 2008-07-23 - We all feel better!
We started reading this when our daughter was 6 months. It has been very helpful. Now I know what to expect out of her sleeping schedule. I know how much she needs to sleep for her age, when to put her down for naps, and I have confidence when I have to leave her upset about being put down that I'm doing what's best for her. I now know how very important sleep is for a baby and feel better about the sacrifice it takes on my part. It's so much easier now that I'm not constantly questioning whether she's really tired or not. I can read the signs and the clock and I'm confident!
Note: It's pretty redundant when you read it cover to cover - I think you could easily skip around to the chapters you feel apply to your child.
 2008-07-18 - Don't waste your time!
It horrifies me to think that a new parent would take this Dr.'s advice! Much of what he advocates borders on neglect. I had to study this book as part of a degree program and threw it away as soon as I was finished. I hope that no child has to undergo his methods.
2008-07-18 - Great sleep book!
Great book for any parent. It helped me get my 8 week old on a schedule in just one week. A must buy!
2008-07-10 - Necessary advice and instruction.
Weisbluth is a little "wordy." However, if you cut through that, the advice is sound and firm...and it works. It just makes sense that as parents we must know what's best for our child. It's up to us to set the schedules and make the decisions. Following old adages like, "he'll let you know what he's tired" is foolish. You wouldn't let your child decide that he didn't need to eat. It's just as dangerous to have inadequate sleep as it is to have improper nourishment. We all should remember that we're the parents, and they're just children. They need us.
2008-07-06 - Confusing and hard to follow if you don't have enough time
This book offers some good facts about baby sleeping, but as a new parent with limited time, I wish I could have a firm plan that I can try it out. I found this book difficult to follow and confusing for the most part. I wish I had enough time to sit down and read it all and then digest it for another month, and then make out a plan for my baby. In this book, there is no plan or whatsoever, just basic facts and endless warnings. This is not a step by step program to me, this is a pediatrician's notebook on baby sleep. If you do some research or have to take part in a test on baby sleep, this is the right book.
