I don’t know where to start with my gratitude…
For the first 4 mo of Elle’s life, she was overtired. When I first brought Elle home, she just wanted her mommy… I struggled getting her in bassinet.. well actually, she wouldn’t sleep at all. So we decided to cosleep. She also struggled with naps, and the only way she would sleep was in a baby wrap.. nursing. There were days when she was a newborn I watched her eyes stay open as she nursed for hours just TRYING to get herself to sleep. It was painful. I thought I had tried everything. Anything that worked for even a few minutes, I did because I so desperately wanted her to rest!
By the end of 3 mo I was felt her sleep cycles were changing… she nursed every 45 minutes at night time and I carried her all day long in the baby wrap where she nursed to sleep. She would sleep MAYBE 30 minutes at a time during the day and 45 minutes at night.
When I first talked to Bee Wise… I was terrified. Terrified of getting her overtired again and lost on where to start or how to fix the habits I had created because I wanted so badly for Elle to just get some restorative rest!
Not to mention, I hated hearing Elle cry and was so scared someone was just going to tell me to leave her in her room and let her cry. I couldn’t do that. So much anxiety… clearly.
Bee Wise assured me they could help….AND THEY DID!
Our life is completely different. Elle goes to sleep independently, gets full feeds rather than snacks, has long stretches of sleep at night (5-8hr blocks), naps between 1-2 hour stretches, And is SO MUCH happier!
She is a different baby because of Bee Wise helping me- help Elle LEARN To sleep. Just like anything new, it’s challenging but it feels good to support your child through something while they learn. Bee Wise provides the space for you to do that and also provides you with a concrete plan that is easy to follow.
This is THE BEST investment we have ever made 💗 Elle and I are so fortunate to have found Bee Wise Sleep Consulting. Forever grateful for you, Bee Wise!
