Practical advice, based on research I appreciated the fact that much of what Weissbluth writes he backs up with research from sleep studies, unlike a lot of parenting books, which don't use actual studies to back up their claims. I wish I had read his advice on developing a nap-time soothing routine and nighttime sleep routine and being consistent--I could have avoided a lot of crying. After the christmas holidays, my three-month-old was only able to sleep while being held. He couldn't even sleep in his car seat--he would just wail and... more info
Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child After following the steps set out by Dr. Weissbluth, my daughter began sleeping 12 hours through the night (without a peep) at 9 months!!

Hard to believe, but true. Oh - not to mention that he's in bed by 7:00 pm at the very latest every single night and sleeps without waking until 6:30 or 7:00 am each morning. This was no accident - I began reading this book shortly before his birth and was absolutely convinced of the importance of sleep to his growth and... more info
