“If you're completely unfamiliar with baby sleep and you've never read Cara's blog (or any sleep "expert") this will be probably be helpful in giving you some guidance on where to start. However, as someone who's been following Cara's Instagram and is on baby is on baby #2 this guide was not worth the price tag. There was only a few pieces of new information (Sitback and the sliding scale of intervention). Since my baby doesn't take a pacifier and already unswaddled, sitback was unhelpful and not really anything new. If you're someone who is nursing to sleep, cosleeping, or has no idea about wake windows then this guide is for you. If not, just save yourself the $40.”
“At first I was skeptical because it didn’t seem to be working, but we were consistent even when it was hard. Before we knew it she was sleeping through the night! We didn’t even have to do the official sleep training because of the techniques she learned during month four.”
“I was in complete shock when my baby was about 3 months old and was a different little guy. I had no idea I needed to be changing the way I was caring for him now that he was no longer a newborn. Learning about the wake windows, change in sleep cycles, normal developmental changes in their naps, and how I needed to start helping him to fall asleep independently was incredibly overwhelming at first. My husband and I took it one day and night at a time, for a month of sleepless nights, and it started to improve. I even opted to pay for a sleep consult phone appointment which I was so thankful for as extra support. Now I can say, he is sleeping in his crib, in his nursery (NO LONGER IN OUR ROOM!) and is falling asleep independently at night and sleeping for 10 hours straight without waking up for any night feedings. For me, I don’t have to dream feed him, it didn’t work for us. Thank you Cara and her team for being such a great resource for us!”
“So pleased I had this resource on hand to navigate the early months with my baby. He was born premature and I wasn't sure when to start most of the subtle guidance for sleep! However, this course allows parents to gently introduce interventions that my baby responded well to. He is almost four months and is sleeping 12-13 hrs every night, with no night feeds, 1-2 wakes throughout the night where he is putting himself back to sleep. The SITBACK tool was instrumental in coaching my baby to independently put himself to sleep at his bedtime! Couldn't be more pleased with the results and I know I have a great tool to rely on going forward! :)”
“I love these classes. They provide such great info but they don’t make you feel like you need to follow each instruction religiously. At exactly 3 months, my baby started sleeping through the night, 10-11 hours straight. I ditched the pacifier and rather than put him in his crib awake, I rock him to sleep. I was able to put my own spin on the class so it worked for my family and baby and still have a great sleeper. I recommend the classes to all my friends!”
“Unfortunately it just didn’t work for our baby. I’ve considered buying the 5 month sleep training course because we’re sooooo exhausted and frustrated, but that’s a lot of money for us when it might not work either.”
