Mothercraft for Babies

Thank you for your help Beth! Michael and I are getting more sleep now than we have in years.

I reached out to Beth because my 6 month old was waking every 45 mins - 1 hr through the night for feeds, barely sleeping during the day and not really eating solids - despite being a big boy. With two under two at home, my husband and I were exhausted!
Honestly walking zombies. And our baby was so unsettled.

During the first consult, Beth walked through our baby’s day with us and gave us very practical advice hour by hour. She helped us build a routine for him which we’d never had. I loved Beth’s wholistic approach to sleep - it’s never just about the sleep! We were coached on food, breastmilk and formula, play and activities for baby. Beth checked in everyday sometimes multiple times and I love how easily she course corrected when the plan wasn’t working - because it didn’t for the first couple of days. She quickly identified what needed to change and by day 4/5 our baby was napping 3 times a day and waking twice a night! A huge win…

We still have work to do but we now feel confident that we know what we’re doing. We have the right toolbox in place to keep the sleep going.

Also, I love that Beth gave us advice for how to tweak Mateo’s routine in 1-2 months time when he is 8 months old.

When Mateo was born we bought the Snoo because our first born was a terrible sleeper. I’d honestly spend your money on Beth instead of the Snoo if you’re worried about sleep and wanting to nail a routine for baby.

Thank you Beth

Stacie was incredible and just the confidence she gave me was worth its weight in gold. I have faith now that I can accomplish my goals with my little boy and he will continue to thrive. I highly recommend this service to anyone having trouble navigating feeding, sleep, routines etc!

Beth is a miracle worker! She is so knowledgeable and kind and my husband and I couldn’t recommend her services enough. We contacted Beth as we were struggling with a 6 month old who would wake frequently at night, could only be nursed to sleep and would then combat overtiredness by sleeping a lot of the day. We had fallen into a difficult cycle where the days and nights were back to front, we were (unwillingly) co-sleeping, baby could only settle to sleep by being nursed and some nights he would nurse 10+ times a night. Baby was also grumpy during awake windows and not eating solids. We were all in survival mode. Surviving but not thriving. I contacted Beth and she could recognise that I had lost confidence in myself and was lost as to how to fix things. She immediately reassured me that this was not out of the ordinary, I hadn’t done anything wrong and it was all fixable. Things a struggling new mum needed to hear. We consulted with Beth by phone where she armed us with a plan and gave us straightforward, manageable advice and solutions. We noticed improvement in baby from day 1 and Beth provided daily coaching by phone, guiding us every step of the way. The unique thing that Beth offered us was a plan tailored to our baby, and strategies to combat our specific issues. The phone coaching was the perfect option for us as it gave us responsibility and accountability. Baby is now (less than 2 weeks later) sleeping in his cot, sleeping well at night, waking a maximum of once per night for a feed, self-settling and napping well during the day. Baby is now happy during awake windows, we’ve noticed leaps in his development, he’s eating solids like a champ, and his tired, hungry etc cues are now easy to read instead of being muddled due to overtiredness (all things Beth told us would happen as his overnight sleep improved)! We’re all thriving and we can now really enjoy our beautiful son.
You can certainly tell that Beth has been working with families for many years and is highly experienced. She is great at what she does. We won’t hesitate to reach out to her again if issues pop up down the track with baby or future babies. Beth helped us to feel empowered as parents. Thank you Beth for all you have done for us, we sing your praises in our household!

I cannot recommend Beth's services highly enough. Like most I was the mother of what I saw as a 'challenging' toddler; but what I now (after working with Beth) know is an independent, intelligent, resourceful and resilient little girl who was crying out for boundaries and consistency! Our family had common problems around sleep - dependence on a caregivers presence for sleep, fighting bed time and fighting nap times. I felt defeated, guilty and desperate to preserve a positive relationship with my toddler while managing my newborn son. Resentment was brewing as the days were so long and hard. My confidence in my own decisions about parenting was at an all time low - anxious thoughts about nap and bed times ruled my day! After ONE WEEK of following Beth's advice to the letter, the changes are unbelievable. She is self settling like a pro with little input from Mum or Dad. The tools Beth provides are not limited to sleep issues but rather assist in restoring the confidence to caregivers, so they can establish consistent boundaries with their child to lead to an improvement in overall well-being. My child is happier, more independent, calmer, thriving and an absolute joy. We now have a routine to our days and evenings which has helped her feel safe and supported. This is the best gift I could have given to myself and my toddler (and newborn and husband!). Thank you, Beth!

Can't recommend Beth enough. I am a first time mother of twin boys. I contacted Mothercraft for Babies after a recommendation from a neighbour who was seeing how exhausted both my husband and I were. At 12 months of age the boys were still waking in the night multiple times and needing to be rocked to sleep. We had a phone consult with Beth and immediately felt comfortable with her. She is friendly and non judgmental and as far as parenting goes, she's pretty much seen it all. She was able to give us simple, clear instructions to help transition our boys off the dummy and bottle. Within 3 days, both boys were sleeping through the night. It's honestly amazing what can be achieved with a solid strategy in place.
We contacted Beth again recently because one of our twins was struggling to self settle after a period of ill health. Beth again gave us simple but very effective plan and we have 2 happy sleeping babies again.
You can't underestimate the importance of sleep for both your own and your babies health. If you are struggling, give Mothercraft for Babies a call, it'll be the best money you ever spend!
Fellow twin mums - Beth knows her stuff so give her a call!

