Charmian's Success Stories & Reviews

We had the pleasure of working with Charmian as our child’s sleep consultant, and she was excellent.

Sleep training a toddler can be a really tough experience for any parent, but Charmian was always on hand to provide guidance, support and tailored advice that we could easily put into practice.

We saw results within just five days. All I can say is: trust the process!

Thank you, Charmian, for giving us our evenings back. 😊

Charmian was an absolute game-changer for our family. We came to her exhausted, with our youngest’s sleep all over the place. She quickly identified the habits that were working against us and gave us a clear, practical plan: adjustments to the daily schedule, some changes to diet, and a simple, gentle resettling technique we could use consistently at bedtime and during night wakings.
What stood out most was how quickly it worked — within days, our daughter was not only sleeping through the night but had genuinely learned to self-settle, which has been transformative for the whole household. Charmian was supportive, responsive, and clearly knows this subject inside out.
If you’re a sleeping-deprived parent wondering whether to take the plunge, do it. Highly, highly recommended.

We recently completed Charmian's 5-day course to help with our 6 month old's sleeping and feeding. We really pushed ourselves to try and follow every single piece of guidance (important!) given. We had immediate results on night one - not perfect but certainly better. Every night since then he's slept better and self soothed faster, and the last 3 nights (now +9 days since starting), we've not needed to go into his room at all. Long may this extra sleep were all getting continue! Thank you Charmian!

We are so fortunate to have used Charmian Meads sleeping baby routine to help both our children be able to sleep through the night. All we can say is how grateful we are and we couldn’t recommend her more!

With our first child, we used Charmians book and by 10 weeks old our daughter was sleeping through the night! Her detailed explanations regarding feeding, digestion, naps and active awake periods really made sense in practice and we were able to apply all this information to our situation successfully. The tables of routine times were really useful to help us establish our own and allow for the flexibility we wanted.

Come second time round, our son was 16 weeks old and still waking 3-4 times in the night. We had gotten into the bad habit of snack feeding every two hours, feeding to sleep and for comfort and bad napping during the day. The exhaustion was so much that we just couldn’t get back on track on our own.

We signed up for the 2 week program with Charmian, and it was the best decision we made! The 2 weeks allowed enough time for thorough investigation, change making and implementation along with tweaks.

In this time, with Charmians help, we established a routine with set feeding and nap times, introduced weaning and cut the bad habit of feeding to sleep and for comfort. From the first day we already saw improvements, and gradually by day 8 our son slept through the night for the first time!!

Working with Charmian was such a pleasure! Given the fact that this program was online should be more credit to her and her work. Her attention to detail really shows her experience and genuine love for her job and wanting to help families. For example, she would request videos of meal times and asked to see the consistency of the food as well as the amounts per spoon.

We ended the 2 weeks with a feeling of gratitude, relief, happiness and so much less sleep deprived than when going in!!
Thank you so very much Charmian for bringing our family back on track!

I cannot thank Charmian enough, she has helped me with both my children in so many ways. My 2.5 year old slept through the night thanks to using her incredible book but then suddenly started waking in the night after years of sleeping through and within 2 days was back to it thanks to Charmian’s tweaks and tips to her day. Then the 5 day support for my 6.5 month old son was so helpful as I needed the extra help each day to tweak things to stop his night feeds and drop the dummy and it worked again within 2 days. She is so kind, attentive, incredibly understanding and supportive and so easy to chat too, her knowledge and experience is brilliant. I would highly highly recommend using her services

Charmian is truly one of a kind. She has guided us through routines, feeding etc for all 3 of our children, most recently our baby born in February 2026. She is extremely knowledgeable and experienced. Not only did she discover our 3rd baby had a tongue tie, she supported us every step of the way; from specialist recommendations to getting us an appointment asap to recovery post procedure. She truly cares.
Her routines are gentle but effective, focusing on feeding. She really understands babies; she tailors her approach to the individual baby and does not encourage or suggest any cruel methods. We have never felt her advice made our children unsafe.
Thanks to following her techniques and advice, we have avoided regressions and our babies have thrived.
We have recommended her to so many friends and family, even going as far as gifting her services to close friends because we truly believe in what she does.
She has honestly changed our lives as parents for the better. Our children are great sleepers and we love that she offers different levels of support, be it the newborn stage, weaning, toddler etc to help whatever issues you may face. So far we have found each level of support beyond useful!

We booked Charmian following a recommendation from my sister who had incredible success using her to establish a sleeping routine for her twin girls at 3 months. We had previously been struggling with multiple night wakings and short distracted breastfeeds in the day. Following our call with Charmian we were introduced to a weaning plan for our 4 month old and nap and settling routine to help us get longer stretches of sleep at night. After day 3 our 4 month old slept through the night from 7pm to 6am and didn’t require any settling or feeds which we were astonished at! Charmian was responsive, supportive and all importantly helped us get a plan in place to get our baby to sleep through the night! We couldn’t recommend her enough. Thank you!

Charmian was quite frankly the best thing my husband and I have spent money on since having our twins. We enlisted her services (5 day support) for our 3 month old twins and it was an absolute gamechanger.
We had a call with her at 4pm and implemented changes that evening and on that very night went from our previous 3 feeds a night to 1 feed. By the end of the 5 days our twins were sleeping 7pm - 7am through the night.
Previously my twins had been crying all the time, were sleepy during the day yet never settling for naps and using dummies most the day and night - to the point that if the dummy fell out we'd be running to pop it back in which at night time was a real issue as they wouldn't sleep without it. We were also on the verge of splitting them up into seperate rooms to see if it would help things. By the end of our time with Charmian my babies have never smiled so much, cried so little, slept so well together and the dummies which we were really concerned about have all but disappeared. Charmian also diagnosed a tongue tie in both my girls which lactation consultants, health visitors, infant feeding teams, midwives and doctors had all missed and since having it fixed our feeds have been so much better.
Charmian has not only supported us with implementing a routine but has indirectly helped my relationship with my babies and I feel the happiest I have been since my babies were born. I have already recommended her to anyone I know with babies / due to give birth - my sister booked her immediately after me and also had success with her 4 month old. I will definitely enlist Charmians guidance again if I hit any future hurdles with my twins. If you are struggling with routines / sleep / feeding do not hesitate to book her!

We originally contacted Charmian as our 3week old baby girl was struggling with feeds with excessive crying and lack of weight gain. The classic advice from of ‘feeding on demand’ was not working at all. Charmian first worked with us for a week, focussing on baby’s digestion and the dynamics of breastfeeding between myself and baby (not just supply but timing of milk production and flow speeds). We saw results within two days on weight gain with a much happier baby who feeds well and slept through the night by week four as a happy outcome.

We have called on her again a few months later to help us as feeding patterns evolve and again she spotted the new issues very quickly and gave us the tools to rectify.

We’re really grateful to Charmian - her methods worked really well for us, we have a very happy and well-fed baby, and we as new parents have a lot more knowledge and confidence with our newborn.

One million out of ten. We booked Charmian's sleep package when we were getting close to breaking point with our daughter's sleep. We had done a decent amount of reading and thought we were following the consensus on how to achieve good sleep (putting down fully awake etc) but couldn't seem to move past 2/3 hourly wake-ups overnight which seemed to be getting worse. Within less than 24 hours Charmian had our daughter sleeping 9-10 hour stretches overnight, with her doing full 12 hour nights without intervention by the end of the week. We couldn't believe it and couldn't be more grateful. Worth every penny!

Working with Charmian on both sleep and weaning made a huge difference for us. She was incredibly caring, attentive, and supportive throughout, and her advice was always practical and tailored to my baby. Her help with self-settling was especially impressive. Within 24 hours of following her approach, we saw a big improvement, and for the first time my baby was able to do an uninterrupted two-hour afternoon nap in the crib and fall asleep independently without any support. It honestly felt like magic.

