Caitlin's story

The Beyond Sleep Training Project was/is literally the only resource that could support me in putting the following pieces of motherhood together: exclusive breastfeeding, attachment parenting, my own sleep, health and sanity.
Sormeh's story

I always say two things allowed me to be ok (ironically both discovered on the internet!)- Side feeding whilst co-sleeping and this group. It build my confidence and allowed me to follow my gut and mother instincts.
Eddy's testimonial

Finding The Beyond Sleep Training Project was a huge relief, here was validation of what my instincts were telling me – my baby just needed to be held and fed more, and carried and sleep touching me. We started feeding on demand and co-sleeping, and it was like night and day. My baby started gaining decent amounts of weight, he stopped crying all the time, and I got to sleep again.
Melanie's testimonial

"It’s this critical thinking and reflection that is so important for breaking generations of parenting advice that is counter to what children and babies really need. I’m so thankful this group exists, there are really no other ones that are this organized, welcoming, and gentle. I also love how we include non-sleep related questions and advice amongst parents who all share similar views."
