Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Waste of MoneyThis book cannot make its mind up what method to endorse. It sits neatly on the fence, contradicting itself many , many times. Over all if you favour the" cry it out method" then this book is for you. Personally i dont think a hysterical child left to cry it out till he may vomit is the answer to your sleep problems. I would give Secrets of the Baby Whisperer ago first. Its a much better laid out methodical genteler way to parenting. Any busy parent ,single or otherwise who is no doubt stressed enough anyway would deserve a gold medal having to sit threw hours of a crying baby or child using the Feber method. If you are reading this and you have, hats off to you. Your a better person than i am!! Rating:  - authoratative, researched, non-judgemental, helpful!After becoming totally demoralised by the Baby Whisperer I was thrilled to find this book so informative, encouraging, well-researched and clearly outlined. Generally, Dr. Weissbluth does a good job of describing the science of sleep in laymom's terms and I clearly recognized my daughter in his descriptions of wired babies. Unlike other expert book writers, Weissbluth is a trained medical professional with decades of experience which gave me faith in his recommendations. His recommendations are also well supported with external research by leading child psychologists so again you are not relying solely on one person's opinion. Most importantly he's not judgemental or faddy about how you set about getting your baby to sleep. Read More: Rating: - research-based adviceThis has been the most helpful book I have read on the subject of child sleeping patterns and I wish I had read it before our baby was born, because as a previous reviewer has pointed out, there are issues with layout, repetition and consistency. One needs time to digest and understand the book and it can indeed be difficult to follow if one is already sleep deprived. For example, key recommendations highlighted in boxes on some pages, such as "Never wake a sleeping baby", are qualified in the body of the text (wake a sleeping baby if to let her sleep would interfere with that child's daily sleeping pattern): this can be initially confusing and we often had to read the same chapter a number of times in order to appreciate the subleties of the ... Read More: Rating: - The best sleep book I've readI really love this book, and I wish I had bought this before I wasted money on other ones. It does not offer any magical solutions or quick fixes. What it is is a comprehensive, well-written, and detailed study of all the elements of infant and child sleep, and what course of action could prevent or treat various sleep problems and disorders. Unlike authors of other sleep books, Dr Weissbluth is a child sleep expert, which in my opinion has to count for something. Of particular interest is the section about colic and sleep. This book is longer than most, but you can probably omit some chapters that don't apply to your situation. Rating: - A lifesaverI bought this book 4 years ago when my first son was 4 months old and only napped for 20 mins at a time and only slept for short periods at night. I knew something was going wrong, but all the 'routine' books I tried didn't seem to be fixing it.I bought this book and it all made sense. He was hugely overtired. By understanding the biology of sleep better and sensible yet flexible intervals for baby/child sleep I was able to make changes. I could go on and on about what a sanity saver this book is; its huge benefit is that it is not dictating minute by minute routines, but it is divulging some universal truths - eg all babies cry most between weeks 6-8. Also that babies who have had genuine colic WILL be overtired at 3-4 months and will need special ... Read More: |
