The feedback & personal referrals that I get from clients has been humbling. Receiving unexpected thank you-s are the highlight of my day whether I wake up to a message full of joy or end a tiring day with an email expressing gratitude, seeing how empowered mothers have become in their parenting successes is reminds me how I have been able to help so many families & most importantly…so many babies!
Patient X presented with sleep disturbances as one of the bothersome symptoms she was struggling with when she consulted me.
Hi Gabrielle! I cannot thank you enough for helping and guiding us. I learned so much ever since we took the workshop in Baby Listening and have learned more during sleep training.
Awwwww this really warms my heart. I saw them for the last time yesterday as they are flying back to France. Katrina was very grateful for you.
“Hey Gabrielle! Not sure if you remember me but i’m one of your past clients back 4-5 years ago- Sheena and my son is Orson. We were stationed in Japan when we did the sleep training. Just wanted to say Hi and hope all is well with you!! I am so thankful for all that you have done to help our family especially with Orson.
Thank you,
happy weekend
Gabrielle
I highly recommend to get Gabrielle to sleep coach your baby. The good thing about her method is that it’s holistic, the gentle approach. Teaching independence but being an emotional support to your child as well.
Sleep coaching with Gabrielle is a vital milestone in our parenting journey.
and if i could turn back time, I wouldn’t have it any other way
this experience is one for the books.
Our baby boy was 4months when I contacted Gabrielle.
At that time, baby was either rocked or fed to sleep. During his naps he was always carried by me or yaya for 2-3hours. At night he slept in our bed, so we tiptoed and whispered and tried to make the least noise when we were in the room with him. Despite these efforts he slept a 3hr maximum stretch and I breastfed him everytime he woke up.
The first days of coaching comprised hard work, muuuuch patience and dedication. But on the 3rd night, baby slept through the night! It was a breakthrough. We are currently on our 6th week of following the routine set by Gabrielle. And I can say, before sleep coaching I never thought:
-that baby would sleep in his crib in his own room and actually love it
– that baby would nap for 1-2.5hours all by himself without being carried
– that baby would be able to soothe himself to sleep (no external help needed)
– that baby would not cry and fight being put down in the crib
Currently, this baby boy is a work in progress and not yet a perfect sleeper BUUT.. he sleeps through the night most of the time, he plays patiently in his crib while waiting for mum/dad to come get him, he doesn’t fuss much when put down on the crib for naps, he is able to nap for 1-2.5hours, he can soothe himself back to sleep when he wakes from a sleep cycle during a nap or night time he has not only learned good sleep habits but also has learned to love them too
We will forever be thankful to Gabrielle— not only for her expertise but also for her patient, kind and intentional heart. She’s a gem. Also to BunBun, her sleep helper toy, who is vital in our baby’s sleep progress sending ok much love to this mama who values every sleep-deprived-mum and little person she works with
I highly recommend Gabrielle for sleep training your little ones. Laura sleeps on her own room now and doesn’t need to be rocked to sleep anymore. She is also more energized from all the restful uninterrupted nights.
One of the BEST decisions I have ever made for one of the HARDEST things I’ve had to go through. Life before Gabrielle was sleepless days and nights cradling and carrying my baby for what seemed like an eternity just so he could fall asleep….
only to have him wake up 20 min after I put him down in his crib!
I couldn’t work, I couldn’t exercise and I couldn’t live my life outside my baby’s world.
After taking Gabrielles Baby Listening workshop, we started to understand our baby more. She taught us the different sounds our baby would make and what it means as well as good habits to start FROM BIRTH, so they can sleep and feed better.
With just this, my baby was able to sleep through the night at just THREE months, 70-80 % of the time.
The game changer, was the Baby Sleep Coaching we got from Gabrielle.
There will be crying, both from parents and baby, but NO CRYING IT OUT. Quite the opposite actually, which is different from most sleep training methods you may find online.
She has a system that is easy to follow,
and would guide you all the way till your baby is able to nap the proper length, feed the proper amount, and ofcourse, sleep through the night.
Thank you Gabrielle, for giving us our life back!
