Suzy has been babysitting for me for the past 2 months, looking after my 4 month old son for a few hours every week and I could not recommend her more highly. Suzy is incredibly professional, caring and fantastic with babies. I love the updates & pictures Suzy provides me whilst she's looking after my son, it allows me to feel reassured that he is in safe and capale hands and perfectly happy. My husband and I call Suzy "Super Nanny" as she generously shares her expertise on babies with us as we navigate through the new world of parenthood.

I feel truly privileged to be able to spend time with your gorgeous little boy. Thank you!
We contacted Suzy for our 3.5 month old baby who would not take a bottle despite every effort & attempt we had made for 2 months. With a 2 year old also at home I needed her to take a bottle for some flexibility & for Dad to help out.
Suzy was incredibly knowledgable & slotted right in. She unbelievably had my little one taking the bottle almost straight away then after 24 hours coached my husband in how to feed her. He has nicknamed her 'The baby whisperer'! We had follow up support for a week afterwards that was invaluable. Suzy was worth every penny & our only wish was we had contacted her sooner!

Dear Hannah,
Those are generous words. I would like to thank you for putting all your trust into my bottle refusal service. It was an absolute joy to care for and advise about your little one who has a lovely personality.
Wishing you all the best in the future with positive feeding and fun filled days ahead.
Just wanted to take the opportunity again to thank you SO MUCH for your help! We're still reeling from the success and so pleased our search brought us to your door! Baby's new sleep habit is life changing behaviour and we will always be grateful. Within 36 hours Suzy had our 8M falling to sleep in his own cot, and sleeping solidly for 12 hours, something that had never, EVER happened before. And it's stuck! We couldn't have done it without you.

i am so pleased that with advice and support you have got to the point where you are all sleeping better. Congratulations! Keep up the good work and enjoy lots more sleep filled nights and fun filled days.
Suzy was my third - and final! - sleep consultant! By the time Suzy came, my six month old was an ace daytime napper, but turned into a little terror when it came to bedtime. I didn't have a way of getting him to sleep in the evening that didn't involve tears and more tears. I knew I wasn't being consistent (bad!) but I also felt that I'd given all the various techniques I'd read about a pretty decent go and didn't know what else to try. I'd lost all confidence in my parenting ability and was worried that I was traumatising my baby with his evening crying. Suzy completely came to the rescue, reassuring me that my baby was fine (albeit pretty headstrong!) and giving me the confidence and encouragement to see my chosen technique through. I trusted her completely. Five days after Suzy came, he was asleep at bedtime within 10 minutes. She made the baby happy. She made me happy. The dogs loved her. Everyone loved her!

Dear RosieL,
The feeling is mutual and that includes your dogs! I loved the challenge of your gorgeous little boys sleep resisting antics and I am so deeply proud of you for following right through to a great result. Congratulations and a big little hug to your very stunning baby boy (and the dogs too!).
We purchased blissful sleep and worked with Suzy across three days with two-weeks text support. Words will not adequately convey our feelings about Suzy and the changes that she guided and supported in developing a sleep routine in our baby: but life-changing covers it. We *highly, highly* recommend this package and Suzy.

Dear CDS,
I am thrilled that you are now sleeping well and very grateful for your kind words.
I wish you all the heartfelt best in the future and lots and lots more blissful sleep....
Suzy was fantastic with our 9 month old who had refused a bottle for 6 months, and outwitted previous consultants on the matter. Our baby is now very happily taking the bottle, and as a bonus her sleeping has improved. Suzy’s intuitive, baby led approach made me feel completely comfortable and we are thrilled with the results. I would wholeheartedly and very enthusiastically recommend Suzy to anyone having feeding or sleeping trouble.

We hired Suzy to persuade our extremely willful 7 month old to take a bottle, after months and months of trying ourselves without success. Suzy's approach was calm, knowledgeable, extremely skilful and well, quite astonishing. She is the closest to a true baby whisperer I've ever come across, and my husband learned so much from the time they spent together with our baby (I was away from the house to enable operation bottle to succeed!). Suzy also took great care to ensure I was ok, both mentally and physically, with stopping breastfeeding and being away from our baby. She went above and beyond I felt. Her support following the successful bottle training was also brilliant and generous. I never really thought our baby would accept a bottle, but it took just 2 days and now he is exclusively drinking milk from a bottle, and happily so. Don't hesitate to hire Suzy!

