The Sleeping Baby Routine Reviews 

We used Charmian for our son and most recently our daughter. Her advice on both occasions has been professional, nonjudgmental, valuable and speedy. She helped us resolve our issues and concerns and we would highly recommend her and her methods - they absolutely work. Do not hesitate to contact Charmian if you need help.

Knowing that we have Charmian there if we need her has genuinely made me a better mum. I feel so much more relaxed and present knowing that, if anything goes wrong, I can call her and she’ll help us find a solution.

We first worked with Charmian when our son was five months old. He’s now 14 months, and we have consistently enjoyed solid nights ever since.

A few weeks ago, we moved across the world and had to deal with an eight-hour time difference. So when his sleep suddenly fell apart because of jet lag, I panicked. I got in touch with Charmian straight away and she completely put my mind at ease. She went above and beyond to help us work through it and get everything back on track.

Having her there gives me such a sense of reassurance. My baby’s sleep has caused me a lot of anxiety since he was born, so knowing that I can speak to Charmian whenever I need help, has made so much difference to us all!

We honestly can’t thank Charmian enough for what she has done for our family and our twins. 🩷🩵

For the first 6 months, my wife and I were sleeping in separate beds because the twins were waking during the night. We were tired and just couldn’t see how things were going to change.

Charmian took the time to really look at our routine and picked up on things we hadn’t even considered. We were giving the twins quite a lot of milk, which meant they simply weren’t eating enough solids during the day. She helped us change their routine, reduce the milk, improve their meals and drop their daytime sleep down to just one nap.

The change has honestly been amazing. The twins are now eating so much more, having healthier and more balanced meals, and, most importantly, they are now sleeping through the night! 🥹🩷🩵

After 6 months of sleeping separately, my wife and I are finally sleeping in the same bed again! It sounds like such a simple thing, but after being so exhausted for so long, it means absolutely everything to us.

We feel like we have our evenings back, we’re getting proper sleep and we’re enjoying family life so much more.

Charmian has been so supportive, reassuring and knowledgeable throughout, and she never made us feel judged. She really listened to us and our twins and came up with a routine that actually worked for our family.

We genuinely couldn’t recommend Charmian enough. She has completely changed our lives and we are so grateful for everything she has done for us.
Thank you Twin Mummas xx

Cannot recommend Charmian enough. She not only looked at improving sleep but the whole daytime routine including food. Nothing was too much trouble and she was always on hand when and if we needed her. We had a daily call and unlimited wotsapp support throughout the day so any issues were addressed quickly, our twins are now sleeping through the night and eating proper nutritionally balanced meals and that is all thanks to Charmian!

Charmian has saved our sleep yet again! We were starting to get earlier wake ups again and after one call with Charmian, we managed to get a plan in place to fit with our lifestyle and needs in order to get our daughter sleeping through 7-7 again. Thank you!! Can't recommend Charmian and The Sleeping Baby Routine enough!

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. 😊

We had immediate success under Charmian’s direction: our four week old baby achieved over ten hours of nighttime sleep with only one middle of the night feed on the first night, and we’ve been able to continue that success every night over the past fortnight. We also achieved immediate success in getting our baby to sleep in his cot for both daytime naps and nighttime sleep.
Charmian provides clear, practical direction and is very responsive throughout the day on WhatsApp. We strongly recommend her and will return to her again if we need further help at a later stage.
As parents we are getting plentiful sleep and are much better able to manage the day to day of having a newborn as a result.
We booked a five day course which was extended to ten days as there were delays in delivering the breast pump required to inform Charmian’s strategy and advice. We recommend checking with Charmian what equipment you need before you start the course, so you can make the most of the short course.
Note that to achieve the sleep for both baby and parents requires a clear diary and a huge amount of effort and commitment during the daytime…but it is well worth the effort!

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.

I honestly can’t recommend you enough! I was incredibly nervous and apprehensive before starting, but you came highly recommended by a friend, so we decided to trust the process, follow all of your advice, and give it our best shot.

The results were beyond anything we expected. We started seeing improvements by day two, which felt like a miracle, and by day three our baby was sleeping from 7pm to 7am. After five months of broken sleep, I finally had a full night’s rest and honestly felt like a brand new person.

The support and guidance throughout the process were exceptional. Everything was explained so clearly, and both my husband and I felt supported every step of the way during the five days. It was such a positive experience from start to finish.

We’re absolutely blown away by the results and will be recommending you to all of our friends and family. Thank you so much for your kindness, expertise, and support throughout this journey! it has genuinely changed our lives.

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 genuinely supported us every step of the way; from specialist recommendations to getting us an appointment asap to recovery post procedure. Offering emotional support when needed. 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. She is extremely thorough, she looks at the full picture and 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. Thanks to her support, 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! I cannot recommend her enough.

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!

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!

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 at week2 and week 5 followed by an in-home stay week 6 and 7 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 we 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 is absolutely fantastic, we have worked with her twice now with both of our children. Our son is now three years old and he’s always been an excellent sleeper from the beginning thanks to Charmian. Our daughter is now 10 weeks old and is already sleeping 11/12 hours. Long may it continue. I would highly recommend Charmian for any sleep issues or anyone expecting a new baby. Thank you Charmian for all the additional hours of sleep!

Charmian felt very much a partner in achieving your goals throughout m she was invested in exploring different causes of night waking and put a rigorous plan in place to understand milk supply, food intake etc. She is firm in her advice which had clear improvement in impact from day 1 and within 24 hours the night wakings were reduced to one small feed. Would highly recommend for completw routine, sleep and feeding advice.

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!

A total game changer for us. I was initially reluctant to sleep train, believing that I should simply follow my seven month old’s rhythms and feeding cues. But I was struggling in myself with broken sleep, and it turns out reliable routine makes my baby happiest too. Charmian helped us find a nap and feeding schedule that we could stick to and which suits him, and he instantly began sleeping through the night with no “cry it out” needed. And I’ve never seen my baby so happy and full of energy in the daytime. Charmian has three decades of experience and it truly shows… talking to her is like running your question through a complex data model to find the precise and unique setup your baby needs. Truly worth every penny and I could not sing her praises more highly.

We have had another brilliant experience with Charmian, her support packages are invaluable.

She helped us get our daughter sleeping 7-7 in 2023, and then we booked in with her again for our son this year, who has also been sleeping 7-7 before turning 3 months old.

We booked in with her both times when our babies were around 4 weeks old, which felt like the right time for us to establish a structured routine. However, she can help you whatever stage you are at.

Friends and family can’t believe that despite us having two young children, we are not sleep deprived!

Many friends of ours have used night Nannies when they had young babies, however, in our eyes this is just kicking a can down the road as you need to teach your baby to sleep well using Charmian’s no-cry plan.