– Jag, Trish, and Baby Lucas
Gabrielle really helped us through the process and knows exactly what the baby needs or doesn’t need. She only not teaches us how to communicate and learn what our baby is communicating but she also helped us plan out the rest of the day.
Gabriella really changed our lives! I would always co sleep with my 19 month old daughter maybe since she was still 2 months. I was very much sleep deprived but she guided and helped us so well! I always thought that the only sleep training
that worked was the crying out method, that’s why I never wanted to do it. Her way was so gentle and very effective. She used to only sleep an hour for her nap time because she would feel no one beside her and the struggles of even just putting her to sleep during nap time was so tiring and hard. Now I just get to tuck her in, kiss her,say see you later and leave while she is awake! She puts herself to sleep in 4mins and sleeps for 2hours and a half. Same goes for bed time and she sleeps the whole night! 7pm-7am.
Would highly recommend Gabriella to all the parents Getting Gabriella as our sleep coach is one of the best decisions I have ever made!
My husband and I were completely sleep deprived and stressed because our precious girl still wasn’t sleeping at 6 months. She had to be held constantly and her eating was sporadic. I was basically an all you can buffet that she would constantly snack from.
Got in touch Gabrielle when I was thinking of how I can put my son to sleep faster and with less physical effort. I was initially worried that sleep coaching is just for babies since my son was already 2.7yo when I thought of sleep coaching.
My 5 month old baby girl had been struggling with her sleep. She would only sleep for 30 minutes max twice a day and would soon wake up once she was put to bed AND would nurse to sleep for 1 hour at bedtime and wake up 4-5x at night crying.
This was our story for almost 1 month. So I decided to ask Gabrielle’s help since I know this sleeping patter is affecting my daughter’s growth and development as well as our rest.
Initially, I thought the 1 hour phone consult would not suffice since there were a lot of issues to tackle. However, I was wrong. She told me everything I have to do from giving her a bath, to making quality time and to feeding her. It was like talking to a close friend even though we have met yet.
It was hard on the first day because I would doubt myself if I was doing the right thing but I trusted my gut and followed the schedule she gave me. It entailed me to pick her up for than 4x on our first day because my daughter would cry or fuss. But she was able to sleep on her own without rocking, singing or picking her up on the second day then everything followed. Even my nanny can do it even I am away.
Everyone in the family was amazed when they saw my baby 2 weeks after the sleep trraining. They noticed that she looks so happy and bright. It was the best compliment I have ever received. Thank you Gabrielle for this. I am forever grateful for your help.
Thank you Gabrielle , you’ve shifted my parenting mind set for the better. My decision to get a sleep coach was met with doubt and skepticism, but I took a leap of faith. And I am so glad I did! Gabrielle’s approach is holistic
which I can relate to— if you are looking for a method, one can just read a book and follow instructions. At the end of the day, it is not just all about sleep. It is so much more. It’s on us to provide our children with the best chance (or best sleep!) possible. If only every parent knew what I now know. It was such an enlightening journey. I highly recommend!!!
My husband and I were struggling with our son’s sleeping habits. He was already a little over a year old then and he still hadn’t been sleeping through the night. We were worried he wasn’t getting enough rest.
Then we came across Gabrielle’s IG account and got in touch with her. She was already booked for a couple of months for her one-on-one coaching, so we opted for the 1-hr phone consult instead so we could immediately help our son sleep better.
Gabrielle’s recommendations have been extremely helpful. Since the adjustments we made based on our conversation, our son has been sleeping through the night. It was a struggle in the beginning, but the consult was very comprehensive and thorough so that definitely helped.
My husband and I are really thankful for Gabrielle’s help! Our date nights are back!
If you want to get your life (and sleep) back while allowing your child to maximize his/her full development by having enough sleep, Gabrielle is the best person to turn to. 18 days of helping me feel confident
in following my instincts, calming me down when I get anxious, cheering and celebrating small victories, and guiding me in every step to ensure that my daughter can finally sleep on her own, in her own room.
At first, I had doubts that my little lady can do it, but Gabrielle helped me make it possible. Now, my daughter sings herself to sleep and wakes up singing.
