The Sleeping Baby Routine Reviews 

I honestly can’t recommend you enough! I was incredibly nervous and apprehensive before starting, but you came highly recommended by a friend, so we decided to trust the process, follow all of your advice, and give it our best shot.

The results were beyond anything we expected. We started seeing improvements by day two, which felt like a miracle, and by day three our baby was sleeping from 7pm to 7am. After five months of broken sleep, I finally had a full night’s rest and honestly felt like a brand new person.

The support and guidance throughout the process were exceptional. Everything was explained so clearly, and both my husband and I felt supported every step of the way during the five days. It was such a positive experience from start to finish.

We’re absolutely blown away by the results and will be recommending you to all of our friends and family. Thank you so much for your kindness, expertise, and support throughout this journey! it has genuinely changed our lives.

We are so fortunate to have used Charmian Meads sleeping baby routine to help both our children be able to sleep through the night. All we can say is how grateful we are and we couldn’t recommend her more!

With our first child, we used Charmians book and by 10 weeks old our daughter was sleeping through the night! Her detailed explanations regarding feeding, digestion, naps and active awake periods really made sense in practice and we were able to apply all this information to our situation successfully. The tables of routine times were really useful to help us establish our own and allow for the flexibility we wanted.

Come second time round, our son was 16 weeks old and still waking 3-4 times in the night. We had gotten into the bad habit of snack feeding every two hours, feeding to sleep and for comfort and bad napping during the day. The exhaustion was so much that we just couldn’t get back on track on our own.

We signed up for the 2 week program with Charmian, and it was the best decision we made! The 2 weeks allowed enough time for thorough investigation, change making and implementation along with tweaks.

In this time, with Charmians help, we established a routine with set feeding and nap times, introduced weaning and cut the bad habit of feeding to sleep and for comfort. From the first day we already saw improvements, and gradually by day 8 our son slept through the night for the first time!!

Working with Charmian was such a pleasure! Given the fact that this program was online should be more credit to her and her work. Her attention to detail really shows her experience and genuine love for her job and wanting to help families. For example, she would request videos of meal times and asked to see the consistency of the food as well as the amounts per spoon.

We ended the 2 weeks with a feeling of gratitude, relief, happiness and so much less sleep deprived than when going in!!
Thank you so very much Charmian for bringing our family back on track!

I cannot thank Charmian enough, she has helped me with both my children in so many ways. My 2.5 year old slept through the night thanks to using her incredible book but then suddenly started waking in the night after years of sleeping through and within 2 days was back to it thanks to Charmian’s tweaks and tips to her day. Then the 5 day support for my 6.5 month old son was so helpful as I needed the extra help each day to tweak things to stop his night feeds and drop the dummy and it worked again within 2 days. She is so kind, attentive, incredibly understanding and supportive and so easy to chat too, her knowledge and experience is brilliant. I would highly highly recommend using her services

Charmian is truly one of a kind. She has guided us through routines, feeding etc for all 3 of our children, most recently our baby born in February 2026. She is extremely knowledgeable and experienced. Not only did she discover our 3rd baby had a tongue tie, she genuinely supported us every step of the way; from specialist recommendations to getting us an appointment asap to recovery post procedure. Offering emotional support when needed. She truly cares!

Her routines are gentle but effective, focusing on feeding. She really understands babies; she tailors her approach to the individual baby and does not encourage or suggest any cruel methods. She is extremely thorough, she looks at the full picture and we have never felt her advice made our children unsafe.
Thanks to following her techniques and advice, we have avoided regressions and our babies have thrived.

We have recommended her to so many friends and family, even going as far as gifting her services to close friends because we truly believe in what she does.

She has honestly changed our lives as parents for the better. Thanks to her support, our children are great sleepers and we love that she offers different levels of support, be it the newborn stage, weaning, toddler etc to help whatever issues you may face. So far we have found each level of support beyond useful! I cannot recommend her enough.

