	SLEEPING BABY STORIES Monique & Matthew Kennedy Olivia age 3 Erica Newborn Can I just start by saying that Jenny Roberts is a Saint and Angel, a Godsend. As a parent you wonder if you are doing the “right” thing with your children but what is the “right’ thing to do!!!! Our daughter Olivia is a very bright little girl and I had no trouble with her at all except for the fact she wouldn’t go to sleep on her own and hasn’t slept the night through since theday she was born, we would have to lay down next to her every night until she fell asleep and some nights it was just a nightmare and we dreaded it each night. Whose turn it was going to be tonight? As you can imagine this sometimes created a problem between Mummy and Daddy because neither of us wanted the dreaded task of putting her to sleep it was a grueling task and some nights it would take over an hour just to get her to sleep and just as you thought you could creep out that door she would wake Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!! Not again. This is where “Saint Jenny” comes in I found out about Jenny through a very good friend of mine I was very apprehensive at first and it took me a long while to make “that call” as I thought that I could sort it out myself since I was the mother I thought that I should be able to do this I was pregnant that the time and thought how of earth am I going to be able to do this and have a newborn baby it was impossible, so I made the call. Jenny was very lovely on the phone and made me fell at ease we made arrangements for Jenny to come and do a home visit to us in the Northern Territory. I was so nervous the day that Jenny was coming I felt sick in the stomach I thought that our home was going to be turned upside down but as soon as Jenny walk in the front door I knew we had done the right thing. The first thing that Jenny taught us was to slow down let go and to be calm I am a bit of a perfectionist and I have things in order and clean and tidy all of (well most of ) the time and that really it wasn’t about my daughters sleeping it was about how we as parents dealt with it Jenny was here for 4 days and the first night she was here my daughter slept for over 12 hours now I am talking about a toddler that had never EVER slept through the night since the day she was born. Day 2 and I was a little more relaxed as I myself had over 12 hours sleep it was a miracle this lady was a saint and I never was to let her go she had come into our home and worked her magic and in less then one day we were all calm relaxed and sleeping like logs. I went to be this night with a really big headache I think it was all the tension and build up for the unknown and there really was nothing to worry about. Day 3 & 4 were really relaxing I had never done so little in my life and I was now relaxing and creating space between myself and Olivia I have learnt to let go of the little things and to slow down and let whatever happens happen. Our daughter now puts herself to bed most nights and sleeps all the night through 10 – 12 hours a night. The best thing I ever did was pick up the phone and call Jenny I know it was the “right thing” to do. Jenny is still a great support to me if it is day or night and I need some guidance Jenny is there for us. We will forever be grateful to her. A great big Pinky Hug from us Jenny.

Can I just start by saying that Jenny Roberts is a Saint and Angel, a Godsend.

As a parent you wonder if you are doing the “right” thing with your children but what is the “right’ thing to do!!!!

Our daughter Olivia is a very bright little girl and I had no trouble with her at all except for the fact she wouldn’t go to sleep on her own and hasn’t slept the night through since theday she was born, we would have to lay down next to her every night until she fell asleep and some nights it was just a nightmare and we dreaded it each night.
