Sharing a lovely message I received today 💜🤍🧚‍♀️

“Hey! I just wanted to say a big thank you! We have two completely different children personality wise. Regardless, we have followed your plan from the second week with both and both of them sleep consistently 12 hours a night and have done since around 12 weeks (I thought that it might have been luck with the first!!!). I think your method is so sensible and gentle and having the structure and routine helps everyone!! sleep is so important and thanks to you, we can all function and no matter what the day throws at us, we know what our nights look like and that we are guaranteed sleep 🙌🏽🙏🏽”

“Dear Alison, you’ve been on my mind lately. Our little H is doing so well, and she is starting school in September - hard to believe my little pandemic baby is so grown up. I don’t know how I would be managed without you, and I don’t want to think how different H’s temperament might have turned out had we not caught the root of her discomfort and pain early on. I hope messages like these will keep you going to help many more families like mine. Have a wonderful summer x”

You don’t need fancy eye creams, you need sleep! 😄

Thank you Jess for your brilliant message 🩷

“The Magic Sleep Fairy’s advice has saved my sanity, and our sleep!

After reading Alison’s book, everything clicked for us and we put it a routine into place. We made some small adjustments but it still worked amazingly well. I’ve already ordered the toddler book so we can get prepared on whats to come!!!!
The bags under my eyes are gone, and my little boy is thriving. Xx”

Battling torrential rain ☔️ we are still out and about at all the fabulous farm attractions in Devon and have truly loved connecting with the animals and nature. There are some fabulous places here and so far we’ve been to The World of CountryLife and Pennywell Farm both so we’ll set up for all-weather and all ages. Happy - but rainy holidays to you all 💜

Baby Xavier is a happy, healthy 7 month old who sleeps 12 hours a night!
Xavier has not always been such a good sleeper, says Xavier’s mummy, Claire. He was waking up to 7 times a night before she got my book!

Read Claire’s lovely words below ❤️

Hi Alison, I just want to thank you for your fantastic sleep plan. I got the audiobook on a friend’s recommendation and we began the training around the same time as each other, and within about a week, both babies were sleeping so much better, and even fully through the night! I have gained back time to spend with my toddler, my patience and my memory. You truly are a magic sleep fairy! Thank you from the bottom of my heart x

“FAIRYING”! 🧚‍♀️

In the words of Mr J Clarkson - I’ve been doing much FAIRYING of late.

My birthday is already seeming to be a distant memory, as I’ve since been so busy on home visits. I disappeared off to see an 11 month old for 4 days and then a 3 year old for 2 days - both in London. Following on with a trip to Totnes in Devon, to see a 6 month old for 3 days. After that, I went up to Leeds to see a 7 week old, and the Lake District to see an 11 week old!

All the visits have been hugely successful & wonderfully rewarding, but it’s also been a tiring time (especially with so much travel in between stays) and although I do have some wings, they sadly don’t get me airborne and I think The Magic Sleep Fairy really does need to be able to fly - anyone got a helicopter handy? 🚁

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - The Sensational Baby Sleep Plan review

“Alison’s book has been my lifeline. I cannot recommend it enough. Its practical, well thought out advice that has empowered me as a new mother. Of course, it needs to work for your family but in my personal experience, in the first weeks when days seem like a blur, having a routine was key for my mental health. I felt like I had tools.

I felt confident every time I put my baby to sleep on her cot as I knew I had a plan and tools. I never had to leave her cry and I did the whole thing while exclusively breastfeeding/bottle of expressed milk.

I cannot imagine having to do sleep training when she is 6 months, fully aware and putting her on a routine cold turkey. This routine and order is what she has known her whole life and she feels security because of it. Also, once they learn how to sleep, you can do contact naps in bed when you choose to, and they still after sleep in their cot perfectly well.

The best example I can give is what happened on Christmas eve. I told them I wanted to enjoy dinner etc and I would be there early so I could do the routine there. They were in disbelief, a 4 month baby that sleeps through the night and in a new environment? You are delusional. I was happy if she slept for a few hours to be honest. I went to my in laws house early, we did bath time there and she slept in a travel cot she had never slept in, in a new room, with her comfort blanket and she slept the whole night! 12hs!