Thank you so much, Gabrielle! You are truly a blessing. I wish everyone can experience what I went through in this sleep coaching journey. Bisous!
Thank you so much Gabrielle! You taught us a lot the past 2 weeks and we will be forever grateful, for sleep, for learning how our baby communicates and for setting a schedule and routine that I will be using for a long time.
Thank you for making us better parents to Kyler and giving him the care that he needs. I hope you continue to help parents like us! You truly are a sleep angel!
I spent a lot of months thinking about sleep training and it just didn’t feel right for me to let the baby cry it out indefinitely, or the timed method where you walk in every 10 mins. My friend mentioned hiring a sleep coach
and that’s when I looked up sleep training in the Philippines.
What’s different about Gabrielle is that she actually teaches the parent to listen to the baby. It’s not sleep training per se, or about letting the baby cry until he/she feels that the parent abandoned him/her. Gabrielle taught me to tune my ears to hear what my son is really saying. It was extremely challenging because as a mom, every cry is like an emergency. But Gabrielle has a gift to hear what the babies are saying- truly a baby whisperer!!!! What sounded like distress to me, was apparently a baby just making noise!
I’ve never met Gabrielle personally, as our communication has been over email and messaging over WhatsApp, but she has been there every single step- providing the feed schedule, sleep schedule, and even just reassuring me that my son is doing okay.
My biggest takeaway from Gabrielle isn’t the sleep that my son is having. It’s the fact that I am able to understand what my son’s needs really are. There was one day that I was doubting my choice to sleep train (because it is hard!) and I casually mentioned that I miss having my son in my arms, and I felt guilty because all the moms I know say to let the child sleep in your arms or else you’ll miss it one day. So, part of me felt that I wasn’t giving my son the security he needs. Gabrielle reassured me and said, “Being physically close with a child that’s asleep doesn’t make that connection. The adult feels love but the child is just out. A child feels our love through safety and security which comes during awake times.” So yes, my son has finally been sleeping through most nights, and he’s been completing his naps in the morning and afternoon. But believe me when I say that sleep is just the bonus. What you get from 2 weeks with Gabrielle is more than the sleep, but you being in total sync with your baby’s needs and him learning to trust you more.
Thank you, Gabrielle for the beautiful work that you do in bringing harmony into people’s homes. May your work continue to plant the seeds of nurturing and trust for all your future clients.
We just finished our 2-week sleep training for Bella! Big thanks to our awesome sleep coach, Gabrielle Weil of @babysleep.ph (IG account), who guided us step by step on Bella’s daily routine – daytime naps,
12-hour straight night sleep, meals, snacks, and activities It has worked wonders for Bella, Pao, & I – happy baby and happy parents! Sooo proud of Bella for learning fast! And props to my husband Paolo for being so engaged and helpful Special shoutout to our parent-friends who also did sleep training before and supported us along the way – Gin, Em, Darlyn, & Eduardo It was challenging at first but the results were worth it! Our learnings on sleep training were not only about sleep, but also on parenting and strengthening the bond with our baby (since it required us to take a 2-week leave from work, which I am grateful for the quality time spent). For every family – to each is own #BellaMilestones #11mos2wks #sleeptraining
When our daughter was only 3 months old, we attended Gabrielle’s first baby language
class. She taught us how to listen and wait for cues that helped us decode what our baby
truly needs!
Being first time parents, my wife and I had no idea how to establish an effective sleep-feed- play routine for our baby. At 4 months, our days would be feeding, dancing and rocking her to sleep for a minimum of 30 minutes
It’s been 2 months since we’ve sleep trained Hunter with Gabrielle as my coach. Until now, we are happily experiencing the benefits of the training:
– there is a clear cut (sleep-feed-play) schedule that me, my husband and Yaya can easily follow. It also helps to know Hunter’s schedule for the day especially since I work. I more or less know what he’s doing every single minute of the day. Because of the strict schedule, I can also schedule meetings around it so I can go home to breastfeed during major meals
– both our help and yaya don’t have to sleep in our condo! Hunter sleeps 12 hours- 7pm to 7am so we can have the space all to ourselves and the help can also enjoy quality of life
– Hunter is growing to be an independent child. He is able to soothe himself to sleep and when he wakes up in the middle of the night, he doesn’t make a big fuss. He plays with his BunBun (the Rabbit Bear companion by Babes of Bliss) or sucks on his hands or teether until he falls asleep again. (It still amazes me how a 4 month old baby can do that)
– When we travel, Hunter doesn’t mind being in a different space as long as we follow the routine that is familiar to him
We signed up for sleep training because prior to my sessions with Gabrielle, Hunter was sleeping 3.5hrs max. In just one day, Gabrielle changed that to 12 hours. It was AMAZING and mind blowing.
