Summary: A Good Night's Sleep
Review: I am a single parent and, I confess, had been co-sleeping with my little boy until he was three. At first it was convenient and cozy. But as he got older, I just got tired of never having a good night's sleep. What I love about this book is that it accepts the reality of co-sleeping for so many families, never made me feel bad about my 'decision' (actually I just fell into it) and gave my simple, clear strategies to teach my child how to go to sleep on his own. And guess what? They work! Now we both get a good's night sleep. Lots of other problems are discussed in short, simple sections, so I know I'll keep this book around just in case we run into any other snags...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: WORKS!
Review: I bought this book out of desperation. My 4 month old was up all night long. I read it in one sitting and decided to try it. I only took parts of it and actually put it into use. BUT with the parts I used, my baby slept through the night after only 4 nights. And NO crying it out, she may have fussed a few times, but no crying. Now, my little one is 9 months old and sleeps from 8pm to 8am. AND when she rubs her eyes during the day all I have to do is lay her down for her nap. She puts herself to sleep!!

I do think that alot of the concepts used would be better off used for kids under 1. That's in my humble opinion - but I can't imagine it helping with kids who already have a fairly set pattern of sleep. This is great for setting a standard for sleep in little ones. (again, in my humble opinion)

I LOVE this book - it saved my sanity!

Summary: Waste of money
Review: I found this book to be just a rehash of what I've read elsewhere. If you are looking for answers, try Health Sleep Habits, Happy Child, this book actually helped me with my baby.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not recommended!!!
Review: I purchased this book because at first glance it appeared to be divided into different age levels with advice for each. Not the case, for some ages there was advice and for others there was information about typical behavior for that age level but it didn't say how to use that information. It is not a helpful book for anyone who is looking to help their child develop good sleep habits.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Nothing new
Review: I was hoping this book would help us all get a better nights sleep, but it's the same old "cry it out" method we've all heard about. Not our style.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Saved our Sanity
Review: My husband was referred to this book by someone he works with, when our son was two months old. We both read and followed its advice. Within a couple of days our son was sleeping through the night and still is at one year. Loved it. Would highly recommend

Summary: This is the one
Review: There are so many books out there now for parents, especially about sleep. I never would have known which one to pick -who has time for more than one?- if one of my co-workers hadn't told me to check out the Brazelton Way. Well, she was right. This book is only about a hundred pages long, it fits in your pocket, and it's written so clearly you can zip right through it. I love my kids, but I'd rather be with them than spending a lot of time reading about them. I know many parents who feel the same way, especially single parents like me. It's tough raising a child alone, especially for a guy, because everyone is second guessing you and making you feel like you're never going to figure out how to take care of a kid. These little books, though, have really made me feel like I know what I'm doing. I love the way they steer me back to trusting my own gut, and at the same time give me so much useful advice. I bought this sleep book because my four-year-old was waking up with nightmares every night. He was so scared of having another one that he started refusing to go to bed. I couldn't deal with that because I have to get my sleep too. But this book gave me a few simple tips and all I had to do was try them out a few times and my little boy settled down - no more nightmares.

This books is definitely the one. I highly recommend it to any parent who wants to be sure they're doing everything they can do to raise happy, healthy kids.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: All I needed to know
Review: This is a great little book - short, easy to use, not overwhelming. Yet I've found all the answers to my questions in it, simply and clearly explained. I especially like the section with all the suggestions on how to handle problems. I'm done with struggling over bedtime with my 3 year old. This book has shown me what to do and given me the confidence to do it.
