Domenic was waking frequently in the night. He wanted a dummy, rocking, feeding and swinging to stay asleep. He also liked to be swaddled. Mum and Dad owned their own business that was run from home. Domenic shared a room with his parents but they wanted him to share a room with his sister when he could sleep through. Mum had previously purchased a lion with a heartbeat and played white noise. These products did not work for Domenic.
Once Domenic started his Sleepytime Program, on night 7, Domenic slept through the night.
“My first child was a terrible sleeper and I didn’t get a decent night sleep till after her second birthday!! When my son came along I tried a few different things but he was showing signs of being just like his big sister. Thanks to everything Janelle taught me I have become a more confident mum, she has taught me a lot. I should definitely be getting a lot more sleep this time around. You’re an Angel Janelle, thank you! ”– Nicole and Wayne Faranda
Harrison was waking up to four times night either calling out for a bottle of milk or visiting his parents in their bed. Lucas’ naps were very inconsistent during the day. During the night he would wake every 2.5-3hrs wanting to be fed back to sleep. Harrison and Lucas were brothers and they were both struggling to sleep independently. Mum had read a couple of popular sleep books and she had also spoken to her health nurse but nothing had changed.
On night 9 of the Sleepytime Program, Harrison went to bed without any fuss and he slept through from 7:30pm to 6am the next morning. By night 14 Lucas’ naps had improved and he too was sleeping through the night.
“We are over the moon! Janelle has completely changed our lives. We all sleep now! Straight through! Harrison 2.5 yr old and Lucas 6.5 month old. Harrison was completely dependant on a bottle to get back to sleep- sometimes he would have 4. Yes 4 bottles and co-slept with us. Lucas was waking newborn style with feeds to get back to sleep. NOT ANYMORE !! 2 weeks each the boys needed. It was tough but the results are amazing!! Highly recommend Janelle.” – Stephanie and Ben Pomatti
There was a period of time when Aria used to sleep through. Aria suddenly became very attached to mum and was suffering from separation anxiety. This anxiety made it difficult for Aria to sleep without mum being there with her. Mum owned her own business and worked 3-4 days a week. Aria was cared for by her grandparents and childcare on those days. Dad worked long hours and could not be involved with the program. Early on Mum has attended a day stay at a sleep school. She had recently tried a few techniques but they had not worked.
On night 6 or Aria’s Sleepytime Program, she began to self-settle without any intervention from her mum.
“Janelle has been a godsend! I approached Janelle via a fellow mum’s recommendation on Facebook. From Day 1 Janelle was there to support me and taught me how to respond to my daughter and teach her how to sleep without me! Whenever I had a question or concern, Janelle was there. I’m Sydney based and was hesitant about the distance, however with FaceTime, phone and email- it all worked. I’m sure I’ll work with Janelle when it’s time for the ” big girl” bed.” – Liana Lorenzato
