The Newborn Sleep Playbook

The Newborn Sleep Playbook

A calm, evidence-based guide to helping your newborn — and you — sleep more safely.

For exhausted parents of 0–3 month olds, this playbook pairs the non-negotiable safe-sleep rules (the AAP "ABCs") with a gentle, realistic toolkit for soothing, setting expectations, and untangling day-night confusion. Warm, non-judgmental, and genuinely reassuring — because the intensity of this stage is normal, and it passes.

What you'll learn

• The ABCs of safe sleep and exactly what to avoid, every sleep
• What newborn sleep is really like — so you stop feeling like you're failing
• Swaddling, pacifiers, and soothing with the "5 S's"
• How to read sleepy cues and catch the wake window
• To fix day-night confusion and handle night feeds calmly
• When to call your pediatrician — and how to protect your own wellbeing
