I count my blessings I found this when I did otherwise I am not sure how I would be coping today.

Prior to finding the Aware Parenting Babies course my daughter was absolutely terrible at napping during the day. I would spend so much time rocking, patting, shushing and singing to her to get her to sleep and resettle after every sleep cycle. This repeated throughout the nighttimes also. I was so exhausted and felt as though I could not catch a break.

When she breastfed she would also be on and off constantly and always sought the breast when upset (not that I realised this until afterwards).

Searching for a solution I stumbled across Helenas webinar on facebook and it was there I became hooked on Aware parenting. Allowing my daughter to cry in arms and release all her emotions, stresses and tension resulted in her sleeping for 2 hour blocks at nap times and lengthy blocks at night. Her feeding improved drastically and reduced some of the wind problems she also had.

I have since endeavoured in more research on this style of parenting and absolutely love it! From the bonding perspective, psychological perspective and both the physical and emotional perspectives.

I wish all parents could have access to this course. It was a lifesaver.

I joined A2A as I was having difficulty with my daughter around sleep, separation anxiety and biting me.

It has truly made my parenting style fun, easier to tackle behaviours and I'm more relaxed and enjoying it rather than being up tight, angry and resentful.
