Now, in The Sleep Lady®’s Gentle Newborn Sleep Guide, she offers gentle, research-backed, easy-to-remember and easy-to-apply ways to help your newborn sleep. In month-by-month chapters that are easily digestible (even in the middle of the night!), West and her Gentle Sleep Team share: The key developmental milestones from birth through 5 months, and how they impact your baby’s sleep F.A.S.T.
