Frustrated because baby doesn't sleep at night? With the help of Dr. Stuart Tomares, a pediatric sleep specialist, you can have your baby sleeping well in about a week. In this 24-minute video, Dr. Tomares outlines three major causes of sleep disturbances in infants: lack of a sleep ritual, poor sleep associations, and inconsistent parental response. After defining each of these three areas, Dr. Tomares offers several examples of good sleep rituals and sleep associations, and defines appropriate parental response. Video clips of parents with their children provide helpful visual examples.

Dr. Tomares outlines five specific stages of achieving good sleep: creating good sleep associations, a bedtime routine, a transition period, crying, and "the plan." Much emphasis is given to these stages being learned processes, to the concept of incremental comforting, and to the distressing yet necessary stage of letting your child cry. Most impressive is Dr. Tomares's suggested day-by-day, minute-by-minute timetables for comforting a baby who cries at bedtime. Especially reassuring is the "sleep talk" segment in which Dr. Tomares hosts a question-and-answer session with concerned parents and answers many frequently asked questions.

This is a wonderfully detailed plan for getting your baby to sleep well. With a 95 percent success rate, this tape is sure to help junior slip into dreamland so you can get some rest, too. --Tami Horiuchi

5.0 out of 5 stars Your Baby Can Sleep: The Practical, Proven Method for Solvin, April 7, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Your Baby Can Sleep: The Practical, Proven Method for Solving your Baby's Sleep Problems [VHS] (VHS Tape)

We have tried everything. Our baby is 8.5 months. I felt like the video explained everything, naps, pacifiers, vacations. We tried the method on Sunday and by Tuesday she was sleeping through the night.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing results!, March 2, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Your Baby Can Sleep: The Practical, Proven Method for Solving your Baby's Sleep Problems [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Another mother recommended this video to help us get our 5 1/2-month old son to sleep through the night. It worked for their son in three nights, so we figured we would give it a try. What amazing results! I won't lie the first night was difficult and I was dreading the second night, but to our surprise our son slept through that second night. And he has slept through the night every night since. He goes to bed about 8:30pm every night and sleeps until about 6:30 am. On two occasions he has woken up at 5:00am but was able to go back to sleep on his own within 5-10 minutes. We found the video very useful, full of information, and it answered most of our questions. It also explained things in such a way that we felt reassured we were doing the "right" thing even when our son was crying. The only difficulty we are having is getting our son's wake-up time to coordinate with ours. We like to sleep in until about 7:30 and he wakes up at 6:30, but honestly after getting a full nights sleep it's not that hard to get up at 6:30. I highly recommend this video and wish we would have found it earlier.

4.0 out of 5 stars Worth a try, January 11, 2000

I had serious doubts about trying this with our 6 month old daughter. I had been getting up 3 times a night with her and the doctor suggested letting her cry it out. I just couldn't do that so we decided to give this a try. In just a couple of night there was a huge improvement. I am amazed at how quickly we are seeing results. This is DEFINITELY worth trying.
