Precious Little Sleep

by Alexis Dubief

She shares her wealth of knowledge in this book through easy-to-read guides on the most accessible and effective strategies for getting a better night of sleep. The book divides the strategies by age, making it easy to skip the parts that aren’t relevant to your family right now. Precious Little Sleep covers sleep from the newborn stage through preschool.

Still Awake

Older children’s sleep is often complicated by factors which cannot be addressed simply by optimising a nap or tweaking the bedtime routine, and Hookway demystifies these challenges in her approachable book which includes contributions from more than 20 professionals working in the sleep science field, and advice for parents of children who are adopted/fostered, or who have chronic health problems and disability. Still Awake covers sleep from 18 months to 12 years.
