Publisher's Summary

Sleeping Like a Baby serves as the ultimate bedside companion for parents, packed with all the modern tools you need to build a stronger connection with your children and enable age-appropriate sleep for their optimum growth. The book does the seemingly impossible: blending traditional wisdom and the latest research, it gives us a revolutionary approach to achieve longer naps, better night sleep with fewer wakings, a happier baby and more joy and rest as a family, without resorting to fraught practices like 'sleep training'. With anecdotal insights, deep research and practical tips in an Indian context, this book empowers parents to tune into their instincts and understand a child's cues so that bedtime battles, cranky days and sleepless nights are a thing of the past. Authored by the co-founders running the pioneering Facebook group Gentle Baby Sleep India, Sleeping Like a Baby shares the secret sauce that enables a family—no matter its structure or pressures—to keep the child's evolutionary and biological sleep needs in focus.

Endorsed by some of the most eminent child sleep experts and written in a style that is deceptively simple and accessible, Sleeping Like a Baby is the final word on responsive and restful sleep for caregiver and baby. All night long.

Nothing short of LIFE CHANGING

There's a reason this book is endorsed by leading child psychologists and sleep experts in India and internationally.

This book is like the medicine every exhausted new parent needs. I have been a member of GBSI from before my baby was born (which is a free peer support community with an amazing group of admins who help parents voluntarily and selflessly) and bought this book as soon as it was released. It has made every stage of my baby's sleep journey so free from tension! I have gifted this book to many new parents and they have all found it to be life changing.

The dozens of positive reviews here speak for themselves. There are a few negative reviews that seem to have misunderstood the book. The authors clarify in the introduction how much of the book is based on specific scientific studies (and that studies are limited as most are skewed by the sleep training industry) and how much on the experience of thousands of parents on GBSI. They also clearly state that they advocate for the rights of the child. Unfortunately, modern society puts pressures on parents that lead them to resort to practices like sleep training, and then this further creates a certain amount of anxiety and guilt in parents. Negative reactions to the book's simple and logical facts seem to come from this place of guilt.

This book fits seamlessly into the changing parenting ethos being created by experts like Dr Gabor Mate, stressing the importance of responsive parenting in childhood to build positive mental and physical health. What is brilliant about the book is that - not only does it explain why not to sleep train - it gives you an alternative system that works!
