Max's story: from rocking to a two hour nap in his cot
SUCCESS STORY
Lauren & Jason
19 month old · Guildford, UK
Complete Support Package
We started working with Bryony when our son was almost 19 months. He had never been a terrible sleeper, but we had definitely fallen into some bad habits we wanted to change. Getting him to sleep was always by rocking him in our arms until he was drowsy, during the night we would pat his back until he drifted back to sleep, and more often than not he ended up in bed with us from 5.30am. Naps were disjointed and mostly in my arms after 30 minutes in his cot. It was exhausting and unpredictable.
In a few words
“With Bryony's gentle techniques and daily support our baby has gone from feeding to sleep every night and nap time, to self settling and sleeping through. Life changing.”

“Simply put, it worked. Our daughter is now sleeping 11 hour stretches in her cot, which still feels unbelievable.”
Louise & Aidan
15 to 16 month old · Oxfordshire, UK · Complete Support Package
Before starting, our toddler would sleep in her cot for short stretches before ending up co-sleeping with us. She was also very reliant on milk through the night to settle back to sleep. Bryony took the time to understand our goals, which were to eliminate night feeds and help our daughter sleep independently in her cot through the night.
One of the most helpful parts was the daily sleep logs: each morning we submitted them and Bryony reviewed them carefully, giving tailored, practical guidance based on what she saw. She was kind, non-judgmental and incredibly knowledgeable, and her gentle approach was completely aligned with our values.
“We wanted help with both our children's sleep. I cannot believe how much our lives have changed.”
Amy & Tom
6 month old and 3 year old · Cornwall, UK · Complete Support Package
I contacted Bryony in the middle of an endless row of sleepless nights. Our 7 month old couldn't be put down without instantly waking and co-slept with us, and our 3 year old's sleep had taken a tricky turn. With my husband working nights most of the week, we knew something had to change. From the first 15 minute call I knew we were going to work with her: kind, calming, and aligned with our values. We saw instant improvements from the first night, then slower progress with illness and teething. Bryony was patient, adjusted things and we paused until they were better.
We went from multiple wakes and feeding back to sleep to our little boy sleeping independently in his own room, with only a couple of wakes. In the last week he has slept through. Our daughter went from needing a lot of support at bedtime, a dummy to settle and ending up in our bed, to falling asleep with us outside the room, giving up the dummy and far fewer wake ups. She even declares in the morning, “Mummy, I had such a big sleep!”
“I had tried two other sleep consultants without lasting success before I reached out to Bryony.”
Debbie & James
10 month old · London, UK · Complete Support Package
I could not recommend Bryony more highly enough. She has literally changed our lives! My 10 month old hated his cot, was not able to fall asleep independently and always had to be fed to sleep. He was also a chronic cat napper, unable to nap for more than 30 minutes, and waking/feeding multiple times during the night. Baby and I were both permanently exhausted. I had tried two other sleep consultants without lasting success before I reached out to Bryony. From the very first call with Bryony I knew she was the right person to help us. She is super professional, calm, non-judgemental and supportive. She is also clearly an expert in what she does! She really takes the time to listen and understand what the issues are, and creates a flexible but clear plan of action. We had to deal with teething and a few other curve balls during the month but we were able to adapt the plan to work for us.
We felt so supported throughout the month we worked with Bryony. The main thing that I liked about her approach was how gentle and responsive it was.
Of course there was some crying, which is to be expected, but I never felt like he was distressed or that he felt abandoned. I just knew we were doing the right thing for our little one with this gentle approach. We now have a baby who happily goes to sleep independently in his cot for all his sleeps. He sleeps for really long stretches at night, mostly through the night. I often have to wake him up from his naps now because he can sleep for too long! We are on holiday at the moment and he is even sleeping and napping in the travel cot like a star. I’ve also noticed how much happier my little one is and how his development improved since getting some decent sleep. I can’t believe this is the same baby and how much has changed in a month. Bryony helped us to teach him the skills he needs to sleep independently and in a sustainable way. We really feel like we have all the tools we need to support his sleep going forward. Thank you Bryony!