Charmian was quite frankly the best thing my husband and I have spent money on since having our twins. We enlisted her services (5 day support) for our 3 month old twins and it was an absolute gamechanger.

We had a call with her at 4pm and implemented changes that evening and on that very night went from our previous 3 feeds a night to 1 feed. By the end of the 5 days our twins were sleeping 7pm - 7am through the night.

Previously my twins had been crying all the time, were sleepy during the day yet never settling for naps and using dummies most the day and night - to the point that if the dummy fell out we'd be running to pop it back in which at night time was a real issue as they wouldn't sleep without it. We were also on the verge of splitting them up into seperate rooms to see if it would help things. By the end of our time with Charmian my babies have never smiled so much, cried so little, slept so well together and the dummies which we were really concerned about have all but disappeared. Charmian also diagnosed a tongue tie in both my girls which lactation consultants, health visitors, infant feeding teams, midwives and doctors had all missed and since having it fixed our feeds have been so much better.

Charmian has not only supported us with implementing a routine but has indirectly helped my relationship with my babies and I feel the happiest I have been since my babies were born. I have already recommended her to anyone I know with babies / due to give birth - my sister booked her immediately after me and also had success with her 4 month old. I will definitely enlist Charmians guidance again if I hit any future hurdles with my twins. If you are struggling with routines / sleep / feeding do not hesitate to book her!

One million out of ten. We booked Charmian's sleep package when we were getting close to breaking point with our daughter's sleep. We had done a decent amount of reading and thought we were following the consensus on how to achieve good sleep (putting down fully awake etc) but couldn't seem to move past 2/3 hourly wake-ups overnight which seemed to be getting worse. Within less than 24 hours Charmian had our daughter sleeping 9-10 hour stretches overnight, with her doing full 12 hour nights without intervention by the end of the week. We couldn't believe it and couldn't be more grateful. Worth every penny!

I had the pleasure of working with Charmian Mead for my third baby, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. We completed two remote consultations at week2 and week 5 followed by an in-home stay week 6 and 7 and the impact was truly transformative for both my baby and our family. At the end of week one of the remote consultation we had already cut one nightwaking!

Charmian took a very thoughtful and practical approach, with a strong focus on creating a seamless transition into life with three children. My baby was extremely hungry, unsettled, and never wanted to be put down, which was understandably challenging. Charmian not only helped establish a structured and sustainable routine, but also supported me in boosting my milk supply, which made a significant difference.

By the end of our time together, my baby had transformed into a happy, content little boy who could engage in self-play and feed efficiently. Her emphasis on a consistent daytime routine was key in improving sleep we quickly moved to solid nights, with just one early morning wake around 5am that gradually shifted later over time.
What truly sets Charmian apart is her depth of knowledge, her calm and nurturing approach with babies, and her unwavering support for mothers during the postpartum period. She is incredibly kind, reassuring, and empowering, and I felt completely supported throughout the process.
I am so grateful for her guidance and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for expert, compassionate support.

Charmian is absolutely fantastic, we have worked with her twice now with both of our children. Our son is now three years old and he’s always been an excellent sleeper from the beginning thanks to Charmian. Our daughter is now 10 weeks old and is already sleeping 11/12 hours. Long may it continue. I would highly recommend Charmian for any sleep issues or anyone expecting a new baby. Thank you Charmian for all the additional hours of sleep!

Charmian felt very much a partner in achieving your goals throughout m she was invested in exploring different causes of night waking and put a rigorous plan in place to understand milk supply, food intake etc. She is firm in her advice which had clear improvement in impact from day 1 and within 24 hours the night wakings were reduced to one small feed. Would highly recommend for completw routine, sleep and feeding advice.

