Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Suzy Giordano, affectionately known as "The Baby Coach," shares her highly effective sleep-training method in this step-by-step guide to let both baby and parent enjoy long, peaceful nights. Full of common sense and specific tips, the Baby Coach's plan offers time- and family-tested techniques to help any baby up to the age of 18 months who has trouble sleeping through the night.

Originally developed for newborn multiples, this sleep-training method worked so well with twins and triplets that families with singletons and older babies began asking Suzy to share her recipe for success, resulting in: regular feeding times; 12 hours' sleep at night; three hours' sleep during the day; peace of mind for parent and baby; and less strain on parents-and their marriage. This edition includes a new chapter on implementing the program with babies up to 18 months.

About the Author
Suzy Giordano is a mother of five. She's worked with Washington, D.C., area families as a baby sleep specialist for ten years. Visit her website at Babycoach.net.

Lisa Abidin is the mother of twins. She has worked as a law clerk and prosecutor. Both live in Virginia.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book---worked wonders for my daughter's sleep routine, March 23, 2007
By RN (Chevy Chase, Md United States) - See all my reviews
I cannot praise this book enough. I started to use the methodology when my daughter was 4 months old and it took 2 weeks flat to get her to sleep through the night. The book explains everything very logically, but doesn't go into unnecessary detail, which is critical since which sleep-deprived parent has the time to read tomes? The method the author suggests is not unsafe as one reviewer was concerned about, ie the extending feedings 4 hrs apart, particularly by the time the baby is 3 months old. I double-checked it w/our pediatrician & he said it is perfectly fine, because a baby's stomach is big enough by that stage that they can drink more during each feeding. The author also recommends increasing the time between feedings in very small increments, ie can be as little as 10 min a day, so it's extremely gradual. You also don't HAVE to let the baby sleep the whole 12 hrs. I actually used the method to get her to sleep just 8hrs in a row, which still gets you a full night sleep. It's very easy to modify Giordano's suggestions to suit what you feel comfortable with. I know several moms in my playgroup who used this book & found it to be very effective.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!, May 6, 2007
I read this book when my son was 7 weeks old. A friend at work suggested it so I figured I'd give it a shot! We were doing well in the sleep department but not sleeping through the night. We started pumping (per the books recommendation [br]) and ensuring that he was getting his total ounces during the day (another br). We were sleeping from 9pm-7am by 9 weeks!! I liked the books other tips for helping the baby fall asleep on his own, etc.

4.0 out of 5 stars A simple, easy recipe for sleep success, January 27, 2007
I bought this book when my first child was born, and applied the concepts after she was 8 weeks old. By 14 weeks, she was sleeping 11-12 hours/night with 2 naps during the day. She wasn't miserable, and I certainly did not starve her. My second child was born last year, and I followed the same plan. She was sleeping 12 hours by 13 weeks - also with two naps during the day. For those who suggest this book is inhumane, the author expressly states that you should not begin sleep training your baby until they are 8 weeks old, and at least 10 pounds AND consuming at least 24 ounces of formula or breastmilk in 24 hours. I will admit that I had better success when I bottle fed my children (I used expressed breastmilk) rather than nursed. You can determine how many ounces your baby is consuming more easily when bottle feeding vs. nursing.

You will achieve sleep success more easily if you are fairly regimented about training, and remain regimented until a schedule is well-established.

So for those reviewers who think that you are supposed to starve your baby for 12 hours at night, you are mistaken. The author does not suggest that at all. For the first 8 weeks of life, the author states that you must feed on-demand. Each baby is different, and you'll need to modify the sleep training techniques for your child, but the overall concept does work, and my children are happy, pleasant and well-rested.
