Disappointing and Misleading – Not Aligned with Newborn Sleep Science

Revisado: 09-17-24

Initially, I loved this book while preparing for my newborn. However, once my baby arrived, things quickly fell apart. The suggested routines didn’t work for my baby, which led me to feel like I was failing. After struggling for weeks, I did further research and realized that most newborn sleep experts offer very different advice. It turns out that for the first 3-4 months, it’s completely normal for babies to have unpredictable naps of varied lengths and sometimes (or often) need help settling.

This book, however, implies that if your baby doesn’t follow its methods, the fault lies with you. I also discovered that in the book’s Facebook support group, they push the idea that books advice will only work if you purchase their specific bedding (no other brand is fine!) and, after 4 months, adhere to the rigid meal plan from her other book.

Save yourself the frustration and skip this book. Instead, look into more evidence-based resources about 0-5 month sleep. Focus on wake windows, encourage self-settling and crib sleep, but don’t blame yourself when things don’t go perfectly – it’s completely normal!
