Product Description:
Right after 'Is it a boy or a girl?' and 'What's his/her name?,' the next question people invariably ask new parents is 'Are you getting any sleep?' Unfortunately, the answer is usually 'Not much.' In fact, studies show that approximately 25% of young children experience some type of sleep problem and, as any bleary-eyed parent will attest, it is one of the most difficult challenges of parenting.
Drawing on her ten years of experience in the assessment and treatment of common sleep problems in children, Dr. Jodi A. Mindell now provides tips and techniques, the answers to commonly asked questions, and case studies and quotes from parents who have successfully solved their children's sleep problems.
Unlike other books on the subject, Dr. Mindell also offers practical tips on bedtime, rather than middle-of-the-night-sleep training, and shows how all members of the family can cope with the stresses associated with teaching a child to sleep.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Great info & advice!
I'm not sure why people are saying the author of this book is cruel when she is totally not. Although she is not using the "no-cry" solution, she is not suggesting you to use a "cry-until-both-you-&-your-baby-drop" solution, and she is definitely not pointing a gun at your head and tell you to stick with her solution. I really think the author is trying her best to tell you to try her suggestion but PUT IN ANY MODIFICATION THAT SUITS YOUR SITUATION & EMOTION. Almost after every advice, she ... Read More
Rating: - A life saver!!!
This book has saved my life. My 4 month old daughter went from sleeping 6 hours straight at 2 months to waking up again throughout the night at 3 months. My husband and I were exhausted. She wouldn't go to sleep on her own and after rocking her and nursing her for what seemed like forever, she would then wake up every hour or two throughout the entire night until we would give up and put her in bed with us. She wouldn't nap either unless in the car or swing. When the motion stopped, she would ... Read More
Rating: - Use what works for you - think of this as one of many options
My disclaimer: This book worked for us - but it wasn't the first we tried - and it wouldn't have been the last if I hadn't figured out which of the recommendations I needed to switch up to make it work for us. Everyone's different - don't let anyone (except your pediatrician) tell you what you choose to do is wrong. It truly is and should be a family decision so that during the roughest moments you have the support you need to hold firm to your plans. 4am is a tough moment to try to be strong - but ... Read More
Rating: - It has worked for all three children
If you don't have the guts to let your baby cry some, don't bother. But if you are ready to be the parent and lovingly teach them good sleep habits, then this is the book for you. Though it has been years since I read this book, I have used the methods with all three of my kids, and they are all great sleepers, even my stubborn youngest child. Just like with everything else in our children's lives, we, the parents have to teach them good habits, even sleep habits! I understand some parents are against ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent, Common-Sense Solution to Sleep Problems
I love this book. It's perfect for parents who can tolerate some crying. It's highly effective, highly practical and allows you to comfort your child when you feel it's necessary...this book rocks.
