- Works Well
Really made baby & us happier! We're a bit flexible from time to time for special outings, etc., but the schedule is pretty consistent.

- Worked great for our family
My boys are now 12 and 15 so I read this book some time ago, however it was one of the best things I have ever done for them. This book gives great insight on the value of sleep and how childrens' sleep cycles work. My kids know the importance of sleep (even though they don't realize it!)and we have never had any of the nighttime/bedtime problems that one often hears about. It is hard to hear your child cry? Of course! But in the long run, a child who can go to sleep alone is much better off. I look at it this way, my kids used to cry when they had to use a car seat but I made them anyway and put up with the crying because, in the long run, it was what was best.

- Complete waste of money and time
I bought this book on recommendation from my daughter's pediatrician. I found it very confusing with no real "action plan" drawn up besides letting my baby cry it out. This book is written from a very arrogant perspective. He reminds me of the doctor that told me there was no benefit of nursing past six months. After spending almost 17 dollars on this book...I think the only thing it will be useful for is starting a fire this winter. A terrible, close-minded book with no healthy solutions for our family!

- Worked for us so far!
I purchased this book with two others and after reviewing not less than four total, I would say Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child would be the best of the lot and if you can only afford one book about this topic, get this one. That said, this book should only be read by people with excellent mental filtering abilities. I ignored much of the dialogue regarding the ADHD implications, etc. Many I have spoken with, including my husband felt the book contradicted itself "never wake a sleeping baby" "wake baby if..." I understood where others felt the author contradicted himself but I think the real issue is the Dr. Wiessbluth isn't very good at describing moderation, presenting both sides of the coin, and then trusting our parental instincts.

All of that sounds sort of negative. Here is what I learned. 1. My baby wasn't getting enough sleep. 2. She wasn't going to sleep early enough and wasn't on a regular ... Read More
