Rachel Waddilove is the author of two practical down to earth books 'The Baby Book - How to Enjoy Year One' and The Toddler Book - How to Enjoy Your Growing Child'. Both these books are published in paperback by Lion Hudson. Rachel is currently writing her third book about all issues relating to sleep due to be published in Autumn 2012. Sleep problems with babies and young children can be so destructive to family life and this is a subject that many parents contact Rachel about. With enough sleep most people feel they can achieve anything but without enough sleep, everything becomes impossible.
