Is this the right book for you?

If you definitely want to move your baby or child out of your bed into their own, this book will give you evidence-based options to achieve that. But first, let’s make sure that is really what you want.

Good reasons to change

  • I am not sleeping well when my child is in bed with me
  • My child doesn’t seem to sleep well when we share a bed
  • It isn’t safe for my baby to co-sleep with me or my partner
  • I’ve had enough of co-sleeping, I want my space
  • My relationship with my partner is suffering

This book is a good fit for you

Reasons for partial change…

  • I can’t afford to co-sleep during the day, but still enjoy it at night
  • I’m happy to co-sleep, I just don’t want to have to go to bed with my baby that early at night

You could use these suggestions for day-sleeps but not night-sleeps, or just to help your baby to go to sleep alone.

Not good reasons to change

  • Co-sleeping is always dangerous – False – There are safe ways to co-sleep. See the link below.
  • People say I’m stifling my child’s independence or creating unhealthy sleep habits. Not true, see the link below.
