Heidi came to our rescue helping getting our 1 year old to sleep, after a bereavement in the family meant his sleeping arrangements went out of the window. She worked swiftly and diligently, with care and compassion to support us in helping our little one sleep. He now settles himself to sleep within 5 minutes and we have to wake him up to go to nursery! Couldn’t recommend her and her team more!

We did the Dream Sleep Package with Heidi and within a week or two, I couldn’t believe that my 5 month old was able to self soothe to sleep without me having to rock or feed her to sleep! Honestly life changing and so reassuring to know I’m getting trusted expert advice. Heidi is super knowledgeable and was able to spot that my baby was having feeding issues that was initially affecting her sleep. Once we were able to get to the root of the problem and dealt with it, we were able to put a gentle sleep routine in place for my baby. This was the second time we came to Heidi as she also helped us with our first child and now we have two great little sleepers <3 thank you PP team!

Heidi really supported me the best she could with not quite a straight forward case. The fact that she came to meet me and my child, really gave me reassurance and proved that sleep is not a one size fits all approach. She picked up things that others had missed and guided us through trying to get to the bottom of our sleep issues after multiple failed sleep training attempts. Her knowledge and patience was much valued and although I am still not getting the sleep I hoped for at this stage or any really, I know some of it is not down to us!

I have had an amazing experience with PP. I’ve done both their baby and toddler sleep courses and had amazing results. My baby sleeps 11-12 hours at night mostly. If I’ve had questions or needed to make tweaks, Heidi and her team have been on hand to help. The support is invaluable. Thank you thank you thank you!

My baby is settling himself to sleep and having long naps!!!! Whoooop!
Had a 1 to 1 call with Melanie last week, it felt so positive, collaborative and informative.
First day of implementing the cuddle and calm approach baby boy has his first long nap in months.
By the following day he’s settling himself for every nap (and at night) and due to this had 3 x 1.5hr naps in one day.
I don’t know what to do with my time now.
Thank you thank you thank you Melanie.
Anyone debating booking in…. Do it! I am in heaven. (And my back is recovering already from all the rocking I was doing previously)
I did sleep training with my 1st child but I’ve definitely found Melanies approach much easier for me and also gentler on baby 😊

I can't thank you enough for saving our family - and that really isn't an exaggeration. We were really struggling with our son's sleep and nothing seemed to be working. He was constantly waking in the night, which was affecting our toddler too. To say we were exhausted was an understatement. I've followed Heidi for a while (which is why we had such a good sleeper with our first baby!) so I reached out because I knew there must be something else going on.
They were great - they listened to my concerns, took a detailed history and we very quickly came up with a plan that I felt comfortable with. I knew it wasn't going to be a quick fix but I trusted the process and I am delighted to say, life feels so much better now. We changed my son's milk, we made tweaks and he is now a much happier, SLEEPING baby!
THANK YOU to Heidi and the team, I am beyond grateful, our family is beyond grateful.

We recently bought the toddler sleep course to help with our daughter's sleep which having been vey consistent became very inconsistent and she was night waking lots and didn't like it when we left her bedroom at night time. Having watched and listened to the toddler sleep course and implementing the advice given she is now sleeping through again and goes to sleep very happily! This course has made such a difference to us and having two other children to put down at bedtime it has made the bedtime routine throughout the whole home so much more calm and peaceful. I couldn't recommend highly enough! THANK YOU!

Leaving a review here as my google review was deleted by PP which is really quite shocking (and explains why they only have 5 star reviews).

PP’s approach simply did not work for us and we now feel even more hopeless about our son’s sleep than we did before.

The information we received from Becky was generic. We followed the advice consistently nonetheless and the cuddle and calm approach just did not work. We relayed this back and were asked if we’d try a method that involved leaving our baby to cry. We went to PP because their ethos appeared to be that there is a huge amount that can be done in between simply doing nothing and cry it out. I was really disappointed with this suggestion and just felt fobbed off.

We also followed PP’s advice to try an exclusion diet, give probiotics (which kickstarted an awful bout of diarrhoea) and go to an osteopath. Nothing helped and in fact made the situation worse.

I simply would not recommend and I’m concerned that they are deleting honest and negative reviews in order to mislead potential clients.