“In a matter of days we went from 30 minute naps and multiple night wakings, to 2+ hour naps and 12 hours through the night. With twins”
Alice & Ben
10 month old twins · Oxfordshire, UK · Complete Support Package
Bryony's approach is gentle and family centric but very efficient. She builds a bespoke plan that gives parents the tools to implement changes, while making sure the children work at a pace that is right for them. My favourite thing is that she focuses on helping you understand your child's sleep needs, rituals and patterns
She does more than get your children sleeping through quickly: she helps you build skills, so you can recognise their sleep needs as they grow and as settings change. We now know the optimum home routine for our whole family, and we can manage sleep around life's commitments and the days things don't go to plan. She is also conscientious about affordability and offers payment plans.
“I was very much against sleep training. I like that Bryony calls it sleep coaching, and some babies need more coaching than others”
Kate & Justin
9 month old · Gloucestershire, UK · Complete Support Package
Before approaching Bryony, our daughter took a while to fall asleep for naps, only napped for 30 minutes and only in a pram. At night she was breastfed to sleep and would wake soon after, then wake multiple times needing rocking or feeding, always ending up in the pram again. Sleep seemed frustrating for her.
After only a few days of guidance she was napping and sleeping through the night in her cot, without rocking or feeding to sleep. I cannot tell you how much this helped the relationships in our family. As a mother I am now able to be more present for both my children. Bryony gave us constant care through the three weeks, listening and empathising with how we were feeling.
“We had moved several times during our daughter's first fifteen months, and the solutions had to work with our unconventional schedules”
Katerina & Stephen
16 month old · San Sebastián, Spain · Complete Support Package
All that moving meant she relied on feeding to sleep and sleeping in our bed instead of her own cot. She only napped once a day, in the buggy, for no more than half an hour, and was often tired and grumpy. In the space of four weeks Bryony showed us the cause of her sleep problems and gave us solutions that worked with our lifestyle.
When a proposed solution didn't work she was eager to offer an alternative, and together we gained confidence in how to tackle the seemingly impossible. Four weeks on, our daughter sleeps in her own cot and we have the knowledge and skills to help her with any future challenges.
“After almost a year of waking multiple times a night, we’ve seen a huge improvement with no split nights”
Katie & Angus
16 month old · Oxfordshire, UK · Complete Support Package
We needed help with our then 3 year old who started waking multiple times in the night since moving him into a toddler bed. After almost a year of it happening most nights we decided to get some help.
Bryony helped us with a new nap structure and sleep rewards chart which our son really responded to, even after previously not responding to sticker charts.
Bryony also flagged possible sleep apnea symptoms so we now have a referral with a specialist to investigate this. After just over a month of working with Bryony, we have seen a huge improvement with no split nights and minimal night wakes. Thank you!!
“From constant bedtime fights to leave-them-alone success in just four weeks!”
Amy & Amish
4,5 years old · Oxfordshire, UK · Complete Support Package
Bryony’s support has really helped us to turn bedtimes around. We initially approached Bryony with pretty low expectations for improving bedtimes for our 4 and a half year old; just to reduce the number of fights at bedtime was our aim.
But with Bryony’s careful plan and encouragement to keep going, after 4 weeks we’re now in a position to leave our daughter for protracted periods of time (we had never been able to leave her before), and fights are a minority occurrence. We’re so grateful to Bryony for coming up with a tailored plan that suits our daughter, and giving us so much encouragement when inevitably at times it was tough to stick with.
“Things steadily improved each night and stabilized into a new routine for all of us”
Steph & Gareth
4,5 years old · Oxfordshire, UK · Complete Support Package
We reached out to Bryony in desperation when our baby girl was just 4 months old. A friend had recently used her services and had success so we thought we had nothing to lose! Bryony gave us really useful advice to reassure us that we weren't doing anything wrong - it was just too early to get somekind of routine. After our little one had developed a bit further and was already making her own progress with independent sleep we had another conversation with Bryony. She took our existing schedule and made some adjustments to optimise awake windows and naps, and a plan to support more independent sleep (asleep from being wide awake). We prepared a daily log of progress and Bryony fed back, making minor tweaks and providing reassurance.
