Many new parents experience anxious nights with sleepless children.
Families are forced to endure months or even years of insomnia due to their children's habitual inability to sleep, often with considerable consequences for the parents' sense of well-being, and in some cases for the health of marriages and working lives. This book provides a sensible guide to how babies sleep and why they cry. It demonstrates how this knowledge can be applied in practical ways to help the normal, healthy baby establish sleeping patterns that will improve his or her life and benefit the entire family. Families following the program outlined in this book will find a good night's sleep is no longer an impossible dream.
