Oliver’s sleep routine was erratic from birth. Even now at 4 years old, he would wake every few hours wanting a variety of things to settle him including me having to stay in his room till he went back to sleep again. Then up for the day at 3 or 4 am.
He and I were then always grumpy/tearful/tired. We all felt depressed.
For Oliver the word ADHD was bounded about but I truly believed if he got enough proper sleep his behaviour would rectify itself. The Sleep Clinic understood my situation completely and said they could definitely help.
Juliet, my sleep consultant, had such a calm, knowing manner, she made me feel completely at ease and confident. I didn’t feel embarrassed about fessing up to the strange things we do to get our children to sleep! She didn’t seem fazed by it at all. Her spoken instructions and written programme were so easy to follow.
Oliver, Michael and I responded amazingly well! On the first night Oliver slept 11 1/2 hours solid…..and ever since! He is a changed child. We are all so much happier. Life can go on now. Thank you Millpond Sleep Clinic … oh and The Sleep Fairy!
