Holly Valance
“I don’t know what I would have done without Alison. She’s IS magic. I’m very protective, wanted to do it all my self but simply didn’t know how to help my baby, but when Alison arrived I knew she was in the most loving caring hands.”

Millie Mackintosh & Sienna
It is no exaggeration to say that The Sensational Baby Sleep Plan was an absolute game changer for me and for my daughter. It was a helping hand when we needed it most, a wise voice that rose above the noise, and a guide that offered me some semblance of control when everything felt overwhelming.
Joe Cole
I had no idea what to expect when Alison came to stay and didn’t have much faith that she could get Ruby sleeping – wow, how wrong was I? Within days our 10 month old was sleeping soundly through the night. Alison has since come back and helped with both the boys and they are all still fantastic sleepers. Joe Cole
Carly Cole
Alison is truly our ‘Sleep Fairy’. I was so nervous when she first came to stay but within minutes I felt at ease and knew my precious baby girl was in safe hands. Alison is amazing in what she does but also as a person and I’m so grateful to have her in my life and I still seek her advice to help with all the challenges we face with our ever developing little ones.

‘Alison changed my nights for the better and for the good. She has an incredible understanding of what makes children tick… and more importantly what makes them sleep!’
Ann-Marie Duff
Alison Scott-Wright is an amazing specialist who works with babies, helping them with sleep, acid-reflux and other things. Alison was a very important part of my life and had a way with children that I had never seen before and haven’t since. She’s just an amazing friend and been such a help to me.
Holly Willoughby
In her fabulous book, Holly refers to much of the advice she gained from Alison and mentions some of the great tips she picked up and put into practise when – back in the day, she needed a little extra help with managing Chester’s reflux and sleep.
Giovanna Fletcher
‘One of the main concepts I loved from the book was the introduction of a bedtime routine. The first night we followed the new schedule Buzz managed to sleep a solid seven hours. SEVEN!”
Harriet Newton
My mummy and Daddy knew I was poorly when I was just a few weeks old, but they just didn’t know how to help me. Luckily they found Alison, who came to our house to help us. She taught them how to manage my reflux so I could drink my milk. Now Alison’s teaching me how to eat food – It’s a bit messy, but I’m loving it. Thank you to my very own Magic Sleep Fairy……..she really is MAGIC, Love from Harriet” (5 months)
Sophie Walklate
You are the best thing to ever happen to me! You took away all my reflux pain and understood I couldn’t tolerate cow’s milk, taught me how to feed without it hurting and how to sleep all night long. I’m so lucky to have met you Alison, you have made my Mummy & Daddy – and Me, so very happy. We all love you! Xxx
Dr Eltumi
I have known Alison for over 18 years both professionally & personally and in 2009 I was very happy to write the foreword for her brilliant book The Sensational Baby Sleep Plan. Not only does her book help parents resolve sleep issues with their babies but the last chapter gives detailed information on colic, reflux and dietary related intolerances. Alison has tremendous and rather valuable experience with babies who have feeding difficulties, reflux and sleep problems.
Clare Byam-Cook
I have known Alison professionally for many years and I am not surprised that grateful clients view her as The Magic Sleep Fairy. Whenever I refer mothers to Alison, they sing her praises and I have witnessed first-hand her ability to feed and settle a baby with complex issues such as gastro-oesophageal reflux. If you can’t see Alison, buy her book.

Jonathan Trott
When Alison arrived we were a family in complete distress. Lexi was 6 weeks old cried most of the day & night and was a very unhappy baby who even frowned when she was sleeping. Everyone in the family was baffled as to why she wouldn’t settle and was so restless. After reading Alison’s book, most importantly the last chapter where she lists the symptoms of silent reflux, I realised that was the problem. Alison’s visit saved our family, she brought calm reassurance, knowledge, experience and got Lexi on the right medication and formula.
Nathalie Harrison
My baby never liked to sleep. From the word go she was not a big kipper. But, she’s a baby! What did I expect!
At around the 6 month mark we realised not only had she never slept through but not even close, and our status quo was her waking every hour and a half or so. I was so exhausted but it was wrapped up and disguised in the veil of happiness of her arrival.
Millie Mackintosh & Sienna
Sienna was breech – which means that before she was born she was positioned with her head above her feet – and this is known to sometimes cause hip problems. We were therefore offered a routine scan when she was twelve weeks old to check how her hips were developing. We weren’t expecting any problems. But we left that appointment feeling shocked and quite distressed.
Roxie Nafousi
Alison absolutely changed my life in just 1 night! I had been waking up with Wolfe every single hour for months and I was just exhausted. In one night, she came, got rid of dummy, gave me invaluable advice and within a few days Wolfe was sleeping 12 hours straight and he still is now! Thank you Alison, you are just such a kind and wonderful person and I am so happy to have met you! All my love, Roxie xx
Madeleine Shaw
Alison was a life saver for me. My son Shay wasn’t feeding was so unhappy and I couldn’t figure out why. Alison swept in and saved the day, after a week or two he was sleeping through the night and all smiles. I can’t thank her enough she is exactly what she says she is the Magic Sleepy Fairy and just a gorgeous person to have met.

Thank you for everything u have done for us !!!
I was so greatful that my dear friend e-introduced us – even though we live on the different sides of the world, you were always able to find a moment to give me precious advice. I felt very alone living over here in New York and no one listened to me when I raised concerns about my baby being in pain.
Clementine and her very happy Mummy
Book Testimonial
Alison Scott-wright thank you thank you thank you AGAIN….. my 12 week old baby Clementine slept ALL the way through the night last night. she was actually born just over 3 weeks early and has reflux so has been slightly more challenging than my last child who I also followed your plan with and slept through at 9 weeks! Seriously your plan is genius simple, easy to follow, direct all the things I need. Clementine also sleeps for 2, 3 hour naps in her cot each day or if we are out in her sling no problem… I could take her to a nightclub and she wouldn’t stir 😂
Kit
We were at our wits end when Alison arrived. Our little boy Kit, was so unhappy. He would sleep, he was being sick constantly and if we tried to travel in the car with him, he screamed out in agony. Alison was SO incredible at identifying he had reflux and a cows milk allergy. She immediately took it in hand and we now have a different baby. Smiley, happy and sleeps better than us! This woman is simply the best at what she does”
Samantha
A huge fan of the podcasts.
I just wanted to say how glad I am that I bought your book when I was pregnant and after hearing you on the at @madebymamas podcast and didn’t bother to confuse myself with all the other info out there, which suggests babies are too young to sleep through etc.
