Sleeping Through the Night: How Infants, Toddlers, and Their Parents
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% of youn

As far as I’m concerned, Jodi A. Mindell and this book are a godsend. I have been co-sleeping with my baby since he was born, just to get two or three hours of sleep at a time. I was told that a breast-fed baby would most likely not sleep through the night untill 12 months! I never though it would work, but the methods suggested in this book worked almost immediately. After a couple of tearfull bedtimes and naps, my 7 month old baby boy sleeps like a champ! I swear to God, if you can put up with the heart-wrenching first few times, you are in for a whole lifestyle change. After four days of using these methods, my baby has slept through the night in his own crib for the first time ever! He can put himself to sleep without my assistance in less than ten minutes, and takes the longest naps he ever has (an hour or more each)! I’ve told everyone of my friends about this book…I couldn’t reccomend it with more enthusiasm. It has changed our lives forever. I have one happy, well-rested baby.

This book changed our lives. It is so amazing that I now give it to every one of my friends as a baby shower gift. Our 7 month old daughter was still breastfeeding every 2 hours day and night. I almost had a nervous breakdown I was so exhausted. Our pediatrician told us that there was no physical reason that she should be waking and eating that much. I found this book (I truly believe that God sent it to me) and finally knew that it was time to help our baby learn sleep habits. I could never bring myself to use all of the BabyWise book methods; they just seemed so harsh and cruel. However, this book lays it all out with the reasonings behind all of the suggestions, and lets you know that if you can’t let your baby cry for 5 full minutes, it’s OKAY to go check on her after only 2 minutes. The main thing is to just make sure you keep lengthening the time intervals. The very first night we tried the methods in this book, our daughter cried a total of 55 minutes (which was extremely heartbreaking). However, she SLEPT THE REST OF THE NIGHT and woke up HAPPY — something she had never done! The next night I thought would be worse, but she only cried 30 minutes before putting herself to sleep. By the third night, it was less than 10 minutes. Her naps also increased and she became a much happier baby. She is now 2 and a half years old and still sleeps better than most of her friends. This book is a miracle and a must have for all parents!

This was the first book we read that actually offered practical guidelines (besides ‘just let them cry it out’)- and explained why the techniques worked. We started getting much more sleep within days – and now our daughter takes great naps, goes to bed at 7pm each night and (usually) sleeps through the night. A must read for any tired parent.

This is a great book that offers practical advice for parents who want to get their baby on a regular sleeping schedule. My baby had been sleeping in bed with my husband and me while I was on maternity leave. I loved it, but I never got a good night’s sleep. When I returned to work 3 months later, I knew we had to get her to sleep in her own bed. Dr. Mindell is great because she approaches the crying aspect in very practical terms–your baby is crying because she is tired and she can’t put herself to sleep. The first few nights were rough, but I kept telling myself that she had to learn to fall asleep on her own–she would never do that if we kept her in our bed. Within two weeks she was waking up once or twice a night. One month later she is sleeping through the night. I have a six year old niece who slept with her parents until she was a toddler, and to this day, she can’t fall asleep on her own in her own bed. I did not want that for my child. Thanks to this book, that won’t be an issue.

We were at our breaking point! We dreaded bedtime and were struggling with several wakeups a night. We didn’t think anything could help us. On top of it all, as working parents, our careers and our relationship were suffering. At 4:30am, I logged onto Amazon.com and ordered many different books on how to get your child to sleep. I was desperate! This book was our saviour! To my amazement, most of her sleep problems were our fault. We had never let her fall asleep on her own and we were putting her to bed way to late. Dr. Mindell gave us the tools we needed to make it work. Although the first few nights were very tough, we noticed improvement in just a week. After two weeks, she started sleeping through the night. She even takes naps during the day! The greatest advice from Dr. Mindell was to be your childs’ timekeeper. Once you follow the advice, I think most parents will see improvement. I highly recommend this book if your child is over 6 months and is not sleeping well. You will be amazed just how happy your child and yourself will be after sleeping through the night!