In May last year we had our first baby, who had reflux. Every GP we spoke to said it goes away on its own and not to worry but something didn’t feel right. Our baby was doing short naps and short stints overnight. She was getting so tired and we were very tired parents and wanted help. My friend recommend having a call with Josie and it was the best thing we did. Josie is incredibly knowledgeable about Reflux and unlike other sleep consultants we spoke to, she helped us get to the route issue of our babies gut challenges vs just forcing a routine as a solution to fix sleep. Within days of speaking to Josie, we saw a massive difference in our babies sleep and comfort levels. Josie then helped us with a sleep routine, getting our baby to self settle in a way that worked for us. I spoke to Josie again when we started weaning and again, within days of implementing Josie’s suggestion, our baby moved from doing 30 minutes naps to 1hr 30!! I am so grateful for Josie’s support, advice and knowledge. Not only did she help us get some sleep but more importantly she made our baby happy and comfortable!

In a style and environment that is reassuring and free of any pressure or judgement, Heidi guided me through issues relating to my baby's gut and self-settling which led to my baby's naps lengthening from 30 mins to 2+ hours and helped get our nights back too. I had seen another sleep consultant previously and left feeling judged and stressed, but after chats with Heidi I always felt supported, positive and armed with the knowledge I needed to make changes. Highly recommend Heidi and PP.

We'd had a loooong journey of reflux with a very complicated baby and every GP, HV, etc. visit left us with more questions than answers. I'd worked with Heidi in the past and recently heard wonderful things about Josie. So at 3am on another long night, I booked a call with Josie. That was the best 3am decision I made for our family. Josie did several things: 1) Guided us on our food journey 2) Referred us to good healthcare professionals who WERE able to help 3) Gave me the confidence and reassurance to do what I needed to do to get everyone more sleep in this house 4) Was invested/involved in our success as a family - daily updates, reassurances, etc.

We are out of the woods but I know that if ever I find myself on a slippery slope again, I will reach out to Josie for sure.

I purchased the sleep courses when I needed help with my daughters sleep, I found it all so useful and my daughter has always napped well during the day and sleeps through the night. If things do go off track I refer back to the useful written guidance and tweak the routine! The course gave me a clear structure and reassurance when I needed it. I plan to use the new platform now that my daughter is nearly 12 months old and I recommend Heidi and her team to all my friends with young children. Also the podcast helped me to be confident in getting the right support when my daughter developed reflux at 4 weeks old. I cannot thank Heidi and the team enough!

We’ve done both the baby and toddler course from the previous brand (parent and baby coach) for our first child, and recently completely the baby course and reflux course for our second through the new brand, Positively Parenthood. The courses have been so helpful and we have two great sleepers thanks to you! They are easy to follow. We particularly found the routines helpful, and the demonstration of different settling methods. I also love all the content on Instagram. Thank you Positively Parenthood!

After struggling with my second baby, I purchased the newborn baby course. The information available is invaluable and installed confidence in what we were doing. After a few hiccups I got in contact with Becky. After a long telephone consultation a plan was in place for my baby. I cannot tell you how life changing this was for him...Becky gave me the push I needed to trust my gut and after a delayed diagnosis my baby was quickly on the way to being comfortable with his sleep.
I cannot tell you how kind and empathetic the team is at positively parenthood. The support you receive is second to none and I always recommend them to any parent. I am so happy to be a part of their community,😊

I highly recommend the Parent and Baby Coach reflux and colic course. It is very informative, taking you through all the possible symptoms and ways to deal with reflux and colic so I could help my baby with their tummy troubles. The course is taught in a lovely way, Heidi is really engaging so the videos and text are easy to watch and read.

We had a 1:1 with Heidi after 5 months of poor sleep that was breaking us. Our 9-month-old was waking every two hours overnight. He had a background of feeding difficulties and silent reflux, so we were anxious about how sleep coaching would fit in with managing this. In fact, we were anxious about sleep coaching in general.

Heidi listened, was empathetic, and came up with a plan that would be sensitive to the needs of our family and also get us all more sleep! She took a holistic approach to our son, his health and his sleep, in order to gain and understanding of why he might be waking so frequently (in our case, digestion played a big role). Our son can now sleep through the night and our naps have also hugely improved!
We had a few sleep hiccups towards the end of our 10 day support package, but Heidi made sure that we had done everything we could to try and resolve these and didn’t leave us unsupported until we had. We are especially grateful for this! After months of feeling like zombies we finally feel human!

