I was so afraid of sleep training. Everything I’d heard made it sound harsh—like I had to choose between letting my baby cry alone or never sleeping again. As a sensitive parent, I couldn’t bear the thought of causing distress just to get more rest. But I was exhausted. My baby was waking every 90 minutes at night, and I was running on fumes.

This guide was a revelation.

What I found wasn’t a “one-size-fits-all” method, but a compassionate, evidence-based approach that respected both my baby’s needs and my own. The emphasis on timing, environment, and bedtime routines gave us the foundation we were missing. And when it came to sleep training, I was relieved—there were gentle options, including one where I could comfort my baby as much as needed.

We started with the bedtime-only method, and within a few nights, my baby was falling asleep peacefully—without tears, without fear, and without needing me every time they stirred. I never thought it could be this smooth or this kind.

This guide showed me that sleep training doesn’t have to be traumatic. It can be nurturing, responsive, and deeply bonding. I only wish I’d found it sooner.

Before this guide, bedtime felt like a battleground. Our toddler needed endless rocking, stories, and “just one more” everything—then would still wake up crying multiple times a night. We were barely functioning, running on fumes, and questioning everything we were doing. Reading this guide was like having a calm, wise friend sit beside us saying, “You’re not doing it wrong—it’s just really hard, and here’s how we can make it better.”

We started using the calming routine and gradually reduced our involvement at bedtime. It wasn’t instant, but it was gentle and effective. Within a few weeks, he was falling asleep on his own, and waking maybe once, if at all. The change in our mental health, our relationship, and our son’s mood has been incredible. We feel like a family again—not just tired survivalists.

Before discovering the Primrose Sleep guide, I was at a breaking point. My baby was waking up nearly every hour, and I hadn’t slept more than two hours at a stretch in weeks. I felt like I was failing as a mom, constantly overwhelmed and barely holding it together. This guide didn’t just help my baby sleep—it gave me back my sanity.

What stood out was how gentle and respectful the approach was. I didn’t feel like I had to choose between comforting my baby and helping them learn to sleep. The step-by-step guidance, especially the sleep training options and emphasis on routine and environment, helped us feel empowered rather than pressured. Within a week, our nights went from chaos to calm. I cried tears of relief the first time my baby slept a solid stretch.

If you're desperate, exhausted, and unsure where to turn—this guide will change your life. It did for me.

I was skeptical of anything involving “sleep training” because I didn’t want my child to cry it out or feel abandoned. This guide was different—it explained separation anxiety, offered realistic timelines, and gave gentle, step-by-step options. We used the social story idea and the “Return to Bed” method, and it completely transformed our nights. My son used to wander out of bed six times before finally crashing on the floor. Now he settles in after our routine, cuddles his lovey, and sleeps through the night. I wish we had this sooner.

There were nights I cried right alongside my baby. I felt like I was failing, and I was just so tired. This guide didn’t just give us tips—it gave us reassurance and a way forward. We followed the gradual approach and stuck to it. It wasn’t always easy, but it worked. Our baby now falls asleep independently and only wakes once to feed. It’s changed everything. We’re sleeping, we’re functioning, and we even have time to relax together in the evenings. I didn’t realize how much I needed this until I had it. If you’re exhausted and unsure, please read this guide—you deserve rest too.

Our 2-year-old was waking up multiple times a night and refusing to fall asleep unless one of us was right there, lying on the floor beside the bed. We were physically and emotionally exhausted. This guide came at a time when we felt truly stuck. What I loved most was the way it balanced structure with compassion—it didn’t shame us, it guided us. We chose the child-led gradual retreat, and over a few weeks, things slowly improved. Now, our toddler goes to sleep independently and stays in bed. We finally have our evenings back—and honestly, our sanity too.

Before finding this guide, we were at our breaking point. Our baby was waking 6–8 times a night, and my partner and I were completely drained—physically and emotionally. I was anxious all day just thinking about bedtime. This guide gave us a plan we could actually follow, and more importantly, it gave us hope. We started with the bedtime routine and sleep environment changes, and within days, things began to shift. Now, our baby sleeps in longer stretches, and we’ve even had full nights. I can’t express how much this has helped my mental health and brought peace back into our home. I finally feel like myself again.

I was skeptical. After so many sleepless nights and failed attempts to “sleep train,” I thought our daughter was just a poor sleeper. But the way this guide approached sleep—with empathy, flexibility, and real-life strategies—completely changed my mindset. We followed the adult-led method, and although there were tears in the beginning, the progress was fast and steady. Two weeks later, we were putting her down at 7:30 p.m. and she was sleeping until morning. I didn’t realize how much stress I was carrying until it lifted. This guide gave us more than sleep—it gave us peace.

I didn’t know nights could feel so long. Our daughter was up every 45 minutes, and I felt like I was failing—at sleep, at feeding, at motherhood. I was terrified I was doing everything wrong, and I couldn’t see a way out. Then I found this guide. It didn’t promise miracles, and that’s what made it so powerful.

It met me where I was: tired, anxious, desperate for even one predictable thing. The reminders to follow my instincts, the gentle structure around timing and wake windows, and the reassurance that this wasn’t forever—it helped me calm down and start trusting myself. I especially appreciated the focus on sharing night duties—my partner and I created a night shift plan based on their suggestion, and suddenly, we were both getting some sleep again.

We were completely worn down. Our 10-month-old was waking every hour, needing to be rocked back to sleep. I hadn’t had more than 2 hours of uninterrupted sleep in months, and it was taking a serious toll on my mental health and our family dynamic. This guide was the first thing that didn’t make me feel like a failure. It gave us practical steps, gentle options, and most importantly—it gave us hope. We chose the child-led gradual retreat, and little by little, things changed. Now our son falls asleep on his own and wakes maybe once a night. I feel like I can breathe again.

My baby would fight every nap, cry from overtiredness, and I felt like I couldn’t plan anything — because sleep was so unpredictable. This guide changed everything. It gave me a clear plan, helped me notice what I was missing, and the best part? No sleep training. Just small changes that made a huge difference. Now, naps are calm, consistent, and I actually get a break.

My newborn would only nap for 20–30 minutes and getting her down felt like a battle every single time. I was googling at 3am and feeling completely burnt out. Then I found this guide — and it was such a relief. It helped me understand her sleep cues, tweak our schedule, and set up a better nap routine. Within a week, she was napping longer and falling asleep without the daily struggle.

We were dealing with tantrums at bedtime, skipped naps, and 3 a.m. wakeups that lasted for hours. My partner and I were snapping at each other, totally drained. This guide didn’t just help our toddler—it helped us. The focus on timing, calming routines, and consistency made such a difference. We learned how to support our daughter through her bedtime fears without giving in to the chaos. Within two weeks, she was falling asleep independently and waking rested. I didn’t realize how much better life could feel with good sleep. This guide was the turning point we so desperately needed.

I was wearing him in the carrier three times a day just to squeeze out a 40-minute nap — and I was also pumping, so I felt like a full-time slave to this tiny human. It was exhausting. I’m so glad I found this guide on Instagram. I started learning his real sleep cues and used the tips inside — and within days, he was napping easily and for hours again. Total game changer

I was overwhelmed by online advice and this was the first guide that gave me a clear, step-by-step plan that actually worked. Within five nights, my 9-month-old was falling asleep on her own and sleeping through till 6am.
