If you're having sleep problems, buy this book!:

I was having horrible sleeping issues with my 8 month old daughter when I bought this. We were up almost every 1-2 hours at night and then waking at 5am. I was so frustrated and tired I could barely think straight!! I bought this book, and read through it as quick as I could - started implementing his ideas immediately.

Useful even for a 2 1/2 year old:

My 2 1/2 year old has been an odd sleeper almost since he was born. I tried various methods to get him to a more consistent sleep schedule, but nothing really worked. Finally I really, really read through this book. Now I understand better why he sleeps the way he does--and when to put him in bed for sleep. I also know what to do if he doesn't nap during the day.
The book itself is long and difficult to get through, especially if *you* aren't getting enough sleep. But it is still well worth the effort.... more info
