"I'm not ashamed to say that I was an absolute mess the first few weeks after Abby was born. I usually pride myself in being a relatively prepared person, but for prepared for infant, I was not. My sister recommended I read Baby Wise. The theory behind Baby Wise is basically to let your baby 'cry-it-out,' pretty much from day one. My implementation of this technique lasted for about...two nights. In my continued desperateness, I had a couple of people recommend The Baby Whisperer. The theory behind Baby Whisperer is basically, almost always respond to your baby's cry, with a few techniques on different ways to respond and calm. My implementation of this technique lasted for about...four nights. Six days later and complete post-partum depression/zombie-ness, I was nearly suicidal. I can remember on several occasions while implementing Baby Wise and Baby Whisperer techniques thinking, "You've got to be kidding, have these people ever really had their own children and implemented their own techniques?" In the end, what resulted was a successful combination of the two theories. I didn't let Abby just completely cry-it-out, but I also didn't respond to her every single cry by picking her up and doing the, 'shush-pat' for 45 minutes. And when I was letting Abby cry-it-out, I usually sat in chair next to her crib with my hand on her tummy, comforting her, but also letting her know it was time to sleep. It required a lot of persistence and there were many a difficult night, but about eight weeks after Abby arrived, she was sleeping for relatively long stretches during the night. Abby's sleep patterns still have their ebbs and flow. As she's gotten older and her patterns have changed, I've sought more advice from, The Happiest Baby on the Block and Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Baby. The bottom line for me has been that I don't think all the answers can be found in just one book. It has taken a lot of reading different opinions about sleep habits, then considering Abby's wellbeing as well as my own, to find the best fit for us. However, I definitely have to say, my success with Abby's sleeping has only been helped by my being disciplined, persistent, and letting her have the occasional, 'cry-it-out' session. Happy parenting to all and to all lots of sleep!"
"Like myself, many first time parents are clue less. This book really helped me develop a schedule for my baby. Unfortunately, I should have read the book before I had my child to really incorporate it's principles, but I will definitely use it's principles with my next child."
"What a lifesaver this book was for me. I highly recommend this book to all new parents. If the hippie drippy co-sleeping based on the misconcieved birth trauma theory isn't working for ya, try this! To me this book is sanity in a world gone child-centered mad. The proof is in the pudding and both of my very different children were sleeping through the night by 8 weeks old (5 or more hours). At 2 years old my son was so familiar with the feeling of being tired and what to do that if he got cranky he'd say I need a nap. His Grammy was visiting one day and she observed him start to get cranky. He said to her "I need a nap!" and he went to his room. She just laughed, but when he didn't return to the living room after about 10 minutes, she went to check on him and he was in his toddler bed asleep. I'm not saying all kids would do this but both my son and daughter did and I attribute it to keeping a good schedule. Sometimes we had to be flexible with it but we always came back to our regular schedule and it was great for everyone."
"Who wants their baby to sleep through the night and go to sleep without any fuss? Then you should read this book! I first read it when a family I nannied for wanted me to get on board with what they were doing with their daughter. It worked like magic! David and I decided to apply this same program to all of our children. I have 5 kids and they all slept through the night between the ages of 6 weeks and 3 months. The basic principal is getting them on a feeding schedule so that their metabolism can stabalize. This works for breast and bottle feeding mothers alike. (I've done it both ways) They also go to sleep on their own - we just lay them down in the crib and say good-night and leave the room. They may fuss for a few minutes, but that's it. They've all kept this fabulous sleeping skill with them as they've grown as well, which has been great for them and for us. Once it's bedtime, we can have all 5 kids in bed with doors closed within 10 minutes. No crying, no begging, no fuss. I highly recommend this book!!!! (obviously) ;)"
