I AM SLEEPING!!!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this book! My daughter was 9 months old when I started reading it, and I was able to begin applying the new techniques immediately. Just a few weeks ago, she wouldn't nap for more than 30 minutes, woke every hour and a half to two hours in a fit, and was a happy but very tired baby. My husband and I decided to try the longer, gentler approach before letting her cry-it-out, and it is working beautifully! In just a few weeks, she has gone from nursing every hour and a half to waking just twice a night to nurse, napping for about an hour twice daily (and very routinely also), and growing into a much happier baby!! She plays better, eats better, and is more predictable with her naps and eating. We have had minimal tears, and my daughter will now go down with my husband also- without even so much as a whimper! I had read several sleep books: Dr. Ferber, Dr. Sears, Healthy Sleep Habits Happy Baby; all of which were very insightful and well-thought, but this book really hit the mark for us! I love these techniques and am passing the book on to my friends once I am done reading it. I encourage you to explore all avenues before deciding on a sleep routine, because nearly 95% of parents who pick a routine, ANY routine, and stick to it, will be successful in getting their baby to sleep.

helpful but no panacea

We have made some progress using ideas from this book in getting our baby (now 6 months) to sleep in her crib, but it has been very difficult and she still wakes frequently and requires our attention during the night.

Some good ideas, overall too complicated and hard

This book has some good pointers about babies and sleep including a graph of how much your baby should be sleeping. However, the plan is way way way too complicated to implement and the author considers success to be a baby sleeping 5 hours at night. I like her compassionate thoughts towards babies, but they just were totally impractical for me with twins. I finally let my twins cry it out. It worked in one night -- unlike this book's 10 night plan which you have to do over and over until it works according to the book.
