Read this book before you let your baby "cry it out."

I've been co-sleeping with my four month old since she was born. I've had some beautiful moments sharing sleep with my baby. I recently started back at work though, and as my baby has gotten older and more active, she has been waking up more at night and it has become much more difficult to get enough sleep to function at both my job and at home as a mom.

This book is wonderful and has made this transition much more smooth for my family. The plan Pantley suggests is somewhat labor-intensive, but on the fourth night, my baby is sleeping on her own in her cradle. She also fell asleep on her own tonight for the first time. And no tears. Seriously. My baby hasn't cried once in these four nights. And I'm able to sit and write this review rather than feel tied down with my baby in my arms stuck in front of the tv. I finally get to have some alone time in the evenings again.

You don't have to let your baby cry it out in a crib on her own while you cry down the hall. You really don't. It won't make your baby or you stronger. People will try to tell you that is the only method that works, but they are wrong. Pantley's method will work if you commit to it and keep a log and create a plan and follow it. You really have to commit to it and follow your plan. That's really the key with any plan, but if you want to learn a method to gently help your baby learn to sleep on her own without causing a great deal of trauma for her and you, this book will provide that for you.

Love it!

This is the best book on sleep I have ever read. She is very very thorough in her explanations on sleep and the methods of helping your baby get to sleep, and she knows what works through her own experiences and the experiences of her own clients. This is a great book for helping learn the skills to help our children sleep and to have positive experiences going to sleep (w/ bedtime routines and so forth). She explains why crying it out is not a desirable method of helping your child sleep. And again, she knows what she's talking about! She knows the sleep is important, but she also realizes each child is different. And that is so comforting! I have tried her methods and they work. I don't believe any method is full-proof or perfect or that anything works every time for every child, but I've had overall good experience w/ the methods in this book. And I believe if you follow the suggestions, you can see great success in your child's sleep habits (and be on your way to a good night's rest yourself!)

Avoid cry-it-out

Our four-month-old started waking 3, 4, and more times at night until we reached a high of 8. Each time I had to nurse him back to sleep. I did not want to have him cry-it-out if at all possible, and this book showed how to gently break the cycle. After about a week of using the techniques, we were back down to 2 night wakings. The process includes babies sleeping in a crib in a separate room, like our son. I would give 5-stars, but it did NOT help us with naptime sleeping solutions; unfortunately then we did have to have him cry-it-out.
