As a hesitant parent, I was procrastinating sleep training because my twins were already 8 months old, as fraternal as they get (and subsequently, hardly in sync) with an abundance of bad habits (including pacifiers round the clock, being rocked to sleep with each nap and at bedtime, immediate parent soothing). I DREADED night time- It was a never ending ritual of using baby wraps, walking/rocking and singing... sometimes it would take hours. I'd been in survival mode since they were born and our bad habits seemed to get us through day to day so I was afraid to change anything... but little did we know, those little rituals were doing us more harm than good. I wish I had done this sooner, both for my girls' sake and my own sanity!
I hired Desiree after she was HIGHLY recommended to me by a friend who claimed her son was trained by 7 weeks old sleeping 7pm-7am without interruption. I remember thinking "Yeah, but that's one baby". Hah, I was wrong! Desiree has worked with triplets several times and has been doing this a long time. Just talking with her, it shows! She is an expert in her craft.
I tried the books, I read the articles, and I'd even implemented that knowledge when the girls were younger- but having someone available to text at the drop of a hat when you are feeling unsure or in need of guidance was invaluable. It's been a week in and the girls take about 10 minutes before they fall asleep independently and we often find them awake (and happy!) in their cribs when nap time is over. I no longer dread naps and bed time and I make the most of the girls' "awake time" which I feel has strengthened my relationship with them. They are HAPPIER babies which makes me a more than happier mama!
So I will gladly pass on the torch to another family in need....We HIGHLY recommend Desiree and her business. It was worth every penny!
