Im a first time mum and, I was introduced to Anisa by a good friend of mine who’d successfully undergone “sleep training” or what I’d like to call “teaching your baby to rest enough” with her little one. They had developed a great resting schedule which is vital for babies growth. I was afraid of how my LO would respond to this as from 1-3 months, she was used to lying in my arms and sleeping on me the whole day. She would sleep feed during her day time naps and before bed time, this was something we had become used to.
Anisas guidance has involved my LO moving to her own room, and sleeping independently from her day time naps through to night time sleep. This is fantastic! It has been so good for her getting full naps, and proper night time rest. New to this concept, I was sceptical that within 10 days only, she would adjust. I was afraid of the crying and feeling like I’m abandoning her.
My husband and I were very happy with the programme. We followed all the advice given, and stayed strong and within 4 days we had started to develop a schedule that worked for our LO. 3 Weeks later, it’s safe to say that her naps have become very consistent, she is sleeping through the night from 7pm-6.30am. We were able to sustain her naps even when we went away for the day, as they have become normal to her. This has been overall very good for her development, she is well rested through the day and is not frustrated so, she’s been more patient with excersises like tummy time, which is really important. Her feeding schedule has also meant that she’s feeding much more – getting full feeds atleast times a day, and this has been great for her growth and also her digestion.
Being able to do this with my LO has allowed me to get back to working from home as I can schedule my work, virtual meetings and also get some time to take care of myself around her consistent schedule, so I can be the best version of myself. My LO loves routine and creating a resting routine has been paramount for her health and wellbeing overall.
I would highly recommend sleep training with Anisa to any first time parent. Her guidance and advice was amazing, her experience and expertise spoke volumes and she understood every question that I had and was able to help me through any challenges we faced. Her suggestions always came through.
