"Lyndseys approach to supporting parents with their baby and young
child’s sleep is both warm, realistic and accessible, rooted in the
current evidence base. Her work builds on the understanding of
children’s needs and the science of sleep, whilst protecting and
nurturing the bond and connection between the parent and child and
all we know about the importance of loving relationships, babies
and brain development whilst protecting the breastfeeding
relationship."
*Zoe Faulkner IBCLC, Chair of LCGB*

detail with the emotion and experience of new parenting and
communicates it all in a way we can understand."

"Bless you, Lyndsey Hookway. You have done it again. Parents need
solid, compassionate, and evidence based information when it comes
to sleep and the health of their wee ones. Lyndsey Hookway knows
how to deliver this information with an emphasis on relationships
at the core of solving sleep issues. One of the best investments
you will ever make for your family is to focus on health supportive
activities like sleep and this book will help every family find the
balance and tools necessary."
*Laurel Wilson IBCLC, TEDx Speaker, Author*
"Lyndsey's work is a breath of fresh air as it offers families
evidence-based, non-judgmental, and practical advice that doesn't
ignore that there are real people with real feelings who are
struggling with their baby's sleep. Her compassion for their
struggles is clear without compromising on the gentle nature of her
advice and this helps set her apart."
*Tracy Cassels, PhD*
"In Let's talk about your new family's sleep Lyndsey is
inviting new parents into an honest, heartfelt, compassionate
conversation about the realities of infant and toddler sleep.
Backed by science, this is an evidence-based resource that will
empower parents to realise that they are the answer their baby is
looking for. Why? Because, as Lyndsey so eloquently describes,
nighttime parenting isn't about a set of strategies, it's about
relationship. I'd encourage all parents to pick up this book with
an open mind and a soft heart as you bravely emerge into the parent
your baby needs you to be so that you can thrive alongside one
other after the sun goes down."
*Tracy Gillett, writer and advocate*
