""Sleeping like a baby" must be the stupidest phrase ever used. If you've had a baby, you'll know that, for most of them, sleep if often the most difficult thing about being a parent in the early days!
There are plenty of advice books out there to help you teach your baby to sleep but most of them involve some degree of crying, something I just could not handle!
This book helps you to SLOWLY teach your baby to sleep by themselves, with no crying involved. Or very little. The book contains a smorgasboard of techniques to pick and choose from according to your babies age and sleeping issues. You fill in sleep logs at the start of the process and then every 10 days and watch your progress.
Now for our story: We started using the techniques at about 3 months of age and over about 2 months we saw small steps of progress - initially my daughter would need to feed till she was in a deep sleep, by the end of the 2 months I could pull her away after feeding and pat her bottom and she'd fall asleep like that. She initially needed about an hours worth of work to get her to sleep and we ended up developing a really good bedtime routing and cutting it down to about half an hour, of which only 10 mins was feeding. But she still woke every 1-2 hours at night.
Eventually we discovered that she had an underlying problem: food intolerance. See www.fedupwithfoodadditives.info for more information. We started the "Failsafe" diet and a couple of weeks into that she suddenly started waking only twice a night! If I make a mistake with the diet though, she's back to waking 8+ times...
I'm glad I read the No Cry Sleep Solution though, as it gave us the foundations for good sleep, so when the diet kicked in everything just fell into place. I'd definitely recommend it for all parents, and the earlier you can read it in your babies life (or pregnancy!) the better. Be aware though that if it doesn't work, there might be other issues out there that you need to address! (I have two friends whose babies have milk allergies, and for them cutting out dairy was the solution)."
"I would give this ten stars if I could. Elizabeth Pantley is the best (and frankly, only) author I've found who dispenses consistent, realistic, and sound parenting advice, all without making the reader feel inferior or inadequate as a parent. I would add that this book includes advice that goes way beyond getting your child to sleep through the night - I bought it specifically for the portion on getting your child to sleep in his own room, by himself. That was a big struggle for us, and her method not only worked, but it really was gentle and I didn't feel like I was traumatizing my child in the process. I had excellent results after following Pantley's advice."
"This is more a list of ideas from which you construct a do-it-yourself plan than a formal sleep-training guide. Some of the ideas are common sense, but others are less intuitive and things that I would not have thought of. Since it isn't a fixed plan, it does require quite a bit of work on your part to assess your needs, customize a plan, implement it, then reevaluate and revise it. It is a lot to ask from a sleep-deprived new parent. I have tried a few of the ideas with some success, but I have yet to commit to an actual full plan as it seems a bit daunting.
"I rated this one low because I don't believe that there were many practical, workable suggestions here. However, there were a few, and the writing style and organization are *much* better than Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child.
(Addition on 3-15-09). I've re-skimmed the book to see if there were any gems to share with my husband, and I'm not finding much, especially for children under 5 months old. Her advice for these babies generally consists of, "When your baby doesn't settle and fusses instead, you can rock, pat, or even pick him up and give him back the breast, bottle, or pacifier and start over either in a few minutes or for his next nap" (Pantley, 74) Ahem, excuse me, but that is what I had been doing and what I'm trying to get *away from* with sleep training!
But, to not be totally negative, I did gain some worthwhile tidbits from the book, and it was a very accessible read."
