- What are wake windows and how they can help support optimal sleep
- Signs your baby is tired (and signs they are OVERtired)
- Safer sleep guidance for bedsharing

Why you can trust this guide:
I’m an IBCLC - everything I do is protective of responsive feeding
I’m a trained Holistic Sleep Coach by Lyndsey Hookway and Babyem. The course I took requires degree level coursework, including using up to date scientific research in infant development. This guide is evidence based.
I have worked with children and babies for 20 years, including in nurseries and Surestart Children’s Centres.
My other qualifications include level 3 and 4 certifications in child development, early years education, nutrition, child psychology, and counselling.
I’m a mum! And my youngest baby was challenging when it came to sleep. He’s the reason I trained to be a sleep coach in the first place.
What this guide will NOT do:
- Tell you to leave your baby to cry
- Force a routine on you and your baby
- Discourage responsive feeding and parenting
- Promise that your baby will start sleeping through the night
