Editorial Review: Product Description: Americas favorite pediatric experts turn their attention to the hottest topic in parentingsolving babies sleep problemsin a definitive book that offers immediate results. For every parent whos ever been deprived of sleep by a restless infant or toddler, now theres hope. This much-needed addition to the Sears Parenting Library is the comprehensive, reassuring, solution-filled sleep resource that virtually every American family will want to own. Nighttime separation anxiety, new breastfeeding habits, and an increase in adult sleep problems have made babies sleep habits a growing concern in recent years. The Searses offer solutions. Instead of espousing the kind of one-method-fits-all approach advocated in other parenting books, the Searses teach parents how to match the nighttime temperament of their baby to their own lifestyle. The authors draw on important new infant sleep research from the Mother-Baby Sleep Laboratory at the University of Notre Dame, as well as on their own personal experience as parents of children with a wide range of sleep habits. They also offer a detailed critique of the myriad new devices and ballyhooed techniques that promise to deliver safer and better infant sleep. THE BABY SLEEP BOOK provides parents with the practical tools they need to help the entire family sleep better. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great bookGreat tips that don't stress out Mom or Baby like sleep trainers. Dr Sears is a lifesaver for Attachment Parenting families Rating: - Love it!I didn't know much about AP before reading this and always thought AP stuff was some weird, hard-core parenting lifestyle. After reading, I realized it's a super mellow, natural, effective approach (not set of rules at all) to raising your babies. I was pretty much already doing AP and didn't know it. Especially if you have had trouble with any CIO training, read this book and feel better! PLUS, pages 210-213 include recaps on scientific studies that have proven harmful effects of excessive ... Read More Rating: - So gratefulI feel fortunate to have found this book. As a mom who is expecting her second child, I had followed my instinct with my first child - who was not the best sleeper. I felt bad hearing and seeing others have such an easy time. At the same time, I second guessed myself thinking maybe I went about things in the wrong way. Reading this gives me more tools, resources and confidence to go with my instincts. Rating: - A Great Sleeping ToolThank you Dr. Sears! My son and I (and husband too) are all sleeping better. I took his advice and started napping with my son (he has plenty of other suggestions, but this was most fitting for us). It took awhile, but he now naps on his own and doesn't wake up at 30 minutes like he used to. I miss my naps a little, so we still co-nap on occassion...but now I can do laundry, dishes, email, etc. while he sleeps if I want to. YAY! My husband read the section on co-sleeping and decided it was something we should ... Read More Rating:  - On the Fence...I have very mixed feelings about this book, especially since I have had it for about a year, am 25 weeks pregnant with #2, and have a 19 month old who STILL wakes up multiple times per night. Since Emma came home from the hospital, she was pretty clear that she was going to be difficult about sleep, so it was easy for me, naive and worried about EVERYTHING, to fall into Dr. Sears AP approach to nighttime parenting. I took on the sole responsiblity of parenting her to sleep b/c I honestly believed I was ... Read More |
