Newborn Sleep Book OUT NOW!
Newborn Sleep Foundations: A handy guide for the first 16 weeks
What is Newborn Sleep Foundations About?
This newborn sleep book brings all the information from my First Steps package and more to create a comprehensive guide to the first 16 weeks of your newborn’s life. You can read it cover to cover or simply dip in and out of the chapters that feel the most relevant to you right now.
“An invaluable resource for new parents seeking to foster healthy sleep habits for their baby without resorting to strict sleep training method”
In this newborn sleep book, we take a holistic look at children’s sleep, considering all the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle: the sleep environment, routine, and how the baby falls asleep, in addition to how much sleep they are actually getting. We also keep in mind the whole family unit and how they are bearing up, including siblings, work pressures, feeding struggles, developmental progress, and other factors.
This book is not about sleep training your child. Instead, it’s designed to help you navigate the first steps, set the sleep foundations, and understand the principles of creating a happy, healthy sleep setup for your new baby.

Interview with Gemma
Q: What inspired you to write this newborn sleep book?
Gemma: This newborn sleep book was born from the desire to make my popular ‘First Steps’ package more accessible to new parents. First Steps aims to support new parents with sleep in the early days, focusing on establishing healthy foundations and covering all the basics. Many who sign up for First Steps tell me they just want an opportunity to ask lots of questions or want to do things right from the start. Often, they’ve been poor sleepers themselves or shift workers and need to prioritise sleep for overall family health and wellbeing. If this sounds like you, then you’re my audience!
Q: Was there a particular moment or experience that sparked the idea for this newborn sleep book?
Gemma: The idea for this newborn sleep book didn’t come from a single moment but rather from numerous conversations with parents who felt overwhelmed and exhausted. They often shared their struggles with me, and I realised there was a significant need for a resource that provided practical, compassionate advice for those crucial first 16 weeks. Parents are particularly vulnerable during this time and susceptible to trying or buying unhelpful gimmicks to get them through it. I wanted to be the voice of reason.
Q: What message or themes do you hope readers take away from your newborn sleep book?
Gemma: I hope readers take away a sense of confidence and reassurance. Understanding what’s ‘normal’ for newborn sleep and how to create a healthy sleep environment can make a world of difference. My goal is to help parents feel empowered to support their baby’s sleep in a way that works for their unique family dynamics.
“Gemma is a sleep wizard!”
“She has so much knowledge and insight into sleep and truly listens to what the individual family are comfortable with in terms of approach, understanding that each child and family are unique.
With Gemma’s help our house is a much happier one, with everyone getting the sleep they need.
Don’t even hesitate – working with Gemma was such a positive experience, we only wish we’d done it sooner!“