As a working mom, it was hard for me to block off 2 weeks to sleep train. This made me more committed to it… making sure I get most value from the coaching.
To my surprise, it taught me so much more than just sleep training. I’m now more confident handling and being with my baby. I no longer depend on the nurses or the yaya. It has changed me in so many ways… it made me a more empowered mom!
Thank you Gabrielle for being my coach. Because of you, Hunter is a happy and growing baby. You taught me so much more than I ever expected. I can now confidently say that I’m ready for more babies.
Contacted Gabrielle out of desperation when my baby’s sleep schedule was out of whack after jetlag. It was a great experience despite the strict schedule. She taught me so much about my baby,
I don’t normally write reviews but this time, I am making an exception. I want to share my experience with Gabrielle. My son was 5 months old when I contacted Gabrielle,
we were having a hard time making him sleep. His yaya has to rock him to sleep and carry him the whole time so that he stays asleep. At night, he would wake up every 2 hours and I would nurse him to sleep. Sometimes, it takes a few minutes; other times, it would take an hour. I believe sleep is very important to his growth so I made sure everyone at home understands this and cooperates, to the point where nobody can move during the times he is asleep so as not to wake him. It was very stressful. I got a schedule with Gabrielle but it wasn’t soon enough for me. My baby vomited because he was crying too much,, too tired probably and still can’t sleep. I had to do something. Keeping my schedule with Gabrielle, I contacted another sleep coach hoping that she could help my baby. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. I was told that my baby was stubborn and difficult. I was getting more stressed not being able to do something for my baby and also started to worry more about the upcoming sleep training with Gabrielle. What if it doesn’t work? What will happen to my baby? What if she says the same thing as the other coach? So many negative thoughts coming to mind. Aside from not being able to sleep well, my baby didn’t gain weight or height for the past month. The problems just keep on piling up.
The day to meet with Gabrielle came. I am excited and at the same time apprehensive. Gabrielle explained the plan to me and I am very scared because the success relies on me. On the first day of sleep training, my baby didn’t nap and cried through it. I was very stressed. Gabrielle was very supportive and not only walked me through the different aspects of a baby’s sleep, but also listened and empathized to how I was feeling. That was very important for me to carry on to the next few days. Aside from my baby’s sleep, she was also very supportive of my breastfeeding problems. She really looks at all aspects of how to give your baby a good sleep. Fast forward to a month, my baby is sleeping well and gained weight and height. I don’t think this would be possible without Gabrielle’s help. I can’t thank her enough.
I decided to sleep train my daughter Allegra when she turned 6.5 months. Gabrielle is exceptional at what she does. She is knowledgeable and was encouraging.
I’m so glad we had this experience with Gabrielle. Our little one never slept through the night withouy help. So, I couldn’t believe it when it happened, the night I put my baby down
Everyone has their reasons why or why not to sleep train. My main reason was because my back couldn’t take it any longer. I’ve had a serious back problem for years now and
have been told by doctors that l cannot carry anything heavier than 5 pounds. Can’t run, do any sort of explosive exercise, can’t bend over and definitely should not put on weight. I was very careful through pregnancy and for some strange reason didn’t feel any of my usual back pains. But after… Carrying, rocking, swaying my baby to sleep while drowning him in milk in the hopes that he will pass out milk drunk- was not working anymore. The simple most natural motherly act of carrying ones new born baby put me in bed immobile for 3 weeks. And I couldn’t take anything for the pain either as I was breastfeeding. Three months later it happened again. I felt so helpless and useless as a mother and completely betrayed by my body. But I was lucky to have had help. Raising a baby truly does take a village. My husband, my parents, his parents all stepped in to help. We carried on like this making it work the best we could for almost a year. But by about 9/10 months old my son wasn’t having any of it. He was done with the rocking and carrying and endless humming. He’d sort of squirm and kick out of the arms of whoever was carrying him to sleep and cry and cry in frustration. We knew then we needed help. We needed a change and we needed sleep.