Working with Charmian has got our lives back on track. Our daughter’s sleep was making functioning in the day and work a real challenge.
After one day of working with her, Poppy was sleeping through the night! I love how straightforward she made the process - every change to the routine is substantiated by explanation and she’s constantly reviewing with you to see where tweaks may need to be made to personalise it the plan for your specific needs. I’d been recommended Charmian and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to other people! We feel like we’ve got our lives back.

Charmian comes highly recommended, and for good reason. Her insights into our daughter’s sleep have revolutionized both our daytime and nighttime routines. During the consultation, Charmian looked at the ‘whole picture’—including diet and daily habits—to identify the root cause of our challenges. Within just a week, we saw incredible improvements. We now have clarity and structure where there was once only ambiguity. Thank you, Charmian!

A total game changer for us. I was initially reluctant to sleep train, believing that I should simply follow my seven month old’s rhythms and feeding cues. But I was struggling in myself with broken sleep, and it turns out reliable routine makes my baby happiest too. Charmian helped us find a nap and feeding schedule that we could stick to and which suits him, and he instantly began sleeping through the night with no “cry it out” needed. And I’ve never seen my baby so happy and full of energy in the daytime. Charmian has three decades of experience and it truly shows… talking to her is like running your question through a complex data model to find the precise and unique setup your baby needs. Truly worth every penny and I could not sing her praises more highly.

We have had another brilliant experience with Charmian, her support packages are invaluable.

She helped us get our daughter sleeping 7-7 in 2023, and then we booked in with her again for our son this year, who has also been sleeping 7-7 before turning 3 months old.

We booked in with her both times when our babies were around 4 weeks old, which felt like the right time for us to establish a structured routine. However, she can help you whatever stage you are at.

Friends and family can’t believe that despite us having two young children, we are not sleep deprived!

Many friends of ours have used night Nannies when they had young babies, however, in our eyes this is just kicking a can down the road as you need to teach your baby to sleep well using Charmian’s no-cry plan.

I just wish I knew about her earlier!

Her course was an absolute game changer. Cannot recommend highly enough - my new go to gift for pregnant friends will be her book for sure.
As a second time mother, I didn’t want to go through what we went through with our first which was a struggle with sleep. For the health of our family, we needed our 2nd to be able to sleep on time and in his own crib. Yes, I loved contact naps and snuggles with my baby before I knew it he was 10 weeks old only sleeping on me and having to be nursed to sleep all time - cosleeping I just couldn’t get anything done! I was beyond exhausted and felt like I’ve been neglecting my eldest daughter because I couldn’t spend time with her as he needed to sleep on me all the time.

Charmians method is gentle, although you really do need to clear your diary for those five days. The results were instant. Our 4 month old within 24 hours, was sleeping in his crib and by the end of the week he slept through the night 12 hours. This massively helped us when we went on holiday the week after and from now on I can start to get things done and cope with her busy demands of motherhood.

If you want your baby to sleep, then her method really works and it is a gentle approach which looks into every holistically not just routine. She really knows her stuff when it comes to children and babies.

Could not recommend more- thank you Charmian!

I bought Charmian’s book before I even gave birth and successfully implemented many of her techniques when establishing my toddler’s sleep as a baby. Her approach immediately resonated with me and gave me the confidence to build strong sleep foundations from the very beginning.

Everything was going well until my son started nursery and I returned to work. At that point, his wake windows needed adjusting and, without realising, we slipped into a sleep regression. We were dealing with 5am wake-ups, nap resistance and increasingly difficult days. I knew I needed expert support — and there was no question that Charmian was the person to turn to.

Within just five days, the transformation was remarkable. Instead of early mornings and overtiredness, my toddler woke up at 7am — in fact, I actually had to wake him because he was sleeping so well. The impact this has had on our entire household cannot be overstated.

Charmian was incredibly supportive throughout, offering clear guidance, reassurance and practical advice that genuinely works. This isn’t about quick fixes — it’s about understanding your child’s needs, creating the right routine, and supporting healthy sleep in a way that benefits their development long term.

