| Safety first | Safe sleep and product safety for babies under 12 months. | Safe sleep checklist, product checklist |
| Age stages | What sleep can look like from newborn to preschool. | Stage pages, sample rhythms, when to seek help boxes |
| Sleep skills | Responsive settling, routines, naps and night waking. | Decision tree, scripts, troubleshooting tables |
| Worries and red flags | Parasomnias, snoring, breathing and parent wellbeing. | Seek help pages, GP appointment prep, survival plan |
