'Warm, wise and deeply reassuring, I love The Sleep Mums!' Sarah Turner, The Unmumsy Mum

It's 2am but your baby thinks it's party time; their 'routine' seems to change with the wind, and you would do anything to get a good night's sleep...

We know how you feel! You might be prepared and reading this before baby arrives, or as they snooze beside you in those early new-born days, knowing that forewarned is forearmed. Or your eyebags may tell their own bedtime story...

Either way, if your baby is not sleeping, you have not done anything wrong. Your baby is not broken (although you might feel broken from lack of sleep), and you are not a bad parent. Baby sleep is not linear; it changes a lot during their first few years (they like to keep us on our toes like that...). You are here because you want some honest support and real solutions.

And the good news? We can give you that.

Between us, we - Cat and Sarah AKA 'The Sleep Mums' - have over 30 years professional experience, plus hands on practice with having our own unique babies. Thousands of parents have turned to us for help and advice - we've been asked to write our wisdom down in a book countless times, so at long last, here it is! Sleep Better, Baby will arm you with the confidence and tools to see you through the long nights (and days) of your baby's early years.

You've got this.

About the Author

Cat Cubie is a BBC TV and radio presenter (The One Show, The National Lottery, BBC News, BBC Radio Scotland), a successful regional columnist and journalist in the national press. She has spent a large part of her career writing and talking about parenting and her three wonderful kids and partner. She has been a parent of a child who doesn't sleep, like ever, so she knows how hard it can be as a new parent but also how to learn the tools and confidence to help her family get more sleep.

Sarah Carpenter is a baby and child sleep expert, and a Norland nanny. Through her twenty year career as a sleep consultant, she has helped thousands of parents get a good night's sleep and given them back something else they thought they had lost: their sanity. Sarah is known as having an almost supernatural ability to get babies and children to sleep, but as a single mum of three, she also knows how hard it can be to be the parent in the moment, even when you know the 'right' things to do.

Reviews

'I love The Sleep Mums! Sleep means everything when you're a parent and Cat and Sarah have helped me to make sense of what really works, in a fun and supportive way. They provide advice that's never judgey and offer a much needed feeling of solidarity to parents everywhere who are worrying that they're on their own.'
