Sleep Play Love

A welcome alternative to the traditional one-size-fits-all methods of sleep training, this easy-to-read book will transform your parenting experience and restore the rest and harmony that your family deserves. With a down-to-earth and relatable approach, Sophie offers a gentle and flexible solution to the modern-day parenting, sleep, and behavioral challenges so that you may achieve sustainable sleep patterns for your newborn, toddler, and preschooler.

This book will provide you with:

- An understanding of the inextricable relationship between children's emotions and sleep
- Simple tools to strengthen the parent-child connection and improve sleep and behavior
- Evidence-based sleep routines for newborns to three-year-olds
- Effective solutions to cope with separation anxiety, catnapping, early rising, reflux, colic, nightmares, bedtime resistance, night terrors, overnight waking, teething, and illness
- Gentle, easy-to-follow methods for encouraging self-settling and overcoming sleep habits such as feeding, rocking and holding to sleep, and weaning from breastfeeding, the bottle, or pacifier
- Help to tackle life transitions such as introducing a new sibling, starting childcare, ceasing cosleeping, moving from a crib to toddler bed, night weaning, travel, and potty training

"Sophie writes the way she coaches in real life. If you're looking for a friend and mentor to guide you through parenting, this is the book for you."
- Meg Tuohey, Relationship Expert

“This book was a game changer in the way I engage with my children. Although my daughter and son have always been good sleepers, the deeper understanding that this book provides fosters a more meaningful, more connected relationship with my little ones. Thank you.”
–Samantha, Parent

“Sophie has done something I desperately needed; she’s made easily understandable some incredibly effective practices and philosophies in a down-to-earth, practical way. Her recommendations are drawn from scientific research (which for me is a requirement for any good parenting resource) and a deep background in on-the-ground experience effectively supporting parents. Sleep Play Love resonated with my own research, as well as intuition, and I’m bolstered knowing I’ve got the concepts and practices in this book in my parenting toolkit.”
–Liberty, Early Childhood Educator

“This book is a game changer for babies and parents.”
- Gina, Parent

“Sophie's book has been an absolute lifesaver. As a busy mother of four, her practical no-fuss solutions to sleep have been our secret weapon during growth spurts and developmental milestones.”
- Cindy, Holistic Health Practitioner

“I turned to this book amidst my son’s four-month sleep regression. What I loved most was how real, relatable (and digestible) all of the information is. It really helped me to understand normal baby development, and at the same time, providing simple, yet kind and effective strategies to use at four months and beyond. I will continue to refer to this book as my boy gets older and we face different challenges with sleep and behavior.”
–Allison, Parent

“The Sleep Play Love Book presents a countless number of invaluable parenting tools that I use to connect with my children on a daily basis; deepening our bond. Sophie's loving approach to parenting resonates with my heart more than any other, and I appreciate the knowledge I have gained so much I almost considered having another child just so I could put it into practice at the newborn and infant stages!”
–Erika, Parent

About the Author

Sophie Acott is a mother, certified sleep consultant, parent coach, homebirth enthusiast, and conscious parenting advocate. After working with families for many years using traditional behavioral methodologies, Sophie recognized that something was amiss. Mainstream cry-it-out and popular sleep-training techniques lacked sustainability and failed to acknowledge the inextricable link between the parent-child connection and sleep challenges. On the contrary, the trend toward attachment parenting and no-cry approaches—while a move in the right direction—ignored the fundamental function of crying to help children release everyday stress and heal from trauma. Sophie conceptualized the Sleep Play Love method from her desire to empower parents with the tools and confidence to overcome sleep challenges as their children evolved beyond babyhood. Sophie shares her wealth of sleep experience and knowledge via her growing Facebook community of thousands of parents, and her Sleep Play Love blog. Born and raised in Australia, Sophie now resides in San Diego, California, with her husband and four young children.
