An easy-to-read A to Z all about the easy-on-the-eye psychology of why your baby or toddler is suddenly attached to you like a koala with velcro. It looks at what a secure attachment is and how it is achieved. This book combines my love of psychology with practical common-sense parenting. This is the book every parent needs to read.
Understanding why your child is suddenly behaving as they are gives you a deep understanding and empathy. They are asking to be understood. This is the biggest developmental leap of their first 18 months and it is the single most important one. Learning to be separate sets them off on the road to becoming a separate individual and to becoming independent.
I’m on a mission to help your baby and you achieve better sleep through my evidence-based baby sleep program. With over 20 years of experience as a sleep consultant in Australia and over 34 years as a registered midwife, I’ve been able to help 50K + families enjoy the joy of parenthood to their fullest.
Join our family today and learn to sleep blissfully!
These kind sleep methods are my own specific methods and have helped many desperate and sleep-deprived families. They are based in conscious and authoritative parenting and involve co-regulation. I do not do or promote controlled crying.
This book is for those parents who would like a choice and would like a good night’s sleep. Without information and knowledge, you actually have no choices as a parent. I’m hoping to change this.
Karen is a world renowned baby sleep consultant and midwife and has written many parenting books. She is currently finishing off book no 9 all about reflux, eczema and food allergy.
This program has saved my family! My 11 mo has never slept for more than 2 hours and lately it’s been hourly wakes for us. I was exhausted. We’re now 7 days into the program and last night my little one slept 2 x 4 hours. She woke twice in the night, once she self-settled and the other time she had a milk feed and self-settled afterwards. She also ditched the dummy through this program at day one and we’re not looking back. It’s been a lifesaver. Thank you Karen!
I'm so happy for you Romina, well done and thank you for your lovely review X
I have been going to Karen since my daughter was 7 weeks old. Even through her toddler years, Karen has been spot on and has helped immensely with toddler behaviour related questions. Karen guided me through potty training issues and how to best navigate them based on my strong willed child.
Karen was understanding, kind and supportive with clear strategies to help improve our toddlers sleep. She explained what was happening and gave us a plan to follow. This is the second child we have used Karen’s methods with and I would recommend Nurture Parenting to any parents wanting to better understand their babies sleep and gently help them to self soothe and sleep better.
After buying Karen’s newborn program and successfully using it on baby 2, i decided to start even earlier with baby 3. I got a little confused on certain things since she’s preemie but Karen helped me go back to my core and center, listened attentively and answered all my questions. She also went beyond that and shared new ideas with me. It was ace. I might book another in a few weeks if needed. For now baby is doing everything by the book
I just wanted to write and say thank you. We started your program almost three weeks ago, and it has dramatically changed our babies sleep for the better. Toby (10 months) went from waking 6+ times each night. We fumbled during each wake, as we offered dummies, bottles, whatever we thought would stop the crying for a moment. The only thing that we achieved, was waking him up even more and frustrating the **** out of him!
The first night of magic presence took 40 minutes, and now he is down within minutes once he is placed in the cot. We have had a few sleep throughs as well.
Your advice and videos are so clear and succinct. We found them so easy to follow. To compare, we looked back on a sleep consultant plan that we paid $300+ for with our firstborn and were stunned at how complicated and convoluted the plan was. No wonder it didn't work!!
I was so nervous about going back to work being so sleep deprived, and I was also concerned about how Toby would cope with the transition to day care. However, I now feel a lot more confident (and well rested!).
All the best and thank you again.
