5.0 out of 5 stars The Baby Sleep Book: How to Help Your Baby to Sleep and Have a Restful Night, 7 May 2007
By D. James - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this book after an exhausting 4 months of caring for my new baby. I tried a few routines - anything to get a bit of sleep! However my baby adamantly refused to do any of them and happily stayed up all day and woke every 2 hours at night!!!!

As soon as I opened this book - I was reassured that I wasn't doing anything wrong and it explained why babies have difficulty in settling into 'experts' routtines. It gently showed how me to undertand my baby and act on her cues. Also - it focused on breastfeeding and sleep which other books don't. The majority of breastfed babies aren't happy to feed 4 hourly. The authors have 8 of their own children and many years experience as paediatric health care workers.

I think other baby routine books I have read are damaging as is so difficult to get your baby to fit into their constricting regimes and you can feel a failure when day after day of trying to adhere to their guidelines - your baby still won't do it! I have found this book invaluable - and am a much more happy and relaxed mum because of this book. My baby is also sleeping so much better too!!!! A MUST buy for any new parent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Marvellous, 5 Feb 2009
By Ms. Roisin O. Farrington (Edinburgh, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book was great. Before we read it (and Elizabeth Pantley's No cry sleep solution) our baby son was only going to sleep if lying on one of us (and this usually wasn't happening until 9 or 10pm) and then we would find it difficult to lie him down. No, we usually get him off to sleep about 7pm. He lies in his cot while we read 3 or 4 books then he falls asleep.

2.0 out of 5 stars When you're desperate for sleep you'll try anything!, 9 Jun 2009
I was at my wits end trying to solve sleep problems with my son and bought almost every book amazon had. This is slightly different from other books as it doesn't really suggest a technique, it really seems to say just do what you have to. To the extent one case study liked the fact that he still has to stay on the floor while his sons (5 & 7) went to sleep and he used the time to catch up on reading books with a miners light. Not what I wanted to hear at all. It was good a making you feel less guilty for singing/rocking your baby to sleep but no tangiable suggestions for helping your child to sleep on their own in their room.