Charmian also guided us through starting weaning at four and a half months to support sleep. The beginning was challenging, but her support and attention to the small details made all the difference. She helped us make small changes that I would not have known to make on my own, and after just a few days my baby was eating really well. I would highly recommend Charmian to any parent looking for thoughtful, hands-on support with both sleep and weaning.

I had the pleasure of working with Charmian Mead for my third baby, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. We completed two remote consultations followed by an in-home stay, and the impact was truly transformative for both my baby and our family. At the end of week one of the remote consultation we had already cut one nightwaking!

Charmian took a very thoughtful and practical approach, with a strong focus on creating a seamless transition into life with three children. My baby was extremely hungry, unsettled, and never wanted to be put down, which was understandably challenging. Charmian not only helped establish a structured and sustainable routine, but also supported me in boosting my milk supply, which made a significant difference.

By the end of our time together, my baby had transformed into a happy, content little boy who could engage in self-play and feed efficiently. Her emphasis on a consistent daytime routine was key in improving sleep sowe quickly moved to solid nights, with just one early morning wake around 5am that gradually shifted later over time.

What truly sets Charmian apart is her depth of knowledge, her calm and nurturing approach with babies, and her unwavering support for mothers during the postpartum period. She is incredibly kind, reassuring, and empowering, and I felt completely supported throughout the process.

I am so grateful for her guidance and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for expert, compassionate support.

Charmian comes highly recommended, and for good reason. Her insights into our daughter’s sleep have revolutionized both our daytime and nighttime routines. During the consultation, Charmian looked at the ‘whole picture’—including diet and daily habits—to identify the root cause of our challenges. Within just a week, we saw incredible improvements. We now have clarity and structure where there was once only ambiguity. Thank you, Charmian!

Working with Charmian has been one of the best decisions we’ve made as parents. When we reached out, we were exhausted, unsure, and stuck in a cycle of broken nights and stressful mealtimes.

Within 5 days, with her calm guidance and clear structure, Louis went from multiple night bottles to sleeping through, something I genuinely didn’t think would happen. But the biggest change has been in his relationship with food. Louis now eats! Watching him become a confident, happy little eater has been amazing.

Charmian didn’t just help Louis, she helped me. My mental health improved, I’m finally sleeping again, and we’re all getting the rest we’ve been missing.

We now have a joyful, well-rested, food-loving little boy, and I am endlessly grateful. I couldn’t recommend Charmian more highly to any parent who needs support, reassurance and someone truly knowledgeable!

We recently worked with Charmian when our 5-month-old was struggling to self-settle, waking every 1–2 hours overnight, and only contact napping. From our very first conversation, Charmian was incredibly understanding and reassuring. She truly listened, took the time to understand my concerns, and helped us troubleshoot each challenge with patience and care.

Drawing on her wealth of experience, Charmian created a plan that felt completely tailored to our baby’s changing needs and our family’s routine. Her confident, knowledgeable guidance has completely transformed our little one’s sleep — our baby now sleeps 11 hours at night and naps independently!

Charmian also supported us as we began weaning, making what could have been an overwhelming stage feel simple and achievable, even while tackling sleep at the same time. She guided us through every stumbling block with wisdom and a deep understanding of different babies’ needs.

We’re so grateful for her support and can’t recommend Charmian highly enough. She’s made such a positive difference to our baby’s sleep and to our whole family’s wellbeing.

Working with Charmian has been absolutely transformational for our family. Our 5-month-old daughter had never slept through the night, and within just two days she was sleeping soundly, taking a solid afternoon nap, and self-settling for every sleep. We introduced solids while keeping her fully on breastmilk — something I didn’t even think was possible.

I’m now back sharing a room with my husband and dog and finally getting full nights of rest again. The change has been incredible — not just for our baby, but for me personally. I feel human again! My mental health, energy, and enjoyment of motherhood have all completely changed. I’m more present, calm, and able to truly enjoy my little one.

Charmian’s daily calls were invaluable — she patiently answered all my many questions and guided me through every step tweaking as we went on. She’s warm, incredibly knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping families succeed.

I hesitated to spend the money at first since I’d already read her book and thought I was doing everything right. Working with her one-on-one made all the difference everything was tailored to our family and our little one. The results speak for themselves, and I would recommend her to any exhausted parent in a heartbeat. If you’re on the fence — do it.

Charmian was a game-changer for our twin girls' sleep routine. She helped transition us from a 3-hour feeding schedule to a balanced routine of feeding, sleep, and play — and now the girls are sleeping through the night! It felt like an intense baby bootcamp at times, but I learned so much about feeding, digestion, safe sleep, and calming techniques. Thank you, Charmian, for your guidance, support, and expertise! We are so grateful!

We got Charmian’s help twice with our daughter. Once when she was 5 months old and once when she was almost one.

Both times Charmian had her sleeping through the night within 24 hours vs 1-2 wake ups and feeds.

She’s also managed to get her doing a solid lunchtime nap- something our dautgwhee has previously struggled with.

Her approach is firm but kind and produces results. If you’re willing to follow direction and personalised patterns you’ll get great results. It’s hard for the first day or so, but the results and sleep make it so worthwhile.

We would absolutely recommend her services and suggest anyone that does so just trusts everything Charmian says. It works and quickly!

We had such a great experience. Charmian’s method is rigorous but effective. We booked in for the 5 day sleep consultation but in reality we covered so much more. We saw results within the first day. She is very knowledgable, supportive and tailored every recommendation to us and our daughter. Although it was hard work for the week, we felt like charmian really had our backs throughout: guided us through the hard bits and celebrated the many wins with us. Couldn’t recommend her highly enough!

We’ve worked with Charmian twice now for both of our babies using a variety of her services.

The first time around, our baby wasn’t sleeping and had been diagnosed with reflux. After struggling for a few weeks, we decided to book her when our baby was around 6-8 weeks old. During the 5-day remote support, she took the time to look at how I was feeding and helped me adjust my feeding technique. The detail she went into was amazing. The back-and-forth communication, along with her advice and tips, kept us on track. Within just a couple of days, we saw big improvements. Charmian was so caring and provided so much help during those early days. From there, we worked with her on weaning plans and any other issues that came up. Her advice always worked. Thanks to her, we had a baby who slept well, was in a great routine, and we finally had our lives back.

We got so much more than just sleep help, she really helped us understand what was going on and gave us confidence as first time parents.

With our second baby, I knew I wanted to breastfeed and wanted help from the start, so we booked Charmian well in advance. This time, we had two home visits, and they were incredibly helpful. Our baby has been so content and settled following her plan.

Charmian is not only super knowledgeable, she’s also just such a warm, lovely person. Her support has made such a difference to our family, and we’re really grateful. Thank you so much!

Charmian has a wealth of knowledge and was incredible from day one of our 5-day consultation. She quickly talked me through a routine and put my concerns at ease, even though my baby was born prematurely. Her recommendations—including age-appropriate toys, teat sizes, feeding volumes, and burping techniques—were absolutely spot on.

Her experience allows her to see things through a completely different lens, and she was able to troubleshoot with ease. Thanks to her guidance, my baby now sleeps through the night with just one feed.

I would highly recommend both Charmian and her book to anyone looking to bring structure and a sense of control to life with a newborn. I still refer back to her book from time to time and always manage to find new pearls of wisdom.

We could not have had a better experience. Charmian was incredible! She listened to us and gave very specific feeback which allowed us to implement the new routine that very same day. And we were beyond impressed! No crying, no tantrums, our toddler was able to put herself to sleep in under 10 minutes from the first day. We're so grateful!

We had this book / routine recommended to us from family, and they'd had so much success we started our baby on it the minute my milk came in. It was certainly a lot of effort up front to get the routine going, but it was absolutely worth it. Our baby had great sleep habits from the get-go, and instead of wading through the newborn stage in a zombie-like, sleep-deprived state, we actually got to enjoy a lot of it. Would happily recommend this routine to anyone - it really does work, and we now have an almost 6 month old who still sleeps well (although fingers crossed for teething!).

