I love this book...

I read a lot...too much probably on baby stuff, anyway. I read several books about helping babies sleep. I appreciated Dr. Weissbluth's so much--he just tells you how sleep works. It's non-judgemental and he's not pushing a parenting-style agenda (most other books I read about sleep clearly did)....just helpful tips whatever your style is. My little guy wasn't napping at all, and just some of the suggestions he had have let to my 6-month old (4 months adjusted age--was a preemie) to 11 hours at night and 3 naps during the day of 1 to 2 hours. Now, the night sleeping he's been doing for a while, but getting the naps worked out and helping have a more pleasant baby during the day we can thank Weissbluth for. A great read for first-time parents especially!

It actually works

This is a great book to understand why your baby is fussy. This book has some very good recommendations on how to help your baby sleep better and there is more than one way to do it. There are several strategies and you pick and choose which will work for your baby. I follow the 2-hour window rule and it worked like a charm. My son sleeps 12 hours at night and naps 3 times during the day for 1-2 hours. This book has really helped me sleep train my son.

Every New Mom should have this!!!

This book was a God-Send! Our son was only sleeping 10 hours maximum a day. He was fussy and irritable in the morning when he woke up. We did not realize how much sleep a baby needed. He is now sleeping 12 hours at night and taking 2 naps during the day. He is a very happy little boy and eager to go to bed at night. He wakes up happier and the fussiness has gone away. Dr. Weissbluth has excellent examples and stories shared by other parents. A MUST READ FOR ANYONE WITH A NEW LITTLE ONE!! GREAT GIFT IDEA FOR NEW PARENTS! DR. W covers other topics also that I wish I new 11 months ago!! READ IT, IT WORKS!

A Must Have fro New Parents

As a first time mother, I had no idea what to do about sleep and naps.
My Pediatrician told me that the childs naps were really for me (but why was the child so tired and cranky?). After reading this book, we followed it to the letter, and everything the Dr. said was right. We now have 2 very well rested daughters. I give this book to every new mom I know. If they follow it, they thank me. If they don't, they call me and want to know why their kid isn't sleeping. My 5 year old and 3.5 year old STILL go to bed at 6:30 pm and sleep until 7. You really owe it to your child to get them the rest they need to develop and grow into smart little peolple.

The Sleep Bible

I highly recommend this book even for mothers who will not let their child CIO (cry it out) like myself, because is it chock full of research and information which is goads better than the other alternatives. Furthermore, it had some REALLY handy tips and information as to how important sleep is for your child and charts and figures on exactly how much sleep you should be expecting out of your baby, toddler, and even teenager (also handy are figures on how much sleep most parents are ACTUALLY getting out of their babies and kids). Weissbluth's famed "two-hour rule" is mouthed by mothers everywhere -- make sure your young infant doesn't stay away for longer than two hours -- or they're wired. For those mothers who do believe in his method of letting your child cry it out, there are plenty of anecdotes that are sympathetic and helpful in encouraging them. My complaint though is that this book is sort of poorly written (i.e. written by a doctor, and not a writer) and organized all over the place. I would love to see a revised edition with a professional writer and editor to streamline and reorganize all the information inside. It's a BIG book and it's hard to get to the practical heart of the information sometimes (especially when you're sleep deprived).
