Sleep Consult

De: Marc Weissbluth MD, Daniel Weissbluth

This book is my attempt to address all the variables that create good sleep in children. I have spent my career researching sleep and helping families all over the world with their children’s sleep. No two sleep consults are exactly the same because there are a lot of variables. There is no one-size sleep solution that fits everyone. I advise you to start with the age of your child and meander through other topics as you proceed. I encourage you to jump around. Along the way, you will learn a huge amount and create your own personalized solutions to enjoy healthy sleep in your household.

Just not meant for audio

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

Nothing, this book just wasn't meant for an audio medium. Though, if the chapters were labeled better in the app it might have redeemed the experience. I should've researched it better going in to know that you're supposed to navigate to the chapter that's applicable to you so not particularly worth the cost.

Don't waste your time!

What would have made Sleep Consult better?

Real information instead of one big advertisement for their other books, blogs, etc

Fast access to information

Have you listened to any of the narrator’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

The narrator was fine.

Any additional comments?

At first I thought this was useless because it did not have enough detail. I got it because the authors other book wasn't available on audible. I soon came to know how helpful this really is! Health sleep habits healthy baby (HSHHB) is the BEST book I have read on the sleep & eat habits of babies (and I have read Ferber, Ezzo, and more). HSHHB is a game changer & had my kid sleeping 6 hours at night at week 6 and 11 hours by month 2. Naps are regular and predictable. I never have to wonder if the baby is hungry or tired or needs a diaper change. It is apparent from the schedule. Its super predictable and gets me in charge of my schedule too. the pediatrician was surprised that the kid is actually getting the high side of the required sleep amount and the hardly ever fusses or cries. Believe me, that is not just a 'personality' thing, I happen to be familiar with the DNA in that kid so I can guarantee it is not just 'luck'.HSHHB was great but it is a long book with lots of disorganized content. The book will get you through the first couple years. When the baby is 6 weeks old and you are sleepless you could care less about when naps should be for a 6 month old and you don't want to re-read the whole book every month when the nap schedule changes. That is where sleep consult comes in. Just go right to the chapter for the baby's age and he tells you what to do. It's a perfect companion to HSHHB.These two books are the most useful I have read and have rewarded me with much happiness and sleep. I highly recommend HSHHB and if you decide to implement it, get sleep consult too
