About this book
A gentle way to get more rest and help your child develop healthy sleep habits
Rest Assured is, thankfully, not another sleep training book. This is a book for parents who want to help their babies sleep while staying true to the instinctual drive for parent-child connection, security, and attachment. Yes, it is possible. Author Louise Herbert—a certified expert in sleep science, lactation, and perinatal and infant mental health—offers a neuroscience-backed approach that supports each child's unique needs and biological development to promote safe, healthy, and restful sleep. Inside, you'll find practical guidance on trusting yourself and your child to find the middle ground between "cry it out" and "wait it out."
Learn about the biology of healthy, safe, biologically normal infant sleep, and get a how-to guide for supporting natural, healthy sleep in a way that results in easier, more restful nights for the whole family. If you're in need of a way to help your baby sleep well, Rest Assured will ease your stress and equip you to navigate this pivotal parenting phase.
- Get practical guidance on infant sleep that aligns with our human drive for connection and secure, thriving attachments

If you're struggling with your infant's or toddler's sleep patterns, this book gives you a nurture-based alternative to "cry it out" sleep training techniques.
