Product Description
Product Description
A newborn typically deprives parents of 400 to 750 hours of sleep in the first year of its life. It's hardly surprising that sleep and sleep-training is the #1 issue faced by new parents. Many mothers and fathers wrestle with the overwhelming number of sleep-training methods offered to them, from the "cry-it-out" techniques to the gentler "no-cry" approaches. But there are no scientific studies that prove one method is superior to any other. Lewis and Granic, however, have uncovered astonishing research and crucial information about sleep-training babies: the most critical factor is when you start the process. Timing is everything.
Bed Timing walks you through the stages of your child's development up to the age of four, revealing the windows during which sleep-training is most effective -- and when it stands the least chance of success. With this knowledge, you can decide when and how to teach your child to sleep through the night. The Ferber method, for example, is appropriate for the five-to-seven-month stage, when infants are emotionally resilient, but potentially disastrous in the eight-to-twelve-month stage, when they develop separation distress. Filled with practical advice on the top five sleep-training methods and instructions for dealing with sleep setbacks, Bed Timing is a simple, sensible and reassuring guide to help your child -- and yourself -- get to sleep.

Must have!,
This review is from: Bed Timing: The "when-to" guide to helping your child to sleep (Paperback)
This book is a must have for parents. It tells you when to sleep train, which the sleep training books don't tell you. I wish I would have bought this earlier

Useful Ideas on WHEN to sleep train,

This review is from: Bed Timing: The "when-to" guide to helping your child to sleep (Paperback)
This book proposes that parents attemp to "sleep train" infants at particular ages, on the basis that babies are more receptive to training at particular stages of development. It is an EXCELLENT book for parents trying to decide when to train and I have recommended to many friends. HOWEVER it does not offer any information or advice on sleep training techniques.

Best sleep book on the market, andthen some,

This review is from: Bed Timing: The "when-to" guide to helping your child to sleep (Paperback)
Finally, a book that tells you WHEN to sleep train. We read so many others that talk about techniques but no discussion of timing, leaving us frustrated when the techniques didn't work. This is the first that actually tells you when the best times are to try sleep training and backs it up with sound research. The authors clearly know their stuff -- they are both developmental psychologists and parents of twins --plus they know how to communicate the important stuff to sleep-deprived parents. Can't say enough good things about the table in the back of the book that outlines when to and not to attempt sleep training. Heard the authors on CBC radio last week and their advice to callers was fantastic.Also, this is the first book I've come across that tells you, in an easily accessible and engaging way, what is going on with your kid's emotional, cognitive, and social development at every stage. I really enjoyed reading about our 17 month-old's inner world. Now so much of what he is up to these days makes sense. As for the sleep, well, our son is no longer doing the 3-4-5 am wake-ups for milk and he's sleeping 7 to 7, thanks to their awesome tips. We are finally ALL getting a good night's sleep.
