The No-Cry Sleep Solution: Gentle Ways to Help Your Baby Sleep Through the Night
 | Average Customer Rating: Recommend A breakthrough approach for a good night's sleep--with no tears There are two schools of thought for encouraging babies to sleep through the night: the hotly debated Ferber technique of letting the baby "cry it out," or the grin-and-bear-it solution of getting up from dusk to dawn as often as necessary. If you don't believe in letting your baby cry it out, but desperately want to sleep, there is now a third option, presented in Elizabeth Pantley's sanity-saving book The… Product details and pricing info |

- Wonderful Advices
- Our 10-month old sleeps very well already. But once in a while she'll wake up through out the night, while other nights she sleeps through. I bought this book to make sure we are doing the right things. I am impressed with the research the author has done. I now know what we are doing right on the nights our baby sleeps through and what we have done wrong when she keeps getting up at night. This is a must-read for all parents! The book even provides advices to use when your baby reaches different ages. I really don't have much time to read, so I read this book while my baby plays in her crib before she falls asleep. I can then use the advices I learned on her next nap. No more crying to sleep! No more guilt!

- It works!!!
- I bought this book because I was exhausted and about 650 people had given it positive reviews. It actually does work!!! Within 12 days, my son was sleeping through the night, and I re-entered the world of functioning, thinking human beings!! Pantley has taken a very scientific approach to developing this method, and it shows. It seems to be geared more toward co-sleeping families, but she includes advice for crib-sleepers as well.

- Empowering!
- I am so tired of the pressure that is placed on a mother to get her baby to be "good". This book is a wonderful tool. It gives you option after option and doesn't give "rules". You take what you can use and what works for you in your family. I love it when she says you can do whatever it takes. . . even if it means nursing again to get your baby to sleep. It gives me a huge sense of control to allows me to forgive myself instead of thinking I'm a bad mother for not following the rules.
It is also a very easy-to-read book. I was over half way through it before I knew it and I didn't expect to find time to read without falling asleep. I am totally in love with this book.
After just the first few chapters, I started implimenting a routine and a regular naptime based on his cues and it was almost instant that my 10 1/2 month old son started going to sleep without a fight. Now we are working on sleeping for longer stretches. The methods in this book are so stress free! I know we will make our goals with the help of the No-Cry Sleep solutions. - 2008-07-31, 1 of 1 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- A real gem!
- My friends are amazed that I can walk into the room of my sleeping 7 month old and put up his clothes and he never wakes up. This is because we set him up on the right foundation from the beginning. Every mom and dad should read this book and realize the potential that even a 6-7 week old baby has regarding there sleep habits.
This is now the only gift that I give to mom's at baby showers and if anyone ever ask for any ideas on sleepy I refer them to this book. Thank you Mrs. Pantley for sharing such wonderful tips and ideas and making me realize that I am doing the best possible job that I can.

- Good grief they're talking about my baby!
- Well, there's a good chance that you can find portions that relate to your baby too. I'm actually reading this book at the 4 month point... almost 2 months after I started to systematically and logically come to many of the same conclusions as this author (and of course borrowing ideas from other books that I've read). I'm not sure if I would have understood her many practical points just by reading them but they are certainly dead on when compared with my months of studious logging, suspicions, and experiments. Unless you have the time to hide out in a cabin with your baby and spouse for almost two months as I did, you may never be sufficiently isolated from social commitments to see the patterns that the author describes succinctly. With the holidays upon us and the baby's needs evolving, this book is a good source of reminders on how to stay focused on the baby and her needs -- which will in turn keep the whole family happy!
