I've read several sleep training books and this is by far the best one. It's method is simple and yet very effective. My son now naps regularly and sleeps pretty much throughout the night. The best part is that it works the minute start.
The read is slightly dry, but nothing too dull.
However if you want a zero cry sleep solution, this may not be for you. The best thing I can pull from the book is if your timing is right; there is no crying (for both baby and mum!).
I highly recommend this book to anyone who has a new baby and wants some regularity in their lives. My son's naps are now consistent throughout the day and he is a very happy three month old little boy!

I bought this book after trying a few different options when my first son was 8 months old and refused to sleep...After two nights following this book he was sleeping 10-12 hours, and now at 3 he is still an awesome sleeper. His 7 month old sister sleeps 12-14 hours a night because we followed this book. I am so thankful and recommend it to everyone I know.

This book has alot of scientific facts that help understand how good naps and night sleep are important for a baby. Give tips for different age of babies and child. If you dont have time to read the whole book, you can go directly to your babie's age.
I would recommend it.

Most sleep books are anecdotal and not research based. Dr. Weissbluth explains why children need sleep, and what norms are appropriate, and why it shouldn't be negotiable - similar to proper food habits and the use of carseats. Contrary to some posts, he doesn't say you have to let them cry it out, he explains different methods of sleep training and why extinction crying is the easiest. I believe he also notes that about 10% of children are outside of the norms of sleep and may not follow his schedule.
We have referred to this time and again when it was time to "retrain" our girls after interrupted sleep patterns. The trick with this or any other book, is it use it with common sense and adjust your approach as it fits your child.
