MEET ALANAH (Stories from real families)
When Alanah was born she was a small baby weighing only 2.5 kgs. I felt so blessed to have her. From the beginning she often would not settle in her cot. I would hold her in my arms to sleep or at night have her sleep upright on my chest. This worked for me in the first few months as it meant I could rest too while she slept.
She was my first baby and I felt that it was not too much bother as long as she slept. As she got older though, the settling times became longer and I began to grow tired of the frequent night waking and constant resettling every time she woke. I began to fear sleep time and Alanah and I were grumpy due to the lack of sleep.
We felt so confident with ourselves as parents and went on to have two more gorgeous babies who turned out to be good sleepers because of the things that Carmel had taught us.
We would highly recommend that if you are having problems such as ours that you call Carmel. She has a lovely friendly persona and we never felt like she was lecturing us. It was the best investment we ever made.
