What People Are Saying
Visit our Facebook page to see what parents are saying about Mum2You.
“Mum2you enabled our baby to have significantly better sleep while still supporting and valuing our breastfeeding journey and attachment-style parenting. Our baby was a chronic co-sleeper who woke every 1–2 hours and has now learned to comfortably fall asleep independently (without tears) in their own cot for extended periods. Mum2you gave my family the confidence to learn new ways to support, listen and respond to our baby and their needs. Further, Mum2you was able to connect my wife and I with external services to support our needs, which has been extremely beneficial. We are so thankful to Mum2you and their approach to sleep - it has allowed the whole family to learn new skills and most importantly, have better quality sleep.”

“Krys is nothing short of a life saver. We were at our wits end and didn’t know what to do. I was getting so desperate to help our little girl sleep, I was looking far and wide and looking at spending ridiculous amounts of money, when I came across Krys. We’ve never ever had this idea that our kids have to sleep through from a certain age, but after 2 years of waking hourly, sometimes even half hourly, our daughter was suffering and struggling. She was off her food and was miserable and I felt helpless because I knew she wasn’t coping with the lack of sleep. As you can imagine, the tantrums following this were relentless and it was beyond tiring and mentally and emotionally draining. I came across Krys’ page late one night and emailed straight away, to which she replied to me within 10min. Arranged a phone meeting and from that conversation I knew she was our person. Not only is Krys a complete bad a$$ in all aspects of nursing and child nursing, but she is also a big advocate for attachment parenting and circle or security, which was honestly the biggest relief because my husband and I were terrified that there was only going to be one answer to try and help our little girl sleep..Krys floated into our house during her ‘witching hour’ session and from that night on, our perspectives and parenting have evolved even more. She sat on the floor with us in the bathroom, she laid beside us in the bedroom, she sat with our son and chatted and was so ooo supporting, we honestly could not have asked for a more amazing experience. From sleep, to behavioural tricks and support and advice, Krys is without a doubt the best in the business. Thank you Krys, from the bottom of our hearts. Michael, Anne, Nate and Vera xx”

“Krys was fabulous. We approached Krys for support with our 15mo daughter who was waking 15-20 times a night and needing hands-on help to get back to sleep. Krys was understanding, kind, empathetic and extremely knowledgeable. Change isn’t always easy, but Krys was there to support us through it, and we are so grateful now that we took this step. Our lives have improved dramatically, as has my relationship with my daughter. One night with Krys was all it took to see dramatic change, then using the guidelines that were set as well as my own intuition, our daughter’s sleep improved over the next couple of weeks until we have reached a point that she is generally only up at night if she is genuinely needing support - e.g. if she is sick, in pain, or hungry etc. We have learned the tools necessary to help her sleep well. We couldn’t be more pleased with the service and 100% recommend Krys!”

“I highly recommend Krys! It took me a lot of ask for help and I’m so glad I did, my baby was only sleeping on me and I couldn’t keep living like that, just when I was about to give up “super nanny” krys flew in to help me. My 4 month old now sleeps in his cot, car seat (which he hated!) and pram not attached to me! I highly recommend krys, her work is unreal not only for Bub but for mums also.”

“I had the absolute pleasure of having Krys with us for the executive stay, there wouldn’t be enough words or space to fully show my appreciation.
I found Krys to be encouraging, supportive, playful, educational, relatable and very thoughtful. She stayed right with me every step of the way, I felt empowered and deeply cared for while my 2 month baby girl learned to feel comfortable to sleep in her crib and not on mum! There were tears of relief and gratitude for our time together, I’m so proud to say after a week of dedicated practice my baby’s sleep has improved hugely, everyday I see how those two days with Krys has set me up to succeed both for sleep for my baby but also for my well-being. Thank you so much”

“Krys gave us fantastic insight into all things baby which helped us dramatically with sleep. Calmer parents definitely has meant calmer baby with bed time. Thankful”

“I went to one of Krys’ workshops at Noddy’s Café. It was such a lovely intimate setting with a small group. Krys is very passionate and non judgmental of any style and her imparting knowledge has been an absolute game changer for my family!”
