Preorder opens 2nd June
This has been in the making for the past 18 months - I’m so excited to share this with you!
As a Midwife, Nurse and a Mum of 2 (including a newborn - I’m right there in the trenches with you!), I know that you could be feeling exhausted, sleep deprived and overwhelmed at times by your baby’s sleep.
I have created this book Let’s Sleep: The First Year so that you can actually drink your coffee (hot!), have time for yourself during the day, put your baby to bed by 7pm and have time to watch Netflix with your partner.
This is your complete guide to do it your way because there is no one size fits all approach!

"This book is a revelation. I will be recommending this book for every one of my patients (and the new grandparents!). I wish I had this resource when I had my own children! As a new (and uncommonly young and glamorous) grandmother, I cannot wait to give a copy to my son and daughter-in-law.”

Meet the author & contributors
Hi, I’m Jazz Kostov
letssleep.com.au @lets__sleep
Get to know me
I’m the proud founder of Let’s Sleep.
As a registered nurse, midwife, certified sleep consultant and previously a maternal and child health nurse I've always been dedicated to supporting families in their parenting journey - right from pre conception and pregnancy to postpartum and beyond.
I’m a Mum to two incredible girls Hazel and Adeline and have an amazing husband, Alex.
Let’s Sleep was created because I wanted to avoid sleep deprivation in parenthood and the inevitable ripple effects this has on our physical and mental health, relationships and enjoyment of parenting (and help as many parents in the process too).
In 2025, I authored and self-published Let’s Sleep The First Year, a book on baby sleep. I can’t wait to see the impact this has on families far and wide.

My mission is to empower you with the tools and intuition you need to make the best decisions for your family when it comes to sleep. Remember that there are no “bad habits” when it comes to baby sleep. There are simply habits that either work or don’t work for you and your family.
Let’s Sleep is a small, family owned and operated business.
Currently, we manage all orders and shipping internally (meaning a member of the team is physically wrapping up and posting your order to you).
We aim to ship orders within 2 business days.
As soon as your order is shipped, you will receive a confirmation email with a tracking code so that you can easily track your order.
Australia and New Zealand
We use Australia Post to deliver all orders within AU and NZ - you’ll be given the option at checkout to choose whether your parcel can be left or if you’d prefer to sign at time of delivery.
Shipping within Australia is a flat rate of $14.95AU for standard post
Express postage is $18.95AU and will be delivered in 1-4 business days.
*All our books are shipped from Melbourne, Australia. Please visit the Australia Post website to see shipping times to your area.
International
For international orders, we use DHL express which is a more costly option, however due to COVID the shipping is incredibly fast compared to other options (rather than you waiting months for delivery!).
All prices listed are in AUD
International delivery costs are based on the number of books ordered. We are always on the lookout for more affordable options to ship books to you - however at this stage, this is the best option we have.
Shipping costs will be calculated at time of purchase.
DHL express delivery time can be anywhere from 2-15 days from ship date to delivery (dependent on location).
Additional info
Orders shipped internationally may incur additional fees & duties. The responsibility for any custom duties, foreign taxes or other fees which may be imposed is with the customer only.
Should the customer refuse to pay applicable duties & taxes applied by customs, the responsibility lies with the customer to arrange for the order to be returned in order to receive a refund.
If the customer refuses to accept the delivery from DHL and Let’s Sleep is charged for return of the parcel, the return shipping amount will be deducted from the customer's refund.
Customers are responsible for collecting parcels from your post-office if an attempted-delivery has been made. We are not responsible for incorrect addresses entered and there will be a redelivery postage charge if the address was incorrect or item uncollected (please double-check your address at checkout).
You may notice the book is priced higher than those typically found at kmart or amazon - here’s why:
I chose to self-publish instead of working with a large publishing house (they can often get cheaper deals when creating books). By self-publishing, I maintain full control over the content and quality of this book, ensuring it aligns perfectly with the vision and values here at Let’s Sleep.
The book is printed on demand in small batches. When a batch sells out, I will open preorders for the next round of books. This might mean a short wait if you preorder (which i’ll always make clear)
At almost every stage of this project, I've been so lucky to partner with small businesses to support their incredible work. This includes local photographers like Molly Heath, Megan Dwyer, Elyse Lagos, one of my lifelong friends Fenja as well as Steph from St. Clement Creative, whose incredible graphic design skills brought this book to life.
We truly appreciate your investment in this book. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need any further information!