We booked a home visit with Charmian after countless sleepless nights, having issues with feeding, winding and settling. After a comprehensive breakdown of her routine and a step by step tailored plan of what we needed to do, we can successfully say we have got our night's to ourselves again to sleep and recover. Chamian's advice was simple but effective and we are thankful we received her guidance - highly recommend! Thank you

Charmian has been a total lifesaver! Our baby wasn’t sleeping through the night, couldn’t self-settle, and we were also dealing with feeding issues (bottle aversion / taking hours to feed) and low milk supply. Thanks to her amazing support, our baby now sleeps like a dream, self-settles, feeds easily and is happier than ever. She also gave us the tools to troubleshoot issues as and when they crop up. We’re so so grateful and couldn’t recommend her more highly.

We have had Charmian consult with us for both our children in addition to many of our friends. The routine has been invaluable in getting our babies to sleep through the night and generally be happier babies.

Charmian came for in house support in addition to remote help ahead of the visit. Charmian is a wealth of knowledge and was able to advise on digestion, milk production, routine, burping and more. We always recommend Charmian to any friends having children.

I used Charmian’s book and routine for our first daughter who was sleeping through the night from around 5 months old, she was underweight and it took a bit longer than expected, but she has since been an excellent sleeper, and we owe it all to Charmian’s guidance and routine. So much so that we were adamant on following it for our second daughter, and like magic she was sleeping through the night from 6 weeks old. It’s so simple and makes so much sense and my husband and I can actually have our evenings together and get enough rest to give our girls the energy they deserve from us in the daytime. Thank you so much!

We had in person support for 2 weeks, as well as 1 week remote support via phone calls and whatsapp messaging.

Charmian manages to balance being hands-on and giving lots of advice, without being overbearing. The advice was invaluable, and we learnt lots of tips and tricks to keep our baby well fed and well slept, and to support mum in building her milk production. We are using the routine now, and when we deviate (which inevitably happens) you can see the difference immediately. Fortunately, the routine is easy to restore, and easy to follow - it also gives new parents time to rest and get their strength back too.

We were a little apprehensive about having a 'stranger' in the house at this precious time with our little one, but Charmian is a great house guest, is super supportive, and requires very little from you, but gives you a ton of support.

Overall highly recommended!

I was recommended Charmian by a friend as my 3 month old would wake multiple times in the night and would fight all naps in the day and I got into abit of depression from the sleep deprivation. I had been in contact with other sleep experts but nothing worked for my daughter so I was really apprehensive when I got in contact with Charmian but in all honesty I wished I knew about her sooner she completely changed our lives! We had been through a lot with my daughter since birth as she was 95% tongue tie, so struggled to get her to feed more than 2oz, even after her tongue division and were just not helped enough with feeding, but after 24 hours from starting our journey with Charmian our daughter was going down for naps without being rocked for half an hour or longer and was taking 6oz at every feed! The turn around in such a short time was amazing and the support with got with our daughters feeding and sleep was amazing. My daughter is now sleeping through the night, going down for naps not crying and feeding 8oz every feed which I never thought would happen. The results have really shocked me and my husband and would couldn’t be more grateful. I would honestly recommend Charmian to anyone and her knowledge is amazing!

Charmian was recommended to us through good friends, she had looked after two of their children and left them with happy, healthy, sleeping babies. We were so pleased when Charmian agreed to come “in house” with us for our third baby. Charmian is calm and kind, and clearly has an immense knowledge of babies and especially how their digestion works. We felt confident with the routine that Charmian implemented and supported completely throughout the time Charmian was with us. She left us at nine weeks with a happy, healthy baby who sleeps through the night!

I have had the pleasure of working with Charmian on two separate occasions. The first time was when my son was three months old and I was desperately trying to get him to sleep through the night as he was occasionally still waking between 3-4am. We were also going through the effects of a tongue tie release and a bottle aversion at the time so there was a lot going on. Charmian helped me establish a routine and gave me tips on the best positions for bottle feeding. Having her track us both for a week was a game changer. I felt completely at ease and within a couple of days our routine was established and no one early morning wake ups. Charmian has been paramount to my son fully sleeping through the night ever since!
I then worked with Charmian again when we started weaning. The bottle aversion had improved but it was not great and so Charmian suggested moving onto purées to help take some pressure off the milk. She tracked us for a week and again each tip and piece of advice made such a difference. It is all about finding the right balance and without Charmian it would have taken me so much longer to figure it out.
Now I love our meal times together and am confident they will go from strength to strength. I am so grateful.
If you are struggling or feel stuck I couldn’t recommend Charmian more highly. She is wonderful and incredibly good at what she does. Trust her, it will make a huge difference.

We had a baby who was difficult to get to nap and put to bed in evening; he now self settles for both naps and in the evening and that has been a huge help. Our lives/stress levels are much better for it!. Was tough at first but we stuck to the routine and it worked! Thanks!

Thank you Charmian for all your help getting our little one into a great routine from so early on. I used her book with my first baby , but second time around I wanted to have 1-1 support and a home visit . It was the vets decision I made! I didn’t think sleep would be possible from such a young age - I was exhausted and stressed but Charmian made me feel reassured and has so much experience which made me feel at ease and I soon realized things didn’t need to be so hard! We’ve stuck to the routine from 7 weeks old and I’m so glad we did! If we run into any hiccups further down the line , I won’t hesitate to reach out to Charmian again for help. Thank you, thank you!

A week ago my 5 month old was waking 4 times a night and napping for only 40minutes. I was exhausted and my stress levels through the roof from the anxiety surrounding naps and trying to find a good routine. I had read countless books on baby sleep and routine but nothing was working. Having read Charmian’s book I decided to seek her guidance and booked the 5 day programme. By Tuesday my baby only woke once in the night. By Thursday he didn’t wake at all. By Friday he was napping for two hours straight at lunchtime. Talk about transformation. I know it won’t be all plain sailing and the hard work still needs to continue to embed the routine, but having Charmian’s support over the last week has meant that I now have the skills and knowledge to take it from here. It was an incredibly tough week getting the baby into the new routine so do expect that and do expect some tears. I found Charmian to be incredibly supportive and knowledgeable and whilst I was very sceptical I can’t fault the advice. It really was well worth the money and my only regret is not doing it sooner.

Charmian was wonderful and helped us achieve great results by looking at our baby’s diet and sleep pattern to help her sleep through the night within a couple of days. She was originally waking up several times through the night and now rarely does, if she does she self settles without us needing to get up. Charmian was very supportive and always on hand throughout the 5 day package.

I honestly cannot recommend Charmian’s sleep consultation services enough! This experience has truly been life-changing and has been the best investment we’ve made for ourselves and our baby.
Before reaching out to Charmian, my 7-month-old was sleeping in my bed, waking every hour to feed. During the day, he would only nap for a maximum of 40 minutes, which meant I also spent about 40 minutes rocking him to sleep each time. I was completely exhausted and stressed.
Initially, I was skeptical about whether we could actually achieve a full night of sleep, but after just one week of consulting with Charmian, my baby started sleeping through the night in his cot, allowing me to simply put him down awake!
Although his nighttime sleep improved, his daytime naps were still on the shorter side. After discussing this with Charmian, we decided to continue for another week to help get everything on track. By the end of that week, he was taking his longer nap, about 1.5 hours.
It has now been two weeks since we completed the consultation, and I’m thrilled to share that he continues to sleep through the night, with daytime naps perfectly aligned with what they should be. Thank you, Charmian!

