 Gentle way to help your child sleep! January 1, 2009

I am a family physican and I recently had a baby. I have spent many hours reading childcare and sleep books and studies. The No Cry Sleep Solution techniques work! And they are gentle! It is important to realize that these techniques take some experimenation and patience. I believe that these techniques accomplish what parents want for their children- close bonded relationships while still getting good sleep. I recommend this book to many of my patients!
Sleep for everyone - guilt free January 1, 2009

As a mother of two and a breastfeeding counselor, I recommend this book to every parent I meet. What is great about this book is that it doesn't give one cut and dry method. It teaches you all about your baby's needs so that you can determine what to do to help your baby sleep.
I used this book when our second baby was waking me every two hours. The cry it out method was not for me. I have, admittedly, tried it and was left with an exhausted, wiped out baby the next day. Elizabeth's suggestions are wonderful. I read through the book, realized what my baby was missing, made the necessary changes and now everyone is sleeping soundly. I highly recommend this book to all parents!
Really Useful Book January 1, 2009
Catherine B. Riley
I have used the techniques described in this book with both my children.
Of the several sleep books I have read, I liked Pantley's the best for many reasons.
First, I really like the fact that she is writing parent-to-parent, rather than as a credentialed "expert."
I like her middle-of-the-road approach; I found her sleep solutions helpful in balancing my needs with those of my babies.
I found the book well organized, in that it is organized both by the baby's age as well as by feeding method (breast or bottle) and sleep location (crib or parent's bed).
I particularly liked that Pantley presents a variety of techniques to help baby sleep, rather than just one method.
Fabulous book! December 31, 2008
Ryan's Mommy (Berks County, Pennsylvania)
This is a fabulous book! After much advice from other people who thought they knew the perfect solution to help my son get to sleep, I discovered this book, read it and put it into practice. My son now goes to sleep easily and usually sleeps through the night. I don't know how I got along without this book! Easy to read and helpful "workbook" pages, too!
This Book Saved My Sanity December 31, 2008

When my daughter was born, we noticed very quickly that she -- just like her Daddy had when he was young -- liked to fight sleep. My husband and I didn't feel that letting her "cry it out" was the best way to get her to sleep, but we didn't know what else to try. Exhausted from sleep deprivation and worried that I would never be able to convince my little princess that sleep is a good thing, I was at my wits' end. I heard about the No-Cry Sleep Solution in a Mommy and Me class at the hospital, so I checked a copy out from the library and even sent an e-mail to Ms. Pantley. The tips in the book and the kind and reassuring e-mail response I received from Ms. Pantley helped immensely. Each person is different, so every suggestion offered in the book won't work for everyone in every situation. However, there is a big enough variety of tips that something is bound to work. I found several that helped my daughter go to sleep more easily. Different suggestions work for my newborn son, who has a much more easygoing disposition. Recently, a co-worker of mine was desperately looking for ways to get her new baby to sleep more easily -- without resorting to the "crying it out" methods. I lent her my book, and she, too, has had great luck with the suggestions in it. Her little one is sleeping much better and her own outlook has improved greatly. Thanks, Elizabeth!
