A Decent Overview,
By Hoopty Frood (Toront, ON Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Baby Sleep Book: The Complete Guide to a Good Night's Rest for the Whole Family (Paperback)
This is a decent starter book if you're looking for information on helping your little one sleep better. I appreciated the list of sleep associations for getting a routine set up for the baby. Through the exercise of tracking my son's sleeping times, I realized that we were, indeed, already on a sort of consistent schedule. That helped me to feel much better about the situation.In the end, however, I still feel that there is something missing, that the pages were too simplistic. Ultimately, I'd say this is a good starting point to help you get a sense of direction, but not a final solution.

Like all of Sears other books this one gives you permission to follow your own instincts with your baby. It gives you permission to have a family bed and tells you to enjoy it. It is short on any new solutions to sleep problems, as it contains much of what is in The Baby Book. Sears's other recommended book "The No-Cry Sleep Solution" is the perfect companion to this one since it contains gentle solutions that are compatible with the ideas in all Sears baby books.

Sleep, Baby, Sleep,
By Lit_Goddess - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Baby Sleep Book: The Complete Guide to a Good Night's Rest for the Whole Family (Paperback)
This is a wonderful addition to the Sears Parenting Library. While the book contains standard AP/Sears fare (i.e. breastfeeding is good, consider co-sleeping, always respond to a crying baby, etc.), there are also some great new ideas wrt to helping your baby sleep better and longer.Know what you're getting when you buy this book however: there are no miracle solutions, or quick fixes to get your infant to sleep. The authors want to educate you about how babies really do sleep, and to help you make the best choices for your family once armed with that information. But you're not going to finish reading this book and have all of the answers to get your 8 week old to sleep through the night. Indeed, you'll realize that your 8 week old probably should NOT be sleeping through the night, but you'll have some tools to help you cope with this. Dr. Bill, Martha, and their two pediatrician sons offer compassionate, responsible parenting advice. They are truly advocates for babies and children, and their gentle, kind approaches to parenting are a relief after reading version after version of "Your baby should fit into your life, and you shouldn't have to compromise or change because of them." Oh -- if you haven't read anything by William and Martha Sears before this, I strongly recommend _The Baby Book_, _The Attachment Parenting Book_, and _The Discipline Book_. Again, there is some overlap in all of the Sears' books, but these three are great primers in infant care and parenting. 83 of 90 people found the following review helpful

Good Sears primer,
By Catz "Mommy" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Baby Sleep Book: The Complete Guide to a Good Night's Rest for the Whole Family (Paperback)
If you are new to Dr Sears and sleep is your only issue this would be a nice choice. I found lots of the sleep ideas in The Baby Book which also has everything else you need about raising your baby. The Baby Book would be my first choice from Sears.