In comes Gabrielle to the rescue! Meeting this angel of sleep and going through 3 weeks coaching for my then 12 month old baby boy was the best parenting choice my husband and I have ever made. Her gentle, common sense sleep training method helped us help our baby sleep and in the process knit us all closer as a family. She helped us understand that it’s ok to put down the baby. That our baby is a sentient being that knows how to fall asleep on his own if we just trust him to do so. She taught us how to really look and listen. To watch before we react. To listen carefully to his cries. To talk to him slowly and explain. Her coaching did not only revolve around sleep but mealtimes, nutrition, and daily routines. After a month of eating the baby led way, with less milk too to make way for solid food, my sons pedia was finally very happy with his weight gain! We signed up for sleep training and got so much more out of it. Gabrielle taught us about respect and boundaries and how to apply these principles in all aspects of a baby’s daily life. Healthy sleep can only be achieved when all other aspects are in balance too. She taught me how to take a step back and observe instead of always needing to be the one to be needed. Our life is suddenly more calm and delightfully predictable. Bedtime is no longer a dreaded battle repeated every few hours. Naptime is no longer a wishful hope but a thing that actually happens consistently- everyday- at the same time. I no longer have to guess and worry (oh is he sleepy? Hungry? Did he have enough milk? Did I feed him enough?). That minute by minute dialog in my head is gone, that burden lifted. Now we have a clear cut schedule and a peaceful enjoyable nap/bedtime routine that works every time. Now l can focus on the baby in front of me and soak up each minute watching him play and grow. And the very best thing of all is that I can take care of my son, do the routine by myself- without breaking my back.
Gabrielle provides an excellent service, both repectful with the child’s needs and efficient! My son acquired stable sleeping habits thanks to her coaching programme
Sleep training was the hardest thing I have ever done in my life but it is also one the most rewarding experiences I’ve had and all thanks to Gabrielle.
For 6 months, I co-sleep with my son, rocked, cradled and held him during his sleeps. He would only take 30-minutes nap and wouldn’t go back to sleep unless I hold him. At night, although he sleeps longer, he still wouldn’t go back to sleep unless I hold him too. I couldn’t do anything for the day, house chores and work. I know this is something I wouldn’t want to do my whole life because it is unhealthy for me and for my son. So I seek help. And I’m so glad I found Gabrielle!She was there with me throughout the whole training. I live in Japan and the time is one hour in advance compared to Manila and she made sure to sync her time with me so she can accommodate me even in the morning and late night hours and I really appreciate that. She was always there to answer all my questions anytime of the day. She gave me detailed guidelines, and feedings schedules that is personalized to our baby’s lifestyle. I loved that this training is doesn’t have a “textbook” approach so “rules” change everyday depending on the situation. Sometimes I get it wrong (well, most of the time…) but she would kindly correct me and explain why and what should be the approach.
I remember on the first night, I wanted to give up but Gabrielle was there the whole time giving me courage to go on. And was I glad I followed through because as early as the 2nd night, I witnessed my son able to go to sleep on his own. And on the fifth night, he was able to sleep throughout the night already!
Thank you Gabrielle, for giving me, my husband and my son the gift of sleep. You are heaven sent!
Sleep training was the hardest thing I have ever done in my life but it is also one
the most rewarding experiences I’ve had and all thanks to Gabrielle.
My husband & I decided to seek the professional help of Gabrielle after some
friends shared with us their great experience with her as a baby sleep coach.
After dancing and swaying my first two kids to sleep, I knew I wanted to sleep
train my 3rd baby.
I am so so very grateful for the help and support offered by our sleep angel,
Gabrielle. Sleep training our now 6 month old baby boy has been challenging and
yet extremely rewarding for myself and my husband.