Charmian is great, very worth the time and money and gives wonderful tips and advise to help you and your baby, not just with sleep, but also digestion and routine, being understandable to fit around your own routine, extra siblings and circumstances. I couldn't recommend her more 🙂

We are hugely grateful to Charmian. Our toddler son was stuck in a cycle of night waking and early wakes, and unable to self settle. On the five day toddler course Charmian looked holistically at our routine - both food and sleep - and our son’s sleep has been transformed in a short space of time. Charmian’s direct, clear and accessible advice was just what we needed. Her techniques are also compassionate which was important to us. We highly recommend her!

A virtual package with Charmian is honestly the best thing you could spend any money on when you have a new baby. We have used her with both of our children and have had unbelievable results. Our son was sleeping through the night at 8 weeks and has absolutely loved his bed ever since… it’s a safe and comforting space for him. Charmian’s routine is based on digestion rather than sleep… sleep is just the by product! So there are no tears for anyone. Our daughter is just 3 weeks old and waking once in the night. Charmian has saved us and is worth every penny and more. Thank you so much.

After six months of little to no sleep, we sought the help of Charmian, and believe me, it was the best investment we made for us as sleep-deprived parents and our little girl. We booked the 5 day package, and the results were almost instantaneous; we (finally!) have evenings back and no longer feel the constant dread of going to bed knowing we'll be up several times in the night. Thank you Charmian!

We had Charmian come to stay with us for 3 weeks and worked with her remotely in between stays. I can honestly say it’s the best thing we chose to do. We initially booked Charmian at 20 weeks pregnant, anxious at the prospect of sleepless nights. From the get go Charmian enabled us to have a structured routine that set us up so well. Whilst we initially wanted to work with Charmian to master our sons sleeping her overall advice when she came to stay with us proved completely invaluable as first time parents. Her wealth of knowledge on all things babies is truly so comforting in those early days- she offered so much reassurance on things far beyond just sleep! We’d work with chairman again in a heartbeat for our next baby.

5 days under the guidance of Charmian has been completely transformational for our 4.5 month old baby and I feel like we’ve had a MUCH needed crash course in baby sleep and feeding! Charmian had instant impact with him going from 4/5 wake ups a night on average, to 24 hours after our first session, only waking once. It turns out that so many of his signals we were misunderstanding and as a first time parent who is very much learning on the job, it’s hard to recognise these and to know what you should be doing. It was amazing to see such small simple changes, such as tweaking my feeding position, have immediate results. After 3 days and starting him on his weaning journey, he slept through-something we thought would be impossible a week before. My biggest regret is waiting until things became unbearable with the lack of sleep to seek help- we would 100% recommend Charmian to every new parent!

This is our third baby that we have used Charmian for and I can’t thank her enough. We come back to Charmian again and again because I swear she has magical powers. Not only can she find all your babies quirks feeding and sleeping, she then comes up with a plan of action and it works to perfection.
Charmian feels like our families comfort blanket - someone we turn to advice for over and over. I couldn’t recommend her enough and my babies are happy, healthy sleepers! Thank you Charmian!

I was initially against sleep training, but working with Charmian has hugely improve my mental health and overall wellbeing. Our 18-month-old son went from co-sleeping and waking every 40 minutes, never having slept in his cot, to sleeping in his own bedroom for at least 8 hours straight. Charmian's approach was not only effective but also compassionate. The 5-day follow-up programme was invaluable, allowing us to troubleshoot issues in real-time.
The programme is strict but highly effective, ensuring our son felt reassured and was never left to cry alone for more than 7 minutes. After just a week and a half, our son began going to bed happily and sleeping through the night. He’s eating and sleeping better, and I’m convinced he’s even grown a few millimeters in just a week!
Charmian's support has been transformative for our family, and I highly recommend her services to any parent struggling with sleep issues.

Charmian was incredibly helpful throughout the week we worked together - she was able to spot immediate areas for us to rebalance our days with our 5 month old, which had a really positive impact on his nighttime sleeping. The daily check ins made it easy to ask questions as they came up. We’d highly recommend working with Charmian!

Charmian is amazing! I booked the 5 day package for my 7 month old who I was co-sleeping with and was waking up every 1.5 - 2 hours at night. By day 1 he slept through the night from 7pm to 7am. I was shocked and so so pleased. We had great results and are now in a consistent routine that works. She understands the way babies work and her expertise is second to none. It is incredible how quickly we saw results and how much she has changed me and my husbands lives!

I had Charmian’s help on the recommendation of two of my friends who she had helped get their babies onto the 7-7pm routine.I cannot recommend her help enough! She gave me confidence in the day time in how I was breastfeeding and helped increase my supply. She gave me lots of advice on baby digestion, winding, what to do during wake window and how to put my baby to sleep. By the end of her time with us our baby was sleeping through the night and was content and happy following the routine during the day. Also, the routine is reassuringly flexible once I had confidence in how it worked, meaning I was able to organise plans by adjusting it slightly. Would recommend for any new mums!

Charmian helped us with both our 6 month old and 3 year old in the same week. We hadn’t had a full night sleep in what seemed forever and just couldn’t work out what we needed to change to help both children sleep through the night. We didn’t have much hope for our 3 year old given she had never learned to self-settle and thought it would take a while for our 6 month old to learn to sleep through the night given his multiple wake ups and reliance on a feed to fall asleep again. Honestly, we saw incredible results after just 1 day with Charmian. She offered brilliant advice and knew exactly what we needed to change in our daily routine, the way we approached bedtime etc. to get the results we needed. By the end of the consultation, our 3 year old had learnt to fall sleep by herself, sleep through the night and stay in her room until the time we wanted her to wake up. Our 6 month old had learnt how to sleep by himself and sleep through the night.
We are so glad we booked her and have already recommended her to everyone that we think will benefit! Sleep makes all the difference and we are so happy that both children are now getting good quality sleep, as are we!
Thank you again!

Thank you again!

We have recently had our second child and adapting to life with two kids. We thought we were busy with one child, but it turns out we had no idea what we were in for! Trying to balance the needs of our
Newborn with the needs of our toddler was proving challenging. Charmian had provided us with sleep advice for our first, so we sought her out for a second time.
Charmian’s knowledge and instinct for a child’s needs are phenomenal. She’s able to offer an expert third party view, removed from the emotion, to give you expert advice as you need it. She has a proven methodology that she is able to match to each child, as proven by the success she has had with ours.
At eigh weeks, she is self-settling and just about sleeping through the night. She has taken the stress out of having a newborn, so we can concentrate on the joy. Can’t recommend her enough.

It has been over a week now and it’s going great! It’s actually taking me a bit of getting used to! I am finding it weird that I’m not spending an hour or so rocking my 1 year old to sleep etc. Life is so much easier and he is so much happier than before we even started the routine. Thank you SO much for giving us our happiness back. We cannot tell you what it means to us all as a family. our other children are getting the attention they have been craving too which impacts their well being positively. She is an expert and even with a major hiccup in the process (nut allergy) we still managed to get him sleeping through the night. Only advice would be - ensure you try new foods on the lip before giving to baby and observe for any reaction.

We used Charmian for our first baby about 3 years ago and she has grown into such a happy child as a direct result of the routine, guidance and direct help from Charmian. It is hard work no doubt but is also the single best thing we ever did for our first child - it lead to her sleeping well, eating well and then being awake and alert and engaged and happy (she slept through from about 8 weeks). So we booked Charmian about 15 mins after finding out we were expecting again and she was even better with a slightly trickier child. (First Slept through about 9 weeks). She is a wealth of knowledge, help and positive vibes just when you need them all. We were recommended by friends and we have since already recommended successfully.

I contacted Charmian after feeling quite upset that my newborn was unable to sleep during the day and personally quite exhausted as she was looking to eat every 50 minutes meaning she was constantly in my arms. We opted for the 5 day consultation package and after just the first session we saw results. Charmian has an amazing style - a combination of soft but firm. She understands the fragile and emotional rollercoaster parenthood can be (especially the early weeks) and comes with not only practical advice but also a kind and uplifting nature for the moments you need it most. Highly recommend! Mary Murphy (Milan)

I was definitely skeptical after the first consultation as it was a significant change in routine and sleeping pattern for my child but was surprised to see that I already saw results that first night and every night since then has been better.. the daily calls were so helpful as something new always came up as we were navigating through these changes and Charmain was there guiding us through the week! Would fully recommend!

