The Happy Sleeper: The Science-Backed Guide to Helping Your Baby Get a Good Night's Sleep-Newborn to School Age - Paperback
by Heather Turgeon (Author), Julie Wright (Author), Daniel J. Siegel (Foreword by)
UPDATED IN 2024
Many parents feel pressured to "train" babies and young children to sleep. But kids don't need to be trained to sleep--they're built to sleep. Sleep issues arise when parents (with the best of intentions) over-help or "helicopter parent" at night, overshadowing their baby's innate biological ability to sleep well. In The Happy Sleeper, child sleep experts Heather Turgeon and Julie Wright show parents how to be sensitive and nurturing, but also clear and structured so that babies and little kids develop the self-soothing skills they need to:- fall asleep independently
- establish a full, 11-12 hour night of sleep
- take regular, healthy naps
- grow into natural, optimal sleep patterns for day and night.
