“My husband and I are first time parents. We have a 7 week old who is already sleeping through the night--proof enough that Cara's resources are helpful!
First, Cara's approach is simultaneously affectionate and backed with research. In implementing her tips, I always feel like my baby is safe and loved--there are no tools in which I feel like I need to ignore my baby or stoically "make him cry it out."
Second, I love that Cara recognizes every baby is different, and no baby will perfectly adhere to any schedule. She gives you wiggle room to work with your unique baby and focus on bonding with your baby. I would recommend this to all new parents to start off their parenting journey with strength and confidence.”
“We are a little over a month into using the First Five Months. I started her program right off the bat for baby girl. I used Taking Cara Babies for our toddler at 6 months but was determined to start off with better sleep this time around. So far, baby is putting herself down easily and without much support from me for every nap (most of which are 1-2 hrs long) and is sleeping 6+ hours straight at night. I know I might have gotten lucky and just have a baby who wants to sleep, but I do credit it to this sleep program, as none of my other three children have slept like this for me! I love it - 100% would buy again!”
“We started Cara’s training when our son was two weeks old. As new parents, my husband and I were overwhelmed with information and wanted to establish habits that would set us up with success long term while also enjoying the newborn season. Cara’s training does just that! I felt so much more confident with our baby and his routine after taking this course. Her tips are easy, safe, and practice makes perfect! Our son is now 8 weeks old and sleeping consistently through the night!”
“I gave this two stars because it does have a lot of information in it. However, absolutely nothing has helped at all with our daughter. She is so difficult to put down for every single nap and bedtime. Nothing in this program has helped at all. She is now six months old and by bedtime I am so frustrated and usually in tears. I get zero time to myself because I can never get her to sleep more than 30 minutes at a time during the day. It takes me twice as long to get her down for her nap. Bedtime is an even worse nightmare with her constantly waking up or just never sleeping to begin with. We’ve been consistent with a routine and everything for months now and nothing worked at all. I was so happy to see that you could call one of their sleep coaches but after seeing I had to pay additional money when their program doesn’t work, I was so upset. I’m not paying more money when it never worked to begin with. I was so excited to find this program and so devastated with the results. I truly cannot take bedtime anymore, I feel like I’m losing my mind. I had such high hopes and think Cara did a great job with the program itself and seems like an intelligent and kind woman but it absolutely did not work for us and I am so disappointed. I just wish the additional help wasn’t another cost because that’s so not right when you’re struggling after already paying.”
Hi Gregory- I'm sad to hear that you're still struggling. At 6 months, you're correct: the strategies from this bundle no longer apply. If you'd like to learn about how you can improve sleep with your little one in this new stage, I would encourage you to email us at info@takingcarababies.com. We have a team of sleep experts who would love to help you with next steps to make sleep progress.
“I’m so thankful for this course! Our baby was a generally good sleeper but kept waking up when her paci came out. This class helped teach us teach her to fall asleep independently and stay asleep.
She is starting to roll over on her tummy and even through this new milestone our daughter is able to work through it and sleep through the night!”
