Hi Mary-Ann. I have a question: Is method in any way similar to the ones recommended by Dr Bucknam, Dr. Weissbluth or Dr. Karp? We tried those but none of them help.

Hi Regina, thank you for your question. The short answer is no. The techniques I share in my guide are based on newest scientific research and this is why I have never seen any approach similar to the one I recommend.

Mirella CruzEl Paso, TX

This method really works! I tried it on my son Jesus and after just one week he went from waking up more than 5 times a night to waking up just once or twice. You are a lifesaver, Mary-Ann!

I just completed your approach and I have to say, it worked almost too well. Yes, it took a bit of getting used to with your bedtime routine but the difference is huge. My son George used to take 1 hours to go down and now he's firmly asleep in no more than 10 minutes! You're the best!

It seems I'm the only man watching this video, lol! What you shared about the 'emotional backpack' made immediate sense to me and I can't wait to help my little girl Mila to unpack it!

Real-Life Stories from Parents

“I remember when our little James was born, his eyebrows were so faint, they were almost non-existent. We live in Hoboken, New Jersey, and it’s kind of a community thing to have monthly meetups with other parents, sort of a baby club. I was always a bit self-conscious about James’s lack of eyebrows because all the other babies seemed to have theirs. I tried all the old wives’ tales: massaging the area with breast milk, using a soft brush to stimulate growth, even applying a tiny bit of castor oil. Nothing seemed to work. Now, James is 3 years old, and his eyebrows have just started to become visible. So, hang in there, fellow parents. Sometimes, nature just needs its time.”

“Hello everyone, I’m Emilia from the colorful city of New Orleans. My daughter, Ava, didn’t have any eyebrows when she was born. Now, if you know anything about New Orleans, you’ll know that we’re big on character and uniqueness. I was initially worried but soon realized it wasn’t a big deal. I decided not to intervene with the eyebrow situation and let it be. Today, Ava is 2 years old with still no eyebrows. But she’s still the happiest and most charismatic child you’ll ever meet. Her eyes speak volumes, and to me, that’s what matters most.”

“We live in a small town near Austin, Texas. Our pediatrician was always reassuring us that our son Caleb’s eyebrows will grow back after the cradle cap episode. And true to her words, they did, but it took almost 5 months. There were many sleepless nights and lots of research on the internet, not to mention the number of oil concoctions we tried. It was an exhausting phase, but when those little arcs finally appeared, it was nothing short of a miracle. We still fondly call him our ‘browless wonder.'”
