You can start a bedtime routine as early as 2 weeks if you would like to, but certainly by 6 weeks it’s worth having a short and simple routine in place.

My only regret is that we didn't come to Laura sooner.
We went from having no evening as my daughter wouldn't settle until 10pm, then wake again at 2 and take hours to settle again to our daughter being asleep by 7.30 and sleeping through the night.
We also had problems with naps, my daughter only sleeping for 40 minutes at a time and taking up to an hour to get to sleep. She now sleeps for up to two hours and is asleep within 15-30 minutes. Laura listened to our problems and really got to the root of them. She made recommendations but was clear that if we didn't think it would work with our routines (we have an older child attending school so we have to be out of the house at certain times and our youngest attends nursery so we need to take that routine into account) we could try something else. She was also clear that she didn't recommend anything which she wouldn't do herself with her child. Laura is really knowledgeable and explained why our daughter behaved the way she did and what was going on physiologically. Once we started making the recommended changes to her routine, we saw a difference in our daughters sleep within a week, with further improvements in the second and third weeks.
Laura is really supportive, easy to speak to and get along with. She didn't judge, listened with empathy and we are all the better for her help. Thank you!

I cannot recommend Laura enough. I have been sleeping all night in bed with my 2.5 year old for 7 months and could not leave the room. He also woke everyday between 4am and 5am and didnt go back to sleep. I tried everything and was at my whits end. Within a few days he was sleeping independently. It was also a gentle approach and we didn't even have many tears or any stress to either of us. Absolute miracle worker. For weeks he has been sleeping though until his grow clock lights up at 6am. Life changing for me and my family.
Thanks so much Laura
Lots of love Charlotte x

Laura was so kind and non judgemental which was great. She was the happy medium between sleep training methods that we needed (not too harsh or too soft). She held us to account which meant we stuck to the plan but she understood when life got in the way. She gave realistic and simple advice that works. We would definitely recommend her to everyone. Our son now goes to sleep with no rocking/feeding and sleeps until morning with no fuss.

A phrase I have regularly used when describing Laura is "the baby sleep whisperer". From the word go Laura was just such a good listener, I felt no judgement over sleep habits had formed due to severe reflux for George, from here everything was approached so calmly and in an easy and logical way. Laura genuinely has given me the chance to just take a step back and assess more closely what steps I could do to help George learn such a big skill of how to sleep. It sounds so simple, but in my sleep deprived haze I just couldn't see what small changes that could be made to improve all of our sleep. My first child had been no bother with sleep, so I had naively thought my second would be the same. As parents you are constantly told "every child is different" but when it came to sleep, it really was like chalk and cheese in terms of the differences of what both my children required when it came to sleep. Laura was so reassuring and calm, that even after just one consultation I felt instantly more confident that not only George could do it, but so could I as his mother. George was initially needing to be rocked to sleep, constantly pulled at my hair to self settle and would then wake on average around 3am-4am every day. Through Laura' advice we now have a 10 month old who not only sleeps from 7pm through to 6am every day, he is also much easier to put down for day time naps. We honestly cannot thank Laura enough for all her advice and care. Just wonderful.

Laura was very kind, understanding, professional & supportive. She helped me move baby Isla from only going to sleep for me to dad being able too get her down too now which has helped enormously!! Laura has also helped us get our sleep and room back with our 6 year old. Izzie now sleeps in her own room and isn’t waking in the night. She also doesn’t need us to sit with her any longer to fall asleep. Beyond grateful! Thankyou !

Laura is an excellent sleep consultant , she advised me to get a light that would help my toddler sleep and know when to wake. She even helped me teach my daughter how to fall asleep on her own and through the entire night. My daughter is 20 months and not once did she sleep through the entire night till I meet Laura.
The even crazier part is that she did this all the way from the UK and I am in the USA.
She was so patient and sweet with me and always answered all my crazy messages.
Thank you for all you do. Highly recommended!!
