Babies don't automatically know how to sleep through the night; they need to be taught. The Sears family has learned from decades of pediatric practice, bolstered by their own parenting experiences, that different babies have different nighttime temperaments - and, of course, different families have different lifestyles. Instead of espousing the kind of "one method fits all" approach advocated in other baby sleep guides, the Sears family explains how you can create a sleep plan that suits the needs of your entire family.

Many parents struggle with sleep when their children are babies - and there are hundreds of books on the subject - but what happens to night-time parenting when you have a toddler or older child and the strategies that may have worked for your baby no longer seem to be helping? Older children's sleep is often complicated by factors which cannot be addressed simply by optimising a nap or tweaking the bedtime routine, and parents can feel frustrated and confused when their older children continue to wake at night or find it hard to settle.

One of the best baby sleep books I've read
... and I've read quite a few.
This is a wonderful book. Well structured and covering all the significant topics concerning sleep for babies, this book should be the first book to read for any new parent.
Being so recently published, it speaks about the science and discoveries of our days.
Listening to the audio version has helped me countless times getting calm incredibly quickly in times of despair when the baby was crying, tired in my arms, not willing to sleep. In a really short time, my newly gained peace would be transferred to him too, and helped him get asleep so easy.
Thank you for your efforts of putting together all this valuable information and being a real friend to sleep deprived mothers.

Incredibly Helpful
As a nursing (new) mom I have often sought advice from La Leche League’s website because they are possibly one of, if not the most well-known and respected resource for breastfeeding online. I was pleased to find that not only had LLLI written a book specific to the connection between nursing and breastfeeding, but that it was available here on Audible (perfect for busy moms like me). It is especially helpful for anyone who likes to have research to back up the claims surrounding bed-sharing and it offers practical advice on how to bed-share safely. It has definitely changed my perspective on the topic. Great listen!
