- Dr. Weissbluth is the best
Dr. Weissbluth saved my life!After 9 months of my son not sleeping, I thought I was going to lose my mind.Dr. Weissbluth's advice got him sleeping through the night almost immediately and pretty painlessly.I had tried everything else, and had read every sleep book, but nothing else worked.It's the combination of things that Dr. Weissbluth suggests that works.I highly recommend this book!
Rating: - AMAZING
I felt compelled to write a review about this book...It literally changed the way that I think about sleep. My son was always a good sleeper, and we were very blessed that he started sleeping through the night (9 hours or more!) at just over 2 months of age. That lasted until about 3 months, when he started waking up again. Around that time, he also started fighting taking naps.

I read this book when my first son was 4 months old and found it an invaluable tool for training him to take good naps, sleep through the night, and follow a schedule suited to his needs.Now I'm re-reading it to help with my newborn and his sleep needs.I felt like the stress level in our home went down dramatically when we started implementing the ideas in this book.It is amazing!
I especially like how the author focuses on getting the child in rhythm with his natural sleep patterns. ... Read More
Rating: - Must have for all parents
This is the best book that I could recommend for anyone looking to have a happy rested child.The concepts are precise and easy to follow.The book is divided into easy to read chapters and can be used as a great resource for many years.I can not recommend it enough or give it enough praise.This is a MUST have.
Rating: - Great help!
I have found this book to be extremely helpful.There are lots of stories to help relate the advice and there are little bits of advice off to the side of pages that help for quick reading/skimming.The absolute best advice was not keeping your infant awake for more than 2 hours at a time.This has worked wonders for us as well as realizing how important an early bed time is.
This book gives practical advice and has proven to be correct in many instances with my first born.I also loved the charts ... Read More
