“I never write reviews so that is saying a lot that I'm here. We have a 15 month old who would only sleep when he was with us (contact naps, co-sleeping, etc.) since the day he was born and even then it wasn't 'good' sleep. He was waking almost every hour and only would go back to sleep if we gave him a bottle to calm him. After sometimes HOURS of rocking and soothing him, he would seemingly be asleep but inevitably would wake on transfer or within 30 minutes of it. No one in the house was sleeping, my fiance and I were at each other's throat, we were all miserable. But the 'cry it out' method just didn't seem right to us. However, something had to change. We did our research and landed on the Taking Cara Babies program. We literally didn't think anything would work but we both committed to it and I'M NOT KIDDING YOU when I say after the first night (which wasn't even half as bad as we expected it to be), our baby was sleeping in his own room, in his own crib for 10-12 hours a night. We are STILL in disbelief but we haven't felt more rested since before having him. We can put him down AWAKE and he puts himself asleep. I'm absolutely THRILLED. We now have some time to decompress at night, spend some time together, or get some chores done. Its life changing. If you're hesitant of 'sleep training' this program is perfect.”
“This approach simply didn’t work for my 10-12 month old. I was consistent, did all the things, made sure he wasn’t getting too much or too little sleep and made sure there were no outside factors effecting his sleep. However, he kept waking up at ~5am and would SCREAM for an hour+ until we started our morning. I emailed the taking cara babies team to explain all this and see what else to do, and they just encouraged me to purchase a phone consult and review the course again. Incredibly unhelpful and frustrating for a mom who has already poured over every single detail of his sleep for months. Having already spent a lot of money at Takin Cara Babies I did not want buy a phone consult. It is now 3+ months later and my infant is still screaming at 5am :|”
Chelsie-
I’m sorry to hear that you’re still struggling with those early morning wakings; I know they can feel so discouraging. We’re always happy to help via email when we can, but there are some struggles that can be really difficult to troubleshoot without getting on the phone and really deep diving your whole situation. Should you ever decide you want to work with us further, we would be happy to help via phone consult.
“This class was life saving ! I wouldn’t be able to do sleep training any other way. While it is an investment.. having all night sleep and reclaiming your bed is process. Tank you.”
“The collection had great tips and answered almost every question and scenario you can think of about sleep training your little one. Unfortunately, the lessons/videos did not work for our family. My 9-month old became extremely stressed out every night for the week we tried, so we ended up giving up as this style of sleep training is not for my little one.”
Hi Katherine, I'm sad to hear the class wasn't a good fit for your family. Please know that all of our courses come with a 30-day money-back guarantee to protect your investment. If you'll email Info@takingcarababies.com, we can help you with next steps.
“So, my wife and I purchased the set of videos for 0–5 months, and it helped us so much to lay a good foundation. She was sleeping almost 10 hours every night with the night feed. When we reached 6 months, we felt very confident, and we thought we had learned enough. The most difficult challenge we faced was when our baby turned one year old, and she was struggling with naps. We heard of other babies falling asleep at night by themselves in the crib, but we thought it would be impossible to do that with our baby. One day my wife called me at work, and she was exhausted because the baby was not sleeping during the day, and that's when I decided to purchase the 5-24 month collection. We watched the videos together, took notes, and began implementing the training right away. Although the first days were very hard for my wife, we saw the progress right away. As of now, our baby takes two naps of about 1.5 hours, and she goes to bed by herself. We recommend this training to all those parents who come in contact that are struggling with naps and bedtime. We have benefited greatly.”
“I thought we were doomed and my baby would never sleep through the night. I truly felt like my baby was the only baby who would never be able to be sleep trained because she was such a terrible sleeper. Within a month of following the training, she goes down for every nap and sleeps through the night. This training truly changed my life and has drastically improved my husband and i’s mental health— and our baby is happier than ever!!”
“I was recommended this course by multiple friends and even with the Canadian exhange rate it was worth it. It prepared by baby for the nap and ABC course and gave me the confidence to stick with a plan. And go on vacation!”
