For tired parents of newborns, birth to 12 weeks
Short naps. Long evenings.
A baby who only sleeps on you. Start here.
Your baby falls asleep in your arms. You put them in the cot.
Their eyes open. Again.
Understand what's normal, what to try when your baby won't settle, and how to approach sleep gently during those first 12 weeks. I've put the advice and practical tools together so you know where to start. No cry-it-out. No rigid schedules.
So, what's actually inside the guide?
I wanted this to be something you would use, not a Guide you download and forget about.
You don't have to read 68 pages tonight. Open the part you need.
Learn why cot transfers can be difficult, how to approach them gently with the settling ladder, and what to try when your baby wakes.
Learn tired cues and awake windows, then use short-nap and bridging-nap guidance to protect one nap a day.
Use the evening crying guide and a flexible bedtime to make the hours before sleep feel more manageable.
Start with safe sleep, then learn what newborn sleep looks like from birth to 12 weeks.
Understand newborn nights, feeding and comfort, and what to try when your baby wakes often.
Print the fridge sheet and the partner page, so everyone helping at night knows what to do.
Your starting point
Not sure where to begin?
I've mapped out the first seven days.
A gentle way to begin, without changing everything at once. Repeat a day, take longer or skip one. Your baby sets the pace.
But why should you trust me?
I'm not just teaching this.I'm not just teaching this.
I'm living it.
I'm Angelica, mum to Lily and a certified baby and toddler sleep consultant in London.
Becoming a mum changed the way I looked at sleep advice. It's one thing to read about wake windows. It's another to be standing beside a cot, wondering whether your baby is hungry, overtired, uncomfortable or simply wants to be held.
So I put together this guide. It explains the newborn stage as it is, not as an idealised schedule says it should be. No unrealistic promises. Just a better understanding of your baby, and the confidence to respond to them. Connection. Calm. Sleep. In that order.
More about me →A little about the families I've supported
Angelica is AMAZING. My baby was constantly waking up at night and needing so much help to fall asleep. Sometimes he'd wake up every 2 hours and sometimes it would take 45min to and hour to get him back down...
I absolutely recommend Sweet Night Baby to anyone who is struggling with their little one and sleep/naps! My daughter was completely stuck in an overtired cycle, 30 min naps, always tired, waking up loads in the night, unable to put herself back to sleep...
Working with Angelica was such a positive experience for our family! When we started, my son was taking four naps a day, rarely napping for more than 30 minutes at a time, and was consistently waking around 4:30 AM for the day...
Still deciding?
A few things
you might be wondering.
Who is this guide for?
Parents of healthy babies from birth to about 12 weeks, whether breastfed, formula fed or both. Born early? Use your baby's corrected age and follow your medical team first.
I don't have time to read a whole guide right now.
You don't have to. Start with Part One. Then pick one section, read it during a feed, try one thing, and come back for the rest.
Will this make my baby sleep through the night?
No, and I wouldn't sell you a guide promising that. Newborns wake frequently, often because they need feeding, comfort or closeness. That's normal.
Do I have to stop feeding or holding my baby to sleep?
Not at all. Feeding, holding and comforting your newborn are normal parts of caring for them. I'll show you other settling options for when they're appropriate, without taking away the comfort your baby needs.
What exactly do I get for £37?
The full 68-page guide, the 12-page printable companion with ten tools, the 7-day starter plan and all nine troubleshooting guides. Read it from start to finish, or open the exact page you need.
