as a first time parent on this. I recommend reading, The Book I wish my Parents had read on attachment theory & impact this has on babies.

Firstly, this is not a gentle approach & involves crying. Crying it out (Nope), Crying for a period of time (absolutely).

Firstly, I would say if you if you haven't done any research into white noise, wake windows, sleep cycles, black out blinds, sleep associations & are a complete novice to infant sleep then sure they can offer you support on that which you might find valuable. This information can easily be found on Instagram through research etc.

Feels like a Cookie Cutter Approach: If you have again done your own research you can find a bog standard routine for your child according to their child's age a lot cheaper elsewhere. Huckleberry, Just Chill Mama for example. Sleeping Bunnies will offer you 'moral support' with some voice notes, saying you can do it, stick with it.. whilst your child cries :(.

Holistic Approach: Absolutely not true (from my experience), this does not take into account sickness, allergies, reflux, temperament, possible oral dysfunction, tongue ties, tension etc. They do ask but definitely do not take this into account. Is it not important to understand 'why' your baby is crying at night, rather than to let them cry & eventually fall to sleep? Personally, you need to get to the root of the cause.

If you want a real holistic & responsive approach, The Fox, Moon & The Sleep & Care it Out & other companies have a more responsive style which I regret not paying for instead. My Health Visitor has offered to support for free with a more gradual approach. So also worth checking in with your HV.

If your child is laid back & a dream at night, then sure this might be the approach for you. If you are happy listening to your baby cry & are that desperate, then this may work for you. Personally this was one of the lowest points of my parenting journey so far & fills me with regret.

Unfortunately, I got sucked into Instagram influencers who they work for (who they seem to gift services too or be friends with). Eek, more fool me!

Don't feel pressure to sleep train as everyone seems to be doing it. Co-sleep safely, feed to sleep, feed your baby in the night, cuddle them- If it works for you, don't stop because someone says oh by this age, they should not be doing that! You know your child best!

Sleeping bunnies are fantastic. I have worked with the team for my first baby and now again for my second and they have been such a help both times. For my second baby I worked with Karlie to help with daytime naps in the cot, and we had such progress so quickly as Karlie guided us to make sure we had the nap times right and a gentle method to help our baby to learn to self settle. The support is just so helpful and as everyone says, is the best money you will spend! Highly recommend

We’ve now been supported by Kelly at Sleeping Bunnies on two occasions and wouldn’t hesitate to contact her again. We found the Sleeping Bunnies approach gentle and practical and our son is sleeping much better as a result.

Our daughter who has just turned 2 has never slept through but a few months ago she started waking 5/6 times in the night and suddenly became afraid of the dark and needed us in the room with her. We would leave after she'd fallen asleep (sometimes this would take 90 minutes) and we'd have to repeat this process at every wakeup. My husband and I were at the end of our tether and we just couldn't function anymore so we contacted Sleeping Bunnies (we also have a baby due in 2 months!).
In our consultation we went through everything and Kelly came up with a plan for us, we stuck to it and saw progress after progress, our daughter is now sleeping through!!!!! And even naps in her bed (we used to have to take her out in the pram). I have noticed that my daughter seems happier and has less tantrums now. I cannot thank Kelly enough, she is like a magician. I honestly didn't think this was fixable but the ladies at Sleeping Bunnies are just amazing!! Kelly was so good at responding to us promptly and giving us amazing tips along the way!! Thank you so much Kelly, you really are a magician!!

Karlie was great, personable and supportive all the way through, exactly the help we needed and she gave me confidence as dad in helping put her to sleep, she laid out a plan which we followed pretty much to the letter and our little daughter Frankie now has the skills to put herself to sleep which is a total game changer!

