The Sleeping Baby Routine Reviews 

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.

Working with Charmian has been an absolute pleasure. She has identified that our son was not getting enough milk - something we were oblivious to, as his sleep was the only indicator that something was awry. She put us on a schedule that reaped results immediately and as a result, we have a well-rested and well-fed baby boy, as well as a routine that works.

I would heartily recommend Charmian to anyone whose baby or child is struggling with sleep. Her method is informative, direct and incredibly gentle and kind.

We went from waking up every hour to enjoying solid nights of sleep, and 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!

We purchased a single consultation and then follow-up to overcome our last hurdles to a full nights sleep for our 7.5 month old. Charmian's approach is direct, informative and understanding - exactly what we needed! She also took the time to check in with us and see how things were going, which made us feel valued as her clients. We saw immediate results and are absolutely delighted and grateful for her help.

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 :)

Just an incredible experience from the very start!

Charmian helped our baby sleep through the night after a matter of days.

My advice is to stick with her holistic approach and a good nights sleep will be a matter of days!

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.

We heard of Charmian from one of our close friends who had had great success using the book and in-house support. During our pregnancy we were keen to enlist the help of the book and Charmian; both my husband and I have busy jobs, often working unsocial hours and it was imperative to us to ensure that our son would have a routine that would keep happy and well fed in an easy to follow routine. Having heard of the success from various people and reviews and having had first-hand experience, I can honestly say the hype about Charmian and her methods are well warranted.

I read her book in the months leading up to my delivery. It is easy to read and follow with clear and concise advice. It dispels a few of the myths around feeding, routine and digestion that even I as a medical professional believed in. The chapters on breast-feeding and how to optimise milk production was invaluable as I was keen to breast feed my child. However what was also clear throughout the book was Charmian’s message of prioritising a happy mum (parents) and a happy baby. Her key message was of the importance of balance in the approach to establishing the routine.

Whilst the book on its own gave us sufficient guidance, including a chapter on troubleshooting, we were keen to employ her remote and in-house support. The booking process was simple and straightforward, a god-send when trying to balance a busy work-life with pregnancy and the hormones it brings with it. We booked in for a 5 day remote session a week after the baby was born but was given plenty of information on how to navigate the first few daunting days of parenthood. The remote sessions were excellent, Charmian’s ability to recall all the details of our plan and the nuances of our infant was remarkable. She was able to troubleshoot in real time and after each morning catch up call we were left with a clear plan of action for the day ahead and with the ability to contact her throughout the day with any issues we may encounter.

We also opted to have in-house support and had Charmian stay with us for 5 days spanning over the period of 2 weeks. This provided us with invaluable support and guidance and I would not hesitate to recommend the in-house support to anyone who is considering it. Charmian was considerate and flexible when my son had a hospital stay, trying her best to be flexible through her busy schedule. Whilst she provided house support it felt like I had a (very knowledgeable) sister around; she made me feel at ease and allayed many of the fears and stresses I was feeling. She was considerate about my want to breast-feed and was pivotal in helping me achieve that whilst ensuring my baby (who was small for gestational age) was well fed and gaining weight appropriately. As I had had a c-section, my milk production was delayed and low, Charmian gave me clear concise advice on how to improve my milk supply but what really stood out was how caring she is. She is able to understand the emotions and feelings I as a new mother was going through and also able to work with my character traits to formulate a personalised plan that would be most beneficial to me. What is also striking is how personable and present she is, despite being busy and juggling clients, I always felt her attention was 100% on the task at hand and she had a keen eye for detail, never missing anything!

When the in-house support ended, we were left with a clear, very detailed plan of action that provided information and guidance for most (if not all) eventualities. We were so happy with our experience that we booked on a for a further 4 week catch up call as we realised that the support we were getting was invaluable.

Our experience of Charmian and the sleeping baby routine has been nothing but positive. It has helped ease us into parenthood and made the process of getting used to having an infant so much more positive. Motherhood is daunting and nothing quite prepares you for it. You may be a high-achieving individual but motherhood has a way of grounding you and humbling you. Charmian has definitely helped make my transition from medic to mum smooth, successful and enjoyable.

We have had Charmian's help for both of our children, around the 5 month age. She focused on weaning and tweaked our daytime nap routine until both children were sleeping through the night regularly. She is calm, confident and helped put any concerns to rest. Trust the process!

In just five days, our 5.5 month old baby has gone from waking up 3 to 4 times a night to sleeping a solidly from 7pm to 6am.
It's pretty incredible that Charmian's advice works so well, and so quickly!
It all makes sense, reduce day time naps, introduce solids to make sure baby has all the calories they need during the day, and let them cry it out with some intermittent settling so they learn to self sooth.
Just be ready for some tough love. Charmian will not coddle you or your sleep deprived feelings. She will get straight to the point and deliver results fast. Stick to what she says. It will be a tough 5 days, but you'll see results almost immediately and you'll get your sanity back.
Great investment. Would recommend.

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!

Charmian is amazing. If you are thinking of getting any guidance for sleep training then she is the best and don’t think twice about it. Charmian takes a fantastic direct approach with fast results that is a complete life saver when you have a newborn. Many friends had raved about Charmian and I can totally see why. Our daughter slept through from week 10 and that is all down to Charmian and a little commitment at our end. We did a week of virtual calls and one in person meet. I cannot recommend working with Charmian enough. We will definitely work with Charmian again.

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.

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!

We saw very quick results from Charmian and her advice for our 7 month old. In just 3 days we went from a 2 hour bedtime to a 15 minute process with no night waking.

Second time working with Charmian (second baby!) and within the 5 days, I’d regained my confidence with sleep/weaning and routines. Baby boy is coming up to 5 months and was still waking at night. He now shares a room with his toddler sister and they both sleep through. They’re on consistent routines with a great relationship with food and sleep. Thank you ❤️

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 haven’t stopped gushing about her to anyone that will listen

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!

Very clear and hugely insightful resource - perfect for getting babies into a good routine from very early on. Life saver for new parents!

We had booked Charmain after a year of close to no sleep which was really impacting us as a family. A week before our consultation we decided to put our daughter into her on room, and since then has slept through. We ended up cancelling our session with Charmain at very short notice, and she was really helpful and understanding of the situation. I have no doubt we will need her in the near future and will happily book in for her services.
