The only baby sleep book you'll ever need.

Drowsy but awake is setting you up to fail. You’ve read it everywhere; put your little one down “drowsy but awake.” While well-intentioned, “drowsy but awake” is what sets most parents up to fail long term. This manifests as immense time spent getting your baby to sleep and not getting enough sleep. Cue the rocking, feeding, or reinserting a pacifier at one a.m. and again and again. The dilemma “‘How do I get my child to sleep more with less effort from me?” The secret no one told you: The drive to sleep is biological, the way we sleep is learned.

You wanted to be the best parent you possibly could. That vision involved a happy baby who slept like a champ and never cried. However, you’re having a hard time executing that vision. The frequent waking, intense amounts of time spent getting your baby to sleep and the constant fatigue are becoming unsustainable. You also worry that your baby could be better rested and relations with your spouse have become tense. Things are not working out as you had imagined.

Your internet searches have proved to be confusing. You’re seeing different philosophies, different methods, lots of theories but no step-by-step action plans. Your complete solution for babies from birth to twenty-four months is here. The Helping Babies Sleep Method teaches you the art and science of teaching your baby to sleep.

In the newborn stage you’ll learn how to avoid common parenting pitfalls and work on gentle no tear sleep shaping to achieve long stretches of age-appropriate nighttime sleep quickly.
From four to twenty-four months, you’ll learn about sleep science to give you a thorough understanding of the physiology and behavior in having a great sleeper.
At every age, the method addresses all your baby’s daily activities: feeding, sleeping, naps, playtime and nighttime sleep.

Evidence based approaches that are easy to understand from birth to twenty-four months.

The Helping Babies Sleep Method helps you create your customizable sleep plan based on your child’s age, your parenting philosophy and provides best- and worst-case scenarios. You’ll never be left wondering, “what do I do now?” You’ll see progress within two to three nights. Most parents have completed their journey in two weeks and say, “Why didn’t I do that sooner?”

Dr. Sarah Mitchell is a chiropractor by training but found her passion empowering parents to teach their little ones to sleep and parent confidently day and night. Her personal experience with a child who wouldn’t sleep, despite her healthcare background, ignited her passion for researching sleep. She’s been working with babies since 2013 and has helped thousands of parents overcome their sleep challenges and feel even more confident in their parenting and sleep detective skills. Located in Silicon Valley, her clientele has included big tech executives, pediatricians, labor and delivery nurses and parents just like you. Their commonality: all smart, capable, resourceful people who didn’t know how to get their babies to sleep because having a great sleeper isn’t really that instinctual. Parenting is a skill that can be taught.

You want to feel like you’re rocking this parenting thing and completing meeting your baby’s needs in a connected and compassionate manner. With comprehensive sections devoted to bedtime, naps, night feeding, plus solutions to special circumstances like traveling, daylight savings time and reflux, The Helping Babies Sleep Method is the book you need to make that vision a reality. www.helpingbabiessleep.com

My baby is 4 months old and I’ve been really wanting to help him learn how to sleep more easily. Being very strong-willed, he would cry really hard whenever it was time to be put in his bassinet. I did another sleep program before this one, so I was already aware of watching “wake windows” and removing sleep crutches. However, that program did not work for my baby and at bedtime he would go to sleep, wake up a minute later, go to sleep again for another minute or two, wake up again, and the cycle would continue and I would just give up. It was also extremely difficult because my baby also would not fall asleep when nursing and did not sleep better with co-sleeping. It was really hard and many times he would eventually just fall asleep because he was so exhausted but that would be hours later. I would try really hard not to pick him up or intervene as that wasn’t helpful, but I felt strongly about not letting him cry for a lengthy period of time. My husband and I decided that we needed to follow a sleep trainer, someone who has the education and knowledge to help us with this. The program we were using was not working. So I did some googling and found this book. My husband and I really liked the idea of this book because of Dr. Sarah Mitchell’s education level. And you can tell from reading this book that she knows A LOT about sleep science and when it will be easier to go to sleep, and more difficult to go to sleep, based on biology. She’s also a mom, so the book has a very understanding approach as well, because she’s been there too with her own children. She is clearly very educated, so that made me feel more comfortable with following her guidelines. She takes a very understanding approach in this book, from her experiences as a knower of sleep science and as a mother herself. She isn’t a “cry it out” person, but she offers two approaches- one that is more mild where the parent could be in the room with the baby, and the other where there are frequent checks on the baby throughout the process. We did the Controlled Checks method and this was a really good middle ground for us. Like I said above, my baby is very strong-willed and the first night we tried this it took an hour and 40 minutes before he went to sleep for his first long stretch of sleep. I had to do what Dr. Sarah calls a “reset” where I picked him up after a certain period of time and then put him back in his bassinet, and then it was about 40 minutes later before he fell asleep. Ever since that first night he now falls asleep easily for naps and at bedtime. He still wakes up during the night but Dr. Sarah knows all about that and explains why that happens for each age and stage in the book. He’ll wake up at 5am, and Dr. Sarah even had that predicted in the book too and explains why 5am wake ups are likely. Anyway, our situation with sleep has improved by 95% from only following this 4 days so far, and we saw major improvement after only the first night. Other reviewers mention that there are typos in this book. Yes they are correct, but in my opinion, who cares as long as my son sleeps better! I cannot recommend this book highly enough.

