: The Baby Sleep Book: The Complete Guide to a Good Night’s Rest for…
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.
