The Sleeping Baby Routine Recenzje 

We booked Charmian for a 4 week period following the birth of our twins, based on a recommendation from friends who has also used her service with their twins. I also bought her book to guide me as I felt from talking to fellow twin mums it wasn’t realistic to follow a demand led pattern. Charmian has given me sleep, sanity and most importantly two very calm little babies who are putting on weight nicely and thriving in every way.
I was wary of a militant, inflexible, cry it out routine that would make me feel like I was punishing my babies but also restricting my ability to bond and enjoy my time with them. The sleeping baby routine appealed as it offered structure but at the same time flexibility.

My babies are very different personalities from each other and have very different feeding styles. I also switched from exclusively breast feeding to mixed feeding. This routine still worked well for both.

The most useful sections of her book in my opinion are the chapter on baby digestion which is the focus of this routine, the “be flexible” section which helped me to make this routine work in real life, and the section on skin on skin which was the highlight of my day!

Charmian’s book is my new “go to” present for friends who are expecting. This has been a life saver for me and I genuinely believe I wouldn’t have enjoyed the early months with my newborns as much without the calm environment and predictability this routine has offered me.

This is a beautifully written and clear guide for parents in a minefield of uncertainty at a time of their lives when tiredness often takes the logical out of perspective. Charmian has helped guide may babies and parents into a safe and secure routine over more than 20 years.

Charmian is brilliant. She is so knowledgable and trustworthy, I used her services for 3 weeks for both of my children.

She gets them into a great routine, she really is an expert at feeding and digestion and takes the time to really understand your childs needs and she creates a bespoke routine for you.

I would not hesitate to recommend her to friends and family and she is worth her weight in gold. I have 2 very happy children.

Keep up the good work, we are huge Charmian fans and supporters!

Dangerous and out dated advice for any mum starting out with breastfeeding. Avoid avoid avoid

After having our first baby two weeks ago we were left confused and overwhelmed by conflicting advice given to us by doctors, health professionals and friends about everything from feeding, sleeping, winding, which routine to follow (if at all) etc. Charmian has been a ray of sunshine in
a world of opposing views and opinions. She is hugely knowledgable and experienced and her confidence handling small babies and working with new parents is impressive to say the least.

Within 24 hours of Charmian arriving with us our baby was waking only once during the night for a feed between 1am-3am (at less than 2 weeks old). He is happy and settled, feeding and sleeping well (as are we) and we are looking forward to having him sleeping through the night in the coming weeks.

Charmian's approach centres around babies digestion and her knowledge of new borns feeding needs/habits and new borns specific digestion issues and requirements has proved invaluable in helping us create and implement a tailored feeding plan to suit our baby.

The Sleeping Baby Routine inspires confidence in new parents, it is easy to follow and provides a great balance of structured days with baby led nights, she encourages skin on skin cuddles with your baby (which we love)! She gives variations to her routine acknowledging individual differences and providing room for compromise. This book is a must read for any new parents who are looking for a well balanced approach to getting your baby sleeping through the night.

Can't recommend this highly enough, so many of my friends and I have used Charmians techniques to great effect, an absolute bible for anyone with children wanting a peaceful and happy family.

Charmian is beyond doubt, the most incredible baby sleep trainer. Her book is clear and concise and all 3 of my children slept through the night from very early on and are still good sleepers to this day thanks to her routine. Thank you Charmian, your skills and expertise have quite literally made the whole process of having newborns an absolute joy for my husband and me!

Charmian Mead is truly a miracle worker! She is incredibly focused and adores babies, Her Sleeping baby routine works, but it only works if us as parents work with her and take on board her advice. I would recommend her to every new parent, and to order her book, I have today at Waterstones. Well done Charmian Mead!

Charmian was recommended to us by a close friend who sang her praises. I was initially sceptical and spent the first few days questioning her about her methods. Within days, I was a complete convert and both of our children were sleeping through the night by 7-8 weeks old. I cannot recommend her advice and routine more highly - she went on to work for a number of close friends, all of whom raved about her - both first time and second/third time parents. Her techniques are simple, easy to understand and logical and are not just focused on sleep but how to feed, when to feed - both of which are fundamental to helping new-born babies sleep. My wife and I learnt to keep quiet listening to other parents talk about 3-4 hours of sleep with 3-4 months old babies - we were too embarrassed to say that our children would sleep 11-12 hours every night without fail, night after night. The habit persists - they are now 4 and 3 and are fantastic sleepers - a common habit with Charmian trained babies.

