She is an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, qualified infant massage instructor, and is a regular guest speaker at maternity hospitals, where she teaches safe and gentle settling techniques to new parents. Pinky is the author of Toddler Tactics, Parenting by Heart and Sleeping Like a Baby A note from the editor: Yet another gorgeous book from Pinky to soothe anxious parents (this was originally published by Lothian in 2002).

As with her other books, this is beautifully written, and the anecdotes from other parents are a major strength.
