But kids don't need to be trained to sleep--they're built to sleep. Sleep issues arise when parents (with the best of intentions) over-help or "helicopter parent" at night, overshadowing their baby's innate biological ability to sleep well. In The Happy Sleeper, child sleep experts Heather Turgeon and Julie Wright show parents how to be sensitive and nurturing, but also clear and structured so that babies and little kids develop the self-soothing skills they need to: fall asleep independently establish a full, 11-12 hour night of sleep take regular, healthy naps grow into natural, optimal sleep patterns for day and night. The Happy Sleeper is a research-based guide to helping children do what comes naturally--sleep through the night. The Happy Sleeper features a foreword by neuropsychiatrist and popular parenting expert Dr. Daniel Siegel, author of Parenting from the Inside Out and the New York Times bestseller Brainstorm . Review: THE ONLY SLEEP BOOK YOU NEED - Our baby loves his crib. Took us one weekend of protesting and he’s got a great habit to keep his sleep healthy and rejuvenating. We share this book with all our friends and they love it. It gives you peace of mind in the science behind what you’re teaching your baby so you can have the confidence to know you’re giving them tools they’ll benefit from for the rest of their lives. We reference this book frequently. It’s good from day 1 and helpful through toddlerhood. We started the sleep wave when our baby had just weaned from overnight bottle and could roll over to his stomach. He had used a paci and needed me to put it back in every hour, but we knew he was smart enough to learn to use his hand. Took him about one hour to figure that out and after two nights of protesting, he learned how to barely wake up at the end of a sleep cycle, turn over, and go back to sleep — just like we do as adults! Truly amazing! Having baby sitters has been so much easier because they don’t have to be nap trapped or worry with putting him to bed. He sleeps 7-6:30 every night. We put him down awake but sleepy about 6:45 and he may fuss for a minute but he simply rolls over, sucks his thumb, and falls asleep. This book gave us our health back - we’re able to get sleep, catch up on chores, and relax, knowing he’s comfy in his crib. This made all the difference!!! BUY IT. Review: A must read for any parent feeling conflicted about sleep! - This book and then a phone consultation with Heather was exactly what we needed. I can see in other reviews not everyone feels the same way but not every mom or family’s needs are the same. We felt like this book was a life saver. The information, gentle approach and science to back it up has helped me be the mom I want to be....loving, nurturing, supportive and also getting some sleep myself so I can be present and enjoy being a mom. After struggling for months with our baby’s sleep at 4 and 5 months old (up every hour to breastfeed so he could fall back asleep) I was feeling SO conflicted about what to do. Cry it out methods didn’t vibe with us and other sleep strategies we found sounded like organizing a rocket launch (way too much to think about at 3am). I received some advice from a mid wife that he would just grow out of this phase and start sleeping in longer stretches naturally but after months of no sleep, we needed something else. This book was the perfect in between approach...so straightforward, simple and gentle. Our little guy immediately started falling asleep easier, sleeping longer stretches and putting himself back to sleep with a few noises but very little crying. After a few weeks of practicing tips from the book we scheduled a phone consultation with Heather. She gave us some feedback and minor adjustments that made a HUGE difference. The strategies are not black and white, there is a lot of wiggle room to make it your own. I still breastfeed twice a night because I love it. These women know what they are talking about, are so easy to relate to and really helpful!! I shared this book with several mom friends and they are all loving it! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #168,545 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #12 in Sleep Disorders #35 in School-Age Children Parenting #39 in School-Age Children | ## Images ![The Happy Sleeper: The Science-Backed Guide to Helping Your Baby Get a Good Night's Sleep-Newborn to School Age - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71D4GBsQcwL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ THE ONLY SLEEP BOOK YOU NEED *by E***N on August 28, 2023* Our baby loves his crib.

My baby was 6.5 months old and nursing every 1-2 hours each night. Every night. It was slowly killing me even though I loved cuddling him and nursing him back to sleep. We had the quietest house. The instant the baby stirred I would jump up and nurse him back to sleep. Then he got smarter and wiggled his way into our bed. I swore I would never allow such a thing to happen. Then he found a way to fall asleep with me on my side nursing him as he refused to let me put him in his crib or on our bed unless he was clinging to me. He was so great during the day. Giggling and never crying. I held him as much as I could. What can I say! My 21 pound 6 month old really is the cutest baby. Lol. Then came the dreaded words. Sleep Training. Everyone was urging me to pull the plug. Make him cry it out. Stop spoiling that baby. Just let him cry until he exhausts himself. These were the things I refused to do. My baby deserves more. I could suffer with sleep deprivation. Right?! This is a temporary stage. Right? WRONG! This book is gentle and caring. It’s not about pulling plugs or crying out of control. I tried to wean my baby of night feedings but he wanted more so I decided enough was enough. Last week we moved baby to his nursery next door (probably not recommended but I swear he could smell my milk supply). We got our iPhone timers ready and got out the Kleenex. Except a miracle happened instead. Baby cried for 15 minutes total. Every 5 minutes we said our mantra which made him cranky that we weren’t picking him up and that was it. After 15 minutes he was sleeping. For hours! Now he wakes up about once a night for a few seconds and is back to bed before we even know it. I thought he would starve to death skipping all his night feedings. Nope! For the first time in a LONG time I slept. Uninterrupted for hours and hours. Thank you Happy Sleeper. My baby was not as stubborn as expected and he goes to bed and all his naps without crying. It is a miracle. All it took was 15 minutes. Mind blown! Your gentle caring approach made me feel this was the right thing for us. No one who has seen what I used to go through believes this baby is a big boy now. Sleeping for a solid 9 hours. We will work towards 11 hours but I had to say thank you! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/105740519-the-happy-sleeper-the-science-backed-guide-to-helping-your](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/105740519-the-happy-sleeper-the-science-backed-guide-to-helping-your) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-09-15*
