Changed my life! I like being a parent now! Nov 17, 2009 with my first child I absolutely didn't believe in sleep training. I co-slept with him, responded to every cry, and believed that I was parenting in the best and natural way. This worked well for the first 6 months, but after that he started to wake up a lot! By 9 months he was waking over 10 times a night. I read 5 "no-cry" style sleep books and followed them carefully to no avail. Finally around 2 I got him sleeping in his own bed at 2 years, but still at 4 years old he doesn't consistently sleep through the night. With my second child I vowed to do things differently seeing as the co-sleeping had not promoted bonding, but only resentment and over-tired grouchiness in both of us. I purchased this book and followed the recommended plan and let my baby cry it out at 6 months using the methods described in this book. I can honestly say I have a happy child with healthy sleep habits thanks to this book! He goes to sleep without a peep and even seems to look forward to his naps and bedtime. He sleeps through the night and wakes up refreshed and ready for play. There are many aspects of the attachment parenting style that worked great for me such as babywearing and extended breastfeeding, but I'm a much happier mom with a much happier family for ditching the co-sleeping and following this book instead. I can't recommend it enough.
Holds true Nov 16, 2009 I bought this book shortly after my oldest daughter was born and we were exhausted. Dr. Weissenbluth really does a great job at explaining the sleep habit of infants and toddlers and certainly helped me become more calm about letting my baby sleep. Some things need to be taken with a grain of salt but other than that he really nailed it on alot of points. I now have 3 children, youngest who is 6 months, and I still refer to this book.
Healthy Sleep Habits Healthy Child Nov 12, 2009 I borrowed this book from my brother and found it to be so helpful that I wanted my own copy for future reference as my daughter grows older. I noticed a difference within the first day of following the suggestions in the book. My daughter started sleeping 12 hours at night with 3 daily naps by the time she was 10 weeks old. Throughout her growth the naps have adjusted accordingly just as the book says and now that she is almost two she is still sleeping 12 hours at night with one 1.5 hour nap during the day. I would definitely recommend this book to a friend and have done so already.
Sleeping baby! Nov 08, 2009 Great book, offers many different helpful hints to get your baby to sleep. Our daughter was rather fussy and fighting sleep, however after following a few simple steps she is sleeping soundly for 5-6 hours a night at 5 weeks old, thanks!

This book had some useful info but made me a bit mad Nov 03, 2009 First, I would like to say this book did have a lot of useful information and I would actually recommend that everyone read it for that. It does go into a good example of a schedule for a baby and why a baby needs that schedule to great detail. It also has good information on signs your baby is tired or ready for sleep.
What I severly dislike about the book:
1. It bashes other books and sleep methods. This is completely unnecessary.
2. Not all babies are the same and this book advocates the cry-it-out method for all babies, including stating that if you don't do this your child will have sleep difficulties for the rest of their lives. There is obviously much proof otherwise and there are quite a few other ways to teach your child to self-soothe.
3. It states reasons parents wouldn't want to let there child cry it out which are mostly not true, mainly that a parent wouldn't want to do this because they feel "guilty" for being away from the baby during the day. This is complete crap. Maybe that's true for some parents but not for a majority.
4. The book is very long and not put together in a logical, easy to read way. You have to continuously turn to other sections of the book to try to make sense of it.