Where do I start Beth is an absolute godsend. She has helped me with both my daughters even with us now living in New Zealand. Beth has such a lovely manner with practical and realistic advice. Beth has helped us with everything from naps and sleep to feeding and solids. Beth also helped me navigate some difficult toddler behaviours with my oldest. Beth helped me in feeling confident with the decisions I was making about my daughters. Advice was always in-line with what was developmentally appropriate and evidence based. Beth also helped me realise when I was overthinking things and helped me enjoy parenthood. Sleep was very important to me and I know have two thriving happy girls who are both great sleepers and in lovely routines. I could not recommend Beth more! Definitely 5 stars!

I highly recommend Beth! I was unsure about contacting a sleep consultant for my 2.5 yr old, but after some highly anxious, stressful and tear-filled evenings Beth's guidance and support came to our rescue. Beth gave me the confidence to take back control with our daughter and be the leader. Our 2.5 yr old responded so well to Beth's steps and her night sleeps were given the shock they needed. Beth's approach worked perfectly for our family. Thank you Beth!

I have no hesitation in recommending Mothercraft. I had an initial phone consult with Beth and then Stacie has been out to do home visits twice and all of the help and information has been fantastic in helping me understand how to settle my baby and work with his natural rhythm of feeding, playing and sleeping.

As a single first-time parent who had to go back to work when my baby was 8 weeks old, I could not have managed without Stacie's help. She even came to my office (in the torrential rain) to help me put together a plan for making sure his sleep is consistent on days when he's in the office with me.

I'm planning to contact Mothercraft again for assistance with transitioning my baby to solids and anytime after that when I might need help. Both Beth and Stacie are able to give practical, evidence-based advice for babies at all stages of development.

Beth was a godsend and fantastic to work with. As a solo parent, having someone with her experience listen to our scenario and provide really practical relevant help and support was invaluable. She sorted out out our sleep and behavioural issues really quickly, gave me some tools to continue using and helped restore my confidence. I’d recommend the service to any parent trying to work through a tough stage.

I could not recommend Beth highly enough.

I recently engaged the services of Beth from Mothercraft for Babies and am absolutely thrilled and beyond grateful for the astonishing results we achieved within 48 hours.

I have a 20 month old daughter who was born with a rare disease and suffered from reflux, as a result my daughter has never been a great sleeper. I returned to work in 2020 only having a short time off for maternity leave and my daughter was sleeping in the spare room in the double bed with my mother, as I was not able to get a goods night rest so I could concentrate at work.

I recently had a baby and was unable to sleep with my newborn as my daughters sleeping habits or lack there of sleeping spiraled out of control. It resulted in my mum sleeping with the newborn and I was sleeping in my daughters room on her floor whilst she was in her cot. I had not had a good nights sleep for approximately 2 months, as my daughter refused to go to bed and when she did she would only sleep for a maximum of 3 hours and would then be consistently up 45 minutes to an hour.

I made an appointment with my daughters pediatrician and raised my concerns as I initially thought that there may be some health issue with her. After speaking with the pediatrician he ruled out any health concerns and recommended Beth. I approved of the idea and Beth contacted me later that day.

Beth has honestly changed our lives. Beth listened to what was happening and provided me with guidance and information that suited my lifestyle and situation. I can honestly say that after the first 24 hours our lives had changed in a positive way and after 48 hours our lives have changed completely.

I have not slept on the floor in my daughters room since and have been able to sleep in my own room with my husband in our bed. There are no frequent wake ups involving me having to attend to our daughter and go into her room. Not only have I been able to sleep in my own room, my husband and I now have quality time and are able to go for our evening walks and I am focused with work and much happier.

My daughter now has her daytime nap for approximately 1.30hour-2hours. This involves me taking my daughter into her room, placing her into her cot and walking out of her room immediately. My daughter then goes down for the night at 6.30-6.45pm and again this involves me taking her to her room upstairs, placing her in her cot and walking out of her room immediately.

Beth was easily contactable and provided follow up calls and messages. Beth went out of her way to fit me into her schedule and managed to get me in just prior to Christmas.

Beth I can never thank you enough for what you have done for my family. You are an absolute professional who has a love, passion and understanding of children's needs.

Beth you have given me my life back, I am forever grateful.

I would not hesitate in recommending you to family, friends and people in general. I would be more than happy and willing to speak to any of your future clients.

Thank you once again, I am forever grateful.

