Rafe had reflux and a tongue-tie

Tongue-tie diagnosis

My little man and I haven’t had an easy start in life. With a diagnosis of a tongue-tie at around 2.5 months and reflux at 3 months, the first few months had been filled with lots of crying and little sleep.

It was amazing that with the tongue-tie fixed and finally the right medication the change we experienced, he became much more relaxed and far happier. The only lasting effect was some pretty poor sleep habits. He slept well through the night but if we had a sleep through the day, it was a small miracle.

I mentioned this to my GP and she suggested I reach out to Karen. Karen can fix any baby she said.

I was a little hesitant, I had already had private consultants come round to help me and I wasn’t happy with the results. I knew I needed to do something (not only did my little man need help, so did my marriage!) so I called her and she agreed to come over the next weekend.

I won’t go into details about what we did except to say Karen was really knowledgeable and after following her advice, within days we were self-settling in the cot. It did get harder before it got better and halfway in we had to remove the dummy as he was waking too early and not going back to sleep. It was like starting sleep training all over again!

Karen throughout this process was fantastic. Besides putting us on the right sleep path, her daily calls, the text messages and the uncanny knack she had for calling when I was at breaking point was at times a lifesaver. She even came over again to help me through a really tough time.

I can’t stress enough how much I appreciated the service and support she gave us. My little man now sleeps throughout the day and we’ve now a great routine in place. This wouldn’t have happened without Karen’s help.

I would not hesitate in recommending Karen to any mother needing help putting babies to sleep. You won’t regret it!

Karen really understand Toddler Behaviour

I have been going to Karen since my daughter was 7 weeks old. Even through her toddler years, Karen has been spot on and has helped immensely with toddler behaviour related questions. Karen guided me through potty training issues and how to best navigate them based on my strong willed child.

Nurture Parenting - knowledgeable, supportive and gentle

Karen was understanding, kind and supportive with clear strategies to help improve our toddlers sleep. She explained what was happening and gave us a plan to follow. This is the second child we have used Karen’s methods with and I would recommend Nurture Parenting to any parents wanting to better understand their babies sleep and gently help them to self soothe and sleep better.

After buying Karen’s newborn program and successfully using it on baby 2, i decided to start even earlier with baby 3. I got a little confused on certain things since she’s preemie but Karen helped me go back to my core and center, listened attentively and answered all my questions. She also went beyond that and shared new ideas with me. It was ace. I might book another in a few weeks if needed. For now baby is doing everything by the book

Advice and videos are so clear and succinct

I just wanted to write and say thank you. We started your program almost three weeks ago, and it has dramatically changed our babies sleep for the better. Toby (10 months) went from waking 6+ times each night. We fumbled during each wake, as we offered dummies, bottles, whatever we thought would stop the crying for a moment. The only thing that we achieved, was waking him up even more and frustrating the **** out of him!

The first night of magic presence took 40 minutes, and now he is down within minutes once he is placed in the cot. We have had a few sleep throughs as well.

Your advice and videos are so clear and succinct. We found them so easy to follow. To compare, we looked back on a sleep consultant plan that we paid $300+ for with our firstborn and were stunned at how complicated and convoluted the plan was. No wonder it didn't work!!

I was so nervous about going back to work being so sleep deprived, and I was also concerned about how Toby would cope with the transition to day care. However, I now feel a lot more confident (and well rested!).

All the best and thank you again.

I'd pay 10 X what I did for this sleep program

never wanted to sleep train, I didn’t think I could personally tolerate listening to my baby cry endlessly. It surprised me how quickly my 7mo picked this up. Night one we removed the dummy and overnight feed cold turkey. We’re on night 11 and bub has been sleeping through almost every night since night 2 (we’re still battling early wakings every now and then). Day naps have also improved remarkably! I’ve also got one of the mums in my mother’s group onto this who is having huge success with her 8mo boy who she fed to sleep previously!

As my title says, I would pay 10x the amount for this program knowing how well it worked! Listening to the crying whilst in the room with bub was hard, but I know my presence was reassurance for her and it is the only reason I went with the program!!

Thanks so much Karen for this program, it’s working beautifully for us and I know it’s setting us up for long term success! I will recommend to anyone who will listen 😂
