Rating  - Scare Tactics
I was given this book by a friend after months of exhausting sleep deprivation. I was pretty shocked by the introduction where she in a round about way tells you that letting your child cry it out will do psychological harm to them in the future. She takes a few quotes from some professionals to make you feel like you are a horrible parent if you let your child cry it out, and you will face future ramifications due to it. Are you kidding me here? How many parents do you know who let their children cry it out and they have wonderful, amazing children. This book should give you options to letting your child cry it out, not scare you into using the books tactics. I say shame on her for causing parents undo stress about decisions they make for their children, as if it isn't already hard enough. I would have read this book and used the tactics in it if I hadn't read the introduction that makes parents who let their children cry it out look evil. Furthermore, what are her credentials? She has 4 children? My sister has 6 and she let them all cry it out and you couldn't ask for better kids. So is she an expert too? I was just very disappointed in another book that attempts to convince parents that their way is the only way. Her son was sleeping with her until he was a year and a half. When she says have patience, she means it. That is just too long for an exhausted mother of a 6 month old.
Rating  - Pretty Helpful
I felt that this book was pretty helpful. What I got most out of it was that in order to get night time sleep results it's best to have a bed time routine established. Once we put our 4 month old little guy on a bed time routine he started going to bed between 7:30pm-8pm instead of 11:30pm-12:30am. Initially he continued to wake up every 3 hours, but after about a week he only woke up twice and after about two weeks he only woke up once. Now he's 5 1/2 months old and usually sleeps from 8pm to 5am, wakes up to eat and then goes back to sleep until 7am. It's made a huge difference in our quality of life! HOWEVER he's still a HORRIBLE napper. And that's why I can only give 4 out of 5 stars on the No Cry Sleep Solution. I didn't feel that her nap suggestions were helpful for us. He refuses to take naps and will only nap for 15 minutes in his crib by himself before he'll wake up crying. The only way I can get him to nap is to put him in a Kangaroo Sling and bounce on an exercise ball for the entire length of his 2 hour naps! So far I haven't read one sleep book that can help me with this problem!
Rating  - Awesome
I always new that it's not necessary to make your baby suffer in order to get him to sleep.
Amazing book, gentle aproach, lots of love to you little one. Simple yet effective.
I appreciate a lot this advice, but I think my baby is the one who thanks Elizabeth the most!
Rating - A compassionate wise approach
The way in which parents settle their babies is a primary channel for creating security and safety - the foundations for trust. Healthy development requires that deep trust be established in the course of the first months and years of development. Thank you Elizabeth Pantley for giving parents the tools they need to be able to help infants experience the love that parents hold in their hearts.
