Sleep doesn’t have to be a fight. If you’re pacing the hallway with a wide-awake baby and a tired heart, this book hands you a calm, doable plan. Baby Sleep Made Gentle shows you how to work with your baby’s biology—not against it—so nights feel kinder and days fall into a steady rhythm. Inside you’ll find: Age-by-age gentle plans (0–18 months): clear guidance for newborns, 2–4 months, 4–8 months, 9–12 months, and 12–18 months—because a tiny newborn and a standing 10-month-old need different tools. (Keywords: newborn sleep, infant sleep, 0–18 months) - “Nap Maps” that fix nights by day: simple nap schedules keyed to wake windows and sleepy cues, so you land naps before overtired tears and protect a peaceful bedtime. (Keywords: nap schedule, wake windows, baby naps) - Night-waking scripts you can follow half-asleep: short, reassuring check-ins and a soothing ladder (pause → phrase → hand on chest → pick up/put down), so you know what to do at 2 a.m. (Keywords: night waking, gentle sleep training, bedtime routine) - Gentle night-weaning options (when you’re ready): slow, respectful approaches that move calories to daytime without drama.

It’s a no-shame, no-drama guide that meets you where you are: short, plain-language steps; flexible routines you can repeat on tired days; and compassionate coaching for the hard weeks. You’ll learn to read your baby’s cues, time sleep to biology, and make small changes that add up—without promises of overnight miracles. Perfect for: first-time parents, parents of multiples, breastfeeding or bottle-feeding families, and anyone who wants a gentle sleep training approach that respects attachment and still gets you more rest.