I followed the Sleeping Baby routine very successfully for my eldest and planned to use it again for my second baby. When I found that it wasn’t clicking like last time, I spent a week working with Charmian to fine tune every aspect of our routine. She identified a feeding issue that was making things difficult for my baby, and has given me invaluable skills and a lot more confidence. This support turned around my baby’s behaviour within a couple of days. So glad I invested in this extra help!

We’ve just finished working with Charmaine for our second daughter. I thought I had it all locked down having done it before but the second one felt different. After months of little sleep and feeling awful we decided to get some help. Having read 7pm-7am with our first and followed it religiously we decided Charmaine was the best person for the job.
I honestly wish we’d done it sooner. I was nervous to sign up thinking I’d failed if I’m honest because I hadn’t given my second the time I had my first but having voiced that, Charmaine reminded me every child is different and I was in the right place. She wasn’t wrong. By the end of our week Myla was in a consistent routine, sleeping 7-7 and so much happier - and so were we!
Do not delay, it’s good to ask for help and Charmaine is fantastic, so knowledgeable and has changed our lives to be honest! The best money we’ve spent

We have an almost 3 year old and a 3 month old. We’ve used Charmian’s book / routine with both our girls (and had a call with her for a bit of extra help) and my sisters have used it with their children. She is honestly an absolute expert! Our children have all slept through the night uninterrupted since they were very little. What I love about this routine is that contrary to popular belief it is absolutely NOT about letting a baby cry. It’s about creating a healthy relationship with sleep, through efficient digestion and self-soothing so it becomes something your child recognises as necessary and enjoys. The restorative sleep they get at night and during the lunchtime nap is absolutely critical to their physical and mental development and wellbeing. Our 3 year old asks to go to sleep if she feels tired and we put both our girls into bed awake and they quietly soothe themselves off to sleep. It’s tough in the beginning maintaining long enough awake windows, but it’s absolutely worth it if you (like I) need your sleep in order to be fully engaged and alert during the day. Fully recommend giving it a go! Thank you Charmian!

If I'd known about Charmian when I had my eldest 6 years ago I'd probably look about 10 years younger! She has completely transformed the sleep of my baby son, age 4.5 months, and I am SO grateful! She is so knowledgeable, very detail oriented and really cares about getting the best results. She really is a miracle worker and I would recommend her wholeheartedly!

This our second time working with Charmain as we are now on baby number 2. We chose the 5 day package which allowed Charmain to investigate issues before helping us to implement a solid feeding and sleeping routine that was right for us. Our 4 month baby woke up every hour each night, cat napped randomly throughout the day and needed a lot of help settling to sleep which is incredibly stressful especially with a toddler. After the first day we had results. And within a week she had 3 predicted naps, a good feeding routine, was able to settle herself to sleep and up for 1, sometimes 2 night feeds. If Charmain decides to retire I won’t be having any more babies! It can be overwhelming and frustrating receiving lots of conflicting advice on how to help your baby, Charmain’s knowledge and experience has helped us to understand our baby’s needs and made us feel much more settled and confident. We couldn't recommend her enough! Thank you x

I can't recommend Charmian enough. After one consultation my 14 month old went from waking for 2-3 hours most nights to sleeping from 7pm to 6.30am every night. Not only that but he self settles within minutes every night. Charmain instinctively knew where changes had to be made and I will be forever thankful.... she is amazing xxxx

I cannot recommend Charmian enough, if your baby or toddler is not sleeping through the night, do not hesitate to do something about it and book the 5 day package. Honestly speaking, it is easily the best investment you will make for yourself and your little one. I worked remotely with Charmian and from day 1 she completely changed what my 9 month old baby was doing and sent me a plan to implement and follow. Parents, I won’t the lie the first night isn’t easy but stay strong and stick to her plan - it really does work! Within 24 hours my baby slept the whole night (I am still in shock that it worked so quickly). There will be times during/after implementing the plan when the baby will cry but you just stick to the plan she has set out for your baby and it will work every time. There are not enough words to thank Charmian, it was a real pleasure working with her - she really knows what to do in any scenario! Thank you so much - Firoza

Charmain has literally changed our lives.

Only a week ago, my four months old was waking up every hour at night and I would always have to breastfeed to sleep. During the day, if I did not want to nurse her to sleep, I would have to walk around the room with her and rock her to sleep.

We purchased the five day package and we were already amazed with the results after only the first phone call but they just kept getting better as each day passed. In less than 5 days my baby went from being rocked or nursed to sleep, to sleeping on her own, and from waking up hourly to sleeping through the night 11 or 12 hours straight.

I am so grateful for the help and support we received. It’s been life changing. I think what sets Charmain apart from other is the fact that she takes a holistic approach - it’s not about sleep training, but about looking at the daily routine and then making changes that will then inevitably result in a better night sleep. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Thanks to Charmian our baby went from waking every hour for 6 weeks to sleeping for 7 hours in the space of three days. Her support and knowledge totally changed his sleep habits and established a daily routine which is easy to follow and works. The difference to us as parents and to our baby have been huge. I would definitely recommend contacting Charmian if you need support with a baby who struggles with sleep, I only wish we'd contacted her earlier!

Best money I’ve spent in a long time.
Changed my way of thinking and helped me get my child in to a routine without making drastic changes. And I didnt even wait long to see results! Best investment in my opinion and we’ll definitely use this method on my next baby.

Charmian's book is simply written, logical and resonates so instinctively with parents. I consider it a "must-have". And her consultations are spot-on. We've consulted with her for both children and never quite understood how she can assess the issues so quickly and problem solve in a way that shows results literally overnight! She is methodical and empathetic - an essential combination when dealing with new parents. We are very grateful!

Charmian has been highly recommended to us so we did not hesitate to book a consultation and a week-long package with her. Charmian's approach, customer service, and results have exceeded all our expectations. We have instantly implemented all Charmian's recommendations and saw fantastic results from day one of the package. Not only has Chairman helped us to get our baby to sleep through the night from the first day of our 5-day package, but she also helped us to fix our baby's eating habits and daily naps. Our baby is much happier now and we continue to see the success of Charmian's work every day. The sleep training was a 100% success and we cannot recommend Charmian highly enough!

Thank you so much Charmian for all your help. Our 8 month old who had been a fab sleeper was waking up 7/8 times a night and would sometimes take a whole hour to resettle, we were both a mess. Your incredibly helpful tips and guidance on how we could alter our feedings and bedtime routine have been a life saver. Your experience and logical tips gave me the confidence to make the changes, and they have worked perfectly. Wish we had spoken sooner!

I was recommended Charmian's book by a friend who had amazing success with Charmian's routine for both her children, after she visited me when I was near rock bottom, completely sleep deprived and crying my eyes out not knowing how to stop my baby from crying after we'd both been awake for 12 hours on 3 hours sleep!
After reading the book and trying the routine out myself, I decided to book the week long consultation in order to ask questions about the routine and to have Charmian provide me with an approach tailored to mine and my baby's specific needs.
It was very intense but everything I learned has stayed with me - 7 months later - which shows you how adaptable the routine is, given how much babies change!
Charmian's attention to every single detail of my daily diary meant that every day, we were able to work together to troubleshoot and get to the root of the problem, which in my case, was milk supply. Within just three days, my milk supply had increased, my baby was sleeping better for her daytime naps (which was one of the main issues) and I finally understood how my milk supply worked, which meant that I could leave the consultation at the end of the week confident that I could put Charmian's approach into practice myself.
Thank you Charmian, for your dedicated one on one support and advice that will always stay with me.

