What's nice about this book is that it doesn't judge you. Every time I want to feel better about myself, I pick this book up and give it a little read. However, for any help beyond that it really isn't very helpful. It may calm me down but there isn't really much tangible advice.

Loved it!! My husband and I are determined to do gentle and attachment parenting. Skimmed through the 1-5 since my son is only four months, but I will definitely be returning.

My child hates sleep. I once went 5 days on just 4 hours sleep so I had to do something! This book gave me lots of tips to help and also reminded me that I'm not alone.

Whilst nothing in this book 100% worked, a mixture of different systems and patience paid off and my sleep hating daughter now sleeps through the night 1 or 2 nights a week. The other days, she will wake 1 or 2 times but will be a lot easier to settle.

I will always recommend this book to parents suffering from a bad sleeper!

I’ll start by saying I’m pretty sure sleep training is not for me, which is why I was interested in this book. She’s reeeeaaally biased against sleep training, but also offers some research as to why sleep training might not be the best for kids. A lot of what’s in this book are things I’ve read online already, but it’s explained and organized nicely. I think she’s upfront about saying these methods will take time to work, which is good for parent expectations.

Practical and gentle - does what it says on the tin! Realistic about no quick fixes and is very non judgemental. A good reference guide through all different ages from birth to school!
