Summary: This is a must for sleep training your youngsters!
Comment: I bought this book when my kids were 6 weeks old on the advice of a friend. It is sooooo informative. The techniques are hard on the heart to implement, but I'm telling you, do what this author says, & it will work! I had twins sleeping thru the night by 3 months! I'm a firm believer! If you really want results & you want to understand what's going on w/your child & their behaviors...this book is a must!

ALL things tried have worked for me & I have a boy w/sleep problems! Buy it, read it, & implement it. This is a book that is a reference book for at least 2 years of your baby's life! Even my husband was skeptical, but it didn't take him long to become a believer! Author explains well different sleep disorders, explains sleep patterns, offers solutions & help as well as shares views on the link between ADHD & sleep deprevation. I'm a believer...& you won't be disappointed w/the purchase of this book!

Summary: Works with twins too
Comment: My 15-month-old twins still weren't sleeping through the night, wouldn't go back to sleep unless in my arms, and were cranky all the time. I was desperate for rest and a full night in my own bed when a friend bought me this book. Imagine my surprise to discover it was written by their new pediatrician. I found the quick-read Action Plans helpful to start with in my sleep-deprived state and made immediate changes from the tips there. Once I read a few chapters, I found out I was doing everything wrong, from keeping them up until they passed out from exhaustion every night, to letting them fall asleep in my arms for every nap. All the statistics and data Dr. Weissbluth included from his research helped me realize how sleep-deprived my poor boys were. Plus the bold, boxed-in Practical Points, hints and warnings were great for quick reference later. I thought the book was a terrific teacher and learned more than just techniques. It educated me about the whole process of sleep, the different types of sleep, and problems surrounding them. Dr. Weissbluth kindly gives options for parents of problem babies who can't tolerate the seeming "cruelty" of his extinction method - but we tried it and I fully recommend it. After three horrible nights of crying (but no less actual sleep for me than usual), the boys settled into their new routine and one month later are sleeping together 10-11 hours through the night 90% of the time and napping together 2-3 hours every day. I've never had so much free time on my hands. They are put in their cribs awake 3 hours earlier every evening now that I've read this book and go to sleep with NO CRYING - I swear. They start the day at the same time as they always did, but now I wake to hear them giggling in the morning instead of crying. And as a bonus, the son I had labeled as colicky, difficult, and fussy is now suddenly eating better, is much less whinny and crabby, and is finally starting to try new things like walking now that he is getting the rest he needs. Thank you Dr. Weissbluth for giving me back my evenings with my husband, and helping me enjoy my wonderful boys during their waking hours. This book is a must have for every parent and I will give it as a baby shower gift from now on.

Summary: A Must have!!
Comment: This was by far my favorite on my bookshelf. I used the book as an infomational tool, but didn't follow it to a T. (ie didn't let him cry it out) It was extremely helpful and my son is a WONDERFUL sleeper. He is 8 months old- sleeps 6pm to 6am and naps 2 two hour naps during the day. I followed his advice of making sure he was down for nap afer being awake for two hours-- makes all of the difference in the world! Not letting him get overtired is the key to his good sleep! This book saved me several hours of fighting sleep and I have recommended it to all of my friends that are expecting! I read this and the no cry sleep and I think this was more helpful.
