. My 7 month old daughter has never been a good sleeper both during the day and at night . Me and my partner were at a point where we thought this was it - our lives would constantly be spent going back and forwards trying desperately to get our baby to settle in her own cot . Every moment we put her down from our arms her eyes would ping open - resulting in 1 of us having to pick her up , rock her to sleep endless amounts of times before we gave up and let her sleep next to us or in our arms . I then contacted Vickie who put together a whole new sleep / feed routine . At first I thought I wouldn’t be able to do it , but Vickie reassured me and gave me the confidence I needed to get things started . My daughter now sleeps in her OWN cot from 19.00- 5.30 and naps regularly throughout the day . I feel like a brand new women and my daughter seems so much more settled and happier with this new routine . I wouldn’t have been able to do this without the constant support I had from Vickie - who I contacted regularly when I was having a difficult period trying to settle my baby. Vickie provides Absolutely outstanding service and has a real passion for you and your babies wellbeing . I have already recommended her to several friends!!!read more

I was recommended Vickie by a friend when I was expecting my twin boys. From the moment that Vickie came to see me and the boys at the hospital when they were a few hours old, she has been the most supportive, caring and knowledgable maternity nurse I could have wished for. Vickie has an incredible sense of awareness and always knew how to integrate herself perfectly with all my family’s dynamics and other children. Luckily, Vickie was able to stay with us until the boys were 6 weeks old. In these first crucial weeks, Vickie helped to find a fantastic routine that we were all happy with, especially because it always put in its centre my own feelings and ideas. I hired Vickie as a sleep consulted when my boys were 9 months old. In the space of just one week, my twins’ feeding, sleeping and play time routine was synchronised and since then they have been sleeping 12 hours at night! I would highly recommend Vickie as an amazing person, sleep consultant and maternity nurse!read more

We had 3 initial chats with Vickie on the phone and she sounded nice so we hired her as a sleep consultant for our baby. However, we were disappointed with Vickie as her only method for baby sleep involves leaving the baby to cry, which we are not willing to use on our baby. Vickie did not tell us from the outset that the only method she has experience in is a type of controlled crying and this was not stated explicitly on her website. If she had been clear on this point we would not have hired her. During the home visit consultation she described her method as between Gina Ford and Tracy Hogg. She advised us to leave our baby crying for 8 minutes alone and go in for one minute, then back out for 8 minutes and continue this until the baby sleeps. We were not comfortable with 8 minutes during the consultation, so she recommended we drop to 3 minutes of crying. We would suggest if parents are not happy to leave their babies crying to seek other sleep trainers with experience in gentle, no tear sleep methods.read more

Vickie came to see us at the beginning of the month as I was at my wits end! Our second baby was so different to our first and just wouldn’t sleep longer than 2 hours. We followed Vickie’s advice and tweaked her routine. She now sleeps 11-12 hours every night 😀read more
