“We have used components from all 3 of these classes! Honest the nap class was so incredibly helpful for us. It gave us some fantastic tools to use to help us finally stop those car naps!”
“This is a tough review to write. We started sleep training using Taking Cara Babies method when our baby boy was 7 months old. We followed all of Cara's advice about wake windows, daytime sleep, pop-ins, etc, to. the. letter. The original sleep training took our son the full 14 days (plus a couple) and it was miserable. Listening to your baby cry and not being able to do anything about it is a special kind of torture. In addition to that, you're not getting any sleep because you're listening to your baby cry. BUT all that would be worth it to me if it meant my baby would get good, consolidated sleep after completing it. And he did. For about 3 months. Now he is 10 months, almost 11 and he wakes up at the same time every night and cries for about an hour, sometimes 2. We do the pop-ins, we basically have been "re sleep-training" him, and it is not working. We have gone back and looked at Taking Cara Babies "Bumps Along the Way" and nothing has worked or helped. So it's a tough to review something like this because while I think sleep training, in general, works for most babies, our son has been difficult. And the reason for the 2 stars is because, with the price of this collection being as high as it is, I would not expect to have to pay another $75 just to have a phone consultation when the method isn't working as it should. I would like to see a complimentary phone consultation for people who purchase the 5-24 Months Collection for parents having a difficult time.”

“I wasn’t sold on sleep training, but I just couldn’t do it anymore. I dreaded nighttime. I didn’t feel like I was the Mom that wanted to be. We were getting up with our 8 month old baby girl over 12-20 times per night to replace her pacifier and rock her back to sleep. Bedtime took hours… Cara has changed our lives. Who knew that it was the little things we were doing that were actually the cause of our daughter not sleeping. We love that we have stayed emotionally connected to our daughter. The first night of our training, our daughter slept 12 hrs and has continued to do so. Being well rested, our daughter is happier, and naps better during the day as well. We are all happier, healthier, and I finally feel like I can be the Mom I want to be.”
“I can’t thank Cara enough for all of the amazing and useful information in her 5 to 24 month collection! My husband and I were at our wits end with our lack of sleep and we knew we had to make a serious change. We committed to the program, and in eight nights, our little guy was independently, putting himself to sleep and sleeping from 7:30 PM until 6 AM with no middle of the night wakes! It has brought so much joy back to our life. ❤️”
“All I can say is, wow. We have twin boys and started this program as soon as they hit 5 months and, I am not joking, it only took one hard night and they have been sleeping about 9-10 hours on a regular basis. We continue to use the principles when we hit bumps along the way. Boys are 6 months old now and we could not be happier with this purchase. Thank you!”
“I was SKEPTICAL, but desperate to begin this program. I felt like I was 100% the reason that my baby wasn't sleeping through the night. Once I went back to work at the hospital, it was easiest for me to just go in his room overnight when he cried, nurse for a few minutes, and lay him back down. If this just happened once per night, we probably would have been okay. But over time, it started happening more and more. Some nights we were up 3 times, and I knew he wasn't actually hungry - he was just used to me. I know how important setting the foundation for good sleep is. Additionally, we have an older child that our baby kept waking up. Lastly, it was impacting my rest and restoration which is important in maintaining all that needs to be balanced in motherhood and work. I was afraid that if I started this program, I might be unsuccessful or my baby would be too stubborn and it would fail, and then we'd be really stuck. I also was afraid my husband wouldn't buy in. However, we both agreed to just buy the course, watch the classes, and hear the strategies. Once we were on the same page, we followed it to a T! The videos are so worth the time it takes to get through them, and we felt very equipped to begin. Within 3 nights, our baby wasn't waking up anymore, and if he was, he would go back to sleep. We are now 1 month out from doing the course, and we continued to use the same strategies on the rare nights we need to (pop-in method). Overall, our baby's sleep quality is so much improved. We still have some early morning wakings, but I feel Cara is with us every step of the way and that is so comforting. She has such a gift! I would recommend this course to any parent!!”