It was a challenging few first nights but Bryony was there with us all the way. After just a few days we started to see results and we then perserved over a period of 3 weeks getting steadily better each night. By the last week things had really stabilised into a new routine for all of us and we were getting much more sleep. Naps were improving too. We then had a very useful wrap up call with Bryony to consider any blips that might occur going forward- sleep regressions, illness and also how to introduce others to the new routine to support babysitting. Overall we are so glad we asked Bryony to help us and we are all much happier and better rested as a family as a result!
“I can only describe what happened next as a miracle, bedtime used to take 2 hours, now she falls asleep happily!”
Sarah & John
2 years 3 months old · Portsmouth, UK · Complete Support Package
Our daughter was 2 years and 3 months old when I contacted Bryony for advice about evening settling. This was very time-consuming and could easily take 1.5-2 hours and sometimes longer. Bryony was friendly and approachable from the outset. During the consultation Bryony listened carefully to everything we said and we felt really comfortable with her and understood the reasons behind the actions we were going to take. We chose the full support package which gave us the confidence to know we’d have Bryony on hand to advise us on the detail of what happened at every stage and help us adjust things as necessary. Bryony responded quickly to all messages and we felt fully supported.
We were given a clear plan to follow with some immediate changes to make and then some additional changes when we started the sleep coaching in earnest.
I can only describe what happened next as a miracle! Our daughter took really well to the new arrangements, and there was a huge difference from the outset. We were set for a bumpy ride, but instead the changes were largely met with very little resistance. Where there was resistance, we were equipped with methods for dealing with this. To our amazement, our little one very quickly and willingly settled into the new routine and now falls asleep happily in her cot. We now have an evening routine that is enjoyable for us all, which also leaves us with some time remaining in the evening (this had become a thing of the past!) Bryony also provided some additional sleep-related and weaning advice for the future, which will be really helpful. All in all, we had a great experience with a brilliant outcome and I would definitely recommend anyone to contact Bryony for advice on their children’s sleeping habits.

“After only a few days of Bryony’s guidance, our daughter was napping and sleeping through the night in her cot!”
Kate & Justin

Sleep training is a loaded term, bringing up strong emotions and opinions. When we had our first child, I was very much against sleep training; however, after having my second child, it became clear that some babies need extra help learning how to sleep. It was only with Bryony’s care, support, and knowledge that we were able to help our daughter develop those skills.
Before approaching Bryony, our daughter took a long time to fall asleep, only napped for 30 minutes in a pram, and was breastfed to sleep at night before waking multiple times.
After only a few days of Bryony’s guidance, our little girl was napping and sleeping through the night in her cot—without needing to be rocked or fed to sleep. After a couple of weeks, her schedule became predictable and she was taking long morning naps.
As a mother, I am now able to be more present for both my children. Bryony gave us constant, personalized care throughout the three weeks. If you are looking for a holistic, personal approach, look no further than Bryony!
“After 6 months of contact naps and waking every 2 hours, our baby now sleeps through the night and naps in his crib!”
Lydia & Michael
6 months old · London, UK · Complete Support Package
After 6 months of our baby only napping in our arms and waking every 2 hours at night, we decided we needed a change and reached out to Bryony. From the very beginning, her approach was supportive, non-judgemental, and kind.
She gave us the tools to gently support our baby in learning how to sleep and nap independently, while still recognizing our instincts as parents. She patiently guided us through night weaning, independent sleeping, and gentle nap coaching.
Honestly, our lives have completely changed! The daily support was an absolute game-changer. Our baby now sleeps through the night with just one dream feed and naps independently in his crib during the day.
Bedtimes are now happy and fun, my partner and I feel human again, and most importantly, our baby is happier and more relaxed. We couldn’t have done it without Bryony’s guidance and patience!
“Bryony changed our lives! Our 7-month-old now sleeps through the night with no rocking, and he's like a different, happy baby”
Mark & Perrine
7 months old · London, UK · Complete Support Package
Bryony has absolutely changed our lives for the better! We were hesitant to begin sleep training due to some of the harsher methods available, but she was recommended to us for her gentler approach. After our consultation, we felt extremely comfortable working with her.
