Sleep is something all new parents want, both for themselves and their babies. This book offers background information and practical steps to help you establish a routine with your baby that will look after his or her needs – and yours, too.New parents are given all sorts of conflicting advice on how best to get their baby to sleep through the night. For example, should he/she sleep in your bed, in your room beside your bed or in another room altogether? Should you leave your baby when he/she wakes or cries?Penney Hames tackles every issue, including cot death, and talks about each technique. She examines the need for routine, a comfortable sleep environment and a baby’s sleep patterns at different ages and stages. She also explores research into how a child’s sleep pattern might reflect its character, well-being, health, and even intelligence, thereby debunking myths and extracting the truth. Two-colour with black and white pictures.The main message Penney Hames gives is that parents should make their own minds up and she offers advice on where to get help with addresses of sleep clinics and other support agencies.

Introduction

Sleepless babies are all too common. One small paragraph in New Generation , the Journal of the National Childbirth Trust, which asked for parents’ experiences for this book elicited dozens of replies. Then, talking to an astonishing array of professionals and researchers who have devised, through their widely differing disciplines, effective approaches or remedies for the sleeplessness of babies led me on to dozens more women. And women who had heard about the book on the grapevine of my local National Childbirth Trust branch, also called. Find me a parent and I’ll show you someone with an opinion about babies’ sleep.

The problem with any subject worth its salt is that right-minded, sensitive people can believe any number of threateningly different things. I believe that an author ought to listen to all these different opinions, try to see the value in each, and while rejecting none, chart a clear course for each reader, irrespective of how that reader prefers to travel.

So much for the theory. I’m sure that my own persuasions are written large in between the lines of this book. Nevertheless I hope that Help Your Baby to Sleep has accomplished three things: first, to acknowledge that no one approach is right for everybody; second, to accept that complex emotional ties may make the supposedly simple act of leaving your baby to sleep heart-wrenchingly difficult, and that is not simply something to overcome, but an awareness that may suggest a different approach; and third, to express the ambivalence and complexity of a vast range of attitudes, through the words of parents.

I hope you find in it something that speaks to you.

1 What do we Know About Sleep?

Oh sleep! It is a gentle thing, beloved from pole to pole

Coleridge, ‘The Ancient Mariner’

Why does my Baby Sleep so Much?

Babies have a lot to learn, and quickly. But it’s hard to reflect on anything when there’s a lot going on. This is one of the reasons that babies sleep so much. Putting the world into some sort of order takes a bit of peace and quiet. While he is asleep your baby’s brain can organize the vast array of experiences he has when he’s awake. At the same time, chemicals in the brain and body are renewing themselves ready for more activity. As new parents we also have a lot to learn, and we also need our sleep to help us do it. Without sufficient sleep everyone suffers.
