“Cannot recommend Baby Sleep Society enough!”
“Cannot recommend Baby Sleep Society enough! Helen and Cora helped us with our twins when we were getting zero sleep and at the end of our tethers. As well as being extremely supportive and kind, championing and encouraging us, they gave us such helpful advice which really made a huge difference. From how to get them napping in the day, to how to manage two babies overnight, to actually understanding why they may be reacting in a certain way (i.e. not sleeping / waking up!), to just feeling like we’ve got this and we can do it. Highly recommend and still use and look back at the advice they gave us. Thank you Helen and Cora!”

“Baby Sleep Society was a much needed godsend for our family.”
“I was preparing to go back to work and was really struggling with my son's sleep pattern in addition to trying to wean him off breastfeeding. I was pretty desperate when I reached out to Helen and Cora. They took the time to understand my situation and my routine and this was evident when I received their personalised plan. The process was clear to understand and I particularly liked that each recommendation was backed up with an explanation as to why I was doing it. All of my concerns were individually addressed. The "cheat sheet" was brilliant and I referred to this time and time again. More importantly I was made to feel in control of the situation and I felt like I could check in with Helen and Cora at any point when I needed support. The end result was fantastic, by using Baby Sleep Society's methods my son's sleeping improved drastically and I was able to wean him off the night feeds. Most importantly none of the methods involved letting him cry. I highly recommend Baby Sleep Society.”

“Thank you so much Helen and Cora!”
“Our 14-month old was waking 5-6 times a night, I had returned to work after my maternity leave and we were all struggling a bit on such broken sleep. Helen and Cora listened and we felt they really thought about us as a family and about our parenting style. After our initial chat, they sent through our sleep plan. This completely put us at ease. All the suggestions were clear and well explained and we really liked how everything was very clearly broken down into sections. So many sections rang true and the quick wins meant that we felt ready and able to get started the next day. Some things helped almost immediately and other changes took more time but we were supported all the way via WhatsApp and in our catch up phone calls. Helen and Cora were so helpful, no question was too silly and it was really reassuring as first time parents to be able to chat ideas and our experiences through. Our sleep has already improved, and we’re pleased that this has happened without any tears from any of us. We are feeling more confident in our decisions after working with Helen and Cora. Thank you both!”

“Knowing that she is able to sleep through the night is life changing”
“The sleep plan was so personal and having gradual steps made me feel like we could do it. I was feeling hopeless and unable to handle lots of crying but the plan was gentle and it just worked. I felt really supported by Helen and Cora and they really listened to how I felt about the different methods they discussed with me. Being able to enable my daughter to sleep peacefully is priceless.”

“I’m a week and a half into implementing changes and the days feel much more structured, and the nights - well, he’s slept through twice!”
“I had a great experience with Helen and Cora. My 4-month-old baby doesn’t nap for longer than 30 minutes, and being able to troubleshoot with them and work out solutions unique to my situation was wonderful. I’m a week and a half into implementing changes and the days feel much more structured, and the nights - well, he’s slept through twice! An unexpected bonus from adjusting daytime naps. I feel confident now that we’re moving in the right direction sleep wise, rather than feeling a bit stressed and lost as I was before.”

"Helen and Cora have provided much needed support and guidance through a tricky period of little sleep at night!”
"Helen and Cora have provided much needed support and guidance through a tricky period of little sleep at night! They were thorough in exploring all about our baby and not just his sleep and use gentle approaches that have already made a huge impact after a few days. Thank you so much, especially for fitting us in during the Christmas period!"
— Stevie and Baby Theo (aged 5 months)
"We followed their advice and like magic she suddenly was getting the sleep she needed and we got our evenings back.”
“Helen and Cora saved us with their advice and sleep plan for our baby Flora. She wasn't napping or going down in the evening and we were so exhausted. We followed their advice and like magic she suddenly was getting the sleep she needed and we got our evenings back. Would thoroughly recommend!”
— Frances and Baby Flora (aged 5 months)
"Helen and Cora have been a constant source of sound advice as my baby has moved through the various phases of sleep”
“Helen and Cora have been a constant source of sound advice as my baby has moved through the various phases of sleep. They’ve always got new ideas and helpful tips that have effectively and gently helped steer my baby towards a good night's sleep and healthy nap pattern. I'd highly recommend.”

"We went from our daughter having regular wake ups in the evening and longggg periods of time awake at night, to sleeping through!”
“We cannot recommend Helen and Cora enough!!! We went from our daughter having regular wake ups in the evening and longggg periods of time awake at night, to sleeping through! We cannot thank you enough for your knowledge and the information you provided. I felt completely clueless about babies sleep before and now I feel like I know what I’m doing and this is thanks to you both! The WhatsApp support was brilliant, to have you breakdown the day for me was so so helpful. Thank you again for everything!”
— Jess, Alex and Baby Frankie (aged 6 months)
“Literally within days Maxwell was a different baby - he is now a joy to put to bed, we have our evenings back as a couple and we all now feel so much better in the mornings after a good nights sleep!”
“I am not normally one to ask for help if I’m honest but in hindsight I am unsure why we suffered for so long! Maxwell for 8 weeks was waking every couple of hours and as parents we were both exhausted. Helen and Cora didn’t judge our routine, or come in too hard with change but asked all the right questions and “tweaked” what worked for us as a family. Literally within days Maxwell was a different baby - he is now a joy to put to bed, we have our evenings back as a couple and we all now feel so much better in the mornings after a good nights sleep! Thank you so much!”

