Book Description:
Why do some families have fewer sleep problems than others? What works for most parents most of the time and why?

Parenting is a full-time, twenty-four-hour-a-day job. Nighttime Parenting was written to make that job easier and to help the whole family--mother, father, baby--sleep better. It helps parents understand why babies sleep differently than adults, offers solutions to nighttime problems, and even describes how certain styles of nighttime parenting can aid in child spacing and lower the risks of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).

Renowned pediatrician Dr. William Sears helps you find a solution to your baby's sleepless nights and offers comprehensive, caring advice on issues such as:

* Where babies should sleep
* What foods help children sleep
* Tips for single parents
* Getting children to bed without a struggle

This newly-revised edition incorporates the latest research on SIDS and its prevention, and is truly a must-have volume for all parents.

"This book belongs on the shelf right next to The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding. It will help all new parents raise happier and more secure children."--Mary White, founding mother, La Leche League (r) International

This book is a worthwhile read for any new parent. While it is geared mainly for those new or soon-to-be parents who are considering "co-sleeping", there are many interesting facts and insights into the nighttime life of a newborn. Great as a reference for those not familiar with the parenting style of co-sleeping, and great as a support for those who have chosen this method (but who are among the minority).

I found this book very useful. If you are opposed to cosleeping it is not the book for you. It is a very logical approach to parenting. and...IT WORKS!

Gentle techniques that involve the family to help your little ones sleep better. Good if you like anything Sears.

This book by Dr. Sears gives invaluable advice for parents. It is geared more towards attachment parenting, as it does not advocate crying it out and co-sleeping. Gives advice on how to help your child get to sleep, how to get them to stay asleep and also advice for fathers on their childrens sleep habits.
