As a first time mum of a premature and sick baby who I described as “never a good sleeper” I began adopting all the wrong habits in order to get a full night’s sleep. I went back to work when she was 1 year old and slowly she began to be in my bed from anytime around midnight and I spent the rest of the night constantly waking and putting the dummy back in her mouth, rubbing her hands and head in order to get her back to sleep.
When she was 18 months old I reached breaking point and realized that neither she nor I could go on like that. Having being recommended by a friend about Edel I did up the 7 day diary and after reading her blog I realized that I was not the only mother in my situation and in fact 1 in 4 kids go through the same thing. I thought it was only my child that woke constantly and needed reassurance or a bottle to get back to sleep.
I adopted her plan like a military operation and was determined that our lives would change and they sure did. I broke her habit of needing me to sit with her until she fell asleep and also needing a bottle to get to sleep. After 3 days the bottles were gone and she was eating like never before and sleeping more contently.
I would recommend Edel to any person who is going through the same issues and have already done so numerous times to desperate mothers out there. She is extremely reassuring and I never felt stupid with my silly little questions which she always answered in a helpful manner. I now have the confidence( I think!!) to face the sicknesses and also the little blips which may occur form time to time and feel if things slip I have the know-how to get them back on track again.
Thank you Edel for giving me my sanity back and for making all our lives happier.*
