Eight Great Sleep Tips for Every Child
Lack of sleep affects every minute of every day for every person in the family because lack of sleep isn’t just about being tired. Sleep has a role in everything — dawdling, temper tantrums, hyperactivity, growth, health, and even learning to tie his shoes and recite the ABCs. Sleep affects everything. The following ideas are of value to almost any sleeper, of any age. These tips can bring improvement not only in your child’s sleep, but also in her daytime mood and last, but not least – improvements in your own sleep and outlook as well.
Read MoreWhen Will My Baby Sleep Through the Night?
How many times have you wondered this? To find the answer you first need to fully understand the question. The medical definition of “sleeping through the night” for a young baby is a five-hour stretch. That’s FIVE hours—not the eight, ten, or twelve hours that you may wish for! Most babies still awaken two to three times a night up to six months of age, and once or twice a night up to one year old. A baby is considered to be “sleeping through the night” when he sleeps those five consecutive hours without waking up to feed. While this may not be your definition of sleeping through the night, it is the reasonable yardstick by which we measure a young baby’s sleep. Yes—some babies achieve this stretch much sooner than others, but they do all get there eventually.

“Well-presented, honest and evidence-based – this is the first book I have seen that translates scientific insights into a usable form for parents. Pantley recognizes that everyone is different, and a range of options is more valuable than a single “one size fits all” approach. I will be pleased to commend this book to parents.”

“Expectant and new parents, take heed! This is the one sleep book you need to read before your little one arrives, or immediately after birth. It will set a pattern not only for better sleep, but also for a healthy, nurturing relationship with your children for a lifetime to come.”

“The No-Cry Sleep Solution for Newborns is a brilliant guide for parents of infants. If you feel strongly, as I do, that newborns should be treated gently, their needs respected, and their parents supported, you will find much to like in this book.

“As a general pediatrician in practice for 35 years, Pantley’s advice has been my ‘go-to’ for parents. With her latest book she provides a game plan to have happier, more flexible infants and, yes, happier, calmer parents who can actually enjoy their new babies. I am seriously thinking about providing this book to all new parents.”
Edward D Lewis, MD, FAAP

“How is your newborn baby like “The Princess and the Pea”? Just ask Elizabeth Pantley who has written the definitive book for new parents to easily learn their baby’s sleep cycles, the latest information on safe bed-sharing and how to learn their baby’s “language” and communication signals. Her suggestions for using pink-hued white noise and setting your baby’s biological clock are invaluable, and all new parents need to learn the real-life advice on helping infants fall asleep unaided *without* crying it out. How does your baby’s feeding pattern affect sleep? Why is darkness a factor? What about naps? Much more than a sleep book, “The No-Cry Sleep Solution” is written using evidence based research that Pantley did while working with numerous babies and families throughout the world. She gives parents many options, knowing there is not a one size fits all solution for helping newborns sleep better. A straightforward and uncomplicated read and definitely a book to be put on all new parents’ reading list. It is now on ours!”
