I found out about this program scrolling through a Pinterest-blog (yes, guilty) but so happy I did!
My 11-month-old would still wake up 2-4 times a night to feed, and wake up before 6 am. Plus, I rocked him to sleep which I did not mind but sometimes that would take over 45 minutes!
Sleep deprivation was getting harder and harder to handle. My mood would change drastically, and I felt I was not giving my 110% towards my baby.
The program offers several methods to sleep train your LO based on where he/she is at. For us, it was the chair method and it worked on the first night! Yep, he slept the ENTIRE night.
Still working on the early waking with the support team, which are amazing. They respond same day and always give their best insight.
Definitely will be recommending this program to family and friends.

Really was simple! (14 mo old)
We used BSMS for our 14 month old and the process and results have been great. It took just a couple weeks to go from 2-4+ wakings per night (recent record was 10!) to ZERO. I now spend about 30 min helping baby wind down with an enjoyable routine, then I leave the room he falls asleep peacefully. I get downtime, and because he reliably sleeps 12 hours I also know when to wake up to be ready just before he gets up.
While all this might have been possible with other resources, BSMS helped with easy lessons and guides that I referenced often. The support team was responsive and they consulted each other when needed. Our baby's responses to the process weren't textbook, but they helped us work through it. And, frankly, paying someone to help made me buckle down and follow through! Our whole family is enjoying the results.
[Full disclosure: we were offered an extra week of support from the consultant team in return for this review. However, this is my honest experience, and things are so good we probably won't need it, lol.]

1-yr-old: from waking every hr to SLEEPING 12 HOURS STRT EVERY NIGHT
This was the perfect things for us! Our baby has transformed for an 11-month-old who couldn't sleep for more that 40 minutes without me next to her and would was wake to nurse every hour of the night into a 1-year-old who sleeps 12 HOURS STRAIGHT EVERY NIGHT.
I've always been uncomfortable with the idea of sleep training. Responding to my baby's expression of needs is extremely important to me. But I started to feel resentment during a rare visit to my family who lives out of town for a few weeks and I never even got any adult time with them to catch up or play a game.
This program has gentle options and quicker options and was so much more affordable than any others I found. (2 other gentle programs I found we're both around $1500 and this was on sale under $200) I really needed something that I could get support and accountability throughout the process since sticking to change and routine is difficult for me. We decided it would be a Valentine's day gift to me and my husband and it's been the very best investment.
Another thing I loved about the way this program was designed was that it gave just 1 simple step to take every day to improve your baby's sleep. It didn't feel too overwhelming or dramatic, and you saw results with little changes which felt very encouraging and motivating. When the more challenging steps came along you felt ready and hopeful.
Would recommend to all family and friends if I hadn't been a known anti-sleep training advocate 😂 but you should do it since you don't know me and can't judge me for being a hypocrite.

I am an insomniac and I remember the first night I stopped sleeping as a child. Throughout my pregnancy I slept 1-3 hours per night and was so scared that my child was going to have these same habits. Through our newborn stage this was a super power for me but I know it is not a sustainable lifestyle and it was very important to me to instill good sleep habits in my LO. Jolly’s scientific and gentle approach brought so much perspective to our lives and enabled us to stop waking Rori up by running to her. Immediately she started sleeping through the night. I am fully aware that this is not the experience every family gets to have and we are so fortunate to have such a content baby but lesson 5 and 6 were so enlightening that lesson 7 was a breeze. It was information that we needed to transition Rori to sleeping through the night. Thank you BSMS And Jilly for figuring this out for us!!

Sunni, Thank you so much for your review! We are so happy to hear Rori is sleeping amazing. Your whole family should be proud of all the hard work put into the sleep process. I hope you can start getting more sleep too! Best, Alyssa, BSMS Support Team

My daughter slept fairly well until about 4 months old. Then, she began waking almost every hour and nursing multiple times a night. I suffered through about 60 days of hell before I stumbled across Baby Sleep Made Simple online (I don’t remember how, those days were a blur). I was sleep deprived, struggling with postpartum depression, and absolutely desperate to find a sleeping solution! Jilly’s credentials were what really sold me. She’s a neonatal nurse and a mom of two. The latter was what really sold me! I signed up for the 21 Days to Peace & Quiet course (with support) immediately!
The course was worth EVERY… SINGLE… PENNY! I made my way to Lesson 7, and I decided to use the Pick Up Put Down Method (PUPD). I was so worried my daughter would be up crying all night, and I would get even less sleep. Thankfully, that was NOT the case. My daughter only cried for 1 hour total, in a 12 hr period, on the very first night! I was blown away! I was so motivated to keep going and stay consistent. I also loved the fact that Jilly offered so many different sleep training methods to try, and you can pick the one that works for your family.
I used the Slack App to communicate with Jilly’s Team, and I tried to attend as many Zoom Calls as I could. Jilly & her Team answered every single one of my questions, even the ones that pertained to my 4 year old daughter’s sleep. They also provided me with practical solutions to all my problems. Most importantly, they make all their suggestions unique to YOUR child because they know that every child is different.
I am so incredibly grateful to Jilly & her Team! I am still working on sleep training my 6 month old daughter. My daughter used to wake up 5-10 times per night. Now, she wakes up once (only for a few minutes) and then resettles herself, and a second time for a feed! Watching her resettle herself on the baby monitor is PURE JOY! I am so proud that she is learning to fall asleep without assistance. I am forever grateful to Jilly and her Team for giving me the tools I needed to teach my daughter how to sleep independently!! I would give 10 stars if possible!

5 month puts himself to sleep for 11.5 hours !
Really helped my baby put himself to sleep on his own! He started waking up earlier but has started to get closer to that 7am wake up which is the dream but the programme and support really helped also with reassurance what I was doing was correct :)
I said to my partner if I had any advice for a new parent invest in a good sleep trainer and this is the one

Great program for everyone
Great program for everyone!
My favorite part of this program was that there were different sleep training methods depending on your parenting style and your babies temperament. I also loved that there was no shaming for cosleeping. I was worried of being judged for cosleeping with my LO for a couple of months but this program had steps on how to deal with that. I liked that there is also a Facebook group and zoom sessions available to ask questions.
I am grateful for Jilly and her team for teaching us how to sleep train our LO. He does cry still because of his strong will but once he falls asleep on his own he stays asleep for 10-11 hours! We are so proud of him for learning independent sleep and to have our evenings back.
So thank you Jilly and team for your training and support!

So far so good!
Highly recommended!
I’ve edited this post after just 2 days into lesson 7 (im doing the chair method for sleep training). The progress is astounding!!!
We were able to get bedtime moved 2hours earlier and naps better and more consolidated during the day from the first few lessons. We are now in the beginning stages of lesson 7 and feeling very supported by the support team. Grateful for their quick and helpful replies and how understanding they are of the stress of baby sleep. Would definitely recommend.
