Goodnight, 2 AM

It's 2 AM. Your baby is awake again. You are not alone, and this book was written for exactly this moment.

Goodnight, 2 AM is a calm, practical, 60-page guide to baby sleep from birth to 12 months, with a gentle 7-night plan for babies aged 4 months and older. It is honest, safe and kind: no harsh methods, no impossible promises.

What's inside

• How baby sleep really works: sleep cycles, night waking and sleep associations, explained simply.
• Safe sleep, first: the essentials agreed by leading health bodies (AAP, NHS, The Lullaby Trust).
• Sleep by age: total sleep, naps and wake windows from 0 to 12 months, with sample days at 4, 6, 9 and 12 months.
• The bedtime routine: a simple 5-step routine that works in any home, any language.
• The 7-night plan: a page for every night, with three gentle methods to choose from (Pick Up/Put Down, the Chair Method, Check and Comfort).
• The 2 AM Troubleshooter: short naps, early waking, regressions, teething, illness, travel and time zones.
• Night feeds and night weaning, sleep around the world, looking after you and when to call the doctor.
• 12 printables: the 2 AM Checklist, Safe Sleep Checklist, routine chart, wake-window cards, 7-night tracker, sleep, nap and feed logs, parent check-in and bedtime picture cards.

An honest promise

No book can make a baby sleep 12 hours by Friday. A gentle, consistent plan can help your baby learn to settle and give your family more rest. Most families notice a real change within the first week, and calmer nights over the following two to four weeks.

Format: 60-page ebook, Letter or A4. Read on any phone, tablet or computer, or print at home. Written for parents worldwide, with °C/°F and ml/oz.
