Case Study: Waking 10 times a night to 12 hour sleep
How Mason, 7mths, went from waking 10 – 15 times a night to sleeping for 12 hours!
When I first met Mason he was only having 2 short naps, anything from 20minutes and 1hour duration, and waking between 10 to 15 times a night. Mum, Hannah, was exhausted and resorted to taking Mason to bed with her, desperate for sleep.
A rock/feed to sleep association had developed which was making it difficult for Mason to sleep without assistance. We needed to teach this little man to settle by himself so if he did wake he had the skills to get himself back to sleep independently.
We initially looked at Mason’s daily schedule and his age appropriate awake windows. Getting the timing of these right meant we no longer had an overtired baby on our hands. An overtired baby will fight sleep and wake often, the very thing we were trying to fix.
Hannah was ready to try anything to get more SLEEP! We decided to use ‘Space Soothing’ to support Mason and his quest for more sleep!! Once Hannah had my support, and the confidence to implement this method, she was consistent with the plan from the word go.
Within TWO nights Mason was going to sleep by himself and sleeping all night! Within 10 days nights were fantastic and his day naps were on target. There was the occasional ‘hiccup’ which can be typical with any sleep training method, it is to be expected and totally normal. As long as the response is always consistent bub will typically get back on track.
Why did we see results so quickly?
- A clear, easy to follow, age appropriate sleep plan was provided by Precious Slumber, with step by step instructions and information.
- Constant and immediate feedback was provided
- Hannah was committed, consistent and showed 100% perseverance.
She was an absolute star!
And Mason did a great job as well!!
There is nothing I love more than to hear this:
“Before Chris’s help, I was co sleeping with my son who was waking more than 10 times a night. Chris gave me the skills to teach my son to self soothe and have a safe sleeping space. My son now sleep 12 hours a night!”