Beth and one of her excellent foot soldiers, Jackie, whipped my son and I into shape sharpish! He has reflux and they identified this, made contact with my pediatrician and by the end of the day he was on medication. Two months later he's the tubbiest, happiest little thing. Jackie's advice on other matters was on point and Beth even took a panicked call in recent weeks over another #motherfail moment:)

We were in a bad situation with both of us working full time and being woken up 3 times every night to feed our 11 month old. One of us was still sleeping in the room with her so that the other could get some sleep in the other room. Our daughter was also barely eating solids.
Beth was a great listener, which is why we decided to proceed with using her services. She took into account our personal circumstances, which I felt hadn't been listened to by many other professionals in the past.
We worked with Beth for one week via phone support. During that time, our daughter reduced her milk intake down from 1 litre per day to 200ml, and began eating 3 meals plus 2 snacks per day. We took forward her advice on sleep from the final phone consult. The first 3 nights were exhausting, but on the 4th night she slept 11 hours straight. She now sleeps in her own room, and we don't need to feed her at all during the night anymore.
We couldn't believe it was so quick and such good value to make so much positive change. Beth's help really changed our lives, thank you!

We used Mothercraft to help with our 9 week old baby who doesn't sleep for more than 45 minutes at a time. After 9 weeks of trying to survive on 3-4 hours of broken sleep we were desperate.

The nurse that came out was incredibly nice and genuinely tried to help us settle our baby and employ techniques to get a better result moving forward. Unfortunately we were not shown anything overly different to what we were already doing, and the nurse was only able to settle our baby for 30 minutes over the 6 hour in house consultation. We have experienced no progress over the subsequent weeks. Beth did a follow-up consultation over the phone, but again, we saw no further results from the advice given.

We understand there's no silver bullet to this type of problem, our baby has reflux (Beth did say in their opinion our baby did not have reflux but i will take both our GP and paediatricians diagnosis) and tummy issues so there's an element of him just growing out of it. However, I believe if Mothercraft is offering a sleep and settling service, then we should at least be able to see some improvement in sleep and settling - $700 is a lot to pay for not seeing any difference in our baby and being shown the same techniques we'd already been using. I also feel there should be some acknowledgment from Mothercraft of their lack of ability to offer any real assistance in our circumstances. My honest opinion is I wouldn't be recommending this service to anyone needing any more than a lesson in basic settling techniques. If they could not help they should not have taken our money.

The second star is given as an acknowledgement that our nurse Liz was friendly and did try all she could.

As a first time mum, I needed alot of help as I didnt know what I was doing. Stacie from the team came out and was really patient with my questions and personal situation. She relieved alot of my anxiety and stress. I would use them time and time again. Thank you again!

We had amazing results in 24 hours!

I could not recommend Beth highly enough! I wish I reached out sooner.

At 20 months, I reached a max sleep deprivation limit (waking up every 45 minutes, for 3 months). Beth came for a home consult, and picked up on such simple things that I should change (but things I never thought of). We transitioned (so easily) from the cot in our room, to a big bed in a separate room, with a toddler happily falling asleep on their own and sleeping through the night. I strictly implemented everything Beth suggested from the day we had our first consult and had incredible results in 24 hours! My toddler asked me to leave her room, after we finished our bedtime routine, on night 3! We could not believe it, it was like magic

After the amazing results we had, my sister-in-law (who lives overseas) also organised a consult with Beth and had fantastic results in the first week, with her 12 month old.

Beth, thank you for all the follow up calls and msgs, for being available at any time, and answering my further questions around nutrition.we are so grateful to have you in our life! Thank you!

I have just finished Beth’s new ebook- Newborn -12 weeks. This is so helpful- concise, clear and to the point. Of all the books, materials, resources I’ve encouraged my husband to read this is the only one he’s read from front to back all in one go. Thank you!

I cannot recommend Beth from Mothercraft for Babies enough. I live in Central West NSW and had two video chats with Beth - despite not being face-to-face, Beth was very understanding and easy to talk to. I suffer from PND and was having panic attacks due to my sons behaviour - Beth gave me tools to assist with moving my very attached 2y9mo boy after 6 months of co-sleeping to his own bed. Just doing this has helped with his behaviour (was anyone actually getting proper sleep) ? Beth continuously checked in and sent encouraging messages which seemed to be sent exactly when I needed them. We have successfully transferred him to his bed and that is 100% thanks to Beth’s gentle tools and methods. Honestly, if you’re struggling as a parent or have sleep issues with you child, contact Mothercraft, it’s that easy!

After the birth of my daughter, we had a whole year of cosleeping with my 3yo son as we were all sleep deprived and on survival mode. He didn’t cope well with her arrival. I didn’t know how to help him sleep on his own again. We had tried to let him cry it out, and felt like we were really torturing him. As a working mum, it’s hard to set day time routines and even get him into bed at a decent time. I felt hopeless but found Beth and took a chance. I was skeptical at first as I felt like we had already tried a lot of things. We had a couple of phone call conversations and she really listened to the things I had to say and made me feel at ease even when I had very simple/silly questions to ask. It wasn’t an overnight miracle but surely and steadily we’ve made a lot of progress with my sons sleep. Some of the advice she gave me seemed like common sense but it was her keeping me accountable and setting some boundaries that I couldn’t do on my own. I wish I had the courage to ask for help and contacted Beth sooner. Thank you again! It’s really made the whole family happier.
