A breakthrough approach that offers hope to exhausted parents looking for gentle ways to help their baby sleep without the heart-wrenching tears

Are you suffering through sleepless nights and having to fend off a barrage of heartless advice about letting your baby "cry it out"? The No-Cry Sleep Solution will show you how it is entirely possible and within your grasp to help your baby fall asleep peacefully--and stay asleep all night long.

Until now the only two ways to deal with sleepless nights were to let your baby cry herself to sleep or to become a sleep-deprived martyr and tough it out from dusk until dawn. At last, there is a practical and effective third way, thanks to Elizabeth Pantley, a parent educator and mother of four. Pantley is like a best friend who's been there and is full of caring advice to help you and your baby get a good night's sleep. Her ten-step will lead you through the process one day at a time by:

• Shedding new light on your baby's sleep patterns and helping you set realistic goals
• Showing you how to analyze, assess, and improve your baby's sleep patterns using sleep logs
• Offering a variety of sleep solutions that fit every parenting style, whether you cosleep with your baby or she sleeps in a crib or whether you breastfeed or bottlefeed
• Creating a tear-free customized sleep plan that works for both you and your baby

Don't let sleep deprivation keep you from enjoying your baby. The No-Cry Sleep Solution is full of reassuring advice and words of wisdom from other parents who have had success with the program. It will give you the tools you need to effectively and gently reach your goal--a good night's sleep for everyone.

Review: The No-Cry Sleep Solution: Gentle Ways to Help Your Baby Sleep Through the Night: Foreword by William Sears, MD

User Review  - Jen Wilson - Goodreads

Even though I agree with her sleep methods, I didn't find too much that was helpful in here. I'm too lazy to try her methods for several weeks to see if they work. Most of the book is made up of forms and things to write in and offers very little actual advice, IMHO.

User Review  - Jenny Wingler - Goodreads

While every suggestion was not practical, this helped me try & find what worked for my little sleep-stealer. I am totally against crying it out, and was tired of living with the sleepless nights. We had some success with the methods described in this book.
