✓Honest about what this is
A guide, not a sleep-training programme and not medical advice. It does not promise your baby will sleep through the night — no honest guide can. It draws on published guidance from the NHS, The Lullaby Trust, Basis and the American Academy of Pediatrics, with every source listed inside. None of them has reviewed or endorsed it.
Why parents buy it
Twelve things you stop
having to Google at 3 a.m.
Three numbers worth knowing
The guidance works.
Most parents are not sure of it.
Cot deaths in Ireland fell by 76% between the 1980s and 2004, largely because parents were told to put babies to sleep on their backs.
National Paediatric Mortality Register, Irelandof parents surveyed were unsure whether it is safe to sleep a baby on their side. The advice exists. It just is not reaching people clearly.
The Lullaby Trust, survey of 500 parents of 0–2s, 2017of twelve-month-olds still did not sleep six hours straight. If your baby wakes, your baby is normal.
Pennestri et al., Pediatrics, 2018That gap is the whole reason this guide exists. Not new advice — the published advice, written out clearly enough to read while exhausted.

Real pages, not a mock-up.
Every page is typeset to be read on a phone in the dark, or printed and stuck on the wall.
What’s inside
Six parts. Read part one first.
Safer sleep
The basics, checking your baby’s temperature, sofas, bed sharing and swaddling, dummies, slings and travel. Ten minutes that matter more than anything else here.
What normal looks like
Why babies wake so often, and an honest “is this normal?” section for everything nobody warns you about.
Gentle routines
Reading sleepy cues, a simple bedtime routine, and the art of the transfer from your arms to the cot.
Surviving the hard nights
Evening fussiness and endless crying, the common sleep challenges, and a straight answer on sleep training.
Looking after you
Getting through the exhaustion. The part most sleep books leave out completely.
When to get help
The signs that mean your baby needs medical attention, with EU emergency numbers. Print it and put it where you can find it fast.
Safer Sleep Checklist · Weekly sleep and feed log · 24-hour day log · Our bedtime routine · Questions for my doctor or nurse — and a separate one-page Safer Sleep Caregiver Sheet written for grandparents, sitters and crèche staff.

Honestly
What this guide will not do.
We’d rather say it here than have you find out after paying.
It will not make your baby sleep through the night. No honest guide can promise that, and anything that does is selling you something.
It is not a sleep training programme. No method, no schedule, nothing to fail at. One chapter explains the evidence so you can decide for yourself.
It is not medical advice. It draws on published guidance from the NHS, The Lullaby Trust, Basis and the American Academy of Pediatrics, and points readers in Ireland to the HSE. It lists every source so you can check it. None of those organisations has reviewed or endorsed this guide.

The questions we get most.
What age is it for?
Newborn to twelve months. The safer sleep chapter matters most in the first six months; normal sleep, routines and the hard nights carry through the first year.
Is this sleep training?
No. There is no method, no schedule and no crying plan. One chapter explains what sleep training is and what the evidence says, so you can make your own decision. The rest works either way.
I live in the EU. Does the advice apply to me?
Yes. The core safer sleep steps — on their back, in their own clear cot, in your room for the first six months, a room of 16–20°C — are the same advice health services give across Europe. In Ireland, the HSE publishes guidance that matches these steps. Emergency numbers in the guide are for the EU: 112 everywhere, and 999 also works in Ireland.
Where does the information come from?
Published guidance from the NHS, The Lullaby Trust, Basis (Baby Sleep Info Source), the American Academy of Pediatrics and ICON. Every source is listed on the last page with its website, along with the HSE for readers in Ireland. None of those organisations has reviewed or endorsed this guide.
What do I actually receive?
A PDF, sized A4, by email within a few minutes of paying. Read it on a phone, tablet or laptop, or print the pages you want on the wall. Nothing is posted, so there are no shipping costs or customs charges anywhere in the EU.
Can I get a refund?
Because this is an instant download, you confirm at checkout that it starts straight away, which ends the 14-day right of withdrawal — so we don’t refund change-of-mind purchases. If a file is faulty or won’t open, we replace it, and if we can’t fix it, we refund you.
Should I buy the Complete Set?
The guide is complete on its own — the Toolkit is not missing chapters. Take the set if you want the reference charts to hand, a 14-day log rather than a weekly one, and the pages for childcare, travel and splitting the nights between two parents.
