 Rating: - Works WellReally made baby & us happier! We're a bit flexible from time to time for special outings, etc., but the schedule is pretty consistent. Rating:  - Worked great for our familyMy boys are now 12 and 15 so I read this book some time ago, however it was one of the best things I have ever done for them. This book gives great insight on the value of sleep and how childrens' sleep cycles work. My kids know the importance of sleep (even though they don't realize it!)and we have never had any of the nighttime/bedtime problems that one often hears about. It is hard to hear your child cry?

That said, this book should only be read by people with excellent mental filtering abilities. I ignored much of the dialogue regarding the ADHD implications, etc. Many I have spoken with, including my husband felt the book contradicted itself "never wake a sleeping baby" "wake baby ... Read More Rating: - great advice, bad editingThis is our first baby, so I don't know if we are lucky or if adequate sleep has made him perfect! He is either smiling and laughing, exploring or sitting in quiet contemplation. But, this book is confusing because it was poorly edited. My advice is to stick with it and revisit it frequently until the basic points make an impression. The biggest problem with this book and philosophy is that once you buy into it, it is unbearable to see over tired children in public. Seeing tired babies out with their parents ... Read More |
