Lullababy SOS Paediatric Sleep Specialist

I contacted Elaine after a friend posted about her with a rave review, so I booked an appointment for the same week. Our little one was an ok sleeper until we went on holidays, and for 2 months he would wake every 1-2 hours and would only feed to sleep. We were exhausted, stressed and our well-being started to become effected. I was stressed as I was starting work within in a couple of months. Within 4 days, our boy went from waking 7x per night to ONCE per night for a feed! Elaine was gentle when we were nervous and confident when we doubted ourselves. Most importantly for us, her approach is HANDS ON and NOT cry it out. I have been singing from the rooftops about how all of our sleep has improved, and I love how we are able to access Elaine for up to three week to ask as many questions as required! Thank you again, Elaine :)

I don’t know where to start!If you are considering using Elaine to regain your sleep and sanity, continue reading!I cannot put into words how fantastic Elaine and her methods are.From the initial phone call to my consult and throughout the follow ups, Elaine was knowledgeable, compassionate and quick to respond.My 3 month old daughter now sleeps in her cot and is able to link ALL of her sleep cycles.I am no longer anxious about my nap routine and putting my daughter to bed.Elaine gave me the tools and confidence to settle my daughter in her own bed.Do yourself a favour and give Elaine a call, you will not be disappointed!

Elaine completely changed our life in a matter of days. When we met her our baby wouldn’t go down without being held to sleep, he was waking several times through the night, often for hours at a time. I had tennis elbow from holding him for hours trying to get him to sleep. After following Elaine’s advice and simple strategies he was sleeping through the night from night one, I kid you not! He now self settles within 10 minutes every time with very minimal objection or upset. We feel rested for the first time in months and our baby is happy and contended in his new routine. We can’t thank Elaine enough for coaching us through this transition, I would recommend her to anyone and have already shared her details with several friends.

Elaine came highly recommended to us by friends and other mums and I cannot rate her enough. We did an overnight consult with her and our baby is sleeping so well. We have used Elaine for both our babies and would high recommend to anyone. Worth every cent. Elaine helped us get a routine that worked for our family. Thankyou so much Elaine for helping us get our sleep back and teach our babies how to sleep. So Grateful xx

STOP LOOKING! This is exactly what you need!I cannot express how much research and things I tried before reluctantly looking up a sleep consultant. What could they tell me that google couldn't? I'll tell you! A tailored schedule based our child's needs that would mean we actually have my life back. We booked in a consultation but decided to push it back after reading the booklet. (Can recommend.) This meant we tried everything Elaine recommended in her booklet and then our consultation wasn't us starting from zero but she edited the finer details to suit our 9month old and we finally got full nights sleep within weeks. She was so kind, so patient, so encouraging and looked not just at our life and schedule but his diet, environment and where our bub was up to in terms of development.FYI - we went from a 8 month old waking up every 2-3hrs to waking up twice in a night and by 9months he slept through the night.Seriously, just do it. I will never regret this decision.

This was the most incredibly smooth transition from a nightmare 2.5 years of very little sleep to 10 unbroken hours of sleepy bliss for the whole family. Elaine's methods were calm and her ability to really 'see' me and what I needed personally to be able to get my little boy to sleep through was so insightful. Our lives and health (mental and physical) are improving with each full nights sleep we all get! THANK YOU THANK YOU LullababySOS xxx

I was very hesitant to use a sleep therapist. I didn’t think it was applicable to us- all of my friends had used them but everything their sleep coaches said to them couldn’t apply to us and our living situation so I thought we were beyond help. Bub was already 10 months old, we didn’t have a spare room for her and I was very attached and anxious and couldn’t bare the thought of leaving her to cry and not being with her- she had also only ever slept on me, never alone and any time I tried to put her down on her own she would vomit and start to choke on her own vomit- very stressful. However sleep was becoming impossible- for all of us- I could tell she wasn’t thriving because of it and I was declining at a very steep rate. Basically as an intervention, my mum and sister booked Elaine to come to my house. I honestly didn’t think it would work..38 minutes! It took 38 minutes! She wasn’t alone- I was with her, touching her the whole time but within 38 she was asleep in her cot in our room. The next day her naps took 5 minutes of crying and within 2 days- nothing! She now points to her cot and leans into it when she’s tired and loves being in there. I can’t believe it took 38 minutes to change my family for the better. Within days she hit huge milestones, started eating way better and just seemed so much happier. It made me feel guilty not doing it sooner. She is now a great sleeper and my anxiety has completely dissipated. I didn’t understand that sleep training could be accommodating and gentle so if you are feeling hesitant for any of those reasons and stories you hear from others, don’t! Elaine is totally different and honestly saved us. We are 3 months on now and her sleep has not regressed, only strengthened. Could not be happier with Elaine and her service and thank god for mums and sisters who know you better than you know yourself!

Elaine is truly a miracle worker and I couldn’t recommend her more highly.I was happy with my 13 month old’s routine (settling in arms) and cosleeping (never sleeping in his cot) but I was worried about him starting daycare. I spoke to Elaine a week before he started. Literally overnight my little one was sleeping in his cot again and self settling. Overnight!! I’m not saying it then went without issue but Elaine’s support and follow up advice was like magic. It made me feel so much more confident in sending him to daycare and, in all honesty, despite me being happy with his sleep before, it’s been a game changer.First day of daycare and he self settled without issue. Achieved in just a few days.I’d sought other sleep advice and even done a residential previously but none of it worked as well as what Elaine offers through her online and phone support. It’s not without tears and the first night is hard (let’s face it, change is hard for all of us!) but Elaine clearly has a wealth of experience and works to understand your child so just knows exactly what you should to do support, gives you the knowledge to succeed and sets expectations well. She’s truly brilliant!

I don’t even know where to begin.Firstly Elaine is an absolute life saver.We went from bed sharing, being rocked and patted to sleep only, to now being able to put our son down in his cot and him be able to self soothe.His 30min catnaps at daycare have now turned into 1hr 30mins.110% would recommend.Can’t wait to speak with Elaine in a couple of months for a new routine schedule.
