1.0 out of 5 stars helping your child sleep through the night, December 7, 1999

By	Janet "hamilton570" (Portland,OR) - See all my reviews

I bought this book based on the other customer comments. It is not the book for me and my four month old. This book has not been updated since 1985 and recommends that the safest position for baby to sleep is on their stomachs! It also discourages co-sleeping or baby sleeping in the same room with you. The authors start "the program" at about 5 -7 weeks; which in my short experience is too early to get your little angel on any kind of "stretching" schedule. If you read Dr. Sears or Penelope Leach, you probably won't like this book either.

1.0 out of 5 stars Huge Disappointment, April 12, 1999

By A Customer

We bought this book to help us with a three month old who's got some bad sleeping habits (probably because of us!) I was expecting some solid answers to our baby's sleeping problems and was instead presented with a book full of wordy rhetoric and philosphophies, and NO hard answers or tips for babies who are MORE than a few days/weeks old.

The book categorizes by age group "birth to 4 months", etc. making it difficult for us to follow guidelines that according to the book should have been established from day one. If first time parents KNEW they were going to have sleep problems with their newborns that would continue for months, they would find this book useful. For those of us without that foresight, this book leaves you cold.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for babies and toddlers, January 31, 2001

By A Customer

I bought this book based on my pediatriton's reccommendation. First I used it to get my 2 yr old to put himself to sleep, and then I followed the simple instructions to get my baby sleeping through the night by 10 weeks. I have already reccommended it to three of my friends. This book is the only one you'll need for kids from birth through five!
