Waking during naps?
We have found the suggestions in the book extremely helpful and highly recommend it to all (despite poor writing/organization). Our 7-week old is a much much happier camper because of this book!
However, we did not find an answer to our remaining... more

Definitely worked for my son!
I was skeptical when someone gave me this book for a baby shower gift. After my son was born, I was exhausted with him waking up every two hours in the night. I started applying the techniques in this book when he w as 6 weeks old. I don't know if this... more

Good Advice, yet know your baby's needs
I found hte advice in this book useful, and I also feel that parents need to understand the individual needs of their child. Children, like all adults, do have a natural clock. Some are early risers, and some are not. It's great to put your child on a... more

Don't waste your money if your problem is with napping
I have read a few sleep books and this one was the least useful. Dr Weissbluth seems to have only one answer to all infants' sleeping problems: put your baby to bed earlier and then ignore him or her for the rest of the night. His early chapters made... more

It worked for me!!!
I know that some reviewers found Dr. Weissbluth's methodology somewhat inflexible, but like all advice books, I read it with a grain of salt and adapted it to my son's personality. My son did not like taking his naps and often went to bed around 9 p.m.... more

I adore this book!
I cannot say enough about this book.....However, I'll start by telling you my story.

From the very first day that my daughter came home from the hospital she did not want to sleep anywhere except with me. I was told by many that I should... more

A definite book to have!
When I was in the hospital delivering my first child, my OBGYN said "I want to give you 2 pieces of advice. First - let the nursery take care of your baby at night so you can rest. And Second, go buy this book (naming this book). It's got a lot of great... more

Valuable information but hard to get through
I bought this book while pregnant and read much of it during my now 10-month-old son's first months. I found it to be terribly difficult to wade through largely because the writing style is weak. I sense that Dr. Weissbluth, in his more recent edition,... more

read this book -- real expertise without an agenda!!
This is such a wonderful book. I have read it multiple times and have purchased it for so many friends. I have followed Dr. W's advice with both of my daugthers -- one is now 28 months old, the other 8 months old. They both sleep so well. They take... more

Thank you Dr. Weissbluth!!!!!!!
My baby was a horrible sleeper. He actually woke up every hour and a half for eight monthes! I felt like the living dead! I tried letting him "cry it out" (which was agonizing) as well as , "The No Cry Sleep Solution" (which seemed to make everything... more

Great book, my son is a wonderful sleeper.
I got this book as a gift while still pregnant. I followed it to a tee. My son is now almost 3 and is the best sleeper! He will sometimes tell ME it is time for him to go to bed! The one thing is that I was a stay-at-home mom, so I don't know how... more

Amazing!!
This book was my bible when my son was born and I have recommended it to many other new parents. I have received so many calls from friends thanking me for recommending this book. My son is 2 years old now and I am still using it. It makes sense and... more

Mother of two healthy, happy sleepers
My Pediatrician recommended this book when my son was only 10 days old. I immediately read it cover to cover and put everything I learned into practice. Between 6-8 weeks my son was sleeping through the night (7pm - 6am). He woke up at 6am for a feeding... more

We're all finally sleeping again.
First, let me say that I was really against the "cry it out" theory when my daughter was an infant. She slept with us when she was small, then graduated to the crib in her own room. Then, around 19-20 months of age, she learned how to climb out of the... more

Very helpful!
This book gave me ideas I never knew about as a new Mom. I was letting my 3 month old stay up all day thinking that she would sleep better at night..wrong! Ever since she has been taking her 3 naps, she has been sleeping better than ever. I don't agree... more

Weissbluth Offers Sage, Caring Advice
I found the information in this book to be very sound and doable as it is based on an entire career of research and experience as a clinician, pediatrician and well as a father of 4 children. Living in Chicago, I wish to share that Weissbluth has a long... more

Some utility, but poorly presented
Weissbluth has some valid information to convey based on his research and years of practice. However, the writing is so poor that it is very difficult to get the goods. Sentences are often long and ambiguous due to fuzzy modifiers. Several phrases like... more

conflicts galore
This is one of the most irritating books I've ever read. I was looking for some good, solid advice on what are healthy or unhealthy sleep habits, and what I got was a book full of contradictions. First he says that you should put your child to sleep... more

Great book for the soft hearted!
I loved this book. I cannot bear to hear my child cry so crying it out was not an option for us.

This book is a lifesaver. It's a quick read and also a great guide to refer back to if you forget some of the tips.

A must for... more

A must have regardless of parenting orientation
I think this book is a MUST for a parent regardless of whether or not you follow the cry-it-out approach, or attachment parenting approach. This FANTASTIC book presents scientific info as to the nature of an infant's sleep, as well as an invaluable schedule... more