Before beginning, our 7-month-old had a really difficult time sleeping. We often spent hours rocking him to sleep, and he would wake every 30–40 minutes throughout the night, making him grumpy and irritable during the day.
We chose the full package for extra support, and Bryony adapted the approach based on how each night went, giving us the confidence to keep going.
Now, our boy sleeps completely through the night, requires no rocking, and has a structured nap pattern. We are all so much happier, especially our son—he's like a different baby, always smiling and playful. We are so grateful!
“We went from 6–7 night feeds to zero! Our daughter now falls asleep on her own in minutes and loves her new bedtime routine.”
Carla & Alpha
9 months old · London, UK · Complete Support Package
We started with Bryony when our daughter was 9 months old. She was waking every 1.5–2 hours and wanting to be fed each time, which wasn't realistic. From the very first night, we went from 6–7 feeds to just 3, and in just over a week we were down to zero feeds!
Bryony was knowledgeable, sensitive, and offered so many reassuring words of encouragement whenever I felt like I was doing something wrong. She was amazing at getting me back on track when I lost hope while my daughter got sick twice.
My daughter now falls asleep within minutes on her own—no more rocking, feeding to sleep, or needing to be touched in her cot. With Bryony, we also introduced a solid bedtime routine with a bath and reading every night, and now my little girl is a total bookworm.
I got so much more than a baby who naps regularly and falls asleep on her own; I got an independent little girl. As soon as I spoke to Bryony, I knew she was the right person to help!
“Our situation has dramatically changed! We went from co-sleeping and waking 6–8 times a night to all naps in her cot and sleeping through with no night feeds.”
Luan & Kyra

My wife and I are so incredibly impressed with Bryony’s knowledge, professionalism, and compassion for our situation. Finding someone we bonded with and trusted as a family was the most important thing for us before moving forward with sleep coaching. Bryony was clear, understanding, and made us feel completely comfortable.
Before working with her, my wife had been co-sleeping since day one, feeding all night on demand. She was struggling so much, as our daughter was waking 6–8 times on a good night and was unable to be put down for naps.
With Bryony’s guidance, we’ve gone from that extreme to all naps in her cot and sleeping through most nights with no feeds! On the rare occasion she wakes, she is so easy to settle in her cot without needing any night feeds at all.
Our daughter is approaching one year old, and after enjoying co-sleeping and contact naps, it was finally time for a change. We are forever grateful to Bryony for providing our family with that little bit of freedom we so needed!
“Bryony saved our sanity! After 9 months of waking every 40 minutes, our son’s sleep is transformed and he sleeps through the night with just one dream feed.”
Janine & Neil
10 months old · London, UK · Complete Support Package
We would 100% recommend Bryony. She saved our sanity after 9 months of terrible no-sleeping and co-sleeping. Our boy was waking every 40 minutes to an hour for months, basically, we were in a permanent sleep regression and nothing we tried with our headstrong little man had worked.
When he started trying to crawl out of our bed at night, we knew time was up and we had to get help. Bryony was so reassuring right from the start, giving us really clear information on how sleep coaching worked and what to expect.
Each night we had a clear plan, and with Bryony’s help each day, we adjusted it for the following night to encourage him to rely on us less and learn to self-settle.
Within days we noticed a huge difference, and after 3 weeks his sleep is completely transformed. He now sleeps through the night with only one dream feed! Thank you so much, Bryony!
“Bryony transformed our 2-year-old’s sleep from rocking and frequent night wakings to independent, uninterrupted nights of rest!”
Katrina & John

Bryony's expertise and dedication played a pivotal role in transforming our 2-year-old's sleep habits. She took the time to thoroughly understand our son's sleep patterns, temperament, and our family's lifestyle.
This personalized approach set the foundation for a tailored sleep plan that was both realistic and effective for us.
Bryony was very responsive, keeping us accountable and providing timely guidance whenever we faced challenges or had questions. Knowing that we had ongoing support made the journey far less daunting and increased our confidence in implementing the plan.
Our little one is now sleeping through the night, and we are enjoying the benefits of a well-rested family life. We wholeheartedly recommend Bryony to any parents seeking better sleep!
