“From 6 wakes to 1 in one night!”
– Beth
I turned to this book when I was desperate not to use sleep training but my baby’s sleep had nose-dived for months and I was suffering badly. One night after 6 wakes and no more than 1.5 hours sleep I finally found the time to read this book. Spotted a few areas we could improve and she only woke twice last night. Would definitely recommend this book if you are looking for gentle ways to support your baby’s sleep rather than sleep training.
“Highly recommended.”
– Jennifer
I can’t recommend this book enough. It’s so easy to read, even if like me you read it at 3am on the Kindle wondering why your baby won’t sleep! It’s more than just a book about sleep. We used the book to make a few tweaks to our routine (that I wouldn’t have believed would make any difference) and have already gone from 3-4 wakes a night to just 1! If you want a book that reinforces your feelings not to leave your baby to cry it out but are in desperate need of changes and improvements to sleep this is the book for you.
“Practical, helpful…. and it works!”
– Kate
I think we must’ve read every bit of sleep advice on social media for our little sleep-stealer, and this is the only guide I’ve found that has actually worked for us! This book not only contains practical, easy-to-follow information on supporting your baby towards developmentally appropriate sleep, but it explains much of the “why” around it as well, without any overly complex detail on the sciencey bits! Definitely a sanity-saver!
Baby and toddler sleep can be a nightmare to get your head around. If you’re looking for an easy-to-read book that explains how baby sleep really works, with practical steps on how to make gentle improvements, this book is the book for you.
There’s no one size fits all solution. Get ready for practical, evidence-based information with helpful, actionable steps that will give you a new approach to tackling your baby’s sleep challenges without leaving your baby to cry by themselves, ever.
I’m Jem, a sleep consultant who studied under some of the most well-known names in the sleep, neuroscience and parenting world, including Lyndsay Hookway, Gordon Neufeld, and Dr Laura Markham; and mother of two – one great sleeper and one VERY difficult sleeper.
I wrote this survival guide for parents who need a different approach to sleep training. A plan to follow that can be adapted for different families, but one which works with a gentle touch.
In this book club we’ll discuss:
· Evidence-based baby sleep information.
· What might be getting in the way of your sleep progress.
· Strategies for supporting independent sleep that don’t require sleep training.
· A realistic guide for what to expect from newborn to 12 months.
· Understand the cause of common sleep problems like frequent night waking, bedtime battles, false starts, and early waking.
· Get to know your child’s unique temperament.
· Moral support for when sleep is just pretty damn horrible.
Everything you will learn about baby sleep is backed up by research. Learn about the science of sleep and how you can use this in your favour to support better sleep.
Sometimes there may be something non-sleep related that could be impacting your baby’s sleep. Learn what to look out for so that you have the best chance of fixing it and ensuring your efforts are worthwhile.
If supporting independent sleep is one of your goals, you’ll learn strategies that are TRULY gentle and are not just controlled crying with a different name.
No pretending all babies should sleep through the night by 3 months. You’ll understand what you can REALLY expect from sleep up to 12 months. Sleep doesn’t always just get better and better with age, with Jem’s support, you’ll understand why.
Do you have a specific sleep problem? You’ll learn what might be causing the issue and how to fix it. Challenges like bedtime battles, night waking, false starts and early waking are all covered.
Sometimes sleep is just awful and there’s nothing to do but ride the wave until things settle down. We will discuss self-care, coping strategies and get that all-important moral support.
We found this book so easy to read and understand, and we have already seen improvements since implementing some of the suggestions!
We particularly loved the part about attachment, this really spoke to us, and how Jemma talks about her own experience, it feels very relatable.Â
I honestly loved it! I have 2 other sleep books, and this is head and shoulders above them. This book is relatable and strikes the balance between being informed, and evidence based without showing bias yet feeling like you’re listening to a friend. I have found it so helpful.
Jemma has done a great job on this book. It is so much more practical than I expected, giving me clear steps that didn’t feel extreme and still respecting the baby and carer.
At times it’s painfully funny and covers information I haven’t read before like how temperament impacts sleep.
I think the chapters about sleep myths and truths, and how to cope with a crying baby will be very helpful for parents.
Jemma writes in a way that you could imagine you’re just sat on the sofa having a chat with a friend. The chapters flow really well and Jemma offers real life and realistic example along the way – and a lot of humour thrown in! You might think before you have children that you’ll just do controlled crying and all of your sleep needs will be met. Unfortunately it doesn’t quite turn out that way. Either controlled crying might not work for your family, or now that your baby is an actual being right in front of you then the thought of just leaving them on their own in a room to cry isn’t quite as easy as you thought it would be. Jemma offers a refreshing and realistic approach to sleep without the extreme methods, and a whole lot of love (both for babies and for parents). She is clear, and concise and backs everything up with science. This is by far the best baby sleep book that I’ve read (and I’ve read a lot). Thanks Jemma for all of the wisdom and for saving my sanity!

This book is written really well. It dives into the science behind sleep, which is used to inform gentle and effective methods of achieving your sleep goals for your baby.
The cry it out method is discussed as well the rationale for looking at gentle sleep training instead.
I feel much more empowered to deal with my baby’s sleep habits having read this book. I would recommend to any parent having difficulty with their child’s sleep, as this is a game changer.
