we first heard about Alison when she appeared on a Channel 4 programme... we then found out that she was appearing at the Belfast baby show, so we went along to speak to her personally. we were not dissapointed. we purchased her book and started the plan when our daughter was only 1 week old.... by week 8 of the plan she had slept through the night for the first time... now she is 16 weeks old and she has constantly slept through the night for almost 2 month... we have never used any sleeping aids for her and she still sleeps for almost 12 hours a night....thank you Alison, we would recommend this book to every new mother/father and excisting parents for their 2nd, 3rd and 4th child

Our lives have been transformed! After five months of very little sleep, my husband and I had developed all sorts of bad habits (I believe they call it 'accidental parenting'!) I had bought loads of other books offering answers to sleep problems - none that worked for us - before I ordered this one in desperation. I was extremely nervous when we started sleep training but my baby took to it very well almost immediately. She had never slept in her own room before but she now loves stretching out in her cot. We are now five weeks on and Harriet is a much happier baby as she is getting the sleep she needs. I'm now the mummy I was meant to be too as I'm no longer sleep deprived and we have all settled into a routine that works for us. I feel good that I have taught my baby an important life skill. Alison, I can't thank you enough!

I brought this book after hearing great results from a couple of my nct friends, who had Alison to stay with them and help with their babies. The book is absolutely brilliant, it is so refreshing , down to earth, and very easy to read. I brought this book as my 10 week old son was waking continuously in the night, which was exhausting not only for myself but for him also. After reading the book in a night, implementing the sleep training technique and a daytime routine. my son took just 3 nights to sleep from 7pm until 7am! I could not believe the rapid result and we now have a very happy little man on our hands. Thank you Alison for putting your ideas and techniques into this wonderful book, which is worth its weight in gold!

Thank you so much Alison for all that you have done for our family this week. We were in so much shock to have a second baby with reflux and a toddler to deal with at the same time. You took everything in your stride and gave us the confidence to follow a plan that works for all of us - baby, toddler and parents alike. It was such a pleasure to share our family with you again and as usual you did it all in your own amazing supportive style. Thank you once again.

After only two conversations with Allison and buying her book, my 10 month old baby boy has slept through the night for the last two weeks! Something he had never done before. Thank you so much Allison. You have changed our lives.

After peaking to Alison about our 12month old daughter Emily's sleep issues she recommended we read her book concentrating on the chapter on Silent reflux. The book left us in no doubt that Emily had a silent reflux and we took her to a consultant and got this diagnosed and treated. Once we had dealt with the medical issue we then embarked on the sleep training and and after 5 nights we were able to put Emily into her cot and she would fall asleep herself and slept through the night and this has continued 5 months on. We can not thank Alison enough for literally changing all our lives, Emily no longer suffers with the reflux and we no longer suffer from sleep deprivation. I would say Alison's book is a must have for all parents.

Amazing! We saw immediate results after using the technique on the first nap! Can't recommend this book highly enough - thanks Alison!

My son is now 7 months old and has always been a reasonable sleeper, however I wanted to improve things when he was 12 weeks old and bought the book. It is absolutely fantastic and I have been basing my routines on it ever since (with our own personal touches) - my son now sleeps perfectly for his night sleep (full, unbroken 12 hours) and day naps and is always happy, bright and full of enthusiasm. Family life is a joy and I find myself getting very frustrated with other mums who complain about how 'difficult' their babies are, when 99% of the time it is their own inconsistencies that are the problem! This is the ultimate 'baby-centred' routine because it totally meets the baby's needs. I know 4 other mothers with babies on this routine and all have had success. The proof is in the pudding.

This book is life-changing! Having had Alison's book recommended to me when I was looking to start to get into more of a routine when Rupert was 9 weeks old, I followed the plan as soon as the book arrived. Within 3 days Rupert was sleeping through the night (and from day one he dropped all night feeds) and 3 weeks on he still sleeps through. We've just moved to 4 hourly feeds in line with the process Alison recommends in the book and this now gives us the flexibility and time to go to various classes, stay with grandparents with no issues and for me to ride my horse! And we are all happy and energetic for getting a good night's sleep. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Bed time is a fun time and there is no hanging around the cot once I've put him to down as he is happy to drop off by himself. I truly think he LOVES sleep. Nicola Byam-Cook, London

I purchased this book after having 7 months of being woken every 2 hours with my son who suffered from silent reflux. The book made so much sense and finally made me realise I was mad but my son was severely sleep deprived. It took us 7 days to crack his sleeping but it was well worth it and he is a different child. Thank you Alison for a fabulous book.

