 A real gem! July 18, 2008

My friends are amazed that I can walk into the room of my sleeping 7 month old and put up his clothes and he never wakes up. This is because we set him up on the right foundation from the beginning. Every mom and dad should read this book and realize the potential that even a 6-7 week old baby has regarding there sleep habits.
This is now the only gift that I give to mom's at baby showers and if anyone ever ask for any ideas on sleepy I refer them to this book. Thank you Mrs. Pantley for sharing such wonderful tips and ideas and making me realize that I am doing the best possible job that I can. BZ of AL
 Good grief they're talking about my baby! July 16, 2008

Well, there's a good chance that you can find portions that relate to your baby too. I'm actually reading this book at the 4 month point... almost 2 months after I started to systematically and logically come to many of the same conclusions as this author (and of course borrowing ideas from other books that I've read). I'm not sure if I would have understood her many practical points just by reading them but they are certainly dead on when compared with my months of studious logging, suspicions, and experiments. Unless you have the time to hide out in a cabin with your baby and spouse for almost two months as I did, you may never be sufficiently isolated from social commitments to see the patterns that the author describes succinctly. With the holidays upon us and the baby's needs evolving, this book is a good source of reminders on how to stay focused on the baby and her needs -- which will in turn keep the whole family happy!
Try this before the "cry it out method", it may be the one for you! July 15, 2008

I have a 6 month old daughter that has never slept more than 1.5 hours at anytime and never on her own. She had terrible acid reflux that went undiagnosed until she was 3 months old and the Dr's kept telling me she was "colicky". Laying down pained her so I did what any compassionate parent does, I walked her to sleep and held her for naps and at night she slept on her side curled up into me so she could nurse as it was the only thing that soothed her (she won't take a paci). She wakes up 5-8 times each night and can't soothe herself, so nurses, sometimes waking up for 1 hour or more. After 6 long months of this, I am back to work and need my sleep more than ever, so at my Dr's advice (and multiple other peoples), I bought Dr. Ferber's book. I was not comfortable having my little girl cry and was not comfortable with the system and happen to run accross this book. I figured it could not hurt to try and last resort, I may need to let her "cry it out". Parents in the same situation: PLEASE TRY THIS FIRST, IT WORKED FOR US IMMEDIATELY!!
I cringe thinking that I would have set her in her crib and just left her to cry when all I had to do is lay her in 1/2 asleep (usually she wakes up and cries for us to pick her up) and talk to her in a soothing voice while touching, kissing and reassuring her. It took her 45 minutes to fall asleep and when she finally did, each time she woke up, she was able to soothe herself as she fell asleep there. She still woke up 3 times between 8-7pm to eat, but this was the FIRST night! I know it sounds so common sense, but what this book gave us was confidence to stick to the plan and take baby steps. I know we have a long road ahead of us, but this was MAJOR progress for our little one - remember, she had NEVER let us put her in her crib and with these little changes and a new mindframe, it worked! PLEASE try this method first and if it doesn't work for you, move on to the next. We as parents love our children and all of them are different, so yes it may or may not work, but it is a GREAT place to start!
Good book... July 14, 2008

This book is a much more gentle way to have your baby get on a sleep schedule at night. I didn't want my son to "cry it out" and this book offered suggestions and methods to avoid just that. It is realistic (doesn't promise your 4-month old will sleep 12 hours straight) and helpful.
Excellent book! and quite easily implemented July 1, 2008

I highly recommend this book! Not only for the amazing tips Elizabeth Pantley provides, but for the encouragement & affirmation she also gives!
I implemented her program only three days ago, which by the way is very flexible to your own child's needs, and I am already seeing results! My 8mo. old took a two hour nap this morning!! I know things may vary, but going from to 15 minutes here, and 15 minutes there, I am truly thankful!!
With this book you will no longer beat yourself up or wonder if you are doing things "the right way." She so lovingly encourages you every step. She also provides an extremely helpful nap & night time logs. Along with the logs she includes a step-by-step plan of attack, if you will, for how you will progress in the program!
There were answers for everything: how to transition your baby from a family bed to their own bed. This was something I wondered about for months - and her ideas are so basic, so thoughtful, and simple!
I also love the pictures that are shown in the book. She used "test mommies" when writing this book, and throughout her book she uses their quotes or pictures as an almost guide to help one read through. I found the quotes extremely encouraging!
I can go on and on about this book! If you are thinking about this book it is because you are as sleep deprived as I was - THIS BOOK WILL HELP YOU!!