A week after working with sleeping bunnies our daughter sleeps 6.30pm-7am. She is now 6 months old and sleeps independently for naps and at bedtime. I never thought i would enjoy an evening cooking, or sleeping in my own bed ever again but within a week we were there. Sleeping bunnies really quickly gave me the tools, confidence and piece of mind to make it happen.
I was really nervous starting sleep training, but I felt so supported and had my hand held all the way. Very quickly our consultant Karlie became part of the family and was able to understand in great details our daughter and how we are as parents. We were guided through the process step by step and then given the opportunity to put what we had learned into practice. I was so surprised how quickly our little baby learned these new skills and how she then wanted to continue to use them to go to sleep.
I cannot recommend using sleeping bunnies more. Sleep is the cornerstone of growth and development and for us mums and dads the ability to get 8 hours sleep as well as time during naps in the day to do stuff is priceless.

I followed them on Instagram for ages and the reviews seemed too good to be true, I never thought I would get my little one to the stage we are at now. I was up every two hours every night and she would only feed to sleep and contact nap in the day. After 10 months of this, we finally contacted sleeping bunnies. From the very first session with Kristie my whole outlook changed. She was so kind and knowledgeable and both me and my husband felt so positive. Throughout the journey she was so patient with us and was able to drastically improve any wobbles or issues we faced. Now Annie sleeps through the night, and sleeps in her crib both for naps and at bedtime. She is able to fall asleep on her own, without getting upset. I wish we had done this sooner. Thank you Kristie!

Kelly at Sleeping Bunnies has helped us so much! Our little one wasn’t an awful sleeper but I did feel lost on routine/ awake windows etc as a first time mum google can be a little overwhelming with it all!

As soon as I had finished the introductory call with Kelly I felt confident in the approach. She was friendly, approachable and I felt understood with what we wanted to try and achieve. We ditched the dummy after one nap (omg!) and within 2 weeks we had dropped the structured feed and he was sleeping through the night.

Kelly has given me the confidence in my little boys sleep patterns, how to help him achieve optimum sleep and how we can work together in the day! I would highly recommend using them even only for some guidance. Thank you so much again! 🙌🏼

Earlier this year my partner and I decided to get help for our 7 month old’s sleep who was waking up every 1-2 hours at night to breastfeed and would only contact nap. We had heard great things about Sleeping Bunnies and decided to give it a go. As I gave Kristie our wish list I was sure that it just wasn’t achievable with our little one. Fast forward a few weeks of working with Kristie and Anna and every single goal was achieved! Our little boy now sleeps through the night and has wonderful independent naps in his cot. Both Kristie and Anna were absolutely amazing and so dedicated to making each step work for us in a way that we felt comfortable with. What we learnt from them along the way also means that we feel so well equipped to get sleep back on track when any changes in schedule occur - we have just gone on our first holiday and sleep couldn’t have gone smoother!
I could not recommend Sleeping Bunnies enough. Amazing people to work with and truly the best investment we have ever made!

Working with Karlie has been great. She helped give me the confidence to make the changes needed so my 11 month old could start sleeping through the night. By the end of the course, he was taking 2 regular naps, putting himself to sleep and sleeping through in his own cot. We had co-slept for over 10 months and still happily breastfeeding. Highly recommend!

We started our journey with a 2 year old who would only be fed to sleep by mum and was waking every 2 hours throughout the night. 4 weeks later our daughter can self settle, will be put to bed by Mum or Dad and does much longer stretches throughout the night. It’s not an exaggeration to say it’s been life changing for our family and Kelly was fantastic throughout each stage. She listened to us, didn’t push any particular method and was supportive and motivating throughout. I only wish we’d done this sooner!

We were struggling with our daughter's sleep. It was not only impacting my mental health but our relationship as a couple. As first time parents we heavily relied on books, articles which gave us an understanding but I am afraid in our case none of it worked in practicality. And of course google took us down the rabbit hole!

Sleeping Bunnies were recommended to us and our first 1-2-1 conversation with Karlie was a game changer! She heard us out and crafted a plan for our daughter. Throughout the training Karlie ensured our preferences were respected and it was holistic sleep approach which we always wanted. She was really patient with us and motivated us on days when things weren't going to plan!

It was unbelievable that we saw changes within couple of days! At 7.5 months she was down from several short naps to 3 good length naps, she was also self settling, something we never thought was possible as she was always fed to sleep! Karlie also helped us with nap transition, at 8 months we were down to 2 good length naps. Karlie was very flexible with our package allowing us to continue the support even after our travel.

