This guide is intended as a summary of established British medical practice on baby sleep promotion techniques at the time of publication.

The guide has been widely endorsed by UK health professionals and has been used successfully by thousands of parents without professional help, but using it without medical supervision is at your own risk.

The author is a researcher, not a medical practitioner, and can take no responsibility for any harm or mishap befalling your baby while you are following the advice in this guide, nor for any changes in standard medical practice that take place subsequent to the purchase of any one individual copy.

A baby sleep programme such as that in sections 5 & 6 of this guide is best used with the additional guidance of your health professional and should not be carried out before the child is six months old.

You must also check with a medical practitioner first if you have any concerns about your baby’s health.

Those using the guide outside the UK should understand that any issues arising from its use will only be dealt with within the context of the British legal system.
