I'm not sure what to say about this book, other than that it made me feel like a normal parent and human! It didn't offer a lot of brand new information or things I didn't already know, but it made me feel better about my family's sleep situation - unlike other sleep books I've read. I felt hope that eventually sleep situations will changes and there's an easier, more comfortable way to journey through this season. If you're not comfortable with more intense methods of sleep training, or feeling exhausted, you should read this book!

As the mother of a baby that just won’t sleep I’ve read a LOT of books about sleep offering all sorts of magical fixes. This book doesn’t, and that’s what makes it so great!
Let’s Talk About Your New Family’s Sleep is very well researched and encourages you to reframe how you think about sleep. The book opens with 10 very encouraging sleep myths and goes on to focus on truths
One thing that makes this book stand out among baby sleep books is its focus on parental sleep; Hookway is very interested in ensuring parents are in the right frame of mind to approach their babies’ sleep.
Although she’s not offering magic fixes Hookway does offer some helpful, gentle tips to readjust your babies sleep.
Would definitely recommend to new parents with babies that hate sleep.

This book interested me as I have a 18 month old that we co sleep with but unfortunately for me it was like a high school essay and I learnt nothing new.
It’s not a book you can pick up and just dip in to and no new parent is going to labour over this long book that just doesn’t offer anything new
