“I had read and completed a few other sleep courses for newborns and Taking Cara Babies was the only one that was calming and seemed to always come back to research and what was realistic and practical. I am a type A person and I recommend it to calm the nerves if you’re a first time Mum! I love the success checklist! My baby sleeps well at night now. I will be doing the other courses as my LO gets older. Thank you !”
“Cara is just wonderful. The First Five Months Bundle has been SO helpful in equipping us with strategies to practice laying a strong sleep foundation for our baby in a way that is gentle and no-stress. Cara is so encouraging as a fellow mama and has SO much knowledge and so many resources, tips, and suggestions for just about every situation and question I've had -- sometimes it feels like she can read my mind! I would absolutely recommend this course to any new parent!”
“I've done this course with both my kids and they are great little sleepers because of it! Both started sleeping 8-10 hours a night starting at 2 months old! This course was a lifesaver and I'll always recommend it!”
“We took this class with our first baby and had great success! He’s 2 now and an independent sleeper that thrives on his routine. We still get almost 12 hours a night. We’re going to follow the same steps with our newborn now and I recommend this class to everyone.”
“I was at a complete loss with my newborn but when I bought the First Five Months bundle I quickly got my daughter on a sleeping schedule at four weeks and have kept her on it ever since. This was the biggest help for a first time mom who was completely at a loss. Thank you so much and I highly recommend to anyone even thinking about buying!”
“The First Five Months bundle is great! It gave us peace of mind with our little one and equipped us with some great strategies for both naps and nighttime sleep. The C.R.I.E.S method is amazing! It also allowed us to start recognizing some cues. The schedule gives some structure to our day, but it isn't firm. We follow everything and look at our tracker to see if our Wyatt might be hungry, sleepy, etc. It's true we don't follow the master schedule as Cara says, but we follow the basics of feeds every 2-3 hours and offer a nap every 60-90 minutes and it has been incredible! We started doing crib naps around 6-7 weeks old and he goes down very easily. The flexibility with the schedule is great and we don't fuss about it too much. He will nap in the crib, he will nap in the stroller during our daily walk and sometimes he'll nap on mom. He will typically wake up around 3 am and then again at 6 or 7 am and start his day. Thank you very much!”
“While my baby is still having some issues sleeping, I found this bundle to be very helpful in learning some basics for sleep. All babies are different, but I feel these guidelines can apply to each baby even if you do not get the results you wanted. My baby unfortunately doesn't sleep well/will not sleep and cry if laid down so I just take what I can get from this course to lay as good of a foundation as I can
If you have questions, the ladies who answer them are very helpful and informative. My only wish is that I would've tried these things sooner, I will with my next child.”
“This class was recommended to me while I was still pregnant by a coworker who had struggled with infant sleep in the early days. When my baby was around 4 weeks I decided to give the newborn class a go, and it had an immediate positive impact on all of our sleep (including the dog!). Cara is extremely knowledgeable about the science of baby sleep, and she is able to package the information in easy to learn modules all while maintaining an air of deep compassion for the struggles that sleep deprived new parents undergo. Now my baby is an amazing sleeper getting ~10 hours a night at 3 months old, and we are diving into the 3-4 months guidelines to continue to build on our success for the changes yet to come. I know every baby is different and temperament plays a part, but I 100% believe that Cara's class is a huge reason for the success we have experienced - even just the confidence boost she has given us as new parents is worth the cost of this class! I will continue to spread the word and recommend this course to any new parents.”
