Editorial Review:

DESCRIPTION: America's favorite pediatric experts turn their attention to the hottest topic in parenting--solving babies' sleep problems--in a definitive book that offers immediate results. For every parent who's ever been deprived of sleep by a restless infant or toddler, now there's hope. This much-needed addition to the Sears Parenting Library is the comprehensive, reassuring, solution-filled sleep resource that virtually every American family will want to own. Nighttime separation anxiety, new breastfeeding habits, and an increase in adult sleep problems have made babies' sleep habits a growing concern in recent years. The Searses offer solutions. Instead of espousing the kind of "one-method-fits-all" approach advocated in other parenting books, the Searses teach parents how to match the nighttime temperament of their baby to their own lifestyle. The authors draw on important new infant sleep research from the Mother-Baby Sleep Laboratory at the University of Notre Dame, as well as on their own personal experience as parents of children with a wide range of sleep habits. They also offer a detailed critique of the myriad new devices and ballyhooed techniques that promise to deliver safer and better infant sleep. THE BABY SLEEP BOOK provides parents with the practical tools they need to help the entire family sleep better.

So glad I found this book when I did!:

I have recommended this book to countless parents I have encountered in person and on the web. It is full of gentle, commonsense tips to getting a good night's sleep, as well as negotiating the "politics" of family sleep. All of the information is backed by science, and it makes a compelling argument against some of the more hard-core approaches--commonly called "sleep training"--which are variations on the old "cry-it-out" method. Do your baby - and your sanity - a favor and ignore the advice that runs... more info

Attachment parenting fan:

I have always been a fan of Dr. Sears. I was really excited to find his book on how to soothe your baby to sleep. Unfortunately, I haven't had the opportunity to read the book due to lack of time. I have two kids and at a age when they need my attention. I am sure I will love his advice because it coincides with mine about 99 % of the time.
I always recommend Dr. Sears books. However, only if you believe in Attachment parenting.

The Right Solution For Your Baby:

It helped me. This book understands that there is not one sleep solution and helps you find the right solution for your family. After trying and failing at other sleep methods, I bought this book. With the help and encouragement of this book, we figured out our son and we were able to help him learn to relax and go to sleep. Now he goes to bed very easily and stays there all night.

Great resource!:

This book provided a great review of how babies sleep and dispelled a lot of myths that I hear from family and friends. I learned and continue to apply what I've read into my life with my baby. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to do the best for their baby.
