The No-Cry Sleep Solution

Gentle Ways to Help Your Baby Sleep Through the Night

 

A breakthrough approach for a good night’s sleep–with no tearsThere 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 No-Cry Sleep Solution

Pantley’s successful solution has been tested and proven effective by scores of mothers and their babies from across the United States, Canada, and Europe. Based on her research, Pantley’s guide provides you with effective strategies to overcoming naptime and nighttime problems. The No-Cry Sleep Solution offers clearly explained, step-by-step ideas that steer your little ones toward a good night’s sleep–all with no crying.

Tips from The No-Cry Sleep Solution:

• Uncover the stumbling blocks that prevent baby from sleeping through the night
• Determine–and work with–baby’s biological sleep rhythms
• Create a customized, step-by-step plan to get baby to sleep through the night
• Use the Persistent Gentle Removal System to teach baby to fall asleep without breast-feeding, bottlefeeding, or using a pacifier

“Whether baby sleeps in a crib or the family bed, The No-Cry Sleep Solution is full of supportive, encouraging and sensible ideas that respect the needs of both the baby and the parents. It reflects the fact that each family is unique and requires more than a one-size-fits-all solution to sleep issues. Parents will welcome Elizabeth Pantley’s empathic insight and parenting experience.”

Reading Your Child’s Sleepy Signals

The first six years of a child’s life are filled with changes. They learn, they grow, and they adapt to the world around them. This ever-changing development often has an impact on napping patterns, which means that their nap needs will vary throughout the early years. It can be difficult to keep up with an appropriate nap schedule, and both you and your child could end up very frustrated!

Managing Multiple Sleep Routines

I remember the days of trying to coordinate my older children’s bedtime routines with the non-schedule of my new baby. I remember how hard bedtime was when the baby needed my attention, and the other two thought that bedtime meant playtime.

Coordinating sibling sleep routines can seem like a monumental task, but the key to it is planning. Simply going with the flow every night will not help anyone. The kids will be running in different directions, you’ll be stressed, and your kids will be staying up too late.

Sudden Sleep Setbacks

Just when you thought you your child’s sleep issues were improving, you hit a unexpected setback. You were beginning to enjoy feeling rested and feeling more confident in your child’s sleep patterns, so it can be very frustrating to go through sudden sleep setbacks with your child.

Unfortunately, solving children’s sleep issues is an on-going process can last years (not weeks). Children grow and change on a daily basis, which means that their sleep issues can be unpredictable and downright baffling. One day you will feel like you have it all figured out only to be sent back to square one the next day.

Gentle Ways to Stop Bedtime Battles and Improve Your Child’s Sleep

 

A breakthrough approach for a good night’s sleep–with no tearsYour toddler isn’t sleeping through the night. Your preschooler battles bedtime. And you haven’t had a good night’s sleep in how many years? Get the rest you all desperately need with advice found in The No-Cry Sleep Solution for Toddlers and Preschoolers.

Elizabeth Pantley’s beloved parenting classic The No-Cry Sleep Solution has helped hundreds of thousands of parents gently coax their babies to sleep. Now she gives you tools to help your one-to-six year old child get in bed, stay in bed, and sleep all night – by providing no-cry solutions for:

• Bedtime battles, dawdling, and evening melt-downs
• Night waking and early rising
• Moving out of the crib and into a big-kid bed
• Graduating from the family bed to independent sleep
• Ending the all-night breastfeeding routine
• Stopping nighttime visits to your bed
• Handling naptime problems
• Solving nightmares, separation anxiety and fears

My previous sleep book, and the predecessor to this one, is The No-Cry Sleep Solution: Gentle Ways to Help Your Baby Sleep Through the Night. It provides answers to better sleep for parents of children from the day of birth through toddlerhood. My youngest son, Coleton, was a very frequent night-waking, all-night breastfeeding-baby. My experience learning how to help him sleep all night was the incentive for me to write my first no-cry sleep book. Since then, I have corresponded with thousands of parents, and I have expanded my research up through the preschool years to bring you this edition of The No-Cry Sleep Solution.

Because the magic of children is that they are all very different from one another, and that they are unique in their transitions from one stage of growth to the next, this edition of The No-Cry Sleep Solution crosses paths with the first for that in-between stage from baby to toddler. It then moves forward through the preschool years, and for many children, into the primary grades as well.

I hope now to guide you along a gentle, peaceful journey to good sleep for everyone in your family.

“In this excellent companion to her 2002 parenting classic, The No-Cry Sleep Solution, Pantley debunks many myths about children and sleep. She provides a plethora of examples about how perfectly natural it is for toddlers and preschoolers to have sleep issues. However, parents will be thrilled to hear that just because something is normal doesn’t mean they have to live with it. She addresses problems and solutions for a wide variety of sleep-related issues. This is hope condensed for the tired parent; essential for all public libraries.” ~ Kari Ramstrom, MLIS, A starred review, The Library Journal, May, 2005
