Rating: - Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child
After following the steps set out by Dr. Weissbluth, my daughter began sleeping 12 hours through the night (without a peep) at 9 months!! She is now 2 years old and is still a great sleeper (she sleeps 2 hours at naptime, too). There is little to no drama at bedtime and if she does cry, it is for less than a couple minutes before she falls to sleep. My daughter is a happy, well-rested and congenial child, who is a joy to be around. Pretty amazing since I was at my wits end before I got this book ... Read More

Rating: - this book is child abuse
This book is one of the scariest thing i have ever read. A true book of horror.
This book misses the whole idea that children are children and should not be expected to act like adults act. I know adults that dont sleep through the night and forcing a child to sleep through the night is awful. Let the children vomit? Ignore them and clean them up after they are asleep?
We cannot treat prisoners of war this way, but somehow it is ok to treat our children this way? I dont see how any parent ... Read More

Rating: - Start Early
This book has produced a happy 15 month old who capable of telling you when he's ready for a nap or for bed. He will nod his head and say yes when asked if he is ready for "night-night". Hard to believe, but true. Oh - not to mention that he's in bed by 7:00 pm at the very latest every single night and sleeps without waking until 6:30 or 7:00 am each morning. This was no accident - I began reading this book shortly before his birth and was absolutely convinced of the importance of sleep to his growth ... Read More

Rating: - Finally, my baby sleeps!
For the first 5 months of life my baby only took 1 or 2 half-hour naps a day, and woke up often throughout the night. I was soooo exhausted and stressed. It took hours for her to fall asleep for naps, and both of us were miserable. I tried soothing, nursing, crying-it-out, and putting her in a swing, but nothing helped. I didn't realize that even though I thought I was responding to the first signs of tiredness (rubbing her eyes, etc), she was already too tired to fall asleep. Several ideas in this ... Read More
