Three classics of infant sleep get a chapter each: the baby with days and nights flipped, the one who only sleeps in your arms, and the one who wakes too early. They share the course's honesty: the adjustments are fine, the results come slowly, and not everything is a problem to fix.
You will understand how the contrast between day and night reorganizes a newborn's clock, why sleeping in arms is just a baby being a baby, with one non-negotiable safety condition, and who the suspects behind the five a.m. waking are, in order of likelihood.
What you'll learn in the 3 chapters
- 1
Days and nights flipped
You will understand that the body clock is born unfinished and that the cheapest tool is contrast, lively days and dull nights, with the 3 a.m. feed as the most boring experience possible, never a cold one.

Only sleeps in your arms
This chapter starts with the right question, whether sleeping in arms is a problem for your home, and, if it is, teaches the timing of the transfer, the sensory distance between arms and crib, and the strategy of training one nap a day.

Waking up way too early
Here you calibrate what too early really means, meet dawn light as suspect number one, the day before, honest hunger and accidental reinforcement, with the realistic expectation of gaining fifteen minutes a week.
