About Alison Scott-Wright
Alison Scott-Wright, best selling author and the UK’s leading expert in managing sleep and reflux issues for all babies, toddlers and children.
Alison Scott-Wright is the UK’s leading baby, toddler and child sleep expert who also specialises in the management of ‘colic,’ acid reflux, feeding difficulties, dietary related intolerances and food allergies.
Her work is endorsed by some of the top paediatric gastroenterologists and through invitation attends exclusive ESPGHAN Paediatric Gastroenterology conferences.
Alison is not only globally recognised as a Baby Sleep Specialist, but she has also become famously known amongst her thousands of clients as The Reflux Expert with even one of the top, Uk, paediatric gastroenterologists endorsing her work and awarding Alison this title!
Starting out in nursing, Alison soon moved into the private sector and 30 years ago worked locally as a mother’s help to twin girls. From that position she moved into maternity nursing, specialising in caring for twins & triplets and quickly became known as the only person who could get ALL little ones sleeping through by 8 to 12 weeks old!!
All those years ago there was no website, no mobile phones and not even an email – just written references that were provided by each client Alison worked with. Her landline phone number was passed around by word of mouth and Alison was always in demand. She would forward by post, copies of her recent references to new clients and one reference stated
“Alison truly is our MAGIC SLEEP FAIRY” and the name stuck!
Hence the actual birth of “The Magic Sleep Fairy” – which has since become her trademarked alias and adopted as an affectionate name by most of her clients.
Again, the birth of Alison’s books really came from her multitude of clients continually saying “You need to put all your knowledge into a book”! One client happened to have a contact with the publishers at Random House and after an introduction, 3 weeks later the commission for the first book was awarded, way back in 2008!
Alison continues to provide practical help and valuable advice and much needed support to parents around the world through her books and her online consultations .
She is a mother and a grandmother – known affectionately by her grandchildren as “Mops” – and she shares her time between her homes on the south coast in Dorset and in the Marmara region of Türkiye where you will often find her ( when she’s not working, ) wandering along the beach, collecting shells.
