 "The No-Cry Sleep Solution." by Elizabeth Pantley.
Foreword by William Sears.
Sleep-or more accurately, the lack of sleep-is one of the most challenging aspects of parenting during the first year or two of a baby's life. The biggest hurdle is getting the baby to sleep through the night. Parents who are sensitive to their baby's needs are reluctant to try any technique that requires that they let their baby cry, so they often struggle through a fog of sleeplessness. This "nighttime-martyr parenting" often leads to frustration and resentment, resulting in unnecessary feelings of guilt and obscuring a family's joy over the new arrival. At a time when new parents should be enjoying the process of getting to know their baby, this lack of sleep leaves parents doubting themselves.
I've always thought that it would be wonderful to have a menu of ideas that parents could try until they hit upon a magic antidote to help their baby sleep all night. Elizabeth Pantley has created just such a menu in The No-Cry Sleep Solution.
The beauty of this book is that parents can create their very own sleep plan based on their baby's makeup as well as their own. Parents can choose from a variety of sensible, sensitive solutions that respect both baby and parent, striking a balance between a baby's nighttime requirements and the parents' very real need for a full night's sleep. The ideas are firmly rooted in the concept that the early years are the time to help your child develop a healthy sleep attitude-one that regards sleep as a pleasant, peaceful, necessary state that's not to be feared.
Elizabeth Pantley, an experienced mother of four, clearly understands where you sit today, having sat there herself on occasion. She's created a book that is clear, easy to read, and uncomplicated.