I don’t need to go into how much I was struggling when I booked my appointment with Charmian because if you’re reading this then you know exactly how I felt.

For our first telephone conversation, I was stood in someone’s doorway sobbing my eyes out because I had forgotten the time of our call as I was so frazzled after a broken night, a 3:30am start and a baby who was such hard work. After two children, I hadn’t slept a full night in 3.5 years.

Anything you read about self care and to lift your mood, always talks about the importance of sleep. How sleep impacts everything, your mental and physical health, your digestion. The advice is always, get more sleep. And I would feel so angry, how can I get more sleep with two young children??

Call Charmian, that’s how! And I so wish I had done it sooner.

In one week I’ve gone from having a baby who in the night woke every 1-2 hours, sometimes for hour long periods, cat napped during the day, was irritable and cried loads, would start the day between 3:30 and 4:30am, would have a dummy and white noise, would bed share …
I feel exhausted just remembering it.

He now sleeps 10 hours solid (we’re working on the golden 12!), doesn’t cry when I put him in his bed (awake!), has a 2 hour nap in the day, sleeps in his own bed, doesn’t have a dummy or white noise and most importantly he is so happy and calm. I am not exhausted and frustrated anymore and I’m really enjoying him and also my time without him.

The method Charmian uses feels right. It’s a combination of day and night. The importance of day sleep and food impacts the night. Her method has made by baby feel satisfied.

If you’d pay for a good nights sleep in a hotel for a weekend then don’t, spend it on a week consultation with Charmian instead. Gift this to a new mum. Or someone with a toddler. Gift it to yourself. It will be the best money you have ever spent. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead and I’ll be quick to book a telephone appointment where needed.

But for now, I can finally share the bed with my husband again. Except, maybe I’ll have it all to myself just that little bit longer…

Charmian managed to get our 5 month old baby boy, who had been waking every 45/60mins at night and hardly napping in the day, to sleep solidly within 24 hours by remote consultation. She is a miracle worker.
Before Charmian, we had a routine but our boy just wanted to be held all the time while asleep (both day and night) and he's a very strong willed, stubborn boy with a loud passionate cry so we were all feeling exhausted and at a loss as to what to do. I was about to reluctantly accept this but Charmian came to the rescue. I called Charmian (who was my maternity nurse for my first born 5 years ago) in a desperate state and, by meticulously implementing her instructions, our boy started to sleep properly instantly. We are just finishing a 5 day remote consultation and now he is able to self settle and sleep solidly through the night 7am to 7pm and is a much happier boy. We still can't believe it. It has been an incredible return on investment and I highly recommend Charmian's routine if you're having any sleep problems with your kids. She is so knowledgeable, trustworthy, and simply the best.
Thank you Charm - as ever!

If you’re thinking about buying Charmian’s book then do it. Yes some might say it’s hard work which it is but it’s worth it. Who wouldn’t be prepared to put in some hard work to have babies that sleep for 12hr!

We first followed the book for our now 22month old. We were following the routine but having some weight gain issues and everything that the health visitor and midwives told me wasn’t working. I did a one hour consultation call with Charmian and it changed our lives!! With her advice and some tweaks within 48hr our little girl was sleeping through the night and more importantly within a week she was gaining weight! I would 100% using her consultations alongside the book for troubleshooting any issues you might have (all babies are different!). By the time she was 8 weeks old she was happy, alert and having 3 naps a day then sleeping 7:45pm - 6:15am. She’s now 6:45-7:30am, A dream!! I actually felt bad telling people this when they asked “is your baby sleeping ok”? I was breastfeeding and she gave me some great advice on expressing - I can only think that those who have said she gives bad breastfeeding advice haven’t actually read her advice and have “skim” read the book. You have to give it 100%. I’ve since recommended the book to friends and it’s worked for all of those who have followed it properly - they can’t believe how much of a life they are able to have as well as a newborn!

More recently I’ve had twins (15weeks) and at week 4-6 charmian came to stay with us to help get them into a good routine. I wondered if it would be awkward having someone stay in our house with newborns but it wasn’t at all. Yes, it was hard work but she was so friendly and supportive and the week that she was leaving they both slept through the night!!! Success! I can’t tell you how amazing it is having 3 under 2 all in a fantastic routine - it’s allowed us to continue running our own businesses as well as caring for healthy, happy babies. I can’t thank her enough.

I can not thank you enough for all your support over the two week consultation. Your knowledge and advice completely changed our lives! We went from a baby who woke up constantly at night for feeds and who I had to hold/rock/bounce in the day to sleep, to now a baby who self settles and sleeps through the night and is content. Thank you for all your help!

Everyone needs a Charmian in their lives if they want a sleeping baby 🙂 We started the remote package with Charmian at week 7 and by week 9 our baby was sleeping through the night! She has such a lovely holistic approach to supporting new mums that are breastfeeding, really emphasising the importance of food and sleep for the mum at this crucial time. Before consulting with charmian I was triple feeding and this was taking its toll on us as a family. Charmian quickly came in and restored some normality and routine into our day - our baby was now so so content! Getting plenty of rest and play. We can’t thank her enough - she is so good at what she does!! Thanks again Charmian

I had Charmian recommended to me by my cousin whom had a success story with her newborn 9months prior. I booked her early on in my pregnancy for a month of remote 5 day consultations from 2weeks with a week break in the middle to practice the routine. Charmian was a huge help for first time parents. I had milk supply issues due to tongue tie and a big baby with a fast metabolism (9lb 3oz) whom I was constantly chasing his appetite. Charmian helped me dramatically increase my supply so I could primarily breastfeed my baby, which I am confident that without her help I would not have been able to do. She is brilliant at working with your feeding preference whilst using the routine to give you a semblance of your old life back early on. Where my fellow NCT mums were struggling with serious sleep deprivation, my husband and I were getting great nights of sleep. The routine also promotes healthy gut and sleep patterns which I believe will set my son up with the foundations to develop positive relationships with food and sleep throughout life. I couldn’t recommend Charmian highly enough.

Definitely recommend for personalised baby routines and for a peaceful sleeping night for both baby and you. We asked Charmian to help us over the 5 days and she was available throughout the day on whatsapp, constant voice messages and videos. I would ask countless questions and she was always there to respond. Everything made sense. What I like about the sleepbabyroutine approach is that it makes absolute sense, to structure your day around feeding, winding and awake time when combined together promotes a peaceful sleep. Charmian was able to help me check my son was feeding enough, winding enough and being stimulated enough. I would send Charmian a diary everyday of my son's routine and we would book time slots the following day to discuss this, the previous night and what adaptations we could make to make the next day better. By the end of the 5 days mu 5 week old son was waking only once in the night. Fast forward to 9 weeks of age my son with the personalised plan and slowly increasing his milk intake my son has started to sleep throughout the night. Success! Thank you for all your hardwork!

Fast forward to 9 weeks of age my son with the personalised plan and slowly increasing his milk intake my son has started to sleep throughout the night. Success! Thank you for all your hardwork!

Definitely recommend for personalised baby routines and for a peaceful sleeping night for both baby and you. We asked Charmian to help us over the 5 days and she was available throughout the day on whatsapp, constant voice messages and videos. I would ask countless questions and she was always there to respond. Everything made sense. What I like about the sleepbabyroutine approach is that it makes absolute sense, to structure your day around feeding, winding and awake time when combined together promotes a peaceful sleep. Charmian was able to help me check my son was feeding enough, winding enough and being stimulated enough.

Charmian has been our sleep and routine guru since our little girl was 12 weeks old (now 2 years old). Every time we have had an issue Charmian has been able to pin point the cause and advise a solution. Recently a 1 hour session on the phone went from our 2 year old whirlwind taking 40 minutes of screaming to go to bed, to falling asleep happily on her own in her cot. Thank you again Charmian!

