An answer for every sleep problem!

This book has been my sleep manual for my children since my oldest was an infant. We went from rocking our 9 month old to sleep and sneaking out of the room several times a night to having him fall asleep on his own and sleep better in just three days. My youngest child took just one day. The book is easy to read and doesn't require you too read it cover-to-cover. Just flip to the sections that apply to you, or read several chapters about the age of your child and common sleep problems. Highly recommend!
