Average Rating: 
Rating:  - THIS BOOK WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!
This book was a real life saver for our family. After reading this book I have come to learn that babies don't know how to sleep and it is up to us as parents to help them learn. It is NOT INHUMANE! You will give your child the best gift ever with good sleep habits that will last a lifetime. As proof, I have a 4yo son that still naps EVERYDAY for two hours and is still in bed by 8pm. My 18 month son naps for 3 hours everyday, in bed at 7pm and sleeps soundly until 7am. I would never have figured this out without this book. DO NOT DELAY...purchase now!
Rating: - THE BEST BABY SLEEP BOOK ON THE MARKET
This was an excellent book - I cannot tell you how much this book helped our sleepless, colicky infant. But, several friends with non-colicky babies actually recommended this for any infant. This book is a wonderful middle ground for those parents who do not want a severe schedule (BABYWISE) or the opposite end of the spectrum, attachment parenting (Dr. Sears). It was the only book that I found that spoke knowledgeably about colic, and gave the only helpful advice available on the subject (believe me, we tried it all). It is not a cry-it-out book, although some may look at it in that light. What it teaches you is this: 1. watch your child. 2. put him/her down to sleep when you first see the signs of tiredness 3. most children under 6 months do not stay awake for longer than 2-3 hours at a time without needing a nap. 4. DO NOT just put your child down to nap when you feel like it - that's just letting him/her cry, not TEACHING them to sleep. 5. Most children need to go to sleep at night earlier than you'd think. 6. Going to bed earlier promotes later sleeping (weird, but true. As the author says, it's not logical. It's biological - sleep promotes sleep) There's a lot more too. I really like that the author's data is based on studies that he has done involving the patterns of children who naturally sleep and nap well. No, it didn't give us a perfect baby. We happen to have a very sensitive high strung girlie, who also power-naps. But we went from a cranky post-colicky baby who took no naps or 15-20min naps and got up many times per night to a sweet smiling girl who now takes 3 45min-1 hour naps per day and sleeps from 6pm-7am (waking 2 times to nurse). Oh yes. The nursing. She used to think that nursing was the only way to get to sleep. After diligently following the advice in this book, she now can get to sleep on her own, no nursing. Not that it's perfect - she still cries 5-15 minutes at times before naps. But she is sooooooo much happier now. Gotta think something's working.
Rating: - Life-Saver for Parents of Twins
This is an excellent book that really taught me a lot about the importance of sleep for a baby. I'm convinced that helping your child learn how to sleep will have LONG-LASTING, positive implications. It taught us how to establish a morning nap and then an afternoon nap (and how IMPORTANT they are). We learned that our babies were not colicky (Thank God!). We now can pick up on their cues when they're getting tired and get them down to sleep, BEFORE they're overtired and cranky. Our 16-week old, boy/girl twins started sleeping through the night at 10 weeks. We applied Weisbluth's principles (as well as Ezzo's BabyWise) and what a difference it has made. Our twins are well-rested, happy, above average in height & weight, and a true joy to our lives. Much of the book is technical in describing sleep (I liked this part, my wife was bored), but the rest is very practical and useful. We made the mistake of letting our son get addicted to sucking on a pacifier to fall asleep. All was well until he got his first cold and couldn't breathe through his nose. He was miserable all night! My wife & I finally resolved to take the pacifier away from him when he's in his crib. He did cry for 1 hour the first night, but the next night, he slept through the night for the first time! He sleeps so much better now and really is a happy baby. Our daughter has been an "easy" baby from the start and has never had any problems sleeping. (It's very interesting having twins and seeing how different they really are!) Try this book. Read others such as Ferber and Baby Wise. Combine together what makes sense to you and you'll have happy, well-rested babies!
