I'm so thankful for this book!!!

This book is a great solution to sleepless nights. I luckily found it when my baby girl was only 3 weeks old, so getting her into a routine was a bit easier, but I've stuck with it for the past month and she is only waking up 2 times a night and just to be fed and happily goes back to sleep in her crib! Its wonderful! I think every parent (new or otherwise) should at least try these techniques! I also used the techniques with "heartbeat" rhythm music when she first goes to sleep at night, but only when she isn't going to sleep as easy. Hope this helps all the exhausted parents out there!

I recommend trying cry-it-out before buying this book. You just may find that you solve your baby's sleep problem without spending any money or using precious time to read this book.

I have a 6-month-old son and a couple of weeks ago I was nearing my wit's end when it came to putting him down to sleep. In order to get him to sleep, my husband or I had to hold him while bouncing on an exercise ball. Once he fell asleep in our arms, we had to carefully lower him into the crib without waking him up. If he woke up, we had to pick him up and repeat the process of bouncing and getting him into the crib. We tried the cry-it-out method at 3 months and 4 months but it didn't work. He cried for upwards of 90 minutes and never fell asleep.

I bought this book the day he turned 6 months thinking I might be able to pick up a couple of tips I hadn't seen online. I did not read the book cover to cover - just flipped through and read things that caught my eye. It turns out that we were already doing many of the things suggested in the book: we had a bedtime routine, we played music, he had an early bedtime. It just didn't seem that we were making any progress at getting him to go to sleep on his own. Even if I had read the book cover-to-cover and implemented every suggestion, I don't think it would have helped us get away from the bouncing and holding him until he fell asleep. Fortunately for us, my son had his 6 month check up with the pediatrician just 2 days after I bought the book. We brought up the sleep issue with her and she said to get rid of the ball and just put him in the crib and let him cry (with us checking in frequently, of course). We implemented the new sleep process that day and he's been going to sleep on his own for about 10 days now. I'm so glad that we tried the cry-it-out method and solved the sleep problem in days, rather than trying suggestions from this book and dragging it out for months if not longer. And now that I think about it...we were already doing a no-cry method of getting him to sleep - it just involved us holding and bouncing him. What incentive did he have to start going to sleep on his own?

Great book!

This book gave me some great suggestions and reinforced some things I was already doing. Personally, I find the cry it out method to be mean, so I was looking for another solution. If you feel the same way, get this book. It will help and has many suggestions depending on what's right for your family.

A breakthrough approach that offers hope to exhausted parents looking for gentle ways to help their baby sleep without the heart-wrenching tears. Until now the only two ways to deal with sleepless nights were to let your baby cry herself to sleep or to become a sleep-deprived martyr and tough it out from dusk until dawn. The No-Cry Sleep Solution will show you how it is entirely possible and within your grasp to help your baby fall asleep peacefully--and stay asleep all night long.
