My baby was 100% dependent on me for sleep. Waking every 40-60 minutes to be nursed&rocked back to sleep. Every. Night. I dreaded nights, and I cried a lot because I was sleep deprived myself. I didn’t think there was any training that would fix this. This program worked in 3 nights - by night 3, he was put down awake, and soothed himself to sleep in 3 minutes. He slept 12 hours with no crying. Met husband and I were SHOCKED. Total life changer for me, and so so grateful. It WORKS.

We started with the newborn bundle and were so excited for our little one to reach 5 months so we could get this one. After months of colic, we were nervous, but ready for better sleep. We started with bedtime and were able to ween night feedings in 5 days. I thought there was no way our baby would go for this given he was in a regression that had him waking every 1-2 hours. I couldn’t be more grateful for the sleep this has given our entire family. I’m more well rested, making me a happier mom during the day. We just traveled a bunch for the holidays and he was able to still sleep consistently when we followed our routine in a new location. We’re now 5 days into nap training in hopes that, after holiday break, he’s able to do longer naps at day care. So far, we’ve been able to get 2 1-2 hour naps a day after mostly contact naps for the last few months. He fusses for less than the 15 minute check in, then is connecting his sleep cycles throughout. My only piece of feedback on the 5-24 month bundle is that the only way to review the material is through video. I loved the pdf instruction of the prior course. I found it easier to get through during naps and night wakings than video. I can’t thank Taking Cara Babies enough for these programs. This former-Colic mom is so grateful to have the tools needed to get good rest for all of our family. I’ve recommended this countless times to fellow moms and will continue to do so!

Really love the content and it is extremely helpful information but I HATE that not all of the information is written down. I understand that you don't want all the information in writing for people to potentially share to others but it is very frustrating to not have all the information in a convenient written format that I can flip through in the middle of the night without needing to drag out my computer and watch a video or multiple videos. Not realistic for actually being helpful as things come up. Would be much more helpful as a complete workbook with all information and supporting videos. I feel like I wasted my money on this and it's awkward to use when I need it.

Once again, Cara has given our family the incredible gift of SLEEP. While her newborn class helped our daughter, now 3.5, sleep through the night at 12 weeks, we needed something more for our son - who at 6 months old was still on a dream feed, and waking up sometimes multiple times a night needing to be held/rocked back to sleep. My husband and I both work, and could no longer sustain it. We turned to trust Cara once again, and once again she saved us. We started 2 weeks ago, and he has been putting himself to sleep each night (sometimes without ANY tears!) and settling himself in the night allowing all of us the precious sleep we need. He is still the happiest boy ever during the day, and his teachers at daycare have said his naps there have greatly improved. In Cara We Trust...

I learned a lot from the course. I enjoyed the extra content links as well. I highly recommend her blog on how to dress a baby at night! We tried the drop in method, but it was too hard to endure. At the end of the day we ended up finding a system that works for us. I am able to rock him to just barely asleep then put him down. It’s not perfect, but it works for us! I took a lot of the daytime tactics and applied those and they helped a lot. And he is now a great napper! A lot of the same principles are available free on the internet. However, I found Taking Cara Babies to be the most well organized and understandable.

Buy it! These classes helped my baby, my husband and myself so much. We were doing most everything "right" but there were a couple of adjustments made that made all the difference for our little one! I wish I would have gotten it earlier! Cara makes you feel confident you are doing what is best for your baby with her extensive research and experience!

This course was just what we needed! My son would only sleep on us and months and months of trying what felt like everything. We talked to our family doctor and she suggested Cara! And it took about two weeks but our son goes down easy now and finally sleeps through the night! And now we can sleep to ! Thank you so much Cara!!

This collection saved us! We jumped right into the Taking Cara Babies sleep training program and saw results by the second night. Our baby now sleeps 10-12 most nights. If he does wake up during the night, 9 out of 10 times he is able to put himself back to sleep without any assistance from myself or my husband. After completing the lessons, I truly felt confident that I was equipped with the right tools to help my baby learn to self-soothe and fall asleep on his own. The nap training was also such a game-changer. My son refused to nap prior to nap training and I was desperate to get him to nap for even just 20 minutes. Now, he sleeps anywhere from 1 to 1.5 hours per nap. Any questions I had could easily be answered from Cara's videos. And knowing I could schedule a phone call for additional help was very reassuring. I will forever be grateful to Cara for changing our lives!
