Helping Your Baby to Sleep -
Why gentle techniques work best
by Anni Gethin & Beth Macgregor

In this groundbreaking book, authors Anni Gethin and Beth Macgregor argue against the practice of ‘controlled crying’, in which parents are encouraged to ‘train’ their children to sleep by ignoring their crying and distress.
Instead they present important research into babies’ emotional and brain development, and offer gentle techniques for parents to use, which take into account a baby’s natural sleep habits.

‘This excellent book, and the resources it directs parents to, offers ways of working with babies’ sleep patterns and of creating the conditions for better sleep without endangering a baby’s mental health or
damaging its experience of being loved and safe.’
From the foreword by Steve Biddulph, author of Raising Boys

Beth Macgregor is a psychologist who trains health and welfare workers in infant mental health, and an active
member of the Australian Association for Infant Mental Health. Anni Gethin is a health social scientist with
