Rating  - At last someone knows how!
Great buy! This book was written by someone who has experienced sleepless night and knows what she is talking about. This is not some doctor behind a desk writing a book. This is a mother. I dont believe in crying it out. I feel its inhumane,however each to their own.The book is easy to understand and there are step by step instructions including a log sheet to see the sleeping improve.I am still in the process of following this book but I really enjoyed reading it.I have many many baby sleeping books. I actually think I have most of the sleeping books and if I knew about this book earlier,I would not have wasted so much money on all the others. If there is a baby sleeping book out there to buy....This is it!
Rating - Best suggestions for big-hearted mothers
I'm not a mother who could let my daughter cry. Everyone told me my sleep problems were a result of "giving in to easily." Then I found this wonderful book. Finally, someone who understands the ache in a mother's heart when her baby is crying. This book will not dissappoint. You have to work at it, but isn't that what being a parent is all about?
My daughter is now sleeping almost through the night. I'm a happier mother and that makes everyone happy.
Rating - The Book's Title Says It All!
We did the Ferber method of sleep training with my son when he was 5 months old, and it worked very well at that age. He was a great sleeper and napper from that point until at 8 months old when he got a cold/stuffy nose that hung around for 2 weeks - during which time he couldn't sleep well and in order for him to be able to breathe through his nose at all, we had to hold him upright against our chests, so that's what we did for him to fall asleep for naps and at bedtime. After the cold finally went away and we attempted to go back to our old routine of laying him down (sleepy but awake) to sleep, he would start crying, and was by then able to pull himself up to standing, which made the whole process much worse.
After a few days of attempting to retrain with the Ferber method, I decided it wasn't worth it. Even though I knew the Ferber method would probably work again eventually, all I could think was: how many days of misery would it take, and then what would happen the next time he got sick or we traveled? I definitely did not want to go through the stress and guilt of hearing him cry if we would have to retrain with the Ferber method each time something like that happened.
So, I decided to read the No Cry Sleep Solution. She gives many good pointers for helping your baby to fall asleep as well as to sleep longer, both at naps and at bedtime/through the night. We were already employing the majority of her ideas, but I did get new information that I feel is sound advice. The best evidence is that my son will now allow us to lay him down for naps and at bedtime as he's sleepy, but falls asleep on his own, with no crying. I admit this approach requires more patience and time initially, but in my opinion it was totally worth it to avoid the days of crying! I would suggest reading this book to any parent interested in learning good techniques for helping their baby to sleep well. I initially checked this out through the library but intend to buy one to have on hand for future reference with our next child(ren)!
Rating  - Pantley's removal method turned my son into a BITER!
Pros
-This book was easy to read and relate to.
-May introduce some new ideas
-May be a good book to read before you start reading Ferber.
-Better reference for Nursing moms.
Cons
- Most things discussed in this book most people already know.
- Her gental removal plan turned my great nurser into a biter. He would start to dose and I would remove the nipple. After a few times he would jerk himself awake and bite down because he was affraid I would take it away!
- Doesn't really go into changes in schedules and traveling that well.
Overall the one thing I did get from this book, was to improve his naps and this would improve his night time sleep. I ended up doing a more gentle Cry it out method and it has turned my 8 time-a-night waker into 1 time and with only 15 mins of crying MAX.
