We are so very grateful to Margaret and her methods that have completely changed our lives for the better. Prior to Margaret’s visit I was up at least 7 times a night to resettle and breastfeed our 10 month old son, and during the day, we crept around on tiptoes and whispered for fear of waking the sleeping baby, but, after Margaret’s visit, our baby is now sleeping 12 hours a night, and 2 good sleeps during the day. Our son sleeps more peacefully, deeply and SO DO WE!!!! Even whilst cutting 6 teeth, and being miserable with a bad cold, he still maintained the wonderful sleeping habits! The only regret we have is not getting Margaret to our home sooner!!!!!!

Thank goodness for Marg…..
Our second child just refused to go for a sleep in the cot during the day and just loved his long boob feeds and slept through the night. So my stress & anxiety levels were right up there, and then I phoned Marg.Her advice, calming personality was fantastic. The hour consultation seemed like 3hours, and being able to phone her after her visit was brilliant.With each day, our little boy is steadily finding his sleepy times, snuggled in his cot. I too wished i’d phoned Marg earlier. Wow, what an incredible lady.

I find myself looking at this website with memories of sleepless night, arguments with my husband over who was getting up this time and rearranging the house so our baby wouldnt wake the 18month old! Luckily this time it’s not me who needs the sleep nanny but a friend in need.
We used Margarets services with both daughters. They are now 2 and 3 and sleep most night for 12 hours. After a visit from Margaret we felt we had the nessicary skills and direction to kick the bad sleep habits in the butt ! No more … “well lets try this tonight and if that doesnt work well we’ll try this tomorrow night”. We had a strategy and with our first daughter within 4 nights she sleep all night (she was 7 months). We got onto it a bit sooner with our 2nd. At 5 months she was a shocker ! Although we did need more than 1 visit from Margaret this time, as in her words “this one is a bit of a challenge”!. Eventually after sticking to the strategy we now have a pretty good 2 year old sleeper.
Margaret is attentive to sleep deprived mothers needs and our family is most greatful to her . Thank Margaret.

To the amazing sleep nanny…Marg.
I just wanted to send you an email to let you know that Arrabella is doing so so well and we are so grateful for your assistance.
Since you came for your visit we have found a new and much improved routine. Arrabella goes to bed at 7:30pm (instead of 9:30pm!) and sleeps through soundlessly until 7:30am.
We can’t believe what a difference your help has made to our lives and Arrabellas’. She is so much happier when she is awake, has more energy and sleeps for two solid kips during the day. She loves going to bed and is smiling when we put her into bed.
We have our life back, and it is so nice knowing at 7:30 at night, we get a break till morning! What can we say…You have made life a lot easier and much less stressful…. thank you thank you, thank you from us 3!

Margaret,
I just had to pass on my thanks again with regards to the advice and help you provided Alethea and I with our little girl Arlo.
Although I was unable to be at home at the time of your visit I have been very much ‘working to rule’ with Alethea passing on your sage advice and strategies.
And might I say what terrific effect they have had.
I am very serious when I tell you that with your help we have a completely new little girl compared to the one we’ve been dealing with over these past 12 weeks.
She is so much calmer and settled. She SLEEEEEEEPS, as do we, and this house is a happy home indeed.
Bless you Margaret and a huge thanks.
With kind regards

Dear Margaret,
We want to say a huge thank you for your invaluable advice in helping our little one sleep. It is now 10pm and Maidie has been very settled since being put down at 7. Maidie also now sleeps through to 7 in the morning, her day sleeps are longer and she has an improved routine. As a result, I have also found that Maidie’s feeds are of a better quality. Margaret, your calming nature and clear instructions made us feel very at ease with our plan of care for Maidie. Thank you too for the follow-up phone call and for making us feel welcome to contact you again if needs be.
Thank you once again,
Emma Webb and James Nelson

I will recommend your services to anyone that will listen. The difference your advise has made to our family is amazing, I was cranky and so was our little boy and I was taking my frustrations out on my 2yr girl insisting she make NO NOISE incase she woke him. My 4 month old son would only sleep in a rocker, car capsule or in our bed with breast in mouth. I struggle to put him to sleep every night and the earliest was 11.30pm and I average 3 hours sleep a night for seevral months now. We saw you on Friday and it’s been 3 days now and he slept in his cot each night with bedtime between 7.30-8.30pm and he is sleeping for approx 12 hours with a 15 minute feed in the night. Thank you Margaret, we are very grateful for your assistance.

Margaret, you have absolutely saved our lives! We hadn’t slept longer than 2 hours in a row for 9 months. We were re-settling a screaming Alexander almost every hour and he was was feeding for comfort throughout the night, making daytime feeds difficult. He was always grumpy and overtired, and we always felt like barely functioning zombies. The broken / lack of sleep was badly affecting every part of our lives and family.
But NOW, we all sleep through the night, Alexander is SO much happier and is feeding much better during the day. Your help was invaluable and we are amazed at how quickly your methods worked.
Thank you Thank you Thank you!
We are just over the moon!
Laura, Steve and Alexander

Marg,
Wow, what a difference you have made to our lives in just 90 minutes. Before your visit, 2.5 yr old Chloe refused to sleep in her own bed and often kept us up until after midnight, and refused to have a day time sleep also. We were exhausted and had tried a few different routines but nothing seemed to work.
And since your visit 6 days ago, Chloe has been asleep each night by 8pm in her own bed, with the door OPEN and hasn’t attempted to come out. She has also been having a 2hr daytime sleep each day and seems to be a much happier little girl. Not so many tantrums and grumpyness. She’s a new little girl!
We are so grateful for your help and advice.
Thank you so much!!

Hi sleep nanny, thanks so much for coming out and doing your magic on baby max. I got your message on Friday and haven’t had the opportunity to return your call. Max is now sleeping 12 hours every night and 2 two hour naps through the day!! We can just put him in his cot and he goes off to sleep all by himself – it’s pure heaven!!! No more patting or rocking him to sleep!! Lol . Thanks so much, you have given us such a wonderful gift – the beauty of a full nights undisturbed sleep is bliss! From Mel osman and baby Maximus
