Welcome to the End of Exhaustion

I know how hard it is to deal with your baby's crying,  I've been there too. You probably have a lot of questions about it, like:
• Is it okay to let your baby cry it out?
• How much crying is normal?
• How long will my baby cry before he will fall asleep?
• Is it healthy for them?

I'm not a fan of the cry it out method, but I also know that at some point you will have to teach your baby how to self-soothe. When I decided to help my twins sleep better, I feared the crying too. But it wasn't as bad as I thought. And the best part was that everyone was happier and more rested after a few nights.
I get it, you hate seeing your baby cry. It hurts your heart. It doesn't matter how old they are, you just want to comfort them. But you must remember that crying is not harmful to your baby.  Babies cry for many reasons, or sometimes for no reason at all. They might just want your attention. Crying at night is not different from crying during the day, but it feels harder for us parents to handle.

Is crying a necessary step?

 Do you absolutely have to let your child cry to teach him to sleep through the night?

Probably.

I’m being honest with you. I’d love to tell you that I have discovered a way to teach infants and toddlers to sleep through the night that involves no protest on their part, but I haven’t. And despite the claims of people who will try to sell you a magic blanket or CD that’s supposed to put your child instantly to sleep, I personally don’t think that such a method exists. However, we KNOW that a little crying isn’t going to do any damage to you or your child.

The important thing to remember is that the crying doesn't always mean that something is wrong, his crying comes from a change to the old routine. Putting your baby in his cot at night awake might be a completely new experience for him. He will be confused and upset by this new change, and yes, he’ll probably cry to express his displeasure.

Finally, there's a difference between my strategies and the idea of letting a baby “cry it out.” Letting a baby “cry it out” implies that you have done nothing to prepare your child for bedtime and are just going to put him into his cot, close the bedroom door, and walk away! To me, this kind of treatment is totally unfair to your child. You need to prepare him for sleep by teaching him predictable cues that tells him bedtime is approaching, and you need to make sure he knows you are there to support him. I follow the "CAMP OUT METHOD" which means you will sit right next to your baby until he falls asleep.  For the first 9 nights of the program, he will not see you leave the room.  We want you to sit inside the room which means your baby can focus his energy on learning a skill rather than getting anxious because you keep leaving the room. My approach is a complete and balanced sleep time strategy that will probably involve some crying, but will definitely not mean abandoning your baby in his cots!

 It is truly important for you to take the time to educate yourself about how sleep works. By understanding how sleep happens, and by giving your child the tools he needs to soothe himself to sleep, you can rest assured that you are doing the right thing.

Christine is a miracle worker! After a long 7 months of sleep deprivation I knew something had to change. I was feeling very deflated after having no success after a week at sleep school but right from the start Christine assured me she could help. After the first night I saw amazing progress and we haven’t looked back since. Christine is there every step of the way to share her knowledge, answer any questions and really does her best to help you. We went from having a grumpy baby who woke 4-5 times every night, feeding to sleep
& cat napping to sleeping 12 hours overnight 2 good naps & self settling for every sleep. To say Christine has improved our families life is an understatement, we now have a happy, content & well rested little guy. Trust the process, follow what she tells you (the crying you have to listen to in the short term is worth it!) and you will get results! Thank you thank you thank you!

Being a first time mom with twins, I was so lost and overwhelmed in the early days. I was in tears and miserable most of the time, due to sleep deprivation. As I felt I was inching closer to PPD, I decided to seek help and reached out to Christine. Thanks God we found her!
With the sleep plan and a routine in place, the twins sleep better, eat better and are gaining weight by day. As for me and my partner, we finally can get some sleep and find ourselves again. Don’t underestimate the impact of prolonged sleep deprivation on your mental health.
The first few nights will be hard, and you would probably feel like calling it quits a few times (like I did), but Christine will be there to offer encouragement and guidance along the way; eventually, it’s all worth it, believe me.
I highly recommend Christine and the Happy Sleepers program for any parents, even with newborns (like my case), she can make magic happen!

I've been working as a sleep specialist since 2015.  I have a lot of knowledge and experience.  I have worked with more than 1600 babies and toddlers and because of that I have a 98% success rate and that's what you want right?  You want your baby to sleep well.  When babies sleep well, they eat well, they are content, they are eager to learn and you can actually enjoy your baby the way you want to because you are well rested too.

To have a well rested family is absolutely worth the money and all my clients told me that.

