Product Description

For every parent who struggles with their baby's sleep (and for every parent who wishes their toddler had better sleep habits), finally a straightforward, all-natural solution to help baby get the sleep she needs—both through the night and during the day.

A sleep researcher with a Ph.D. in neuroscience, Dr. Polly Moore has created a simple, foolproof method based on the basic human rest and activity cycle (BRAC), which occurs every hour and a half. According to the BRAC, baby should go back for a nap a mere 90 minutes after waking up—that's right: 90 minutes.

The program is called N.A.P.S.—Note time when baby wakes up, Add 90 minutes, Play, feed, or pursue other activities, then, at the end of the 90 minutes, Soothe baby back to sleep. When baby wakes up again, whether after a short or a long nap, start the cycle over. And, although it sounds counterintuitive, frequent napping actually helps baby sleep through the night.

In a reassuring and accessible style, Dr. Moore explains how and why the program works; the benefits of napping—a happier, healthier baby with a headstart on cognitive development and emotional intelligence; how to implement it for babies at various ages, from two weeks to a year; and how to use it to solve common sleep programs, such as a baby's need to be held, baby waking up too early in the morning, baby getting a second wind before bedtime, baby confusing day and night, and more. The Wire-O-bound book includes a guided journal for recording baby's sleepy signals and sleep difficulties, a daily log for keeping track of baby's nap times, and space to note baby's milestones—all peppered with humorous, inspirational quotes.


From the Back Cover

Introducing a kinder, gentler, all-natural method to help your baby get the sleep he needs. Developed by Dr. Polly Moore, The 90-Minute Baby Sleep Program and its breakthrough N.A.P.S. plan work in conjunction with your baby's basic rest and activity cycle. The method is simple, foolproof, and yields long-lasting results: truly restful daytime naps and consistent nighttime sleep.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent guide on babies' sleep patterns , February 23, 2008
By Catherine Wilson (Arlington, VA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I must recommend this book for any new mother. I have a 3-year-old
and a 4-month-old baby. I wish I had know about sleep cycles with my first child.

This book emphasizes the alertness/drowsiness cycles that
babies experience in the first year. For mothers of babies who fuss a
lot, this book is your answer to getting them to sleep more and
scream less. You need to recognize your baby's sleepiness signals at the end of 90 minutes and help him to sleep then. Babies are usually unpredictable and cannot follow rigid schedules. This 90-minute concept is so simple that I'm amazed no one else has written about this.

This book is also the answer to any mother's question:
"When will my baby sleep through the night?" It has a wonderful
overview of babies' sleep patterns throughout the first year and teaches
what is normal for babies at different stages due to their neurological
changes.

There are other invaluable things: the book explains fussiness at dinnertime; it describes how crankiness is usually due to your baby not sleeping enough; it provides good advice on teaching your baby how to sleep on their own (at the right age).

I loved reading this book because it confirmed my opinions on babies and sleeping, and I learned valuable advice about the 90-minute cycle too!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Lifesaver!, December 3, 2008
By Eb (Wisconsin) - See all my reviews
I can't believe how lucky I am that my mother found this book while browsing the shelves at a local bookstore. I had just become a mother for the first time and my baby was NOT happy. She was always fussing, screaming, and crying. I had no idea what I was doing. She was tired, I was tired, but I didn't know how to help her sleep except to try to put her down when she appeared ready. Then, when my daughter was about 2 months old, my mom gave me this book. I read it and decided that although it sounded crazy, Ms. Moore is a sleep expert, I am obviously not, so why not give it a shot. I figured it couldn't get much worse at that point.

THE DAY I started using the N.A.P.S. plan my baby started to sleep better. As time progressed, things got better and better. Now, 7 months later, my baby rarely cries and putting her down for a nap or for bed is generally a pleasant experience.

The plan is simple. When your baby wakes up, start the clock. After about 80 minutes, start winding baby down for a nap. At the 90 minute mark, get her to bed! Don't worry if naps are short, just start the clock over as soon as baby gets up. Ninety minutes later, back to sleep!

My baby can now go for longer stretches between naps but is still most definitely on the 90 minute cycle. So, I have just added another 90 minutes between napping periods. She gets up at 7:30 and goes for a nap at 10:30 and so on.

Be aware this is not a book about sleep training. Look elsewhere for that if you need to. However, I've found that in using the plan in this book, we didn't really need to sleep train our daughter. At 7 months she sleeps close to 12 hours at night and we are able to lay her down awake, give her a kiss, and leave the room. No crying, screaming, or fussing.

I just wish I could give the book 10 stars!!

5.0 out of 5 stars It changed my life!, February 25, 2008
By Anne Shurl "Anne" (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews
Before reading this book my six month old took short naps and woke up frequently throughout the night. I thought she was just naturally fussy and a light sleeper. Now her naps are at least an hour long, and she sleeps six hours straight at night without waking up. My husband can't believe the difference in her disposition when he comes home from work. The book is short and to the point and gives sleep advice for children of all ages. The author offers advice as a professional and a mother. I have read three other sleep books and this was by far the best.
