Parents Navigating Their Baby's Feeding Journey

What You’ll Learn:

“Within a few minutes, she was able to identify that our baby was cluster feeding!"

We used Sleep & Cradle for our 18-month-old daughter. Within a few minutes, she was able to identify that our baby was cluster feeding. Our lifestyle of work and crazy schedules made it difficult in the beginning to follow the process, but once we were able to establish a more regular schedule for the baby, with little tweaks Cynthia provided, we have been able to sleep all night. Our baby goes to bed and no longer wakes up asking for a bottle of milk at night. She knows when it’s time to sleep and has a consistent routine, which is what babies crave the most. Thanks!!
