Description

Everything you need to know about getting your baby or toddler to sleep -- from America's foremost baby and childcare experts. Babies don't automatically know how to sleep through the night; they need to be taught. The Sears family has learned from decades of pediatric practice, bolstered by their own parenting experiences, that different babies have different nighttime temperaments -- and, of course, different families have different lifestyles. Instead of espousing the kind of "one method fits all" approach advocated in other baby sleep guides, the Sears family explains how you can create a sleep plan that suits the needs of your entire family. With a sharp focus on the practical tools and techniques, The Baby Sleep Book covers such topics as: The facts of infant sleep vs. adult sleep Figuring out where, when, and how your child sleeps best Fail-safe methods for soothing a crying infant How to make night nursing easier, and how to stop Nighttime fathering tips Whether co- sleeping makes sense for you Nap-time strategies that work Medical and physical causes of night waking Sleep habits in special situations such as traveling, teething, and illness Read more

    • Best sleep book
Format: Kindle
I love this book. I would recommend it to anyone having a baby. Babies are a commitment and any parent knows that. This book gives lots of recommendations that are good for the baby and the parents. My son is 2 months old, and although I can’t say for certain he will continue to sleep well for most nights, I have ways to try at 4 months if I need to. I already practice some, so I don’t accidentally startle him when I put him in his pack n play. I can tell the author cares about all babies so I would feel safe trying these methods! I’m glad I’m reading it now at 2 months so I hopefully don’t get into some situations in the book. I would HIGHLY recommend ... show more

    • Co-sleeping reassurance
What was said resonates with my sense of how sleeping should go. I bought this book, among other, NOT co-sleep favored books, and love the practical approach of this one. I'm a single mother to a beautiful little girl, who started getting night terrors at a year old due to ignoring sleep cues while trying to give her father visits at his lunch. Thankfully, he sees what's best for her is to have a (relatively) structured sleep schedule, with information like what's in this book, to back me up. There's not much information out there on single-mother sleep coaching, so I am glad this was--at least briefly--addressed. Mostly I'm happy to have co-sleeping and night-nursing support. My now 1.5yr old daughter is happy and healthy, and night-terror-free. ... show more

    • The only sleep book I trust
This book gives scientific reasons for mother's intuition and for babies waking often. Although it offers methods to get longer stretches of sleep, the premise is "it is all temporary; let's deal with it well." My reason for agreeing with this school of thought is simple. I decided to have a baby now I will do my best to take care of her every need and enjoy every minute with her. If you are not a patient person, this book is not for you. If you don't like breastfeeding around the clock, this book is not for you. I love that they describe "high need babies," something other books don't do. These are babies that will stop a nothing to tell you what they need ASAP. I was blessed with such a baby; the advise given in this book has worked and has helped me keep my sanity. At 14 months we are now waking up once at night for a short nursing session. By following the advise of making sleep a comfortable and happy state, she gladly goes to sleep when it's time. I honestly can't remember the last time she cried at night. I took away 1 star because it is a bit pushy about co-sleeping. The "study" mentioned in this chapter is questionable (they gather data on their own baby) and I think a lot of the observations often come with a baby's age and maturity. I take it with a grain of salt and co-sleep only when my daughter does not want to sleep in her own crib (which at this point is rare). ... show more

    • Book Review
Format: Paperback
This is a great book and help one to understand the patterns of a baby. This is not an instruction manual on a baby but it will give parents a better understanding on how a baby develops and many facts about babies sleep necessities. All babies are different and there is no perfect way to get a baby to sleep, but you can come much closer to satisfying your baby by understanding their needs. This also educates parents on the development of a baby and how what to expect at different ages. I would totally recommend this book, you will get much more than you expect from this book. ... show more

    • A god's send!
Format: Paperback
I have an 11 month old daughter, and she has been a difficult infant since about 6 weeks. She was colicky until about 5 months, but I am still having difficulty putting her to sleep during the day, keeping her asleep, and her constant night-nursing. I am still reading the book, but I can thankfully say that when I read a patients' experience, and placing her on a 30 degree angle for acid reflux..I WAS ECSTATIC! That day, she took a 2.5 hr nap! I haven't confirmed this with an official diagnosis, but the signs are all there and as soon as I put her on a pillow, the naps are longer and she doesn't wake up screaming. We are still working on a few things, but I am so thankful that I purchased this book and I feel like an expert! I recommend this to any parent looking for an answer to the sleep problem. Its worth it. You never know where the answer or problem lies. ... show more

    • A great guide to attachment parenting in sleep, love it!
Format: Kindle
Excellent book. I really liked it. Am still reading it. It has become my point of reference for baby sleep and nap times! What I really love is that it does not go on saying "let baby cry it out". It is way more empathetic and a guide to patient sleep and night time parenting rather than just saying "cry it out". It resonates with my idea and way of putting baby to sleep and responding when he wakes up. So I say it is a must read for new parents or parents to be, particularly if you want to go the attachment parenting route with sleep. ... show more

    • Buyer Beware
Format: Paperback
I bought this book to hopefully help me to figure out how to best get my daughter to nap. The first time I opened it, I was already crying, as my 2 month old baby was upstairs crying for her nap. It was one of the first times I let her "cry it out" and believe me, I did it because there were no other options. This book all but came out and said that I was doing permanent damage to her by letting her cry it out. That only made my emotional state worse. I shut the book and have never opened it again. If you are an attachment parent, defiantely get this book. If you are on the fence and considering letting your baby cry it out, you might get some use out of this book. However, if you know you will let your baby cry it out because it is the best choice for you and your family, and there is no one size fits all parenting, then I would not recommend this book. Also, if you have any other sleeping situation than co-sleeping, this book is not for you. Not only does he hardly mention non-co-sleeping arrangements and solutions, he also hints that if you don't co-sleep you aren't making a good choice for your baby. ... show more
