A Delhi-based Facebook support group focused on gentle baby sleep and routines.

Gentle Baby Sleep India is a Facebook community based in Delhi that provides support and guidance for parents navigating the challenges of baby sleep. Founded in 2016 by school friends Himani Dalmia and Neha Bhatt while they were new mothers, the group emerged from a shared need for reliable information tailored to local cultural realities. Recognizing that Western sleep training principles—which often focus on crying methods and independent sleeping—do not always fit Indian households where babies frequently share a bed with their parents, the founders set out to develop alternative approaches. With over 60,000 members, the community focuses on helping parents understand the secrets to baby sleep, building healthy routines, and addressing one of the most significant pain points for new parents. By connecting peers facing similar sleep dilemmas, the group offers a supportive virtual village where mothers and fathers can find science-backed guidance, share their experiences, and learn culturally aligned strategies to help their little ones rest peacefully.
