A breakthrough approach for a good night's sleep--with no tears

There are two schools of thought for encouraging babies to sleep through the night: the hotly debated Ferber technique of letting the baby cry it out, or the grin-and-bear-it solution of getting up from dusk to dawn as often as necessary. If you don't believe in letting your baby cry it out, but desperately want to sleep, there is now a third option, presented in Elizabeth Pantley's sanity-saving book The No-Cry Sleep Solution.

Pantley's successful solution has been tested and proven effective by scores of mothers and their babies from across the United States, Canada, and Europe. Based on her research, Pantley's guide provides you with effective strategies to overcoming naptime and nighttime problems. The No-Cry Sleep Solution offers clearly explained, step-by-step ideas that steer your little ones toward a good night's sleep--all with no crying.

Tips from The No-Cry Sleep Solution: Uncover the stumbling blocks that prevent baby from sleeping through the night Determine--and work with--baby's biological sleep rhythms Create a customized, step-by-step plan to get baby to sleep through the night Use the Persistent Gentle Removal System to teach baby to fall asleep without breast-feeding, bottlefeeding, or using a pacifier

Synopsis:

Sleep is one of the most-discussed topics among new parents - because they don't get enough. Elizabeth Pantley has devised a programme for helping babies sleep through the night without having to cry it out.

Synopsis:

"At long last, I've found a book that I can hand to weary parents with the confidence that they can learn to help their baby sleep through the night--without the baby crying it out."--William Sears, M.D., Author of "The Baby Book." Illustrations.

Two babies, and two attempts to follow Pantley's method. When my first baby was about seven months old, I became desperate to try any alternative to the Cry-It-Out method. I did not want to give up co-sleeping with my daughter, but no one was actually sleeping. I was attracted to the gentle and gradual approach in this book that I hoped would meet her needs as much as ours. It was not the "solution" for us. Although some of the ideas and techniques were helpful, we did not find the magical combination of techniques and timings and locations that might have worked eventually; after a couple months we found success with crying it out in a crib in a separate room and she's continued to be a great sleeper since. Now I have a four month old son and I am hoping that starting earlier with this book will save us those hardest months of tears and sleep deprivation, and I am beginning to see some positive results! The 'Pantley's Gentle Removal Plan' is effective, despite the goofy name and tendency to make simple things into a belabored process. I am hopeful for the next stages. I recommend reading this book when baby is a newborn for some insightful ideas about infant sleep and tips that can be incorporated into any family's sleep routines.

The solutions in this book are impractical when applied. The author details methodology used on her children. If the results are proven there would be no need to publish the same book for toddlers.
