PRECIOUS LITTLE SLEEP

Alexis Dubief

The Complete Baby Sleep Guide for Modern Parents

Parenting a baby or toddler is the grandest adventure of all when you're not miserably exhausted. Sleep expert Alexis Dubief, of the wildly popular website Precious Little Sleep, imparts effective, accessible, and flexible strategies based on years of research that will dramatically improve your child's sleep.

This book will help you tackle the thorniest sleep snags, including:
- Navigating the tricky newborn phase like a pro
- Getting your child to truly sleep through the night
- Weaning off the all night buffet
- Mastering the precarious tango that is healthy napping
- Solving toddler and preschooler sleep struggles

If you're looking for practical solutions to improve your child's sleep in a book that won't put you to sleep, this is for you.

Alexis Dubief gave birth to her first child in 2006 and quickly realized that sleep or a lack thereof was suddenly the bane of her existence. Yet no book, website, or community seemed to have ready answers. Figuring that "this shouldn't be so hard," she spent the next five years researching and analyzing infant and child sleep. Combining scientific evidence with insights gleaned from working with thousands of families, she founded the Precious Little Sleep blog/podcast in 2011. In just a few short years, this passion project meant to demystify baby sleep blossomed into a popular online destination for sleep-starved parents from all over the world, garnering millions of hits annually and inspiring a loyal following. Dubief holds a Master of Finance and an MBA from the University of Colorado. A trail runner and Spartan racer, she writes and rabble rouses near Burlington, VT, with her husband and their two boys who are growing up faster than she would like.

This is a book I will recommend to every parent I work with. Precious Little Sleep captures Alexis's common sense approach to sleep, along with her delicious sense of humor, compassion and straight talk to help any parent who is looking to begin their parenting journey with a plan for supporting their child's healthy sleeping habits and for parents already "in the soup" when it comes to baby and sleep. It is a book long overdue and is sure to bring comfort, to parents longing for answers and solutions concerning kids and sleep.

I admit to not having always abided by the sleep rules with my children, but I would have been much more likely to do so had I read something that presented them with such humor.

If you have a baby, you need to laugh and you need to sleep. Maybe in that order. Precious Little Sleep gives you seriously large doses of both. Alexis Dubief's hilarious, no-nonsense approach to baby sleep pretty much saved my life.

In the pages of this book, Alexis Dubief becomes the friend that we all wish we had to guide us through the mysterious world of infant sleep. Her advice is grounded in science and bolstered by her experience working with many families, but it's also practical and empathetic, and best of all, FUNNY. She's created an indispensable guide that is a pleasure to read, even - or especially - for sleep-deprived parents.

Dubief's book is as no-nonsense yet funny and compassionate as the blog that led to it. It's the most thorough book on baby sleep out there that relies heavily on the evidence, doesn't force advice on parents or patronize them, and, above all, doesn't pile on the guilt.
