Description

What if you could help your baby to sleep for 10 – 12 hours at night?

No, really, after following the Slumbertots Baby Sleep Guide (6 – 18 months), when you put your baby down to sleep, they will:

• Settle independently within 10-15 minutes;
• Sleep for 10-12 hours through the night (or wake for 1 – 2 feeds);
• Wake for the day after 6am; and
• Take long, restful naps.

It’s an easy-to-follow, step-by-step approach that gives you confidence in taking action to improve your baby’s sleep.

What’s inside? What does the Slumbertots Baby Sleep Guide (6 – 18 months) cover?

The Guide gives you everything you need to know to get your baby sleeping through the night or for longer stretches, and taking long restful naps. The Guide follows my REST method:

Routine

When it comes to improving sleep, the daytime is just as important as night time. In this section we’ll discuss age appropriate d

aytime routines, awake windows and naps, as well as how to handle the day if your baby wakes early.

Environment

Before you start the plan we’ll talk through the perfect sleep environment to encourage easier settling and longer periods of sleep. We’ll also talk through the best time to start a plan and how to prepare yourself for the process.

Signature Bedtime Routine

Having worked with over 1000 babies and toddlers over the last 10 years, in this section, I’ve shared my Signature Bedtime Routine, to help your baby wind down and prepare for sleep.

Technique for Settling

Now you’re ready to get started, we’ll talk through my preferred method to support your baby through the settling process (you will stay with them until they settle), how to handle night wakings (both with and without night feeds).

What else does the Slumbertots Baby Sleep Guide cover?

When you start implementing the plan, you’ll want to know when you’ll start to see some changes (often by day 3, sometimes sooner!) and what might happen at different stages of the plan. This section takes you through what to expect as you work through the plan so you can be fully prepared.

We also cover any bumps in the road that can come up and disrupt sleep (development, travel, illness and teething).
