to the overwhelming majority of new parents. Getting enough sleep
is vital for the health of a growing baby or toddler, and the

set in, they can fast demoralise and exhaust parents, undermining

rescue with her answer: the key to a good night's sleep for the
whole family lies in teaching parents to understand the changing
sleep needs of their growing baby. This book informs and reassures
parents, dispelling many common myths and anxieties and offering
practical solutions that work. By creating a structure of regular
feeding, sleeping and playing times, Gina explains how parents can
help their baby to find a rhythm that will be comfortable for all
concerned. Whether parents want to establish good sleeping habits
from the start, or find they need to cure sleep problems and get
their child back on track, Gina has the answers.