Charmian helped my family from 5 weeks, our baby Artemis was 2 weeks early due to growth restrictions and was ravenous from birth. Her support before she came to stay with us was brilliant and she picked up on a tongue tie at 4 weeks. Artemis would feed for an hour on the breast and always need a top up, but with Charmian’s experienced eye she helped us help Artemis. Charmian’s gentle, loving and holistic approach to help Artemis flourish was a breath of fresh air. As first time parents both my husband and I learnt so much from Charmian. More than anything we had a very happy baby. Within the first week Artemis dropped one of her two night time wake ups, and was able to settle herself to sleep with a few minor tweaks. Artemis is strong willed- and Charmian made constant small adjustments to our routine to ensure she ate well, played well and had a good nights sleep. Artemis went from sleeping for no longer than 3 hours, to 9/10 hour stretches. Sleep aside, Charmian fit into our family home like a dream, she helped my milk supply increase by allowing me the time to focus on pumping and eating well. Her knowledge is untoward but more importantly her ability to know exactly what Artemis wanted and needed was heart warming. Her presence was calming and supportive, she teaches you alot- so be switched on, write things down and know everything she teaches makes for a happy baby and happy home.

I really enjoyed reading this book during my pregnancy, as  I felt more prepared for baby to come.
So many things to learn that I didn't know about and that make you understand more about baby sleep and digestion.
I have been following the routine since baby was 1 week old, she is now 5 weeks and I find it really helpful having an established daytime routine.
She won't sleep through the night yet, but day time feeding and nap time are really by the clock for us - this is great for planning your day.
I always keep the book close as it's useful to go back to it, especially troubleshooting section.
I will definitely keep following the routine and hope baby will sleep more at night very soon. 
Definitely a must ready book for all parents.

Thank you so much for helping us out!!!
Before the 5 day consultation Etta was waking throughout the night. She was finding it so hard to settle.
Etta is now only waking twice in the night and is getting closer and closer to only one night wake up. Charmian also helped me increase my milk supply and provided us with so much valuable knowledge.
I’m leaving the week with a baby who is now over her birth weight, sleeping so much better and I also feel so much more confident. Thank you once again x

Charmian came to stay with us when our newborn was 2 and 3 weeks old. We saw a dramatic change from the very first day she arrived. She gave us the confidence and tools to help implement a brilliant routine that worked for all of us. Our baby went from being unsettled between feeds and on going down for his naps to being so happy and alert during awake time and self settling himself to sleep. The very first night Charmian stayed he went from waking twice in the night to just once! We followed Charmian’s advice after she left and continued with follow up calls and he has just slept through the night, the day he turned 4 weeks! I could hang out with Charmian all day every day, she is such a lovely person to have around during these precious times and also provides brilliant advice on self care, lactation and personally for me, milk supply issues. Thank you Charmian, we couldn’t have done this first month without you! X

I’m a first time mum to a beautiful 5 week old little girl. I recently purchased this book and it has been truly amazing! It has honestly changed everything for us. We’ve gone from ‘reflux’ (I was feeding her constantly the poor girl 🙈) and only sleeping for about 1-2 hours a few times a night to a much happier baby who feeds and sleeps so much better. 
It has taught me so much about her digestive system, breastfeeding and her need for stimulation in the waking hours. 
It has turned this tired desperate new mum into a much more confident new parent! I’m enjoying motherhood so much more now that we have some routine and quality sleep! 
The biggest gift for me is the understanding it’s given me. I can now use this knowledge to help me and my baby, and not just blindly follow a strict plan. I would recommend this book to any new parent. 
THANK YOU!! Nell X

This is one very long overdue review but we would honestly give Charmaine a 5 star rating! 

We reached out to her whilst being pregnant with our first child and she recommended her book which all I can say is a simple easy read but very Informative : it was genuinely a step by step guide and answered so many questions which really did help to ease any anxiety we had as first time parents. 

She came and stayed with us when our baby girl was 4 weeks old - she helped 
with discovering my own Personal milk flow and supply which is just so important. Before her valuable advice and input we were struggling managing her wind, reflux and awake time but by the end of the 3 days we had a baby who was well
Settled and only waking up once at night! Following her guidance by 6-8 weeks our baby was sleeping through the night and had a structured routine through the day- something I could have only dreamt would happen! My partner and I are both doctors and I can whole heartedly say that I had full trust in her advice. 

If you are looking for non judgemental friendly advice that works give her a call. She has made our lives as new parents much easier! We are most certainly going to be taking further advice from her for
Other important milestones such a weaning g. 

Charmian has been instrumental in helping us getting our lives back! Her gentle but no nonsense approach ensured we had results from the very first night of implementing her advice/routine. So much so, my skeptical husband became the routine timekeeper! I cannot stress how much of a difference her advice/routine has made to our lives. We no longer live in fear of our son’s bedtime. I highly recommend the 5 day consultation, she made herself available 24/7 and no question was out of bounds. Since then we have been back for weaning advice and once again she was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I can’t stop recommending her to friends and family, her consultation is definitely one of, if not the most useful services I’ve experienced in motherhood so far.

As a first time mum, Charmian's book and 1-2-1 consultations helped my son sleep through the night from 8 weeks and for me to continue to exclusively breastfeed throughout my journey. Without Charmian's advice & routine I'm sure I would of stopped BF'ing, as she helped amp up my supply and also understand my personal milk let-down. As he has grown, she has helped implement a weaning routine and he continues to thrive as a happy, healthy bub. Charmian's cool and confident nature really helped reassure me, putting in simple tweaks and changes which were manageable but made a HUGE difference to our sleep. I truly wonder where we would be without Charmian's advice and I recommend her book to all my expecting friends - it is worth its weight in gold ✨✨✨✨✨

We worked with Charmian over a five week period. Following Charmian's routine has meant our son has been no fuss, no cry and a great sleeper since day one. His eyes light up when we swaddle him for bed! I can count the amount of unsettled naps he has had (he is 8 weeks old today) on one hand.

Her knowledge of babies, their sleep and digestion is amazing! But her advice doesn't stop there, we learnt so much from her about play, the ultimate swaddle, stimulation & awake time, bedding for different weather, nappy rash, weaning, baby temperament - the list goes on.

I started with a copy of Charmian's book, implementing her routine from Day 2 (the day we got home from the hospital). He's been a great sleeper since we started.

When he was three weeks old we started 5 day remote coaching, during this time Charmian was able to review my diary and tweak to get Jude down to waking once a night. 

Charmian came to us for three weeks after that and by 6 weeks our son slept through the night for the first time (albeit waking early). He has continued to make progress since, she helped us to navigate his appetite and a growth spurt and make sure that didn't impact the routine moving forwards.

I could not recommend her enough, if you are willing to put in the effort to implement the Sleeping Baby Routine (it does take dedication!) it will almost certainly pay off.

I've been following Charmian's advice from her book shortly after my daughter was born and after 10 weeks we were still not sleeping through the night (or not doing longer stretches) and our day naps have been extremely unsettled which caused a knock-on effect on the rest of our days, evenings and nights. Charmian was quick to understand and pinpoint our issues and give us lots of recommendations (similar to what's written in the book but more tailored to the situation). We've been following it for only two days and our day naps are already much more settled and today for the first time in 2 months my daughter fell asleep at 8pm! (9-11pm used to be our standard before)! The routine is a lot of work esp if you are EBF but results in a happier, more relaxed baby and ultimately more free time and better sleep for the mum! Highly recommend!

This was the second time I sought help from Charmian having had difficulties with breastfeeding due to tongue tie with my first born. This time round I booked Charmian months in advance to ensure that I optimised my milk supply what ever scenarios I faced. The newborn stage was again difficult for me as my second baby also had tongue tie and was leaving me with bleeding cracked nipples. She guided me through a really difficult time. Charmian was able to come and stay with us , she continued to help me increase my milk supply with triple feeding to a point where my baby gained weight and reduced the formula feeds drastically. She implemented an amazing routine which meant that I was able to find time to spend with my energetic toddler and all with only one wake up at night for a short breast feed. My baby has been happy and thriving throughout as a result. Charmian was a delight to have around during those first few weeks. She is really caring and both my little ones loved her. She definitely has an affinity for children. 

