The Sleep Dept

We used The Sleep Dept recently with our 7 month old. He needed a dummy and to be rocked to sleep for every nap. Every time he woke, in the night, 5 mins after we just got him sleep and on and on. It was intense.Our consultant was Samm, and on day 1 of the programme we started to see results! She was so knowledgeable, kind and supportive and was with us every step of the way. Bub was soon self settling and everything else started to fall into place soon after.We would highly recommend The Sleep Dept.

I am a return customer of Renee’s.My first time working with Renee I had a 9 month old who was feeding hourly all night, to sleeping through in 3 days. We had a super successful time sleep training and spoke so highly of Renee and her skill level for 2 years!The second time I worked with Renee, was for my 5 month old. He could not self settle or resettle which stressed me and took me away from my 3 year old. Every day was a battle and I was not coping. Sleep training my 5 month old was difficult to say the least, we had multiple sicknesses and teething at the same time. However within ONE DAY my baby learnt to self settle. Learning to resettle was the hardest, but Renee stuck by me, even when I felt like I was failing. Renee propped me up, and kept reminding me that I could do it! We stripped everything back and saw success after 3 weeks. I now have a beautiful sleeper who can self settle and resettle. We have a healthy established routine during the day and our nights have had a massive improvement.Thank you Renee, for everything!

Incredible. Bree changed our lives.I was hesitant to sleep train but things go so bad and I wasn't coping - three months later and I am able to confidently put him down for naps and bed and 99% of the time he goes to sleep without any issues. A completely different baby and we are all so much happier for it.

I CANNOT even begin to express my gratitude to The Sleep Dept! I have used them twice now once 4 years ago when owned by Erika and now for my second bub I worked with Samm and both times I feel like my sanity was saved! That sounds dramatic I know but when you are sleep deprived you really do feel like you’re loosing your mind! Samm was so amazingly patient and helpful, answered my 5000 questions and was always there with encouragement and support! I did the package A both times and it is worth every cent! The level of support is just unbelievable! Both my girls were very different sleepers so I needed to do different things for both of them and now I feel like I am able to enjoy my day knowing the routine and I am able to enjoy my beautiful, happy, well rested darling daughter again! We went from catnaps, contact sleeping, bed sharing, and taking 2 hours to rock, sing, sway bub to sleep (only for her to wake 20 mins later) to going to sleep independently, in her own cot and sleeping for hours at a time!Thank you so so so much Samm! I will be forever grateful to you! If you are on the fence about what to do, book in with The Sleep Dept! I promise you, you won’t regret it!

Highly recommend. We purchased a three hour home visit package and worked with Samm, who was amazing throughout the whole process.It completely changed the way we settled and resettled our 6 month old. We went from rocking to sleep for the better part of an hour, false starts and hourly/two hourly wakes to being able to help our son settle by himself in his cot with in minutes and sleep 4 - 5 hour stretches overnight - a huge improvement, especially as we chose to keep his dummy as a sleep aid (which causes more frequent wakes).Samm was patient and constantly helped to troubleshoot our son's routine until things were humming along nicely. We're very grateful for her support!

We are so thankful the Sleep Dept. was recommended to us. Our 9 month old daughter’s night sleep had been inconsistent for months, sometimes waking every 1-2 hrs overnight. My husband and I were exhausted to say the least. Olivia provided daily guidance and support for 2 weeks and our daughter quickly learnt to self settle. Olivia was knowledgeable, supportive and kept us on track. We now feel like we have the tools to manage our daughter’s sleep if and when it goes off track. Thank you!

We had an initial consultation with Bree from The Sleep Dept about starting to sleep train our 12 month old. She was fantastic, helped us with strategies that we were comfortable with, asked all the questions to ensure she was providing the right info , put us at ease answering all our questions about the process and was super responsive over emails after that initial phone call. Our boy was self settling himself within 2 nights and we introduced it to his day naps on day 4. I was anxious about this process but Bree was very reassuring and always made sure we were comfortable with her approach. I would highly recommend The Sleep Dept!

Cannot recommend The Sleep Dept enough.My sleep consultant was supportive, respectful, friendly and gave me the space I needed to develop my confidence handling My first baby’s sleep issues, while guiding me along the way.Owner Erika is very kind too, offering support if a follow up issue arises, despite not looking after clients herself officially.The care she shows is very genuine, she takes it personally to ensure her clients are able to make the most of the consultation so we can be better rested (hence better parents) and face the ever changing sleep needs of your baby.Thank you so much Erika, cannot speak highly enough of your service :)

We got in touch with The Sleep Dept when feeling overwhelmed with our 11 month old daughter’s sleep. She would only feed to sleep with mum, usually taking over 1.5 hours to get her down in her cot, only to wake up every other hour overnight. She would also get so worked up if anyone but mum tried to settle her to the point of making herself throw up!We worked one-on-one with Samm, from The Sleep Dept, to decide on sleep goals. We aimed to have our daughter settle to sleep in her cot by herself with minimal input from parents, be ok to be put down by either mum or dad, eliminate over night wakes and to stay in her cot all night.Samm gave us techniques and guided and encouraged us through a two week period to achieve our goals. Samm checked in with us each day and tweaked our techniques and routine as needed. Within the first few days she was being settled down for sleep by dad, sleeping the whole night in her cot and no longer needing to be fed to sleep.I (mum) was anxious to start as our daughter had been getting herself worked up within 5 minutes of us trying to change her routine in the past and would make herself sick. However, with the techniques, steps, consistency and confidence we gained working with Samm; we were able to guide our daughter through sleep training without any incidence of getting extremely worked up or throwing up.Our daughter has continued to do great with independent sleeping a couple weeks after we finished our formal support period.Overall, we are incredibly grateful we contacted The Sleep Dept for support and help with our daughters sleep. Truly feel their packages and support are well worth it.

I purchased a 1 Hour Consultation with The Sleep Dept and cannot recommend it highly enough. I was able to provide a thorough background of my child’s situation prior to the phone call so that I could make the most of the hour appointment. The advice I received has helped us achieve solid sleep at night but also maximum day sleep. I never thought it was possible however the support provided has been phenomenal for our family. It is worth every cent and more!
