Food & Sleep Programme
Food & Sleep Programme
For parents with children 5½ to 18 months
This programme combines guidance on food introduction and sleep, with the aim of helping your child enjoy nutrient-rich meals and sleep through the night, while learning the skill of self-settling by the end of the two-week programme.
It is underpinned by Amanda’s gentle four-stage settling method, which avoids cry-out or controlled crying approaches.
Parents receive a customised 24-hour schedule addressing:
- Food choices and quantities
- Food tastings and allergen guidance
- Nap schedule and duration
- Wake windows
- Quiet time periods
- Bedtime routine and settling
- Night waking
- Reducing sleep associations

Client Case Studies
Sometimes it helps to hear from parents who’ve been there too. Take a moment to read their stories and see how the programme supported families just like yours.
Through “The Eyes of a Parent”
Please take a moment to read the authentic stories of my treasured former clients.
"Amanda’s been a constant support since day one, taking us on a journey with weaning and teaching him how to sleep independently."
Sunny, Mummy to Marcus
"Maia made the transition to solids with the minimum of distress. She is now 9 months and happily eating her way through 3 meals a day, progressing well with the messy business of feeding herself and drinking from a cup. It’s a joy to watch her eat."
Coco, Mummy to Maia
"At night-time he was waking up for three, four hours at a time and it was impossible to settle him back to sleep. And I kid you not... on that first night, he slept from 11 PM to 7 AM without needing any help from me whatsoever."
Uzma, Mummy to Zaiden
"I can’t explain how much I’ve enjoyed motherhood since I met Amanda."
Hannah, Mummy to Alexander
"On an average night, she would wake 6, 7, 8 times... She would fight sleep like it was the worst thing in the world. We were exhausted, sleep deprived parents who were really at their wit’s end. But after one week, Isabelle slept through the night for 14 and a half hours, which was just remarkable."
Hayley, Mummy to Isabelle
"Our children are healthy and recently went through her food and sleep programme so eat brilliantly, sleep well and any bottle that was introduced has gone aged a year!"
Liz and Kelvin Fletcher, OK Magazine
"We cannot recommend Amanda enough, she is a wealth of knowledge and support. Every breastfeeding mother needs Amanda Marks."
Liz and Kelvin Fletcher, OK Magazine
"Being a new mum can be lonely and stressful – I remain forever grateful to Amanda for making our journey a truly beautiful one."
Actress Cath Tyldesley, Mummy to Alfie and Iris
"Feeding my daughter under Amanda’s care was so easy - I’ll never forget how special it felt to feed Iris without feeling remotely stressed. Knowing that Amanda was there whenever I needed her was huge for me."
Actress Cath Tyldesley, Mummy to Alfie and Iris
"A friend told me, I guarantee you he’ll be a great eater and a great sleeper. And that’s essentially what happened."
Jess, Mummy to Noah & Jacob
"The Platinum Package changed the game again. Our son was sleeping through the night!"
Francis and Stuart, Daddies to Rio & Rebel
"I was about to have a double mastectomy and was gonna be out of the picture. Theo was waking up every hour and then Amanda came along and he’s been sleeping 11 hours through the night ever since."
Actress Victoria Eckanoye, Mummy to Theo
"It’s the best thing we ever did. Luna is now six and a half, and she has slept ever since... Amanda is a superhero."
Gemma and James, Mummy and Daddy to Luna