Suzy came to the rescue when we were under real time pressure. I was due to start back at work part time and our predominantly breastfed four month old had recently stopped taking expressed milk by bottle, refusing with crying fits and leaving us worried she'd go hungry when I wasn't there. Our efforts employing different teats, bottles, locations and family members only seemed to make her more and more angry.
Our little girl responded well immediately to Suzy's manner - she is clearly brilliant with babies. Suzy guided my daughter and husband gently through a process to get her taking milk from the bottle again and in increasing volumes until she was taking full feeds.
We were impressed by Suzy's ability to help both an infant and stressed out parents while maintaining calm and understanding. She even kept me updated on what was my first day back at work with WhatsApp messages, pictures and videos to reassure me that my daughter was happy and in good hands. Her aftercare via WhatsApp kept us on track through the week that followed, answering questions and cheering us on.
We'd recommend Suzy's bottle refusal assistance highly and would sign up for her other services with confidence if we need them in future.

At six months old our son was waking almost hourly throughout the night, wouldn't nap for longer than 20 minutes during the day and was snacking on breast milk throughout the day and night. We had tried to set in place a good routine but we were not confident in what we were doing. With so much advice, methods, friends, the internet etc. out there we were confused, doubting what we were doing and how we were doing it. The more tired we became the harder it got. Suzy came along and gave us confidence to pursue our chosen method, helping us to stick at it and keep consistent, and within the month we had a happy baby who was confidently eating solids with a clear feeding and sleeping routine, napping three times a day and sleeping 11 hours a night. We were able to wean him off the night feeds and finally started to get regular good night sleeps! The more sleep we got the more confident we became, the happier we were and the more we could give our gorgeous son. Suzy helped us clarify what was right for us as a family, in terms of the support she could offer us the methods we could use and the routine we wanted to put in place, and we highly recommend her….and sleep!!!
Thank you Suzy :-) x

If you are reading this review looking for a sleep consultant, I am sure you are as desperate as I was when I looked at Suzy's other reviews on this website 6 weeks ago. Back then we had an 8 month year old daughter who woke every 20-90 minutes throughout the night, didn't eat well, was constantly falling on the 'percentile' weight chart and was extremely over-tired. (and a more than a tad manic!) My partner was seriously depressed and completely exhausted and I had been off work for the best part of 6 months to help out. We weren't living, we were surviving...and doing a pretty poor job of that. Our relationship was being tested and I hated people asking how my daughter was doing because I didn't want to lie to them but at the same time it broke my heart to tell them that things weren't great.
No one seemed to understand. BUT...and there is a big BUT...we made the very difficult decision to ask for help. Lucky for us, the person we asked was Suzy Lane as it was critical that we found the right person. Suzy stayed with us for 7 days as we had multiple related issues that we needed to tackle at the same time. What I really like about her approach is that is completely tailored to each family...she watches and assesses personalities (baby and parents) before recommending a plan. This makes a lot of sense to me and it was really important to us, especially considering how fragile my partner was when Suzy arrived. Results wise, our daughter first slept through the night on day 5 of Suzy's stay. Since Suzy left, we have had to go into my daughter's room on 3 nights out of 30+...her sleep is totally solid...she is eating more in 1 meal now than she used to eat in 3 days...she is piling on weight...she is much calmer, sharper and happier. My partner is 'herself' again as she is now getting 8 hrs sleep a night at least. It is not an over-statement to say that in my adult life, no person I have met has affected as much positive change in such a short space of time as Suzy. In one week she literally 'gave our lives back to us' and set up my daughter to thrive by installing proven sleeping and feeding routine which we have consistently stuck to. I didn't know Suzy before we hired her and didn't have a personal recommendation so I naturally saw hiring her as a bit of a risk...however that risk massively paid off for us as I am sure if will for you if you ask Suzy to come and help you!
