 Written on July 18, 2008 Summary: Great sleep book! Great book for any parent. It helped me get my 8 week old on a schedule in just one week. A must buy! Written on July 10, 2008 Summary: Necessary advice and instruction. Weisbluth is a little "wordy." However, if you cut through that, the advice is sound and firm...and it works. It just makes sense that as parents we must know what's best for our child. It's up to us to set the schedules and make the decisions. Following old adages like, "he'll let you know what he's tired" is foolish. You wouldn't let your child decide that he didn't need to eat. It's just as dangerous to have inadequate sleep as it is to have improper nourishment. We all should remember that we're the parents, and they're just children. They need us.  Written on July 6, 2008 Summary: Confusing and hard to follow if you don't have enough time This book offers some good facts about baby sleeping, but as a new parent with limited time, I wish I could have a firm plan that I can try it out. I found this book difficult to follow and confusing for the most part. I wish I had enough time to sit down and read it all and then digest it for another month, and then make out a plan for my baby. In this book, there is no plan or whatsoever, just basic facts and endless warnings. This is not a step by step program to me, this is a pediatrician's notebook on baby sleep. If you do some research or have to take part in a test on baby sleep, this is the right book. Written on July 6, 2008 Summary: Take it with a grain of salt - it's a guide, not an instruction manual. These kind of books invariably attract passionate reviews from both ends of the spectrum. Attatchment parenters and readers of Sears and Pantley (I have both authors, more than one book from each in my bookshelf) or those who read Gina Ford (I have hers too) and let them 'cry it out' (oh the shame). Generally crying it out or controlled crying are only resorted to if you start reading any of the books, no matter whose side you're on, too late to learn how to instill good sleep habits to start with. Many of us are attachment parenters who have found that their child needs a little more routine and a lot of help with their sleep than having a strict attachment parenting style can offer. Sometimes hard decisions need to be made for the wellbeing of the whole household not just the child. Yes, parenting is an all-day and all-night job, however if both baby and you are exhausted and cranky then maybe you need some help. I found that Dr W (I am typing this with baby no 3 napping in my arms) 'appears' to support co-sleeping but on reading the book feel he perhaps doesn't; but this doesn't bother me as I got a lot out of the book anyway. I have 3 children who have been 'guided' by this book, the oldest being 3.5 years the youngest being 3 months (and she still sleeps with me, yes in my bed, at night) and they all sleep (bar one feed from my youngest) from 6/6:30pm to 6:30/7am sometimes even 7:30 if all the stars are in alignment ;). So take the reviews with a grain of salt, and read the book for what it is - a guide, not an instruction manual on the 'correct' style of parenting. You'll get a lot out of it. Written on July 5, 2008 Summary: Best baby book ever I am a pediatrician who just had my first child. I did not know about this book until friends suggested it when my child was about 3months old and wouldn't nap well in his crib. I found the book to be extremely helpful and useful. It totally changed our lives, and we have an extremely good sleeper now. Our child loves his crib and was sleeping through the night with good daytime naps by 4 months. We have since given this book as gifts to all our friends having babies, and everyone says the book it is great. It is a must have for new parents. Very easy to read as well. |