I used the sleeping baby routine for both my children and it was amazing. They were sleeping through the night in no time and thankfully so was I. A must read to keep your santity.

Amazing, life-saving book with fantastic advice enclosed - essential for all new parents and those expecting!

Charmian came to help us for three weeks when our twin girls were 5 weeks old. By 6 weeks, she had them sleeping through from 7-7. While there was the odd night of regression, our girls sleep happily through the night, love their naps are incredibly content babies. This routine works! It is hard, but contemplating the alternative doesn’t bare thinking thinking about! Not only is this routine about helping babies to sleep, it’s about digestion, winding, the right sleeping environment and so much more. The routine is simple to follow and as you become more used to it you fall into a routine of your own. My girls definitely know their routine and love it. They’re happy girls who enjoy their feeds and awake time and nap contentedly. No screaming babies- I really can hand on heart say that! Charmian is BRILLIANT. Incredibly knowledgable, kind, caring, and so experienced. She has set our girls up for life.

Charmian helped me remotely to get my 8 week old into a routine and sleeping better at night. Within five days my little girl woke once in the night and then remarkably 12 hours after the second week! This was hard work as I previously had been breastfeeding on demand. My daughter took to the routine well and is clearly a happier baby! Feeding was a learning curve with so much winding which I hadn't been doing before. Charmian's routine is based around digestion which makes sense for a good nights sleep. Best money I ever spent!

Charmian came to help me with my second baby after finding the sleepless nights torture with my first. The Sleeping Baby Routine is brilliant and flexible to fit with my older child’s routine. By week six Teddy was sleeping through most nights and Charmian remained a constant support to help tweak the routine once she had left.
I would recommend Charmian’s routine to anyone wanting sleep but a routine which results in a happy, thriving and well adjusted child.

Look into your baby's sleep specialist with great care and consideration. We wish we had. After finishing with us we had to call in the very top specialist out there, believing this one had been, who had to work on severe issues left behind I.e association from force feeding, etc. It was a terrible time in our lives. Just be careful.

Charmian came to us and implemented the sleeping baby routine very shortly after the birth of our third child and I can honestly say she made the experience of welcoming a new addition truly wonderful and a smooth transition for the whole family. My little boy has slept solidly though the night (7-7) since he was 8 days old, he is now 10 weeks old and we haven’t looked back! Charmian’s depth of knowledge when it comes to newborns is unbelievable and I have learnt so much. This is especially impressive considering this was my 3rd child and I thought I knew it all! I had used other well known routines with my first 2 however Charmian’s routine has ensured our baby has been a predictable happy, sleeping little boy from day 1. The routine is also flexible so I was able to adapt it to fit around my girls which was important to us. I will certainly be buying Charmian’s book for all of my pregnant friends and family from now on, it should be an essential on everyone’s new baby lists.

Charmian came to us when our twin girls were 4 weeks old. She was highly recommended by some of the Mums in my local twins club. “Book her!” was the advice. Both girls (very different characters) amazingly were sleeping through the night, 7pm to 7am, by 7 weeks of age and are still brilliant sleepers now, they are almost 3. Unless they are feeling really poorly, they always sleep well. Charmian is a lovely, down-to-earth, caring lady, I really enjoyed her training us. We did have a little controlled crying in the beginning but for like 2 minutes and for only a few days. I think if you can start Charmian’s routine as early as possible, the better. In my opinion her brilliant expertise is sleep training newborns. For a newborn, I can’t recommend Charmian’s routine highly enough. Definitely buy her book and more importantly put the contents into action.

Charmian truly excels in her field as one of the best maternity consultants. She is caring, warm, professional and above all she has an incredible encyclopedic knowledge of infants. She had both my sons sleeping through the night well before their 3 month birthdays- that would be an uninterrupted 12 hours a night. I cannot recommend her routine highly enough!

This woman is a genius. She arrived when my daughter was 10 days old and helped me deal with a very hungry baby. We got into a solid, consistent routine which made my daughter secure, happy, well adjusted and a very good sleeper and eater. My daughter - now 11 months - remains an incredibly consistent sleeper - people even comment about how extraordinary her sleeping and napping is. If she wakes in the night or early in the morning or doesn’t go to sleep immediately she happily chats or sings to herself in her cot and always self settles. We are so grateful to Charmian for setting us up for a lifetime of good sleep!

Charmian thank you for getting my little baby daughter sleeping through the night from 5 weeks old, with no stress or screaming! My daughter is two now and still sleeps beautifully! You are amazing!