The online course is also excellent and we often refer back to it now that our son is getting older.

After following Heidi on Instagram for years using her incredible tips, listening to her fantastic podcast, going on webinars and buying her sleep courses for our toddler, I knew she was the only lady to hold our hand through another tough newborn phase with baby number 2. Our poor refluxy baby was so uncomfortable, gassy and unsettled during the evenings and we were spending every night pacing the floors and taking it in shifts to try and feed, wind and get her comfortable for bed time. It.took.is.hours. We were exhausted. But most of all it was really upsetting to see her so uncomfortable.

So we set up a newborn sleep support call, made the changes suggested by Heidi (which included discussion and advice on tongue tie / breastfeeding and latch / combi feeding / which formula to try for her silent reflux (which worked a treat) / what to do to improve sleep) and here we are enjoying our evenings bonding with our new baby and enjoying cuddles rather than feeling upset and helpless. She’s also now so comfortable she’s started sleeping much longer stints at night time and we feel more rested and better able to enjoy our family time. We also have more energy for our toddler.

Heidi has literally made parenthood SO much easier to navigate, way more enjoyable than it would have otherwise been with all the reflux and sleep worries (and a massive shout out for helping navigate lockdown home naps and then back to pram / car naps when lockdown was lifted). We appreciate all the amazing content and advice on Instagram and learning from what you do with your own children, we could not be more grateful.

When I stumbled across Heidi/The Parent and Baby Coach, I was completely broken. I was sleeping 2 hours a day if I was lucky and spending the majority of my waking hours bouncing, patting, walking, and weeping. My little baby wouldn't sleep more than 30 minutes at a time (even at 6 months old) and could only be settled (if we were lucky) by squat bouncing. He would cry constantly and even the age old trick of going for car rides didn't work (if anything being in his carseat was worse!). He had this weird congested breathing and was projectile vomiting after every meal. But his pediatrician (and the two others we visited) didn't seem concerned because he was gaining weight really well. As a matter of fact he was eating constantly and was in the >90th percentile. At one point I was breastfeeding 19 hours a day, and when we introduced formula his issues only seemed to get worse!

I felt like I was going crazy. I was calling the pediatricians office multiple times a week in tears and everyone kept telling me 'This is normal! Babies cry, babies cluster feed, babies will 'spit up'. He will grow out of it. Give it time. Totally normal...' I felt like 'Maybe I'm just not cut out to be a mother? All of these other moms can do this... whats wrong with me that I cant?'

Heidi was the first person to validate what we were going through and to show me that what our baby was experiencing was NOT normal. Every single symptom he had was classic reflux, including overeating, which she explained babies will sometimes do to soothe themselves from the painful bouts of reflux. She and her team saved our lives.
They walked me through:
- WHY babies get reflux
- What formulas to try for his reflux
- What diet to adopt while breastfeeding
- What supplements to include to help treat the root cause of his reflux (probiotics)
- What process to follow for feeding
- How much time to leave between feeds and bedtime/naps
- How often to burp
- Burping methods
- Whether or not we should look at consulting with a physical therapist for any body tightness due to strain from reflux
- How to introduce sleep coaching AND when
- A realistic timeline for when we should see improvement in reflux symptoms
- A realistic timeline for when we should see improvement in sleep once we were in a good spot to begin sleep coaching

I don't know where we would be today without Heidi and her team. Our sweet little baby is now 8 months old and is sleeping 12 hours a night with 3-4 hours of naps during the day. Heidi's programs and advice are truly priceless. I have recommended her and her team to all of my friends and family. If you are a mama, or know of a new mama - I cannot recommend her enough.

We had a 1:1 with Becky to help with our 20m old who would scream for hours at bedtime and wake constantly. She created a brilliant new schedule, but also made little changes if it didn’t work. She was so fantastic, I cannot recommend her enough

After trying nearly everything to fix early waking, I booked a call with Heidi. After asking the right questions and listening to answers, she gave us a few different options to try. And it worked! We went from dreading another 5/530am wake up to now (occasionally) needing to wake up our little man at 7.30am! Thanks as always Hiedi and PBC team
