Informational

This is a great book to read to have a good basic knowledge on children's patterns of sleeping and should be used as a "guideline" to what to expect from your infant/toddler/preschooler sleeping needs as they progress.

Most Reassuring Sleep Book Ever!

This book is by far the best sleep-help book out there, and I feel like I have tried them all. It reassures you that your situation is totally normal and reminds you that your baby is just a little thing with a "tiny tummy" that does need to be filled every few hours in the beginning. I wish I had this book when my first born (now 2) was an infant. I wouldn't have stressed out so much. It also provides helpful advice about how to get your baby to sleep for longer and longer periods of time, until they are finally "sleeping through the night" (even tho I learned that this definition is pretty loose). I want my baby to sleep through MY night, not hers! This book rocks.

A practical book with real solutions

You're tired. The baby isn't sleeping properly and you need help NOW! That's why this book is great, because it gives you ideas you can try today, implement right now. And if the first idea doesn't work, there's often another one, too, sometimes a whole list of ideas. I like the fact that this book talks to real mothers about real sleep problems and gives real, practical solutions. Ann Douglas writes like your older sister or best friend would talk to you, gently and with humour.

The Mother of all sleep books!

The first sleep book you should read and maybe the last. This book not only covers how to get your children to have a good night sleep, it includes ideas to help Mothers also. Sleep Solutions is well researched and covers all the popular methods for sleep teaching. It does not advocate one method over another and encourages you to find what works for your family. The resources at the back of the book are also excellent.

Sleep Doula Approved

Finally the Sleep Bible for all exhausted parents. This is amazing book with sleep solutions for all parents. As a doula who works with families with sleep problems, I encourage all my clients to buy a copy. It is great that it talks about all the options avaliable and ther benefits and drawbacks. The stories and tips from parents were fantastic and inspiring. The book is easy to get through and can be read cover to cover or based strictly on your needs. This is a very parent friendly book with non-judgemental support during such a critical and crazy time. I give it 5 stars and the Sleep Doula Seal of Approval.
