How babies sleep is both exceedingly simple and excruciatingly complex. It is simple because it is based on a few straightforward biological principles that affect all babies the world over. It is complex because we have made it so.

Over the past century and a half, we have tried to manipulate baby sleep to fit with the rapidly changing nature of adult lives. The mismatch we have created with our babies’ biology is framed as ‘baby sleep problems’, and infants are often ‘treated’ using behavioural and clinical interventions. But it is not baby sleep that needs fixing – only our understanding of it.

In How Babies Sleep, pioneering and award-winning infant sleep researcher Professor Helen Ball brings together cutting-edge science, anthropological insight and practical advice to provide parents with everything they need to help them confidently – and sanely – navigate the first 365 night-times with a new baby. It will teach you how to harmonise your needs with those of your infant, and empower you to reject approaches that make you uncomfortable and experiment with strategies that work for you and your family.

‘Clearly written and engaging, with really useful suggestions that will help manage parents’ expectations and anxiety, How Babies Sleep is a must-read for anybody who wants to understand the first 365 days of a human life.’
Russell Foster, neuroscientist and Sunday Times-bestselling author of Life Time

‘Finally — the baby sleep book all new parents actually need.’
Amanda Ruggeri, award-winning science and parenting journalist

‘A refreshingly clear and nonjudgmental guide to the universal yet daunting challenge of infant sleep . . . Invaluable'
Guddi Singh, paediatric doctor and presenter of BBC's of Babies: Their Wonderful World

As expect this is a fabulous book. A great book for parents and an absolute must for any health professionals working with families with babies. So much more than a book about sleep.
As an ex health visitor I can not recommend this book enough and am really happy to be able to hand it on to our family's next generation of mothers and fathers.

Fantastic book, with absolutely fascinating nuggets of information about baby sleep. Game-changing book for new parents (and also family/friends of new parents). Great insight to the history and science of baby sleep, and really helpful and compassionate.

Must-read book for new parents/parents-to-be

This audiobook got me through the fourth trimester with a breastfed baby who woke every 2 hours. After listening to this I had a mindset shift and adjusted my expectations and reality to be led by my baby rather than the other way round. Baby is now 5 months and I am relistening. This book has reaffirmed my opinions on letting the baby lead the routine and helped me not to feel bad about my baby not sleeping through the night

This book really is something remarkable. It's absolutely my new favourite baby book, a book I wish I'd had when I was a new parent and the first baby book I'd recommend, without hesitation, to ANYONE who is pregnant or with a young baby. Honestly, even anyone with an older baby! A wonderful balance of science backed and supportive. There is no judgement, but solid factual information and insights as to what the implications of those facts might be.

Despite my child being way past the age of the scope of this book, it's made me view some of my experiences in a new light, helped me understand some of the things I've felt, helped me let go of some doubts and regrets and made me feel liberated and validated in understanding baby biology and evolutionary programming as drivers of behaviour that is not naughty, difficult or a failure on my part in the least.

If you're a new parent, it will support you in your choices and help shut out the noise and external pressures to do what doesn't feel right. It will encourage you to get to know YOUR baby, to understand YOUR situation, and proceed accordingly. It will help you avoid wasting money and energy on unhelpful and sometimes even predatory sleep industry products and programmes that aren't right for you. It might sound scary at times but it will also help you accept things as they are and go into the night prepared and properly informed instead of second guessing or needlessly worrying.

If you're not a new parent, it will help you support any young families in your life in a meaningful way. If you are anyone with any interest in babies, just read it!
