Twelve Hours' Sleep by Twelve Weeks: A Step-by-Step Plan for Baby Sleep Success

Why is it important to establish sleep routines from the beginning?

Sleep is fundamental for the baby's development and for the parents' rest. Establishing an early routine can make the difference between peaceful nights and constant awakenings. This book, written by Suzy Giordano and Lisa Abidin, offers a clear and structured approach to help babies sleep soundly from the first weeks.

The 12-hour method: what does it consist of?

The method known as "12 hours of sleep at 12 weeks" is based on the creation of consistent habits. Giordano, a mother of five and an expert in infant sleep, developed this system after years of experience. The plan includes regular feeding and nap schedules, as well as techniques to teach the baby to calm down on their own. It is not about letting the baby cry uncontrollably, but about gently guiding them towards nocturnal independence.
