This course was a true life-changer. Our baby used to sleep “okay” during her first 4 months and then she started to wake up every 1-2 hours each night. We took the course because my maternity leave was finishing and I felt I needed help to rest more. Well, after one week our baby was already sleeping 10-11 hours without waking up. During the first week she was crying at the beginning but I could see that with Cara’s method she was not suffering, I never felt like I was abandoning my baby. After this course I found out that it is totally possible to rest properly even with a 5months old baby!!

This program was worth every penny. Our baby had been struggling with sleep at about 8 mos and there were no signs of it letting up. After months of broken sleep and constant night feedings I decided to purchase this program. Night 1 baby slept through the night and 6 weeks later still sleeping through the night! The best part of this program is not only the science backed steps to follow, but the alternatives to adjust to fit your specific baby's needs. When we have a bump in the road we have a reference to go back to. We're a lot more confident in our sleep decisions and have a solid lil sleeper.

Worked night one! We went 6-7 months without our child sleeping through the night after the 4 month regression. When we finally let go of our stubbornness and started sleep training with Taking Cara Babies, our child slept through the night on night one and has continued to be able sleep through the night on his own even through teething and sickness.

We were desperate. I needed sleep. My fiance works nights so he couldn't even take iver for me during the night to let me catch up so I was slowly just going more insane everyday. We finally bought this course and y'all. Seriously the best decision of my life. She sleeps through the night and she takes longer naps too. Such a gift.

My son started sleeping through the night around 10 weeks old with no sleep training and just a routine.. after he started daycare and hit the 4/5 month sleep regression he started to get needy at night, and needed to be rocked to sleep. He’d sleep through the night about 50% of the time, but the other nights he was waking 5-6 times and just wanted to be cuddled and sleep in my arms- being a full time working mom this was becoming exhausting each night. He would also wake up before 6am most mornings and on weekends we’d be bringing him into our bed in the morning to get a little extra sleep . I finally caved and decided to fully sleep train and not give in … I read through all the courses in literally a day and started right away. By the 3rd night, he was barely crying when we closed the door, and by the 4th night he was happy and quiet, falling asleep by himself and staying asleep. I even had to start wake him up in the morning. It’s been 6 weeks now (he is 9 months) and bedtime is a breeze and we’re all getting full nights sleep, I have to wake him up for daycare every morning and on the weekends he even sleeps in until 730/8. This was the miracle I never knew I needed- it was SO simple and the crying was so minimal!! We all enjoy bedtime and sleep now and he’s even learned to take much longer naps (went from 30 min to two 2 hour naps). Spend the money, just do it…you won’t regret it at all!!!

It's really helping me! We are conquering naps first, as that's when i have the most energy (daytime) but I'm using the other strategies to help with nights with my 4-month old. Cara is easy to listen to, gives bite-sized lessons so I can learn in small bursts, which I really appreciate as I'm busy with a baby and bigger kids! In a few weeks, when he's 5 months old, I'll have reviewed the material several times and will implement all of the night time strategies. This is my fourth child actually, but its been 10 years since the last one was born... and I dont think I slept for 7 years straight back then, so I'm ready to rest this time around! Thank you!

This course was life-changing! I was honestly hesitant to purchase because I wasn't sure it would work. I have read through a few other books and programs already, so I didn't think this course would tell me anything I didn't already know. I was worried my baby's sleep habits were "too far gone." My 11 month old was sleeping in bed with me and waking every 1.5-2 hours wanting to be nursed back to sleep. She absolutely hated her crib and would scream within 3 mintues of being placed in her crib after falling asleep. I just assumed that I let her create these habits and I would have to live with them! Especially since I couldn't handle cry-it-out. Many sleep training courses that I looked at were geared toward begining within the first two months of baby's life, so I was encoured that this program was targeted for 5-24 months. I read many reviews and was excited to see that some people were in the same situation as my baby and I were. I finally decided it was worth a try. I was so encouraged by Cara's course because not only did she provide techniques for supporting independent sleep, she also acknowledged the emotional implications as a parent. My mom-guilt and anxiety was relieved by the advice and encouragement she provided. Her course is also based on a lot of research and best practices and it is evident that her strategies are well-informed. I had read in various reviews that the first few nights were really tough, so I prepared myself for the absolute worst. I was expecting lots of crying and no sleep for anyone. I did everything according to the plan and my baby put herself to sleep in 45 minutes! I could not believe my eyes. She woke a few times in the night but settled again with some support. Within 3 nights, she was putting herself to sleep within about 30 minutes and sleeping through the night without needing support. By the end of the two week training period, she was sleeping like an old pro. Now when she's super tired, she practically lunges into her crib from my arms when it is time for bed (the same crib she used to despise.) I have gotten my life, sleep, and sanity back. I no longer have to go to bed when she does, nor wake every 2 hours to feed her. She is in her safest sleep environment. My husband and I can sleep in the same bed again. We can stay up watching our favorite TV shows after I put her into her bed and walk away. My baby is well-rested and wakes happily. Our quality of life improved so much thanks to this course. TL;DR: If you are ready for a change and you are willing to put these strategies into practice, you will not regret following Cara's sleep plan. The cost was a small price to pay for regaining my sleep and sanity. My baby is now a good sleeper--something I did not think possible. BUY THE COURSE.

We bought the 5-24 month collection because our usually good 7 month old sleeper was struggling with night wakings and wouldn’t go back to sleep unless we rocked her. Cara’s pop in methods helped us help our daughter learn to soothe herself while also making sure she knew we were there with her every step of the way. We couldn’t be happier with these classes! We also bought the newborn series, which helped us set a good foundation for our little girl. Thank you Cara!