By far this has been the best investment we have made since becoming parents! I would highly recommend Sleeping Bunnies!

After months of feeling mentally drained and sleep deprived, we approached Sleeping Bunnies to help transition our 11 month old away from several negative sleep associations (contact sleeping, nursing multiple times with each night wake) that were impacting our sleep and day-to-day activities.

From the very first initial consultation, Karlie was extremely attentive and understanding, and her knowledge shone through as she not only created a plan that would work around our goals and needs, but also provided in depth explanations on the ins and outs of good sleep hygiene and optimal wake windows.

Fast forward four weeks and our little one is now able to settle himself to sleep in his own cot and only wakes once in the night. Karlie was on hand to walk us through the process, and no question was too much during our biweekly check-ins and follow up calls. Our only regret is that we did not do it sooner!

We finally feel like we have some sense of normality back into our lives and a decent night sleep at last!

Karlie helped us to break our 11 month old out of his 4/4.30am wakings such that he now wakes around 6 which has been game changing for us! It wasn’t a quick fix but Karlie had various things for us to try and was super responsive when we had stumbling blocks/issues! Thanks so much Karlie you’re a star ⭐️

I reached out to sleeping bunnies to help with our 18 month little boy, I was struggling with both nap and bedtime and with another baby on the way I was desperate to get on top of things.

Anna has been absolutely amazing, when we started working with her I was having to be present and in contact with our little boy on his floor bed for both nap and bedtime until he fell asleep and we would then have multiple wakes as well as co sleeping for the latter part of the night.

Our little boy now self settles to sleep in his cot (I never thought he would sleep in a cot) for both nap and bedtime and consistently sleeps through the night which is incredible! Bedtime is a breeze rather than a battle.

I wish we’d reached out sooner and I have already booked on for the newborn workshop for when our next baby arrives.

The best investment we’ve made for our family. Read other reviews and honestly didn’t believe it would work for us. We had been co-sleeping for 7 months with our daughter waking hourly and only contact napping in the day. Within days, she was successfully day time napping in her cot and was going to sleep contentedly, also in her cot in her own room, at night. Over the weeks we worked with Kristie, we very quickly got the night wakings down to just one, and now, two months later, she sleeps through the majority of nights. We can’t actually believe it and are so grateful.

We reached out to Sleeping Bunnies after our now 11 month old went from sleeping pretty well through the night in her cot to co-sleeping and multiple night wakes. We had also been unable to move away from contact naps. After trying other more drastic sleep training methods we were keen to find an approach that felt kind and responsive for all of us, and sustainable in the long term.

Karlie helped us so much! She took the time to find out about us, our circumstances and what we wanted to achieve for our little ones sleep. We had a few hiccups along the way, but the most valuable thing we gained was confidence in how to help our little girl to sleep independently, how to adapt our approaches to sleep on a daily basis in response to early wakes/short naps etc and to get rid of the dummy!!

We have a little way to go, but if you had told us a month earlier that our little one was able to get herself off to sleep at night, that we’d have evenings to enjoy as a couple and that she’d be napping in her cot we wouldn’t have believed it. Karlie was so amazingly supportive and knew just when to push us to make bigger changes and to give us the confidence to do so. Thank you so much!

We couldn't recommend Sleeping Bunnies enough! We were really struggling with sleep deprivation after the 4 month regression, feeling lost and in desperate need of some guidance and support. Kristie was absolutely amazing for us. Her knowledge, gentle approach, incredible support and reassurance was second to none and we learned so much even during the first call with her.

Sleeping Bunnies have such a responsive and tailored approach to sleep and we cannot thank them enough for their help and for always being there when we had questions or concerns. We now have the knowledge and tools to cope with any changes or disruption with sleep and feel so confident as first time parents! Our daughter is now 9 months old, happily sleeping through and we feel we can adapt to any and all situations that may arise, with a kind, loving and gentle approach.

Thank you thank you!! xx
