Here ...I have some books that I recommend to moms. Here they are. <br /><br />Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child. The author is a doctor and has studied children's sleep extensively. I let moms whose babies' sleep patterns drive them crazy borrow it, and it's solved them each time (six of us, so far). Heidi is a happy girl and sleeps well, and I attribute a lot of it to this book. (It's a bit different from the No-Cry Sleep Solution, which from what I've seen, is the Mom-cries-often Sleep Solution.) I think we had three nights of crying to sleep. Out of a year of going to sleep with zero crying. <br /><br />Brain Rules for Baby. How to raise a happy, smart, moral baby, according to neurological evidence.HollyAdelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12877497966007349773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005791104662215182.post-12512999234502345952012-02-28T01:09:04.685-07:002012-02-28T01:09:04.685-07:00I loved Babywise and Secrets of the Baby Whisperer...I loved Babywise and Secrets of the Baby Whisperer. I don't think any 1 book as all the answers to every situation- but finding a book that makes sense to you- as was previously mentioned- and works for you family and baby- is what I would recommend.

With Ty, because he has reflux, we did Happiest Baby on the Block. At first, it was a miracle. The idea is to create an environment for the baby similar to when he/she was in the womb. Swaddling, swinging, shushing, laying on their side, and sucking on a pacifier. It was great at first because it was the only thing that put him to sleep. Now that he is five months old, however, it is a nightmare! He became so addicted to that environment that we have to break him of each habit one at a time. He literally would only sleep in his swing for the first 3 months of life. Breaking him of that was awful! Currently, he is off everything but swaddling and sucking on his pacifier. Looking back I would not choose to do this book unless you are desperate (aka colic or extreme reflux)! Ty is so much more high maintenance than Jay about sleeping. My vote is Babywise. It's a lot of work for the first 3 months but I'm still reaping the benefits 3 years later.Stacy Bradyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04547377347751198385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005791104662215182.post-51750691793901278932012-02-27T13:27:42.754-07:002012-02-27T13:27:42.754-07:00I haven't read this one, but read the No-Cry S...I haven't read this one, but read the No-Cry Sleep Solution book.
