Sleep: What Every Parent Needs to Know

This book is not very helpful. I purchased it because I thought I would get clear on what my action plan would be for my children's sleep but the author kind of dances around the points offer some insight but no clear plan. The author left too much to the imagination and too much to ponder but no clear direction so I don't recommend this book.

Fantastic book with practical advice that really works. Many parents will benefit from reading this book. Stress free night times and nap times are possible.o

Good book to learn how have my baby have a good sleep.

Im a Pediatrician and read it, it provided a lot of logical tips on helping children establish good sleep habits early.

Excellente book!! Fast delivery.

my baby sleeps fine, so didnt purchase to find solutions to a sleeping problem. rather, wanted to know more about how much sleep they need, the stages of sleep, do babies dream, how do you know when they are sleepy vs fussy because of something else, etc. there is some of that type of information, but more than anything the book repeats the same basic lines that you hear from your ped and all the old ladies in your family - don't cosleep, don't feed before sleep, cry-it-out based methods - basically the opposite of everything we are doing with our baby, who is sleeping, ironically (?) just fine.

My husband and I purchased this book following our pediatricians advice. I’m sure there is a lot of helpful information in it... if you have time to read cover to cover in one sitting. The book unfortunately seems to jump around a lot and for a sleep deprived parent, sometimes all you want to know is the quick to find advice for the stage your child is at. The book is also a very awkward size and has to be held with two hands, men with large hands may be okay. This is secondary but still a bit annoying when you don’t have two hands to spare- as is the case when you are a parent. Overall, I would do more research and pick a different book.

This book was recommended by our pediatrician as we are transitioning our 4 month old into a bedroom with our 3 year old. Not only did I come away with strategies that have helped us tremendously us during this stage, I was educated on the physiology of sleep ages newborn through adulthood. This is a must read for parents and should also be recommended to educators and caregivers in a variety of capacities.