At 3 months old, our fraternal twins are now sleeping from 7.30pm to 7am!
Charmain has guided us, patiently, to find the suitable routine for Athena & Oliver. When she suggested we clear our agenda for that week I can now better appreciate why. It takes a lot to put in place the routine yet it is SO worth it.
Can’t only recommend to have Charmain show you the way to your night of sleeps!

After spending week agonising over a fussy, needy and angry baby I decided to book a telephone call with Charmian. It was the best decision I’ve made to date! 
She explained exactly what was going on with my little one and why the sudden mood changes. She helped to figure out a weaning plan and also gave me some great advice regarding nap timings and routine. Within a week my baby was back to her playful, smiley self and I couldn’t be happier. I will definitely be recommending her and her book to any expecting parents.

I came to Charmian to help my 2 month sleep through and get into a more stable routine. She quickly corrected all the mistakes I was making and gave me all the knowledge and support to get my baby into a new and more settled routine. Charmian was efficient, supportive and so incredibly attentive!  She exceeded my expectations from a sleep consultant and I would honestly recommend every mother to hire her! Thank you so much Charmian, for making me feel sane again!!

I don’t think I can thank Charmian enough for what she has helped us achieve in such a small period of time.

I had a virtual consultation with Charmian, and I can honestly say it’s the best thing I’ve done.  It was with my second child and whilst I had every intention of setting good habits from the beginning, for many reasons it just didn’t happen.

From my first conversation with Charmian she gave me the confidence to start making a few changes that made the world of difference and pretty much from the beginning!  My baby went from only sleeping on me to self settling for all three naps in her crib.  I was in shock! 

Charmian also helped me to identify what I needed to do to help increase my milk supply (which I hadn’t realised was so low).  Charmian is extremely knowledgable and helped me really understand what I need to do to satisfy my baby - I have worked with various sleep consultants in the passed but I now truly understand the benefit of working with someone who helps you with your entire routine - not just sleep! I also found the troubleshooting super useful, Charmian always took the the time to explain why she would recommend a certain approach but also provided me with options.

Thank you so much Charmian!

Charmian has been life changing! We’ve been struggling to get our little boy Henry into a routine. We’d read books and taken advice, making ad hoc changes in the hope we’d get him to settle, but never managing to get him into a reliable routine. He would wake up in the night, which would make him understandably difficult during the day and it just spiralled from there. It was upsetting for us seeing him tired and upset and this just compounded it; as we became stressed, this was reflected in his behaviour. 
A friend recommended Charmian and said she had made all the difference. They had her stay over in the first couple of weeks of their little boy and hadn’t looked back. Henry was a little older, 18 weeks, but thought we’d give her a try and so glad we did. We had her at the end of a phone for five days to steer us on how to get a routine for Henry. 
Charmian had us pull together a diary to advise us on what sort of changes we might need to make. She quickly came back to us with lots of little recommendations and we implemented them straight away. Knowing Henry wouldn’t take to it initially, Charmian was always at the end of a phone to advise and reassure us of what we were doing.
Not only was Charmian on hand when we needed her, she was equally forthcoming in asking us how we were getting on and offering advice on little change to make. 
Right now Henry is sleeping through the night and is settled during the day. Sincerely recommend Charmian to any parent.

I approached Charmian when my son was initially 4 months old and started to follow the 7am to 7pm routine. I was able to follow it well but as time went on, I fell into the habit of feeding him to sleep. I felt deflated and wanted him to be able to self settle again so approached Charmian when he was 7 months old. Her advice and guidance was invaluable. It wasn't an easy process but within 4 days of following her advice and routine my son was able to self settle both during his day and night sleep which was lifechanging for me as I also have a 3 year old. Charmian was extremely professional and supportive and I felt at ease asking her questions. I would highly recommend Charmian's book and her consultancy services.

For four months, I had tried everything. I tried every piece of advice I got. In the many hours laying next to my daughter (who didn't sleep unless being held or unless she coslept) I read an incredible amount of baby sleep books. Nothing worked. Then a friend recommended Charmian. After all my own attempts I was sceptical, plus I thought I had failed if I couldn't fix these problems myself. Pure exhaustion made me give in and step over my pride. I can't be thankful enough that I did.  Although Charmian was amazing, I felt a bit overwhelmed the first 2 days (most likely because of my scepticism and exhaustion)
 but as if like magic the third day showed massive improvements. My daughter took the bottle and slept on her own! The next day she fell asleep on her own! The day after that? I put my baby in her bed, I walked off, poured myself a glass of wine and had a hot bath while watching my daughter sleep peacefully on the (video)baby monitor. If you are unsure whether to hire a sleepcoach.. Just do it and make sure to get Charmian. I finally have my life back and feel in control. 

We relied on Charmian's book as well as approached her for a 5-day remote consultation. The results were immediate and palpable! We particularly like her holistic approach - a baby that eats well, sleeps well, and is happy! The number of hours our baby slept went up from Day 1 itself. Also, we're PARTICULARLY grateful for Charmian detecting a tongue tie over just a short video - something noone else had spotted despite countless visits to the paediatrician, midwife, etc. She was also very approachable post-consultation to sort out any follow-up niggles. Many thanks!

Charmian helped us from 5 weeks - our baby was 2 weeks early due to needing a c section, she was already booked so unable to start earlier, but even helped me interview a stand-in maternity nurse who would work before she arrived, and checked in with her and me throughout to help us start her routine.  After 11 days our daughter was waking just once in the night and going to sleep happily in her moses basket having been put down awake.  Charmian started at 5 weeks and by 6 and a half weeks she slept through the night for the first time.  She had a few nights still waking up once a night after that, but now at 9 weeks she is sleeping reliably through the night.  

Aside from the sleeping, Charmian is enthusiastic and really caring in all aspects of the baby - she suggested some great toys for her, and made her awake times very fun.  She clearly loves children (of all ages, as was great with our older children too) and is an easy person to have around. 

While this was our third child, each baby is different, and we were still able to learn a lot from charmian being around each day.  Her focus on digestion, happy awake time and positive sleep association is intuitive and a really gentle way to get your baby into a routine - there is a lot of information And feedback for mothers to take in initially especially if breastfeeding (she is very knowledgable on this front and has many many great tips for establishing and improving milk supply) so be prepared to absorb a lot of information and not take it as criticism - her method gets brilliant results and makes for very happy babies!  

Charmian came to us and implemented the sleeping baby routine very shortly after the birth of our third child and I can honestly say she made the experience of welcoming a new addition truly wonderful and a smooth transition for the whole family. My little boy has slept solidly though the night (7-7) since he was 8 days old, he is now 10 weeks old and we haven’t looked back! Charmian’s depth of knowledge when it comes to newborns is unbelievable and I have learnt so much. This is especially impressive considering this was my 3rd child and I thought I knew it all! I had used other well known routines with my first 2 however Charmian’s routine has ensured our baby has been a predictable happy, sleeping little boy from day 1. The routine is also flexible so I was able to adapt it to fit around my girls which was important to us. I will certainly be buying Charmian’s book for all of my pregnant friends and family from now on, it should be an essential on everyone’s new baby lists.

Charmian came and looked after both our boys and has been nothing short of brilliant. My eldest son had a number of feeding difficulties including tongue tie and silent reflux. Within 24 hours of arriving Charmian had sorted out his routine and quickly got him sleeping through the night. We never looked back. Charmian also came and helped with our youngest and from the start (initially over the phone and then through a four week stint with us) got him into a solid routine. He has been sleeping through the night solidly since he was 5 weeks old and is a very happy, relaxed baby. We cannot recommend her more highly to any family.