Practical, step-by-step, sleep teaching

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 7, 2022

For our first baby, we were lucky enough to have found Sarah through Yelp for sleep training, which is how we came to know her and love her methods. I had read all the sleep books in the market, but they had conflicting advice, which was confusing. Plus our little girl was low birth weight, so we had serious reservations of sleep training. Our girl was 8 months old, taking all her naps in a carrier, and waking every 2-3 hours at night to be rocked and/or fed at night. After a week working with Sarah, our little one was going down at night without a fuss for 11+ hours of sleep a night, and going down independently for her naps.

Since that time, we learned Sarah wrote this book. I'm a big reader, so while I didn't find the other sleep books on the market as practical and easy to follow step-by-step, I decided to give this a read both to show support for the lady that saved our nights and sanity with our first born, but also as a refresher for our 2nd baby that was just born.

This book is incredible. Its written in plain english, with specific steps and trouble shooting for each age. We began sleep teaching using only Sarah's method in this book the day our boy turned 4 months old, and he got it within a day. At 4 months, he was going down independently for naps and sleep, with 2 night feedings. We dropped the 2nd night feed when he was 5 months old, and he's had great night sleep since. I still keep the book on my table to reference whenever we run into any sleep issues.

There's nothing more valuable as parents of babies than good sleep for baby and parents! I recommend this book to all friends with new babies. I certainly recommend taking the virtual/live sleep coaching with Sarah who's a delight, loving, and deeply knowledgeable about this topic, but if that's not an option, this book takes all her years of expert learnings and experience and puts it nicely into a page-turner, or reference guide.

We mixed this with taking cara babies! Why don’t people talk about baby sleep more often and how freaking hard it can be! This book really helped us understand sleep. Our 4mo old can happily and easily fall alseep on her own, in her bed. We can put her down calm but awake and she’ll fall asleep. She’s 6 months old now and it’s still the same

After a few weeks of having sleep issues, I decided to purchase the physical book and there audio format to help sleep teach our baby girl. My husband and I began this journey with our 8 month old, and after only a couple of days, we have already begun to see significant progress. We would highly recommend this book to anyone ready to change their life, and more importantly, their baby’s life for the better! The audio format was great to listen on our commute to work and the book was good to reference when we were at home. I enjoy having both formats but either or is great too!!

The cover was upside down. I turned the book upside down thinking I could still read it but the entire book is back to front so it starts from the last page!! Have reordered - hoping the new book won’t be faulty. Very poor.

I used Sarah's method on my 2.5 year old who was having major sleep issues. Not only did she help give me my nights back, but helped us establish a schedule that worked for all of us! I highly recommend this book if you're having sleep issues with your child or have a new child coming and want to establish good habits from the beginning.

I used Dr. Sarah Mitchell’s method for both of my kids and I can’t recommend it enough! She explains things in the easiest way and backs it up with science and experience. This book will help you navigate sleep from newborn to toddlerhood and uses a gentle technique to teach your littles how to help themselves sleep - a gift that will last a lifetime! Definitely recommend this book!

Informative and empowering

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on December 9, 2022

My son is 1 now and I cannot imagine having gotten to where we are now with his independent sleeping without this book. It was invaluable in giving me the courage to try new things and help me make the much needed transition from contact naps to him sleeping in his own space. I looked through many many other resources and none offer as many detailed, compassionate strategies as this book did. It was much more affordable than a certain TCBabies workshop and less parent shaming and percise than say the Tracy Hogg baby whisperer method. Unless a kid has some severe sleep disorder, I think this book is very comprehensive. Take it out from your local library if you can and see for yourself!
