Book Reviews of The No-Cry Sleep Solution: Gentle Ways to Help Your Baby Sleep Through the Night
Book Review: A wonderful book
Summary: 5 Stars
Elizabeth Pantley offers salvation for all parents who are suffering with sleep disturbed nights. This book is so easy to read and gives many helpful ideas to help settle your child at night. My daughter was waking every 2hours and always had to be rocked or fed to get her to sleep, not any more and now she sleeps for over 12 hours at night. It may sound too good to be true but I believe everyone will find strategies to help get their child to sleep at night. I really cannot recommend it enough!Book Review: Love sleep? Love your child? You'll love this book
Summary: 5 Stars
A refreshing alternative to the "quick fix" and damaging cry-it-out approaches that have been so popular of late. This is the first book I've read (and believe me, I've read a shelfload in the effort to get some shuteye) that works *with* a baby's natural and necessary tendencies instead of against them. Pantley offers real-life solutions, with real-life feedback from real-life moms. She acknowledges the uniqueness of all babies as well as the patterns that are typical to most, and offers a menu of possible things to try. This is the book for the informed parent who wants to know *why* her baby is having trouble sleeping, wants to know how to help her without damaging the parental/child bond, knows there are no ultra-fast magic methods -- and won't fall for the checkout-lane "get your baby to sleep in five easy (cruel and heart-wrenching) steps." This is important stuff and can't be dealt with in 50 pages...so it's well worth your time to read the parts of the book that are relevant to your situation. Highly recommended...by a (now) well rested family!Book Review: If you want to get some sleep in the first year read this!
Summary: 5 Stars
I would recommend this book to anyone who cherishes their child enough to not want them to have to "cry it out". That barbarian method of parenting is outdated and not nessessary. I read this book when I first brought my son home from the hospital and now at 4 months of age we have literally NO sleeping problems!I am the envy of all my friends and my son has never had to feel the horror of screaming for me and being left alone!!I love Elizabeth Pantley and my next child male or female will be named after her!Book Review: SLEEP!!! WONDERFUL SLEEP!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are looking for some sleep, BUY IT NOW!!! This book puts your baby's needs first, unlike the 'Cry it out' method. But, it also recognizes that Mommy needs rest too and tells you how to acheive that rest while still tending to the needs of your precious baby. No crying required (for Mommy or Baby)!!! This book is the best thing I've come across. Like so many other Mothers, my baby was still waking all night long. In fact, my baby was waking every hour on the hour! And, he had to be nursed to/back to sleep for each and every nap and all night long. I don't have to tell you how tiring this was.
I did so much research and only saw 2 ways to deal with it, 'Cry it Out' and 'Live with it'. Well, that is untill some great mothers over at the Babycenter message boards recommended that I try this book. So, I gave it a shot. It was the best 11 bucks I have ever spent in my life!!!
Christopher is now sleeping from 8:30 pm until around 2:30 am! He goes to sleep at 6:30 pm and wakes for a 'milkie' at 8:30 pm. Then, he is out until 2:30 am!!! I know he wakes and settles himself several times during that 6 hour stretch. After the 2:30 am feeding, he is normally out till around 6:30 am!!!
Christopher is also sleeping in his crib now, which is beside my bed. I have only been using this sleep plan for 10 days and look at the success. The success started on the 3rd night. I started seeing him be able to sleep longer and longer. And, now he is even able, sometimes, to fall alseep on his own!
Elizabeth Pantley is a God send! She has children of her own (4) and has actually used these techniques on her own baby. This book is the top of my list for a gift for any new Mom. I wish someone would have told me of this book 7 months ago.
Thank you Elizabeth! You have changed my life!
Book Review: Read it, it worked for us!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the only book that actually worked. I couldn't get anywhere with the controlled crying methods recommended by so many books and friends. Our 14 month old hadn't slept through the night since he started teething at 8 months. We were desperate. I read this book and stuck to the methods rigidly and it worked. The method is thorough. It does take a little time but the reward of uninterrupted sleep is heaven.