“Our 3 month old went from: co sleeping, waking hourly at night, and only doing contact naps to sleeping independently in her crib for naps and overnight with minimal fuss and she only wakes up twice at night!”
“Helen and Cora were absolutely amazing. We did a initial call and then a week of WhatsApp support afterwards. Our 3 month old went from: co sleeping, waking hourly at night, and only doing contact naps to sleeping independently in her crib for naps and overnight with minimal fuss and she only wakes up twice at night!
We couldn't have done it without their support. They guided us through responsive sleep training perfectly and gave us the confidence that we were doing the right thing.
All three of us are much happier and better rested.”

“His napping improved within 2 days and he is now sleeping through the night. Would totally recommend!”
“Helen and Cora have been absolutely amazing and provided such clear and helpful advice to massively improve our seven month old's sleeping. He was only doing very short naps and was waking every two hours through the night - we were at our wits end! They provided a clear timetable of ideal nap windows and with some other simple and gentle tweaks, his napping improved within 2 days and he is now sleeping through the night. Would totally recommend!”

“Helen and Cora have, in short, saved our lives…After 4 days, we had our first uninterupted night's sleep in nearly two years, which was an experience bordering on the transcendental.”
“Helen and Cora have, in short, saved our lives. We were really struggling with our 20 month-old twins' sleep, to the extent that we had fallen into a cope-first pattern that wasn't helping any of us tackle the underlying issues, and more often than not we were all awake several times a night. This was having a huge impact on our work, familial relationships and abilities to cope with the various challenges everyday life throws at us.
After several weeks where the situation just kept getting worse and we were beyond our wits' end, we turned to Helen and Cora following a recommendation from a friend. We provided as much information as we could to them (it was actually quite scary and extremely depressing seeing our nightly 'routine' written down in black and white), and then had a call with them over Zoom where they talked through their recommendations. They were completely non-judgemental, extremely caring, kind, thorough and analytical in their approach, and presented us with a couple of different options to help us figure out the best way to implement their recommendations.
Depsite this reassurance, we were still slightly anxious about how well their plan would work, but the results were literally remarkable (as in, we genuinely couldn't stop telling people what a difference it had made). Within two nights one of our children was sleeping through, and the other had reduced to one wake up. After 4 days, we had our first uninterupted night's sleep in nearly two years, which was an experience bordering on the transcendental.
Throughout this process, Helen and Cora have been unwavering in their support via WhatsApp, checking in regularly, offering tips, encouragement and reassurance, while never being pushy or smug.
To anyone going through child-induced sleep deprivation, it can feel like a very lonely, hopeless place, and an ongoing cycle that has no clear end point. Without the help of The Baby Sleep Society, we would undoubtedly still be stuck in that cycle today.
I can't recommend Helen and Cora's help enough. Thank you.”

“Helen was great in helping us transitioning our almost 1 year old baby from waking once or twice per night to sleeping through the night. What a change!”
Helen was great in helping us transitioning our almost 1 year old baby from waking once or twice per night to sleeping through the night. What a change! We went for the single consultation, rather than the longer programme, as we had already a lot of "good" practices in place, so we just needed someone to understand/comment on what we were doing and see if we could add a few things to make it work. Her approach was great, she listened to us and gathered all the info and then suggested a series of things we could try to improve our routine, some easier to implement than others! That's exactly what we needed and it worked very well, would definitively recommend.

“Helen and Cora have given us the gift of sleep and we could not be more thankful.”
HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Helen and Cora have given us the gift of sleep and we could not be more thankful. After a quick consultation Helen recognised that our 6 month old son wasn’t getting the right amount of sleep and helped us with a daytime nap schedule which made a huge difference in just a couple of days. She then gave us a couple of options for how to approach sleep training gently, so we could choose what felt most natural to us as parents and it has worked a treat. We had a little set back due to illness, but Helen gave amazing support when we were ready to get back to a routine and it took under a week to go from having him wake every 40 minutes and all night long to soothing himself to sleep and doing 12 hour stretches every night. Tonight is the 7th night he’s gone down easily in his cot and after months of surviving on the bare minimum we now feel like ourselves again, and we’ve got our evenings back! We’re even managing solo naps in the cot during the day now, which seemed impossible before. It has been so great having some reassurance that we’re doing the right things even when it doesn’t work immediately, I think this is what gave us the confidence to keep going and the consistency has really paid off. Thanks again to both of you, for making us feel human again!