The two weeks of sleep training were the toughest two weeks of my life as a
parent. But, spoiler alert, things do get better.
It all started with Gabrielle’s the Baby Listening™/Dunstan Baby Language™ workshop. In an Oprah Winfrey tone, this was, “Amazing”! We were able to attend to every need of our newborn just by listening to his cries. It was truly an awakening.
It’s going really well!! She is so much more predictable and patterns are starting to emerge because now we understand her needs better.
As for sleep, she’s moved to her bassinet completely since we last spoke. The last two days we witnessed for the first time she is settling herself to sleep for her naps and evening sleepies. We’ve been catching the moment right and supporting it with the right environment though in the evening she still likes to fall asleep on the boob and is impossible to wake at times! But yessss we are so happy with how it’s going so far and my nanny has been part of the entire process! We are ready for the next class!
We also don’t immediately feed now and were observing that he self soothes himself if all we hear is “Owh” or sometimes “Heh”. Were trying to burp him as often as possible but it gets really tiring specially at night.”
“I was so nervous during the days leading up to the start of my baby’s sleep training. I was considering forfeiting the payment and cancelling due to the nerves. It’s a good thing I didn’t because now I’m reaping the benefits. My son is sleeping well (and straight at night!) and is always is always smiling when he wakes up.
This has given me more time for myself to focus on my work during the day and relax at night.
Gabrielle taught me how to help the baby learn self soothe without leaving the baby the cry it out by himself. It really was the best approach for me and my personality. What I had a tough time with was the strict schedule that we had to follow but a few days in and we have gotten the hang of it. It really works.
What I also appreciate about Gabrielle is that the approach is very holistic. She will not only help you with the sleeping but also with the feeding, which was a big plus for me! She is also able to explain why certain things are being done so that you are not just following blindly.
I’ve recommended Gabrielle to several friends already and when they are ready, I hope she will be able to help them the way she helped me.”
Working with Gabrielle to adjust our son’s sleeping and waking habits was such a delightful and insightful experience. She was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the whole process.
More than just the sleeping adjustments, Gabrielle was able to enlighten us on a very modern and holistic and respectable approach to parenting, which we appreciated very much. Will definitely recommend babesofbliss.org to new mamas and papas out there!
Hubby has been so happy and kept saying thank you to you. Bub has been sleeping through the night since Friday.
He is drinking more milk for his lunch and dinner feeds and we have adjusted well to the given routine
He falls asleep faster now too with no assistance.
I was very hesitant doing sleep training with my son in the beginning due to some mothers around me who say cry it out is the best way, I met Coach Gabrielle through my 2 best friends who have successful sleep training journeys with babes of bliss and had the courage to try it out.
My son being completely breastfed was the ultimate challenge, as we cannot really count how much he eats every feed. Coach Gab always said the feeds are his anchors to sleep. My son was able to adapt on the daytime naps very quickly but was not ready to sleep through the night just yet. I guess it is really relative per baby. We were able to establish a routine for my son and I could already plan out my days, and my me-time in between is naps and I could be efficient during the day while working from home. These were our wins, which mean the world to me.
Thank you, Coach Gab for being patient with us and guiding us in this journey. 🙂
I’ve done much research on sleep training for my 1 and a half year old who has co-slept with me since birth, but I’ve been afraid to start it. There were so many what ifs and variables that I pictured going wrong and they were paralyzing because I had no one to ask if problems came up.
And come up they did, but Gabrielle was there to help me through every one. It was more than her having the answers though. She also gave me the confidence to trust the process, my own instincts and that my son and I could work together on sleeping better. He is doing so well now and I am amazed by the results!
My baby was a really good sleeper. We sticked to a routine and we sleep trained her but at the 9th month mark, she became really fuzzy. We decided to consult with Gabrielle. Gabrielle was very clear and consistent with what was needed in order for our baby to sleep well during naps and at night.
Gabrielle was there all throughout and even months after! She was very supportive of our small wins and she addressed all our challenges. We’re very grateful for her guidance!
Even though I’m a mom of 6, I was a nervous wreck at the thought of sleep training my prematurely born babies. Can they do it? they seem so small and fragile! But I was amazed when my 4th child, Rocio was sleep trained by Gabrielle.
