Sleeping Through the Night, Revised Edition

How Infants, Toddlers, and Their Parents Can Get a Good Night's Sleep

By: Jodi A. Mindell PhD

Narrated by: Susan Boyce

Right after "Is it a boy or a girl?" and "What's his/her name?," the next question people invariably ask new parents is "Are you getting any sleep?"

Unfortunately, the answer is usually "Not much." In fact, studies show that approximately 25 percent of young children experience some type of sleep problem and, as any bleary-eyed parent will attest, it is one of the most difficult challenges of parenting.

Drawing on her 25-plus years of experience in the assessment and treatment of common sleep problems in children, Dr. Jodi A. Mindell provides tips and techniques, the answers to commonly asked questions, and case studies and quotes from parents who have successfully solved their children's sleep problems. Unlike other books on the subject, Dr. Mindell also offers practical tips on bedtime, rather than middle-of-the-night-sleep training, and shows how all members of the family can cope with the stresses associated with teaching a child to sleep.

Actual science and practicality

Reading this book, helped us to get our daughter through a really challenging toddler age sleep regression. We are all sleeping much better now. This is the book that our friend, a child sleep psychologist, read in graduate school. It’s easy and accessible here. No PhD required. I loved reading a book that had a lot of minds and passion behind it, and wasn’t fixed on trends, but on healthy, compassionate sleep science. 

cry it out

this is just another book about the cry-it-out method said it wasn't but it is I do not believe in leaving my child to scream and cry 4 any amount of time don't buy this book.
