There are few life experiences more joyful than becoming a parent, but caring for a newborn can be daunting, particularly when you’re not sure whose advice to follow or what your baby really needs.
In The Blissful Baby Expert, Lisa Clegg draws on her own experience of motherhood and her professional life as a nanny and maternity nurse to share her essential, trusted advice. Gentle, reassuring and practical, her book guides you every step of the way from birth to two years. It includes:
– Equipment – what is essential and what is helpful
– Coming home – how to cope and bond in the early days
– Sleep – flexible plans to help your baby settle and sleep
– Feeding – guilt-free breast- and bottlefeeding
– Weaning – when to start and how to do it
– Q&As – common worries and what to do
– Development – what to expect and advice on toys
Every baby is different and this is why Lisa’s book isn’t a restrictive one-size-fits-all plan.

With this knowledge, you’ll enjoy calm, happy parenting and a blissful, settled baby.

I read Lisa’s book whilst pregnant which was a huge help to wrap my head around everything that was to come, including lists of essential items to buy, right through to what to expect going into hospital, but most importantly- coming home! However by week 3 my girl had incredibly bad ‘colic’ and we went into survival mode with pretty much everything going out of the window. We had tried absolutely everything made available to us and despite countless visits to the doctors and looking into silent reflux and allergies amongst many other things- we could not figure out why she was so upset. She was incredibly distressed, fed around the clock, refused a bottle and just did not sleep longer than a few hours and exclusively only on me! It was safe to say that by the time I contacted Lisa and began to implement her routines, I was one tired, very stressed & overwhelmed mama looking for any way to help my daughter. At 14 weeks Lisa began supporting us through her membership option and in a nutshell- changed our lives!
With support from Lisa we were able to change everything- within 24 hours, she slept her first block of 5 hours and was back to drinking from a bottle (which she had refused since 9 weeks old) and by night 3 she had slept through. We couldn’t believe it! She became a much happier baby during the days and within a week her ‘colic’ had vanished! Lisa supported us over the next few months to help us establish good feeding and sleeping habits and routine and to cut a long story short- my daughter sleeps through the night (with exception of teething), naps well during the days and is overall a ‘blissful baby.’ The difference this has made to our lives, and to helping me to rebuild my confidence as a first time mum is mind blowing-my only regret is that I didn’t implement these routines earlier!! I recommend Lisa’s book, membership and Instragram to absolutely everyone and cannot put into words how grateful I am for her support.

I used this book along side the blissful baby membership, and was brilliant for me and my twins. They’ve been sleeping and feeding well and together from taking Lisa’s advice.
Lisa helped me try different ways on getting the babies in sync. She has a very gentle approach compared to other routines iv read about. Very happy mummy here x

There are not enough words to describe how this book and Lisa herself have changed my life! I first got this book when my baby was 4 months old. I was co sleeping, sleep deprived and feeding my baby on demand. I felt awful. This book seemed too good to be true. I can get my baby to sleep on her own all night? No way, that sounded like a dream, and a distant one as i was co sleeping and feeding to sleep ALL night. I half heartedly tried some of the techniques in the book, but gave up after a few days, thinking that my baby was just not one of the types of babies that could self soothe etc. A few months later- i was back. More desperate then before and now with a 7 month old. Lisa showed me how to stop night feeding and broke the habit in 1 night! Yes 1 night! And there were hardly any tears involved. It also only took 3 days for the method described to help my baby fall asleep herself to work! And the longest she ever took to fall asleep was 25mins- now max 5! It was not as difficult as i had imagined, and didnt involve anything like crying on her own for hours. My baby is happy and contented-blissful infact! Lisa’s routine has worked to the letter! My baby goes to sleep on her own for naps and at bedtime whereby she wakes 11/12 hours later! My only regret is not sticking at it earlier or even knowing the things i could have done to make my life and my babies easier from birth! I had read other books but nothing compared to this. I registered with Lisa to get one to one support and she has been nothing short of our guardian angel. There isnt any situation that the book or lisa cannot help to trouble shoot and fix, with her gentle, sensitive, non judgmental and caring approach. My family are amazed at the change in my baby- she isnt the wingy, moany, cry baby (unless there is a reason) that she used to be and Lisa’s routine and guidance means we are always on track. We even went to the beach for the first time and it caused minimal disruption to my babies sleep- she slotted straight back into her self soothing and routine when we got back. I recomment this book wihout reservation. Lisa herself cares so much and leaves no stone unturned to make available to new mums like me the gems of parenthood that will literally transform life for the better. We have a hard enough time as it is- this book literally makes things like sleep so much easier to achieve! Thank you for your wonderful book Lisa, i will be using it for any future children. A baby bible!
