We're all sleeping through the night!

My daughter was not one of those babies who just magically started sleeping through the night at a couple months old, but when she was 10 months old she started sleeping for eleven hours a night without needing us to go to her, and we never made her "cry it out." In addition, she takes two, one-and-a-half hour naps each day. How did we get from our sleepless nights to where we are today? We used Elizabeth Pantley's book, The No Cry Sleep Solution. We were never comfortable leaving our daughter alone to cry herself to sleep, and we found this book to be a great, loving alternative to the sleep training methods out there. My daughter is breastfed and did spend time co-sleeping with us, but she now sleeps the entire night in her room without waking to nurse.

Pantley's book is well-organized, and in addition to her supportive, encouraging tone, she offers solutions that you can start trying right away. Her book is not a quick fix, but rather it provides the tools necessary to nighttime parent your child with love. You *can* start seeing results right away.

I know that my daughter will not be a baby forever, and she will not always need us to make her feel loved and secure. Right now, however, she does need us, and we wanted to offer her comfort and reassurance while still teaching her to sleep on her own. Our family is now rested, and my husband and I are proud that we were responsive to our daughter's needs. Buy this book; you are sure to find solutions that will apply to your baby's sleep problems. We will be purchasing Pantley's other books because we believe in her methods!

No-cry HELP for babies & their parents!

The Pantley No Cry Sleep Solution has been a GREAT sleep help companion for us ever since we bought it for baby #1. The support and encouragement in this book gave my husband and I the stradegies we needed to stick to our gut resolve to NOT ignore our child when he was crying at night! Now that we have 4 children, we have 2 copies of this MUST-HAVE sleep resource. One to refer to whenever a new strategy was needed for our latest child . . . and another to loan out to friends and family when they were sleep deprived and desparate for immediate help! They say ANY sleep-solution will help if you follow it and use consistancy. But THIS is the one that freed my hubby and I to help our child w/o compromising our instinctive need continue to be there when our children need us in the night.

Good luck to you!
Blessings,

This approach sounds nice but you may regain your sanity quicker if you try a cry-it-out method first

I recommend trying cry-it-out before buying this book. You just may find that you solve your baby's sleep problem without spending any money or using precious time to read this book.

I have a 6-month-old son and a couple of weeks ago I was nearing my wit's end when it came to putting him down to sleep. In order to get him to sleep, my husband or I had to hold him while bouncing on an exercise ball. Once he fell asleep in our arms, we had to carefully lower him into the crib without waking him up. If he woke up, we had to pick him up and repeat the process of bouncing and getting him into the crib. We tried the cry-it-out method at 3 months and 4 months but it didn't work. He cried for upwards of 90 minutes and never fell asleep.

I bought this book the day he turned 6 months thinking I might be able to pick up a couple of tips I hadn't seen online. I did not read the book cover to cover - just flipped through and read things that caught my eye. It turns out that we were already doing many of the things suggested in the book: we had a bedtime routine, we played music, he had an early bedtime. It just didn't seem that we were making any progress at getting him to go to sleep on his own. Even if I had read the book cover-to-cover and implemented every suggestion, I don't think it would have helped us get away from the bouncing and holding him until he fell asleep. Fortunately for us, my son had his 6 month check up with the pediatrician just 2 days after I bought the book. We brought up the sleep issue with her and she said to get rid of the ball and just put him in the crib and let him cry (with us checking in frequently, of course). We implemented the new sleep process that day and he's been going to sleep on his own for about 10 days now. I'm so glad that we tried the cry-it-out method and solved the sleep problem in days, rather than trying suggestions from this book and dragging it out for months if not longer. And now that I think about it...we were already doing a no-cry method of getting him to sleep - it just involved us holding and bouncing him. What incentive did he have to start going to sleep on his own?
