Another excellent book by Mrs. Pantley.
I used some of these techniques for my daughter again, especially with the "I don't want to nap" age..

Excellent book!!!

Speaking as a sleep deprived parent, this book requires you to be patient about results which could take a couple of months to acheive, which is not realistic when you're already at the end of your rope. After reading the whole book I probably only pulled 1 or 2 useful pieces of information out of it. It also doesn't take into account different temperaments in babies. It was a waste of precious time.

The author makes several suggestions on improving sleep in toddlers and takes into account different parenting styles. This is not the typical book which offers one solution for children to sleep, which is most often the "cry in out "method.
Highly recommended for parents who have a long term perspective on the importance of sleep for themsleves and especially for their toddler. Excellent for mothers dedicated to extended breastfeeding.

I just bought this book for my 21 month old breastfeeding son, after hearing about Pantley's first book for infants. Because I support extended breastfeeding, I co-sleep with my son, as is typical with moms who breastfeed over a year. However....it became obvious to me that I needed to try some other sleep routine so I wouldn't always have to nurse him to bed, and this book helped me create one. This is a must for every parent who is compassionate about sleep time routines, who understands the intricacies of toddler sleep patterns, and who wants to gently and lovingly create a sleep time routine that benefits a breastfeeding toddler and mom.
