Even Hollywood's biggest stars face the same dilemma as other parents do: 'How do I get my child to sleep?' As parents in the know are finding, whether they're on the red carpet or the soccer field, the answer is the same: The Sleepeasy Solution. Psychotherapists and sleep specialists Jennifer and Jill, the dynamic 'girlfriends' all of Hollywood calls on to solve Junior's sleep problems, have perfected their sleep technique that will get any child snoozing in no time-most often in fewer than three nights. The key to their method?
It addresses the emotional needs of both the parent and child (yes, how to handle the crying!)-a critical component of why most other sleep methods fail. In this much-needed, family-friendly guide, weary parents will learn to define their own individual sleep goals, those that work for their family's schedule and style. They'll create a customized 'sleep planner' to ensure consistency with both parents as well as extended caregivers.
(As an added bonus, they'll even improve the readers' relationships with their spouses with the 'marriage-saver' section.) With comprehensive sections devoted to each stage of Baby's and Toddler's development, plus solutions to special circumstances like traveling, daylight saving's time, moving to a 'big kid bed' and multiples, The Sleepeasy Solution is a dream come true! 'This approach was truly amazing in helping our family to thrive. We are eternally grateful!' -Ben Stiller and wife, Christine Taylor, actors 'With their gentle approach, Sleepeasy gave us the tools we needed to solve our daughter's sleep problems.' -Conan O'Brien, host of NBC's Late Night with Conan O'Brien 'Sleepeasy gave us all the tools we needed to get our baby sleeping through the night. Now when we say good night to our daughter, we know it really will be a good night.' -Greg Kinnear, actor.
I've officially given up on sleep books and am throwing in the towel. This will likely be the last one I pick up. There was nothing inherently wrong with the advice given here (another modified CIO approach to infant sleep) but I've realized that my little one will STTN when she's ready and that - for now - several wakings during the night is normal and okay (particularly as she is EBF and not yet eating solids).

In my opinion, western society is way too obsessed with this notion that a baby MUST sleep through the night at such young ages. I've come to cherish the quiet night time together and appreciate the fact that we have these moments to cuddle - especially because I am apart from her so long during the day M-F. Yes, I often start my days tired but that's what coffee is for, right?
As for going to sleep in her crib, we've got that down and our method goes against what CIO practioners advise (I nurse and rock her until she's asleep in my arms. Then I gently place her in her crib. Around midnight when she wakes up for the first time, I bring her to bed with me and we cuddle/nurse/sleep the rest of the early morning. CIO has never worked for her - she seems to get more wound up rather than the opposite and her screams were just too awful for me to endure.) This provides me with a few hours of sleep alone in my bed (well, with my husband) before she joins us.
Hey, it works for us and, at the end of the day (literally!) that really all that matters, right? Everyone's got to find the best way for them. Absolutely saved my sanity and helped my daughter to learn excellent sleeping skills. I chose this book in a haze from the bookshelf at Borders one day after a major regression in my child's sleeping patterns left the whole family with basically no sleep for days.

I was so tired that I was on the verge of a meltdown and there was no end in sight. I'd tried everything I could think of to help her sleep and nothing was working anymore. The reason I grabbed 'Sleepeasy' is because the print was large and there were sidebars with quick tips in them - in short - it was easy for an exhausted person to read and digest. Within a week of buying the book and applying the methodology, my daughter was going to bed and naps easily, sleeping through the night and in a MUCH better mood when awake! As time has passed and there have been disruptions in our routine, such as illness, developmental milestones, teething or travel, I've returned to the book to help us get back on track.
'Sleepeasy' is such a godsend that I won't even loan it out to friends because I always want it easily on hand for reference if needed. This method of sleep training is not for every child, but it is certainly what my child needed and continues to thrive on. Sleepeasy: worked better than expected. Promises almost all babies will be sleeping all night in 5 days or less, if parents follow the plan exactly. My baby dropped from 10 to 4 wakings the first night, and down to one waking the second night with a sleep stretch of 7 1/2 hours!
Ferber's method:increased night crying and number of wakings Weissbluth's method: my baby cried and cried and then it didn't work longterm because my baby was still night nursing. Pantley No-Cry Sleep Solution: didn't work, Sleepeasy: worked better than expected. Promises almost all babies will be sleeping all night in 5 days or less, if parents follow the plan exactly.

The plan was confusing and difficult to follow.
My baby had lots and lots of little bouts of crying, more total than a let cry method in the longrun. Night wakings increased, I was stressed because my 'to-do' list was soooo long. Really good advice and encouragement in a concise and easy-to-read format for parents working on their children's sleep.
I'm taking off a star because of the authors' slant towards mothers being the primary caregiver of their kids. I understand some families work this way, either by choice or due to tradition.

Even if yours has a much more active dad in the picture, ignore the bias and just take the information and suggestions. With travels and a move on our horizon, I'll definitely go back to this book to get our son's sleep back on track. I can't recommend this book any more whole-heartedly or enthusiastically.
If you're losing your mind from lack of sleep due to a miniature version of you, this book will help you solve that. We had tried reading a few other books but the methods seemed a little too draconian for our tastes. This book struck the perfect balance between crying it out and offering aid to your child, in the form of scheduled check-ins (with no contact whatsoever, just reassuring and encouraging words). My wife & I can't recommend this book any more whole-heartedly or enthusiastically.