I was committed on my decision to have my twins sleep trained. With Rocio, I didn’t know babies had a language. It was hard to believe that babies do have a a language and those moans, cries or whines have meaning. They literally have something to say and they are telling you something, they want to be heard, you just have to listen. These are the things I have learned from Gabrielle, which became the foundation for helping my twins learn how to be sleep on their own.
I was expecting that I’d have a tougher time with my twin b, Alvaro since he was the whiner more than twin a, Antonio. On our first day, this little guy surprised me by sleeping on his own on his first morning nap. He showed us that he can actually do it! With Rocio, I remember having a tough time! It was difficult to hear her cry/complain and I was always in panic since I haven’t fully comprehended what baby language means. Every whine, complaint, moan or even whimper would worry me. This time round bec of the lessons and instructions Gabrielle has taught me it was like riding a bike. I might have forgotten in the beginning, I had no confidence; I was second-guessing myself if I can do it. Gabrielle reminded me that it is in me, with her constant guidance and coaching it was unlocked, you never truly forget. My experience with my twins is surprisingly more smooth sailing than with Rocio. Rocio took longer to adjust and probably it’s because I got some of her signals wrong , there was more trial and error. But this time, because of the lessons I have learned from Gabrielle previously, the cues were clearer, I was able to respond faster and met my babies’ needs which benefitted all of us. Sleep training with the twins believe it or not was not the way I pictured it. I had a more pleasant (or less stressful?) experience compared to Rocio’s even if they are x 2!
What a very helpful online class it was! Hubby and I found it very helpful in navigating this first week of our newborn, we listened to the class while at the hospital!
Before taking this workshop, we seldom burp baby but now once we hear the language even in the middle of the feed we carry her up then she will burp aloud!
This workshop is a Holistic approach and is not just about the Baby Language. Gabrielle gives actual examples for the baby sounds in her evidence based lecture.
My biggest take-aways from this workshop were learning the “sounds” of baby & listening to them instead of making a routine.
I can’t wait to try it with my second baby & see the difference!
This workshop has helped me be more attuned to addressing real issues/ discomforts of my baby rather than automatically breastfeeding.
After taking this workshop, I noticed that I attune to each cry now instead of offering the boob immediately.
This workshop taught us the sounds for burping, colic & massage.
My eldest used to suffer from bad colic before, but now I’m wondering if it’s just due to not burping properly!
“This workshop taught us that cries are not all the same and that sounds indicate different needs.
I am a second time mom but am much calmer when my baby makes sounds since I learned that not all are actual cries. I am also more confident in taking care of her cos I know how to attend to her needs.
I loved the extra information given about attachment parenting in this workshop and the in depth analysis of each cry & the helpful examples of each cry.
This workshop is informative & relevant and Gabrielle is just so accommodating and genuinely interested to help out.
Just like to report LO (four months already!) now sleeps average of 10-11hrs for about 2 weeks now. She makes noises just like the other mamas feedback, around 2am & 5am but just goes back to sleep.
This workshop taught me that it’s so important to listen to my baby’s cries so I can provide what she needs instead of assuming she’s hungry. Especially for my baby who spits up a lot.
Learning how to determine whether my baby was experiencing gas pains or hunger instead was so helpful for me!
Good morning, Gabrielle! Let me start by saying Thank you for the Baby
Listening Workshop™!
Our learnings there have drastically changed how we care for our baby.
She is so much happier now and less stressed!
Hey Gabrielle!! Just wanted to share, we took your advice yesterday & exclusively breastfed right after your call. We were a bit nervous dinner time as we were anticipating him waking up after an hour but he ended up sleeping a record 10 hours!!
The most important thing that I learned in this workshop was learning how to understand baby language & what to do when we hear them.
It made our lives easier & more peaceful.
Hello Gabrielle! This is Crizia Ang, one of the attendees of your Baby Listening™/Baby Language class this afternoon at TPE. I know we should update you next week but I’m just so happy and excited to share with you that we’ve successfully let our 7 week old go to sleep without our intervention!
Loved the explanation of the topics. Clear & easy to understand.