This is, without question, money exceptionally well spent. You’re investing in your child’s sleep, their development, and the overall wellbeing of your family. The results speak for themselves.

If you are struggling with your child’s sleep, do not hesitate. Charmian’s support is truly life-changing, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

I am still in a bit of shock at how much our lives have changed since we started with Charmian. As a mother, all I wanted to do was enjoy my baby, but the level of sleep deprivation we were all experiencing made this near impossible. We were all close to breaking point. To make matters worse, we were told to seek medical advice by someone who made us believe something was wrong with our baby (5 months old). This lead us down an anxiety inducing road that led to our baby being prescribed medication and being unable to start weaning until we had got to the bottom of his allergies (which turns out he never had!) and even when we started weaning, we would have to be do it with a dietary specialist (taking all the joy out of starting solids!) . On top of this, I had become scared to eat anything in case my breast milk was causing irritation for our baby, which was making me even more of a miserable, anxious wreck….! I truly believe Charmian entered our lives as an angel! The same day I saw the doctors, I happened to speak to Charmian, who told us about some other options we could consider. I am SO PLEASED we went down charmians path first. I booked in with her that Monday, and we saw massive transformations in our baby from the first day. It still feels like magic to be honest. Our baby is thriving - feeding so well, and most importantly sleeping sooooo well (through the night !) he is a different baby - relaxed, joyful, constantly babbling away. I could go on and on about how incredible Charmian is - she has changed our lives. Just wish we had found her sooner. If we have another baby, we will be booking with her instantly. I still can’t quite believe how close we were to going down a medicalised route with strong medication for our little baby, that he never actually needed. He was just hungry! Thank you so so much Charmian.

After a holiday where we shared a room with our toddler, we suddenly found ourselves back in a sleep battle.he wouldn’t settle unless we stayed with him, despite previously sleeping 7–7 independently since doing Charmian’s training at 6 months.

We reached out to Charmian and she was incredible. She understood our situation immediately and gave us a calm, gentle plan that felt totally manageable. Night one took a little time, night two he was asleep within 10 minutes and slept through, and by night three he was back to his happy, confident self settling independently.

Truly life-changing support. we’re so grateful and can’t recommend her enough.

I reached out to Charmian for help and advice for our 18 months toddler who was insisting on sleeping in our bed, waking up multiple times during the night and being fussy eater. Over the course of 5 days, she worked miracles helped him sleep through the night in his own cot and eat much better at mealtimes too. She used her wealth of knowledge to help guide us through making the necessary changes to his routine. We are so incredibly grateful for all her amazing advice and support, and it’s made such a difference to our quality of life and sleep too. Thank you so much Charmaine! X

We recently worked with Charmian when our 5-month-old was struggling to self-settle, waking every 1–2 hours overnight, and only contact napping. From our very first conversation, Charmian was incredibly understanding and reassuring. She truly listened, took the time to understand my concerns, and helped us troubleshoot each challenge with patience and care.

Drawing on her wealth of experience, Charmian created a plan that felt completely tailored to our baby’s changing needs and our family’s routine. Her confident, knowledgeable guidance has completely transformed our little one’s sleep — our baby now sleeps 11 hours at night and naps independently!

Charmian also supported us as we began weaning, making what could have been an overwhelming stage feel simple and achievable, even while tackling sleep at the same time. She guided us through every stumbling block with wisdom and a deep understanding of different babies’ needs.

We’re so grateful for her support and can’t recommend Charmian highly enough. She’s made such a positive difference to our baby’s sleep and to our whole family’s wellbeing.

Charmian was a game-changer for our twin girls' sleep routine. She helped transition us from a 3-hour feeding schedule to a balanced routine of feeding, sleep, and play — and now the girls are sleeping through the night! It felt like an intense baby bootcamp at times, but I learned so much about feeding, digestion, safe sleep, and calming techniques. Thank you, Charmian, for your guidance, support, and expertise! We are so grateful!