This book struck the perfect balance between crying it out and offering aid to your child, in the form of scheduled check-ins (with no contact whatsoever, just reassuring and encouraging words). My wife & I employed the methods on Thanksgiving night 2012 (our daughter was 9 mo old at the time), and it literally worked for us in 18 minutes! Two prescribed check-ins and 18 minutes of exorcist-worthy screaming and she has been a pro-sleeper ever since, now asking to be put down for bed or naps! If you're the timid type, try buying the accompanying DVD to see it work in action. I actually needed that because I'm often the one putting our little girl to bed and yes, I was very nervous, but the DVD was the coup de gras and I was ready for action.
Ironically, I finished reading this book in the middle of the night when my 8 month old was refusing to sleep. The 4 stars is based on the writing and readability of the book.
I haven't put the plans into practice yet. That's on the docket for the weekend. Let me start by saying I am really not a fan of 'crying it out' or letting my lovely one cry and cry. However, none of the non-cry methods have worked with him.

However, none of the non-cry methods have worked with him. So I'm going to give this one a try. It promises results in less than a week for night time sleeping and a bit longer for naps (we need help there too).
I liked the step-by-step approach and that I would read a section and then work on a specific section of our sleep plan. It was less overwhelming that way than some of the books where you read the whole thing and either 1) don't get anything practical to do or 2) have so much information you don't know where to start implementing. We'll see how it goes. This book is great!
I have so many 'how to get your baby to sleep' books which are informative, but this book gives you a nuts and bolts plan that you can put into action. We recently encountered some problems with our daughter waking during the night.she had slept before but she is at a developmental fever pitch right now and i suspect also having a bit of separation anxiety.
Whatever the reason, she used to sleep and all of a sudden decided she wouldnt! After reading the book, we started our this book is great!

From there on out, it has been like a dream! We have gone from getting up several times a night to sleeping 11 hours straight. This had been recommended to me by several fellow parents who had used it as a guide for successfully 'sleep training' their babies. Of all the sleep resources available to exhausted parents, the consensus seemed to be that this one worked, so when we decided it was time to try to improve our baby's sleep habits, we decided to make this our bible. That was a good choice.

That was a good choice. I read the first few chapters (which hold most of the key information) on a tough night, after a series of tough nights, when we decided enough was enough. I confess that it made me cry a lot, though that certainly was not the authors' intent. It just brought up every kind of mom emotion for me: the relief of being understood and knowing we were not alone in these challenges, guilt that we hadn't made these changes sooner for our baby and ourselves, gratitude that there appeared to be achievable solutions to the sleep issues we were struggling with, grief at having to give up some of the practices that were contributing to the problem (in particular, letting my baby fall asleep in my arms - inconvenient, but so very precious).
I had to stop reading, because it was all too much. But I finished reading it over the next couple days, we put it into practice, and the process went so much better than we expected it to. As I type this, we are not quite a week in, and it's still a bit bumpy at times (naps especially), but it has already made such a positive difference in our lives. I needed to read this book so much that I can't really be objective in my critique of it.
I did notice some assumptions about gender roles and spousal relationships that don't reflect the diversity of modern families, which might trouble some readers more than others. It did bother me, but not enough to outweigh the good. Overall I appreciated the tone of the book - it was written with great compassion for those reading it, and was honest and realistic about what's involved in the process they present. I am sure it will continue to be a valuable resource for us, and I would definitely recommend it to other families. I know everyone is different and different methods work for different families, but this book 100% worked for us and I would recommend it to anyone trying to sleep train.
My 8 month old had started waking up almost every hour just to pacify himself to sleep on me, he would not sleep without being super fussy, squirmy, and cried multiple times a night. The VERY FIRST NIGHT we began the steps in this book, he cried for about 45 min before falling asleep (around 8pm).

The VERY FIRST NIGHT we began the steps in this book, he cried for about 45 min before falling asleep (around 8pm). THEN HE SLEPT ALL NIGHT UNTIL 7 am! No joke, I am so relieved to be able to finally sleep all night!! This book gives great detailed information on night sleeping, napping, and anything else you can think of as far as sleep training goes. I am so happy it was suggested to me! “To avoid early-morning wakings, do not allow your child to get out of his crib or room until at least 11 hours after his bedtime (you can settle for 10½ hours if your child consistently—after three or more days in a row—seems rested after this much sleep).

One of the most difficult times for your child to put himself back to sleep is in the early morning, particularly if he’s been used to getting up or coming into bed with you at that hour. But if you get your child up too early, he’s robbed of enough sleep and will start his day overtired and cranky—and will have a tougher time napping well. For additional information on how to troubleshoot early-morning wakings, please see the section entitled “Bumps in the Road” in Chapter 10, “Special Situations.” For Crib Sleepers If your child wakes in the early-morning hours, continue to do your check-ins just as you did at bedtime and throughout the night.
If he hasn’t gone back to sleep, once the clock reaches your designated wake time, go into your child’s room, open the blinds or turn on the light, and say, “You did it! You stayed in your crib the whole night until the sun was nice and bright! We’re so proud of you!” Cuddle and hug him and give him a nice full feed, if he’s ready. Whatever you do, don’t allow your child to fall back asleep—in your arms, in your bed, or in his crib; he’s spent the night practicing how to sleep on his own, and you don’t want to undo your hard work. If your child has woken early but managed to put himself back to sleep—and is still sleeping at the designated wake time—lucky you! Allow him to sleep as long as he likes, up to 12 hours; you’ll want to wake him at this point to preserve his ability to nap well.
If your child sleeps later than your scheduled wake time, remember to adjust his nap time later as well (but don’t adjust it any earlier, to avoid a too-early schedule for the day).” —.
