Professional Review:

Two experts who are helping Hollywood's A-list babies get their zzz's share the no-fail, family-friendly method that has helped thousands of sleep-deprived moms and dads.

Even Hollywood's biggest stars face the same dilemma as other parents do: "How do I get my child to sleep?" As parents in the know are finding, whether they're on the red carpet or the soccer field, the answer is the same: The Sleepeasy Solution.

Psychotherapists and sleep specialists Jennifer and Jill, the dynamic "girlfriends" all of Hollywood calls on to solve Junior's sleep problems, have perfected their sleep technique that will get any child snoozing in no time—most often in fewer than three nights. The key to their method? It addresses the emotional needs of both the parent and child (yes, how to handle the crying!)—a critical component of why most other sleep methods fail.

In this much-needed, family-friendly guide, weary parents will learn to define their own individual sleep goals, those that work for their family’s schedule and style. They'll create a customized "sleep planner" to ensure consistency with both parents as well as extended caregivers. (As an added bonus, they'll even improve the readers' relationships with their spouses with the "marriage-saver" section.) With comprehensive sections devoted to each stage of Baby's and Toddler's development, plus solutions to special circumstances like traveling, daylight saving's time, moving to a "big kid bed" and multiples, The Sleepeasy Solution is a dream come true!

"This approach was truly amazing in helping our family to thrive. . . . We are eternally grateful!"
—Ben Stiller and wife, Christine Taylor, actors

"With their gentle approach, Sleepeasy gave us the tools we needed to solve our daughter's sleep problems."
—Conan O'Brien, host of NBC's Late Night with Conan O'Brien

"Sleepeasy gave us all the tools we needed to get our baby sleeping through the night. Now when we say good night to our daughter, we know it really will be a good night."
—Greg Kinnear, actor

   Summary: Some great ideas!
I ordered this book out of pure desperation over my 4 month old would not sleep and had to be constantly held, rocked, nursed (we did it all!) to fall asleep. What I have taken from this book: My son now takes 3-4 naps a day that last about an hour. The length should improve as he gets older. The first night was the hardest but after crying for 30 minutes (with several check ins) he fell asleep. Ever since he has been able to fall asleep when I put him down with very little fuss or none at all. It's been less than two weeks since I started the program but I have seen great improvement! I now also have
a set schedule of bathing, pjs and nursing before I put my baby down at 7pm every night. It's wonderful because it really frees up my evening.

Unfortunately my baby still wakes up 3-4 times a night and doesn't sleep longer than 3 hours straight. The book recommends weaning night feedings by eliminating the length of the feeding by two minutes each night. I tried it for a few days but was too exhausted (and couldn't stand hearing my baby cry!) so I stopped. I will make an attempt to wean one feed at a time in a few months when I feel my baby is able to go through the night without eating. Honestly, I would be happy with at least 6 hours of straight sleep, let alone 12!

It is the first baby book that I purchased and I'm glad I did. It is still a CIO method though but I have adjusted that to our needs and feel comfortable with letting my baby "fuss" when I want him to go back to sleep or fall asleep.

I will update soon with progress. Good luck sleepy parents!

   Summary: The only sleep book you need
This book is fantastic (and I've read ALL of them out there). The suggestions are great and work like a charm. We are finally getting some sleep!

   Summary: If you stop and think about, it all makes sense!
My 3 month old has never napped by himself, since day one he would wake up if you put him down. So this was a vicious cycle that just continued on for months, getting worse. He would only nap if he rocked, and then he would only sometimes stay asleep for 30 minutes. This book is the "gentle" cry it out method. Simple as that. There are a few basic ideas that they set you up with (darkening the room, white noise machine), but the program consists of putting your child down for sleep, if he/she fusses check in on them in 5 minutes, talk to them (don't touch them) and then leave the room. If they are still fussing within 10 minutes, do the same thing. THIS PROGRAM IS VERY DO-ABLE! I struggled emotionally with letting my son cry, but I know, after 6 days, he is falling asleep on his own within 10 minutes and sleeping for at least 40 minutes at the minimum.

   Summary: Sleep Problems Solved!
This book solved our 5 month old baby's napping problems. Until we read this book, we could not get our baby to take naps of more than 20 to 30 minutes. She slept fairly well at night with one feeding at around 3 a.m., but she simply was not getting enough total sleep. This book helped tremendously by teaching us WHEN to put the baby down for sleep. It did take some crying, but I truly believe it was okay, because the baby now likes going in for naps and going to bed. She goes to bed at night without a peep, and she only mildly protests for a few mintues before her naps. Her naps now last 1-2 hours and she takes at least 2 per day. Sometimes she even goes down for naps without so much as a whimper. She is now getting all the sleep she needs -- 11 hours per night with no breaks, and 2-3 hours per day of napping. What a relief! The doctor will be happy and we are definitely happy at home. The baby is peacefully napping as I write this review.

   Summary: This book changed our lives!
At about nine months of age my daughter was still waking up crying 2-3 times during the night. My husband would go upstairs and "binky" her, and she would fall back to sleep. Not the worst of scenarios, but our sleep (as well as hers) was disrupted. After reading this book we learned a few things that we weren't doing, such as having a bedtime routine (in the room where she would be sleeping) and putting our daughter in her crib awake. It took us a couple of nights of a tiny bit of crying, but she hasn't needed to be "binky'd" since! She is able to fall asleep on her own, soothe herself back to sleep during the night, and has been sleeping 11-12 hours straight ever since. She will be two next month! I also recommend "The Happiest Baby on the Block" for babies 0-3 months.
