This insightful guide offers gentle solutions for sleep challenges faced by parents of young children. The Gentle Sleep Book is essential for restful nights.
In The Gentle Sleep Book, Sarah Ockwell-Smith provides a compassionate guide for parents navigating the often challenging world of sleep with their little ones. This revised edition presents gentle, no-tears solutions tailored for children from newborns to five years old, addressing common sleep issues that many families face. The book emphasizes a nurturing approach, steering clear of harsh sleep-training methods like controlled crying, and instead offers practical advice that respects both the child's needs and the parents' well-being.
Parents often find themselves exhausted by frequent night wakings or their toddler's resistance to bedtime. The author acknowledges these struggles and offers evidence-based strategies to help families establish healthy sleep habits. With insights into how long children typically sleep at different developmental stages, as well as the reasons why many conventional sleep tips may be misleading, the book equips parents with the knowledge they need to foster better sleep.
The Gentle Sleep Book also includes valuable new chapters that focus on daytime naps and the importance of self-care for parents during this demanding period. By addressing the emotional and physical needs of caregivers, Sarah Ockwell-Smith ensures that families can navigate sleep challenges with confidence and compassion. This book is a must-have for any parent seeking a gentle approach to sleep solutions for their children.
'Sleep is not a battle. It's a balance, and in this book Sarah helps parents find that balance... [the] practical advice [in her BEDTIME acronym] for real situations is very helpful' * Juno *