I joined the program to sleep train my baby boy at 7.5 months. We were struggling before we signed up and sleep deprivation was affecting me and my husband. There were so many get ups at night and felt like feeding was the only way to settle him back to sleep, this is what we had to change. It was the best investment we made. I learnt so much about sleep and how it all works to build the confidence to then continue on my own. Christine was amazing and so supportive. Always there to answer my thousand questions through sms or daily zoom calls. All the videos in the sleep plan helped prepare me for the sleep training and having my initial consult with Christine to ask any questions about the process helped make me feel confident about beginning the sleep training. I found it helpful having other mums/dads ask their questions in the zooms because then those things may have come up later on for us and I knew how to tackle them.  Christine provided so much great advice to help with issues(teething, illness, eating solids) that popped up along the way. My baby now settles to sleep on his own within minutes. Bedtime is not painful anymore and he goes down so easily because I now understand his awake times very well so he is tired enough. He sleeps until morning now! It was the best thing we ever did. He is happier, loving his sleep and even things like eating solids and driving in the car have improved. Thank you Christine, I am forever grateful for helping my Mete sleep well and also for making me feel like a human again.

I’ve been procrastinating about what to write in my review as I’ve struggled to come up with the words that give the credit to show how amazing Christine is! This program has literally saved my sanity! For 16 months I struggled horrendously with my fourth child who refused to sleep. He would wake multiple times per night (4-10 times) and had never ever slept through… not even once. He did not day nap, but if he did catnap randomly in the car or in the pram… it was a pure miracle! The happy sleepers program is by far the best parenting tool you could ever invest in. Super affordable and super life changing! It’s never too late to start either! Christine is really lovely and so knowledgeable. The follow up zoom meetings with her & the other parents are what make the program stand out from the rest! (And yes I’ve tried other programs, tools, techniques and even GP prescribed medication.) This is the only thing that has worked. He now sleeps through from 7pm-7am & day naps 12-2pm. Woohoo!!!!
Thank you so much Christine. A+++

I think the reason why The Happy Sleepers Program is so popular is because it's clear, simple, and easy to follow. 
I've been a professional sleep specialist for so long – I've pretty much "heard it all."  All those years of experience have allowed me to anticipate just about every question that you (as a parent) might have about sleep training. I've made sure that the answers to those questions are clearly explained for you.

If you're concerned that you've "read it all before;" and that you won't learn anything new,  my best advice to you is simply this: "Why not give it a try?" 
The program has a 100% money-back guarantee if you have given it your 100%.  You have nothing to lose :)

When we read all the reviews, the initial thought was “this is too good to be true”.
Having a baby sleep through the night within a fortnight was a miracle and that finally happened to us with step by step guidance from Christine. The FB community made us feel comfortable and supported with so many parents going through a similar journey.
We can’t thank Christine enough for helping us teach our baby to sleep on his own. This has solved so many problems for us, to name a few- improvement in reflux issues, reducing stress and anxiety for everyone in the family.
If you are second guessing on taking up this program, please do yourself a favour and sign up as soon as possible.

I cannot thank Christine from Happy Sleepers enough for guiding us and helping sleep train our daughter! We recommend her sleep program to anyone struggling with their babies sleep. I was amazed how quickly our 7 month old learnt to sleep independently and self settle on her own. Before the program we were co-sleeping, feeding to sleep, waking multiple times a night, catnapping during the day and using a dummy. Our daughter now doesn’t do any of those things and it’s because of this amazing sleep training program! Even though our daughter was teething during the program Christine always had great advice and kept us positive. Her reassuring and calm approach to sleep training had me at ease as I was super anxious about change and about sleep training. I kept thinking what if it didn’t work and what if our daughter is just a bad sleeper. Our daughter has literally grown so much and is overall so much happier and energetic now due to getting the sleep she needs! If you’re reading reviews and at your wits end with your babies sleep, please stop thinking and get in contact with Happy Sleepers!

I used to offer in-home consultations and overnights for parents who needed help with their babies and toddlers. Then Covid happened and I had to stop visiting homes. I was worried about how I would support my family and my clients. I decided to create an online program with videos, phone calls and zoom sessions. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

Parents could watch the videos at their own pace, whenever they had time. They could replay them as many times as they wanted and absorb the information better. They could ask me questions and I could direct them to the relevant videos. The results were amazing.

I have not done a single in-person consultation or overnight since Covid started and yet I have helped over 1600 babies and toddlers with a 98% success rate. And you can be one of them :)

Cannot recommend Happy Sleepers enough! We were at our wits end with our little girl who refused to nap and was awake all night!
We seen instant results with Christine’s program and would recommend to everyone struggling with their bub’s sleep!
Now when we have bad days and nights we know how to get through them and have confidence to make decisions!

It’s the best thing I could ever do for my babies, my family and myself. Christine helped us with our twins’ sleep at 6 months and within 5 days they were already sleeping through the night. It’s already been more than 2 weeks and they haven’t woken not even once during the night, they also improved their day naps. It’s like magic 😊 Itzaes simple as teaching your baby to go to sleep independently, without compromising any bonding within you two.
Mine are happy bubs and didn’t suffer in the process at all. Christine is an angel and as I heard once, she’s the Mary Poppins of the sleep. I recommend happy sleepers x 1000%
