Boobin' All Day Boobin' All Night: A Gentle Approach To Sleep For Breastfeeding Families

Part memoir, part research and part practical guide, this book is for breastfeeding parents who want gentle answers about night waking and sleep. The author explains why breastfed babies wake so often, why answering their cries matters, and why feeding a baby to sleep is not a bad habit. She shares findings from her own survey of mothers about night feeds and the many who continue to wake to nurse.

Readers will find ways to get more rest without cry-it-out or sleep training, ideas for combining routines with feeding on demand, and guidance on safe co-sleeping and bedsharing, including arrangements for tandem feeding. There are also tips for longer naps, gentle night weaning, and the role gut health may play in night waking. The book is for anyone who is exhausted and overwhelmed, told their way of parenting is wrong, yet who knows in their heart that it is right.