The workshop answered things not found online or on youtube. It concentrates on preventing the problem before it becomes a problem.
“Would just like to say thank you so much for guiding me through this process Gabrielle. The improvement over these 2 weeks has been amazing and we’re already starting to feel refreshed and I have more energy to play with him during the day.
Also it’s helped us have more confidence in listening to his cries and knowing when to go in vs. when to let him try for himself.“
“I am so thankful for your guidance. I know there will be rougher days but this whole experience just made me extremely confident on how to be a parent by teaching something that would be a good habit for a lifetime. I wasn’t able to experience this as a baby but I’m happy Justin gets to learn this as such a young age.
This experience taught me the difference between being a caretaker and being a parent. I didn’t expect he would be able to sleep on his own that fast–we were sleep training him for a month before I contacted you and he was still waking up at night–but through your guidance it helped me to know that I don’t need to be with him 24/7 just to be fine. I think my psychiatrist will be glad to know how I’m taking things well now, thanks to you!”
“I hated not being able to get Luca to sleep. I didn’t like having to rely on my helper (if my husband was not here) to carry Luca to sleep. She had lots of other jobs to do around the house. Of her own accord she would stop what she was doing and come in and take him from me. My method of rocking wasn’t working anymore.
To have to give my son to someone else because I couldn’t do it made me feel so inferior and helpless as a mom. We have no regrets about sleep training with you! It’s tough love on our part so worth it! My husband feels so much closer to Luca now. He really loves nap time and story time with Luca!”
This workshop gave me the confidence not to panic when baby cries, take a breather and actually listen to what our child needs.
After taking this workshop, we have a peaceful home where baby doesn’t cry a lot. Whenever we’re out, the baby is also more sociable because all his needs are always met & he trusts that. I’m also more patient with my baby whenever he is being fussy.
“Gabrielle is the best! She just helped me teach our then 12 month old son to sleep through the night and it’s one of the best decisions we’ve made. I can’t recommend her enough.
We were co – sleeping, had lots of sleep associations (rocking, feed to sleep) and would wake 2-3 times a night. He would also not sleep unless he was beside us. Gabrielle evaluated his milk intake and sleep challenges and developed a new routine for my son. He can now sleep on his own and no longer wakes up at night to feed.
Gabrielle, I’ve been reading back on our threads, as well as my threads with Mike during the course of training and I’m just so amazed at the progression.
Again, many many thanks for your patience with us. We still sometimes stare at the monitor in awe of how quickly he now falls asleep. Mike’s current record is under 2 minutes! One time, I put him down for his nap and just sat down, played with his toys, then slept. Mind blown.
So grateful for your help in teaching my son independence and NOT co-dependence.”
“Hi Gabrielle, Just wanted to share my great news with you. I had a session with my psychiatrist and we will start weaning from the antidepressants and I’ll be off before the year ends, two months earlier than the original plan.
She attributed that my baby’s sleep extremely helped since I’m able to find my own time to do stuff I wasn’t able to do (which was a major cause for my postpartum). I couldn’t thank you enough for the support and guidance you have given me for our coaching.I was told by quite a few mothers who have said they could have done the same thing without your help but personally, your guidance couldn’t match those “unsolicited” advices. My son can now sit up, crawl and is less fussy after your help. Plus, he was able to soothe himself back to sleep at night even when he was teething.”
“Gabrielle’s approach towards a child’s wellbeing focuses on gentle yet solid routines that are easy for both parent and child. Her thorough explanation is not only friendly but also gives you confidence (as a fellow mum) in making the right decisions for your child, setting them up for success.
“Olivia was 7 months old when I contacted Gabrielle because at 4 months she stopped sleeping and started waking around every half hour all night long (sometimes to BF, sometimes not)!!
After 3 months I had practically lost my mind! Gabrielle helped me to find an age appropriate routine and food schedule and then set a sleep structure. She was fantastic and her advice worked perfectly for Olivia. Would highly recommend her.
“Gabrielle, I have no idea what on earth we would have done without you to be honest. I dread to think what we would still be doing right now. Your help and advice was invaluable, it worked so well for Olivia.”
