Invaluable

I had followed Heidi on Instagram since my first born went through the 4 month regression and had always found her encouraging and approachable and just the tips she had given online had helped a lot When it came to my second born I wanted to be super prepared so I took her newborn online course It was super affordable and was well set out so it meant I could look at it bit by bit and I could always fit it into my day I loved that there was transcripts with the videos so if I wanted to revisit it I could quickly read through it again and find the bits I needed instead of scrolling through the video The course covered absolutely everything I wanted to know and it prepared me well regarding wake windows reflux beginning to help my little one self settle and much more When my second one made a very early entrance to the world I wasn t sure when to start but Heidi got back to me straight away so I knew everything I learnt was still applicable it was just going to take my preemie baby a little longer especially with reflux as well I have taken both the newborn course and the reflux course and they have been invaluable and my little one is in a much better place with his sleep compared to my first and the four month regression has had much less of an impact thanks to this course

Newborn Sleep Reflux solved

After following Heidi on Instagram for years using her incredible tips listening to her fantastic podcast going on webinars and buying her sleep courses for our toddler I knew she was the only lady to hold our hand through another tough newborn phase with baby number 2 Our poor refluxy baby was so uncomfortable gassy and unsettled during the evenings and we were spending every night pacing the floors and taking it in shifts to try and feed wind and get her comfortable for bed time It took is hours We were exhausted But most of all it was really upsetting to see her so uncomfortable So we set up a newborn sleep support call made the changes suggested by Heidi which included discussion and advice on tongue tie breastfeeding and latch combi feeding which formula to try for her silent reflux which worked a treat what to do to improve sleep and here we are enjoying our evenings bonding with our new baby and enjoying cuddles rather than feeling upset and helpless She s also now so comfortable she s started sleeping much longer stints at night time and we feel more rested and better able to enjoy our family time We also have more energy for our toddler Heidi has literally made parenthood SO much easier to navigate way more enjoyable than it would have otherwise been with all the reflux and sleep worries and a massive shout out for helping navigate lockdown home naps and then back to pram car naps when lockdown was lifted We appreciate all the amazing content and advice on Instagram and learning from what you do with your own children we could not be more grateful

I have followed Heidi on Instagram for

I have followed Heidi on Instagram for over 5 years love all her content I contacted her to help me to get my two daughters ages 2 5 years and 5 year old to sleep without me Covid house Reno lead my two girl s to start co sleeping with me They refused to go to sleep by themselves in-fact they relied on me to put them to sleep This created a lot of strain on me my relationship and sleeping between them both did not give me a peaceful sleep I had my phone call with Hiedi she asked me how they both were did her fact finding and we came up with a plan I was comfortable with She gave clear instructions told me it will all be worth it and made me feel at ease We used a gentle approach setting clear boundaries The plan worked quicker then she anticipated and we were both shocked how well the girl s dealt with it In less then a week both girjs we re going to sleep by themselves and all I was doing is tucking them in and leaving the room They wake up between 7 7 30 This is a dream and I can t thank Hiedi enough and I highly recommend her

Baby Sleep Course is a game changer

The online Baby Sleep Course is a game changer We bought it when our third baby was 6 months old and we were barely sleeping - nights were awful I loved this course because it s very clear you can choose to read info and or watch videos and Heidi gives you so much confidence because she knows it works And it s concise which is important for sleep deprived and time-poor parents Sounds crazy but on just the first night our baby had her longest stretch of sleep ever Within days we d got her down to one night feed And we re now 10 days in and she slept all night without feeds Brilliant If you re thinking about it just do it Getting your sleep back improves everything

Online Baby Sleep Routine Course

We signed up for Heidi s Online Baby Sleep Routine Course having been recommended by friends who had been having sleep issues with both of their twins Our daughter was having problems with her daytime naps in particular due to reflux when she was a few months old and was prone to regular bouts of grumpiness as a result but after taking the course we introduced a routine per Heidi s simple recommendations and it wasn t long before she turned into a great sleeper and a much happier baby She is now 2 and we are still incredibly grateful for our happy little toddler and the continued wonderful nights sleep We highly recommend the course for anyone who is having sleep issues with their little ones or are simply looking to introduce a more structured routine

Essential newborn purchase

We purchased Heidi s newborn sleep course when our baby was 8 weeks old We followed the guidance for self settling winding pacifier use routines and much more all of which have been instrumental in our little ones sleep and in particular helping her sleep longer stretches We went through sleep regression at 3 months and this was only a couple of days into our self settling work which was all very gentle which I loved Once we were through the regression she started sleeping through the night and we have only needed to tweak her routine month by month I firmly believe that had we not followed the course and introduced healthy sleep habits when we did that we would be in a very different place - with a lot less sleep I m so grateful for all of the invaluable advice the course offers We loved it so much we purchased the baby sleep course the routine guidance in these is brilliant It has really helped my husband who works full time so not around during the days also understand awake windows our routine which changes slightly month by month I would highly recommend to any parent who may need help with not only babies sleep but potential reflux as well

Knowledge is power

As a first-time parent there is SO much solicited and unsolicited thank you kind-hearted relatives thrown at you about most other aspects of new born care apart from sleeping In fact a new mother needs good quality nutrition care and sleep to recover from childbirth and show up as her best self for her family Heidi s course systematically debunks the well-held beliefs about new born sleep and subsequently that of the parents Information is presented in a factual and non-judgmental manner the course isn t telling you to let you new born cry it out or to hold him her less It s helping you select an option that you d like to try with your new born and your family More importantly it targets the stigma around colic or reflux being normal Like Heidi says just because it is common and it is doesn t have to mean it has to be your normal and there s SO much you can do to help your baby be more comfortable Yet none of this in my experience is talked about through the solicited or unsolicited thanks again kind-hearted relatives information channels If you re a first time parent take the course Even if you decide never to implement any form of sleep shaping or coaching knowledge is power

Highly recommend Vikki from PBC - excellent advice

When my daughter was 9months old I bought the sleep support package with Vikki to help us with multiple night wakings I felt like I was at breaking point and I was desperate to improve our sleep situation Vikki was so supportive and reassuring It was so helpful to talk our issues through and gain her advice I felt she went over and above the package which I had paid for She spent extra time on the phone with me the first evening and then stayed in touch with me frequently afterwards to see how we were getting on Importantly we also saw results and our daughter s sleep dramatically improved She starting sleeping 11 hours a night which was life changing for us At around 14 months I got in touch with Vikki again as I was having some issues with the nap transition from 2 to 1 naps a day and again I found her advice really useful I particularly like the fact that she really listened to our individual circumstances and didn t just suggest a one size fits all approach She encouraged me to stick with the elements of our routine that were working well for us and I didn t want to change rather than forcing us into a textbook approach I would highly recommended booking time with Vikki if you need some help improving your child s sleep

Dream sleep package

We got in touch with Heidi as we felt we didn t know what else to do for our little boy He was 10 months old and would be waking up multiple times in the night and naps in the day were awful With Heidi we initially looked at changing his diet slightly as he did seem uncomfortable a lot at night We started to remove dairy from his diet and then we began to look at his sleep The first night went way better than we expected and within a few nights he was sleeping through the night He is now sleeping about 11 hours every night Also we are even able to put him down in his cot for a nap in the day which had never been successful before Thank you Heidi
