Sleep doesn't have to be a fight.
If you're pacing the hallway with a wide-awake baby and a tired heart, this book hands you a calm, doable plan. Baby Sleep Made Gentle shows you how to work with your baby's biology-not against it-so nights feel kinder and days fall into a steady rhythm.
Inside you'll find:
Age-by-age gentle plans (0-18 months): clear guidance for newborns, 2-4 months, 4-8 months, 9-12 months, and 12-18 months-because a tiny newborn and a standing 10-month-old need different tools. (Keywords: newborn sleep, infant sleep, 0-18 months)
"Nap Maps" that fix nights by day: simple nap schedules keyed to wake windows and sleepy cues, so you land naps before overtired tears and protect a peaceful bedtime. (Keywords: nap schedule, wake windows, baby naps)
Night-waking scripts you can follow half-asleep: short, reassuring check-ins and a soothing ladder (pause → phrase → hand on chest → pick up/put down), so you know what to do at 2 a.m. (Keywords: night waking, gentle sleep training, bedtime routine)
Gentle night-weaning options (when you're ready): slow, respectful approaches that move calories to daytime without drama. (Keywords: night weaning, feeding and sleep)
Troubleshooting made simple: quick decision paths for false starts, split nights, and early rising, plus help for short naps, regressions, and overtired spirals. (Keywords: sleep regressions, early waking)
Real-life chapters: room-sharing with parents or siblings, twins/multiples, daycare alignment, travel/time zones, holidays, teething, illness, and how to run a 48-72-hour gentle reset after setbacks. (Keywords: room-sharing, daycare, travel with baby)
Safe, evidence-informed basics: a calm sleep environment (light, noise, temperature), safe sleep setup, and realistic expectations at every stage. (Keywords: safe sleep, white noise, bedtime routine)
This is not a book of harsh rules or impossible schedules. It's a no-shame, no-drama guide that meets you where you are: short, plain-language steps; flexible routines you can repeat on tired days; and compassionate coaching for the hard weeks. You'll learn to read your baby's cues, time sleep to biology, and make small changes that add up-without promises of overnight miracles.
Perfect for: first-time parents, parents of multiples, breastfeeding or bottle-feeding families, and anyone who wants a gentle sleep training approach that respects attachment and still gets you more rest.
If you're ready to swap late-night panic-scrolling for a steady plan-nap maps, night-waking scripts, and calm routines you can trust-this book is your 2 a.m. friend.
