When Your Baby Won’t Sleep: A Calm, Practical Guide for 0–6 Months

When your baby wakes again and you’re too tired to know what to try next, you don’t need another promise of a perfect night. You need a calm way to decide what matters now. When Your Baby Won’t Sleep is a practical Parenting Together guide for parents of babies from birth to six months. It helps you understand normal sleep variation, recognise feeding, tiredness, discomfort and connection cues, put safety first, and choose small, responsive steps that fit your baby and your family. Inside, you’ll explore the important differences between 0–3 and 3–6 months, safe sleep foundations, common newborn waking patterns, parent exhaustion and handoffs, responsive settling, night feeding, overtiredness and overstimulation, short wind-down routines, and “drowsy but awake” without turning it into a test of good parenting. The guide also makes room for different families and circumstances, including breastfeeding, bottle-feeding and mixed feeding, prematurity and medical plans, reflux or colic concerns, twins, siblings and parents with limited support. You’ll also find realistic mini case studies, a simple seven-day experiment and a decision page designed for the nights when you are too tired to read anything longer: check safety, check the baby’s body needs, reduce overload, check the parent — then choose the smallest useful next response. This is not a rigid sleep-training method and it does not promise uninterrupted sleep. It does not diagnose medical conditions, prescribe a feeding schedule or replace advice from your baby’s clinician. Its purpose is to help you recognise the situation, compare sensible options, protect safety and know what to do when the first attempt doesn’t work. Digital PDF guide. 36 pages. For parents of babies from birth to 6 months.
