Sleep is almost always an issue in families with young kids. Every family is different, with different expectations and different abilities to cope with the sleep deprivation that comes with parenthood. Don’t expect miracles before 6 months- the young baby is programmed to require night feeds which can be normal until 8-9 months of age. Thereafter, demanding a milk feed is usually not a nutritional issue but a comfort “prop” to help them fall asleep again.
Teaching a child to self soothe is an important tool to impart on your young one and can be done from about 4 months of age when the baby’s brain becomes mature enough to learn patterns. They may need a comforter such as a special taglet-blanket, soft toy or dummy (or a combination of these) to help them fall asleep. Whatever it takes, teaching a child to self-settle with gentle support requires a lot of patience but is certainly worthwhile in the long run.

Mr. Darcy & Miss Tilney Mysteries (Books 1 & 2) by Claudia Gray
Mysteries involving Jane Austen characters? That is the premise of Claudia Gray’s recent mystery series suitable for mature teen readers as well as adults.

But step away from the YA section to the shelves of adult mysteries, and here are some books that could be enjoyed by older teens. Granted, they are not without considerations, as noted below. However, I found them far more enjoyable and less problematic than many YA novels I have picked up lately (hmm, this looks good, shall research it … polyamorist relationships? No, not for our readers! Back to browsing …)
Claudia Gray’s new Mr. Darcy and Miss Tilney series* is a creative reimagining of Jane Austen set in a classic mystery genre formula. The two first books in the series could be enjoyable for readers 16 and older, given some considerations. (See more below.)
