Passing one feed to your partner, or perhaps popping out would be nice, so you express and leave a bottle. Baby adamantly refuses to accept the bottle. This can be incredibly challenging and emotionally distressing for you. This is where we can help.

Just as you feel you’ve mastered regular milk feeding times and perhaps are gaining back some sleep, you have to start thinking about what can be the daunting weaning stage and all that comes with it. Weaning should be a fun, exploratory journey for both you and your baby and The Baby Guru will show you how this is possible.

what well rested parents say
"Sam worked with us at our own pace, and she helped us progress to the next stages of her approach when we were all comfortable and felt ready to.
It took us just over 2 weeks to go through all the stages, though we saw huge improvements after just the first couple of nights. She has been (and still is) a great source of reassurance and knowledge."
Becky - Mum to Jesse age 8 months
"When we reflect back to the start of our journey with Sam to where we are now, the transformation is astonishing.
​
The difference it has made to our life's and Harry is truly transformational.
We would highly recommend Sam to anyone, she's empathetic, supportive and extremely knowledgeable. If you're struggling with your little ones sleep, reach out to Sam today, you won't regret it."
Nicki - Mum to Harry age 6 months
"Life changing!! I couldn’t have been happier with Sam. My then 6 month old boy was waking up multiple times through the night and only contact napping.
Since day one this changed to once per night and napping in his cot and 4 days later he slept through the night. We are now a few weeks in and he is consistently and happily sleeping the night. Thank you!!"
