All these sleep books are so annoying. They go on and on about nothing, taking forever to get to what I paid for, the miraculous technique that will supposedly get my baby to sleep and stop pushing me to the brink of insanity, and then it turns out to be some dumb piece of common sense that isn't helpful. Yes, babies need routines and consistent bedtimes, very good, I'm not an idiot and I've already got that covered. What I want to know is why does he hate me so much that he feels it appropriate..more

OK, so here's the deal with The No Cry Sleep Solution.
I got this book because I really did not want to let my baby cry it out. I was pretty much attachment parenting from the time my baby was born until, oh, about 3 days after reading this book!
I did get a few good tidbits from the book, which is why it was not a '1.'

Recommends it for: moms of older children with behavioral sleep issues
While this book claims to be the third option for sleep-deprived parents (1 being: 'cry-it-out,' and 2 being 'live with it'), I found that it was more like 'live with it,' with a couple of helpful pointers to make you feel like you are doing something. Or perhaps it works as the preparation phase before going on to the Ferber method.

While I appreciate the idea of a method in between 'cry it out' and 'deal with it', I was infuriated by Pantley's inclusion of a speculative description of the agony a child might be feeling as they cry it out (e.g., 'His little body is burning with desire and utter loneliness' - I'm paraphrasing, but that is exactly the tone.) You can't use that manipulative, mean tactic AND say that (a) that you're offering a moderate option or (b) that whatever works for a family is what's best. I'm not wild..more

There were a couple of times, reading this book, that I laughed. Not because it's a comedy (it isn't) but because the idea of doing a log for baby sleep patterns was.. erm.. well.. let's just say it wouldn't have flown in our house.
Our twins were born in 2009, and I can't say much about the time when they were very little because I don't remember any of it and what I do I have blocked out. It was the most exhausting, demanding thing I have ever done or would ever want to do. The idea that I..more

I liked this book and found it to be helpful. That said, my baby did not have major sleep issues when I started it, nor was he an older baby (he was about 5 months). We were also instinctively using some of the book's recommendations already, so that made implementing it much easier.
We're not interested in letting our baby cry it out and this book helped us feel supported in that stance. It's true that many of the suggestions are commonsense, but we found this book helped to 'tie it all together..more

This book is the opposite of the BabyWise series, that I used for my first born child. It recommends a way to get your baby to sleep without using the 'cry it out' method. I love the idea because it's so hard to listen to your little one cry but the book was not for me and my second born child. The book advises you to put the baby to sleep, however you usually do (nursing, rocking, swaying, etc.), but lay the baby down JUST BEFORE the baby is truly asleep. If the baby wakes up at all, pick them..more

This is one of my favorite books on infant sleep. I really appreciated the tone of this book. The author offers many helpful suggestions for helping babies sleep depending on your parenting style and your babies temperament. So many other sleep books I've read try to tell you that their way is the only way and you must be doing something wrong if it isn't working for your child. It was refreshing to read something that gave ideas without the guilt trip.
It has some good ideas and points to follow, but it could be covered in some 30 pages. The rest of the 300 pages are full of nothing and repeating over and over the same nothing.

I credit this book with the ideas that have gotten my son to sleep by himself. Okay, okay, he's still waking up once a night and I'm going into his bed, but that's the next hurdle to get over and I'm confident we will.
The key things I learned, either through the book (admittedly, I finished it 3 months ago) or through my process:

Well, if you know us, you know that when we have babies we more or less practice 'attachment parenting,' which we didn't even know existed until we were already doing it. It just felt natural to have our babies co-sleep, to not use a bottle or pacifier, etc. Little did we realize that I would become the 'human pacifier' and that our oldest would have a very hard time weaning herself out of our bed. Fortunately we learned how to not begin that issue with our next two, but it still remained for ou..more
Is it just me, or are sleep books so flipping annoying? They spend the first half telling you sleeping facts and statistics, a quarter of the book is raving success stories from parents who tried the method ('this author saved my life!) and maybe a quarter of the book is actual information of what to do. It's like, 'I'm TIRED! That's why I'm reading this book. Cut the crap and get to the point.' I like the premise of the book--you can still sleep train your baby without using the 'cry it out met..more

A beacon of hope to those mired in the fog of sleep deprivation.
There is an almost universal malady among parents of young children and babies and it’s called Sleep Deprived. You know if you suffer from this condition if your baggy eyes remind you to that you need to call Grandma June, your pillow hair resists all attempts at taming, you put the cereal in the fridge and milk in the cupboard, and slinged to your body is a bundle from heaven for whom all of this is worthwhile.

Parts of this book were 5 stars, parts more like 2 stars. #1 I love the idea of a middle road between sleep training and having your life be out of control. I needed a reminder that such a middle road exists and I'm not the only person in the world who wants to be on it. #2 Some pointers are very good and we are and will be trying them. #3 A lot of other information that was not necessary for me - skimmed through large sections. I don't know that this book will change anyone's life overnight (or..more
The audacity it took for Pantley to write a book with such limited experience is astonishing. Her youngest son was two when she wrote this book and she admitted to him being a terrible sleeper until she used these made up methods with him when he was between 12-18 months (can't quite remember her timeline). She makes incredibly bold and unmerited claims about other methods that only serve as divisive, mom-shaming fuel. Even if there's wisdom in her methods, she lost me in her tone.
Many tricks I now have up my sleeve.. I'm excited to try them out and continue to follow and adjust my sleep plan.

This book is a ray of hope.
The only baby 'help' book I've ever read, because it's all I've ever needed.
I'm not buying into that 'let your child scream themselves to sleep' thing. A baby is not a toddler, a baby is not a preschooler, a baby is not a naughty little child who is angry about having to go to bed. A baby is just that, a completey helpless human who relies on only ONE method to let you know MANY different things: cry.

There are some really nice ideas in this book, but I can't help wishing that my own baby could read the book himself, understand it, and act upon it, because I have to say, it didn't work for me.

I read this book a bit before my first daughter was born and just after, and I learned a lot. I was quite proud of myself at the time. I had a well-adjusted infant who had a set sleep and wake-up time. Sure, she would wake up in the middle of the night for feedings, but those were also on a schedule. And I justified those away by reminding myself that she was very low on the weight percentile scale. If she wanted to eat, she would eat!

“Until about age ten or so, a child thrives on spending special quiet time with a parent before bed. Reading books, talking, giving back rubs, and simply being together quietly are all important prebed rituals. Actually, I find that most parents who do not have a formal bedtime routine typically spend that last hour before bed fighting with their children about going to bed—now that is unpleasant and unnecessary.” — 1 likes