Hi! I'm a first time mother. Having read many books on baby sleep, I've initially made the mistake of "accidental parenting", including rocking baby to sleep and using a dummy. Initially it seems to work but soon I realize my baby wad having broken sleeps throughout day and night, resulting in a very overtired baby who seems superactive and tense! Having adopt the sleep technique from your book, my baby got through the first day and night without a dummy! Though some tears were shed but they decreased in duration and intensity for each subsequent scheduled sleep. And I'm definitely not on dummy duty anymore! Cheers! Will definitely share this amazing technique with others!

Alisons sleep plan is the way to go....forget dummies, forget bottles, you will get your sleep back...we went from an addictive soother baby to a sleeping baby who slept 12 hours the first night...amazing, thank you alison, the coffey family in italy

After no-one fully understanding Baby Reflux, also the strain it puts on the parents. Alison was just amazing for us, her knowledge is outstanding. What she passes on to your is her confidence in how to deal with your particular case. Leaving you in the right frame of mind to do the tough work ahead. Like quitting smoking, you have to be fully ready to commit to some of the tougher parts of the plan, but it works!! we changed our son around in 2 weeks. We can only sing praises for her and what she is about. Our son has gone from a baby in pain all day, to a happy, content, smiley, 11 hr sleeping baby. Thanks You "the magic sleep fairy" x x x

Thank you so much for your book! We followed your advice from day 1 and our little boy slept through from 8 weeks. He has never known anything but sleeping in his cot in his own room, without props and settling himself to sleep. Starting the plan so early means that he has never developed any of the sleep problems which seem to plague to rest of my NCT class! He smiles when we put him down for naps or bedtime and just goes off to sleep!

I cannot praise and recommend Alison highly enough. Things could have been very, very different if Alison hadn't picked up on my babies reflux so early on. He then slep through at 6 weeks as did my 2nd son when I followed the exact same routine. He also had reflux and I knew what I was looking for 2nd time round. Massive, massive thank you to Alison, she is amazing, if you are thinking of having her DO IT it is worth EVERY penny.

brilliant brilliant brilliant...thats all i can say. Ryan sleeps through the night, has daytime naps which he never did..i cant recommend this book highly enough

I was really pleased with this book. It was nice to see that somebody has finally acknowledged the problem of reflux. Many thanks

Got your book as a gift from my sister when I was pregnant & put the routine in place from week one. Fantastic. Once we stopped the night feeds at 8 weeks our baby was sleeping through the night, he's now 18 weeks and still sleeps through the night, I put this down to all the tips and advice in this book. It really is a must for every new parent..

After following the Reassurance Sleep Technique my baby now settles without any fuss and sleeps for 11.5 to 12 hours at night, every night. She also sleeps brilliantly during the day. I will be following your advice from day one for my next little bub!

Unbelievable! We had Alison with us for three days and from the very first night my 13 months old baby girl slept through the night! Something she never did before. My baby used to wake up to 10 times each night and had to be rocked for at least 30 minutes and would only sleep for max 30 minutes each time! She never had a routine and life was unbearable! Two weeks past since and she's slept through the night every night! Money well spent... Thank you Alison, you have changed our life!

Hi Allison! My name is Nathalie and i live in Dubai. I wanted to thank you deeply for publishing this amazing book! It saved my life! At last i can sleep at night now due to your plan. My baby Michael is 4 months old and i started this plan a week ago and i only had to do your plan for one night only where after that he would sleep all night. I am still having trouble in the nap times though. It's been a week so far and he keeps crying when i put him down for a nap. He sleeps in the end when i remove him from his bed and put him somewhere else, but that's because i think he's tired in the end. I am worried about him crying so much every day for his naps. is there any solution for this or am i doing something wrong? Would really appreciate your help. Thanks so much.

I can't begin to explain how amazing this book has been! It was our bible for the first 8 weeks of our newborns life. My husband and I were very consistent when implementing the Sensational Baby Sleep Plan and it has paid dividends!! She started to sleep through the night at 8 weeks in her Cot Bed and now at 17 weeks she is still sleeping through from 7:15pm through to 7:15am we often have to wake her up in the mornings to start the day! We are firm believers that this book works and have gone and purchased several copies for our friends that soon to be Parents. Best of luck! Paula & Eugene (Baby Savannah)

We started using your book with our baby when he was 4 months old as he was waking regularly through the night and did not sleep well during the day. It was recommended by a friend who had success with it also. Within a week he was sleeping much better but still there was something amiss. After reading your section on Reflux a long battle commenced with the GP to recognise that my son had all the signs of reflux. Eventually we were taken seriously and prescribed meds as well as having a change of formula. Within a week brand new baby!!! Sleeping well day and night and without the stress of being uncomfortable!!! Thank you so much it really has been fabulous!!! Just need to crack the early mornings now!!!
