Sleeping Book

Didn't work for us - NONE of the books worked for us. Time and patience, and listening to our child's cues is the only thing that worked.

I owned it at some point and don't remember a whle lot about it, but I know it's not the one I liked. I swear by 'Good Night, Sleep Tight' by Kim West! This book changed my life after having made all the sleep mistakes a new first time mom could make. I wrote a review/article about it; here's a link if you'd like to read it:

If you take a look at my other hubs there you'll also find several write-ups to help solve sleep problems for different ages.

The method taught in the book mentioned above is great because it involves crying but not in a bad way like typical cry-it-out methods - you are in the room with your child so if he/she cries it's not as bad as listening to it from the other side of the door. That's not the only difference though. It's an easy technique and not a torturous one (for parent or child) and if you follow it and stick with it, it will work.

I used it when my first was nearly one year and then again with my second when she was just a few months old and I know without a doubt that my children are better sleepers and have way better sleep habits than anyone else I know and I credit Kim West (Good Night, Sleep Tight)!

Good luck!

Can't speak to the toddler version, but the baby No-Cry sleep book is great so I imagine the toddler one would be too.

Healthy Sleep Habits Happy Child..... It won't give you a step by step system, but you will gain slot of great insight on how little one's sleep habits work. I took what I learned from the book and was able to put a lot together about my own child and what works best for her. I honestly don't think she would be as good of a sleeper without the knowledge I gained from this book. Good luck!

I had it-I read it but didnt really do the trick-I hate to say it but the CIO method worked for us-My first child I would "lay down with him" he slept in my bed and it was just tough afterwhile-I swore I would not make that same mistake with #2. As much as I thought I would be against it, it really worked-its tough for about 2-3 nights but let me tell you its better for all of us-#2 sleeps better is in her own crib and we are in our bed and #1 is in his bed and everyone sleeps and everyone wakes up happy! Good Luck!
