Overview

Tizzie Hall's Save Our Sleep gives parents detailed feeding and sleep routines for each age, starting from birth. Babies are wrapped (swaddled), and parents resettle them in the cot rather than feeding them back to sleep.

The routines are very structured, which some parents find reassuring, and the book has been widely read in Australia. Like other clock-based programs, it can be rigid, may not fit cue-based feeding, and hasn't been studied in trials.