Genuinely I cannot recommend this book enough, I have given it to all my friends. Of course, sleep is a changing thing, and things happen, they are babies not robots. But having a guide like this has made every hiccup manageable. In today’s world of information overload, were as a Mum you are judged constantly, I cannot be more grateful to Alison for making this new mum feel informed, empowered and confident.”

I received this pic and text from a beautiful ex-client (now friend) whom I worked with 14 years ago!! She was on an Emirates flight back to the UK from South Africa, and found my podcast with the fabulous , available as a recommended listen on the in-flight entertainment.

Sharing this beautiful photo and accompanying words from Otto’s mummy 🥰❤️🧚‍♀️

“Hi Alison, I hope you are well! I just wanted to tell you what a happy, content baby Otto has become 💙 People no longer say ‘oh what a serious baby he is!’ And instead, now *everyone* comments on how smiley he is - he absolutely beams at everyone!! Otto continues to sleep all the way through the night, his naps are great and we even managed to go away to Spain for a week where he slept soundly through the night in a travel cot, the same way he does back home! He is an actual dream baby - we cannot thank you enough for helping him reach this potential! # # #”

Casper’s Story 💜
Last week I visited this gorgeous little boy to help iron out why he wasn’t able to sleep easily, link nap cycles and he just couldn’t seem to feed comfortably.

He had been prescribed Aptamil LF (lactose free), but before my arrival and after a telephone consultation I had advised Mum to get some Neocate LCP.

Casper was drinking a 4 scoop Aptamil LF ratio to 2 scoop Neocate mix, but was struggling to drink more than 100ml and it easily would take over an hour to feed him.

I soon discovered that he had a degree of oral thrush (there will be a full post about thrush to follow for those interested) and this was preventing him from drinking comfortably, along with it being evident that he had a ‘tummy-ache’/digestive discomfort from the cow’s milk protein in the Aptamil LF.

I switched him straight to solely Neocate and changed up the way he was being his prescribed Omeprazole.
We needed to get the thrush treatment too, but sadly this took 48 hours to access from the GP, so I had to crack-on with implementing more positive sleep strategies even without the thrush meds and all the while, the little chap was struggling with a cold - hence his very red cheeks!

He was such a little trooper and evidently felt so much more comfortable just from the Neocate that he started to sleep more easily and by night 3 was down to a short wake up at 4:30am, but self-settled back to sleep within 20 minutes.

He’s already SO much improved and as the thrush meds kick in and the he gets better from the cold he will be even better - another Magic Sleep Fairy success - who is a now well rested, well fed, happy, content and little bubba. 👶🧚‍♀️🥰💜

✨ NEW TESTIMONIAL ✨

‘We are forever indebted to Alison for her brilliant help! At 3-4 months we had a baby whose sleep was worsening week by week, struggling with a bottle (so mum couldn’t get a break) and showing various signs of discomfort.

Alison quickly helped us understand he was suffering with reflux from a cow’s milk protein intolerance and worked with us over a course of a few weeks to make many positives changes - how we fed him, what we fed him, how we put him to sleep, medical help for anti reflux medication… upon implementing these changes we had a happy and thriving baby, with well-rested parents.

Alison’s magic has had a profoundly positive effect on our family: she is knowledgeable yet not pushy and is ALWAYS on your side with support and understanding. Thank you Magic Sleep Fairy! ❤️’

THE EARTHQUAKE- A YEAR ON.
Yesterday I took some time to reflect with huge sadness, and remember 06/02/2023 - it doesn’t feel like a whole year has passed, but the most harrowing truth of that statement is that so many people caught up in that horrendous deprem (and the ones that we might think are lucky to be alive) are continuing to suffer such awful hardships on the back of losing many family and friends.
Many are still living in tents, ‘container homes’ and suffering unimaginable conditions. It was a force of nature that occurred and is way beyond our control, but due to many ‘questionable’ building regulations, (and much more) - it became an overwhelming, human tragedy that could have been at least lessened, if the powers that be genuinely looked after their people. This is also reflective in the current truth of what was promised to those who suffered and what has been delivered or provided - and it’s not pretty 😳
I just wanted to write this and thank all of you who donated and helped me help some of those individuals & families who suffered such terrible loss.
I do still support a number of these families and always hope to do more, but at times - it feels overwhelming to me and in all honesty, I struggle to match the strength displayed by those I help. ❤️‍🩹❤️❤️‍🩹
