Story
You have a newborn, so sleep is impossible, right? Wrong! In the womb, babies sleep up to 20 hours per day. Clearly newborns don't need to be "trained" how to sleep-they know how, and they've had plenty of practice. So why do most parents have trouble getting their newborns to sleep? Elizabeth Pantley, a world-renowned expert on children's sleep, created this guide to explain the ways we unintentionally prevent an infant's natural sleep to occur, and to teach us the simple but powerful ways to maximize our newborn's naps and nighttime sleep.

There are the days where just managing to fit a shower in amidst the endless feeding, entertaining young children and surviving on a lack of sleep feels like an achievement.

This is not a parenting manual. This is real life. The Unmumsy Mum writes candidly about motherhood like it really is: the messy, maddening, hilarious reality; how there is no 'one size fits all' approach; and how it is sometimes absolutely fine to not know what you are doing. The lessons she's learnt while grappling with two small boys - from birth to teething, three a.m. night feeds to toddler tantrums, soft play to toilet training - will have you roaring with laughter and taking great comfort in the fact that it's definitely not just you....

As the founder of Resources for Infant Educarers (RIE), Magda Gerber has spent decades helping new mothers and fathers give their children the best possible start in life. Her successful parenting approach harnesses the power of this basic fact: Your baby is unique and will grow in confidence if allowed to develop at his or her own pace.

French parenting isn't a known thing, like French fashion or French cheese. Even French parents themselves insist they aren't doing anything special. But French children are far better behaved and more in command of themselves than American kids....

For people who happen to be parents (or might be soon). Because for every turdy nappy you sadly deposit into a gag-reflex-inducing bin, there's a moment that's less sh*t around the corner. This is not a audiobook that will help you grow (or raise) a human successfully. But this is a book that might, if you're not too emotionally battered - and can see through the permanent eye twitch - help you laugh a little more than you cry. But that's not guaranteed.

Turning the traditional notion of parenting on its head, Dr Tsabary shifts the epicentre of the parent-child relationship away from the standard parent-to-child 'know it all' approach to a mutual 'parent-with-child' relationship in which the parent learns alongside the child. Parents unwittingly pass on an inheritance of psychological pain and emotional rigidity to their children.

Summary
There 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 audiobook 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 nap-time 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.

if you breastfeed and co-sleep there are good tips
there are few good tips that I found useful. only a few days in and some changes have already happened at my house. I appreciated that older babies were mentioned and also experienced some degrees of success. This is really just a bunch of tips and the reminder that keeping a log gives insight and makes small and large improvements noticeable. If you are not breastfeeding or cosleeping I think that you may find the promotion of breastfeeding and co-sleeping to be condescending for those who are not. since we're doing both this book was not annoying in that way for me. but I can see that it would be for others. this does not offer any short-term, Quick Fix solution. I am seeing small results already though.

This book has transformed nighttime in my house.
Over the course of the summer, my 9 mo has gone from waking at least every two hours and sleep nursing throughout the night, to sleeping 8 hours at a time in his crib and another few with me. He is even able to self soothe throughout the night, and it all happened without crying! My partner and I sleep better, there's no guilt involved, and it's all thanks to this book. We still have work to do, but every time I listen to this book, we make sleep progress. Thank you for saving my sanity!

Ranting
This is a dreadful rant full of propaganda and starting with a bunch of legal caveats protecting her from lawsuits. For good reason, as the book itself is like listening to your know-it-all second cousin who is happy to tell you how to sleep train your child because she caught you looking tired with your baby at a family function.
If you are looking for an unscientific rant based on email testimonials, the author's husband's opinion, and lots of uneducated advice from anyone the author could find to argue for her point of view - THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU!
If you are actually interested in learning techniques to help your baby sleep based on an actual Doctor - IT IS NOT.
If you aren't sure what's best for you and your baby and want some scientific information delivered in a non-judgmental format that's an easy read/listen, read Brain Rules for Baby by John Medina.
If you want to learn the Sears method for sleep training, just read the Dr Sears books. Don't waste your money on this.

Highly biased, not fair towards all methods
Any additional comments?
I was hoping for an unbiased and full account of the different sleeping methods. This book is not it - this book is extremely harsh and judgmental towards parents who chose to use CIO/CC methods, despite their proven track record. Parents should NOT feel guilt-tripped into/out of certain methods because of an author's agenda.
The book also isn't a program, as the author tries to sell it. The author will have you write a sleep log (and lord the sleep log examples don't translate well into an audiobook, by the way), and then try a scattershot of methods until you find something that works for you. I'm not saying her techniques aren't useful - many of them are. But there is no coherent program here.
It's also worth noting that the author, a self-styled expert, has no credentials to speak of. She has run a pseudo-scientific trial and proclaims a virtually 100% success rate, which should make you suspicious.

Gentle, Loving and Caring
What did you love best about The No-Cry Sleep Solution?
This book is from one Mommy to many mommies out there who haven't been able to get a good night's sleep.
This is not a book for quick fixes. I am an exhausted parent myself, and I just finished listening to this book, but I am willing to try the techniques and give it a go.
The techniques are gentle and loving, and the author has developed them through her own experience, and not some made up theory.
What did you like best about this story?
There is no place for blame with this book. So, it feels like you are in a support group, because you have many statements from many moms who felt just as exhausted as I feel now.
Have you listened to any of Susan Ericksen’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Nope. First time. And I must say that if I come across another book narrated by her, I will gladly listen to it. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Exhausted parents need rescue
Any additional comments?
If you are looking for some agressive technique to get your baby to sleep through the night immediately, this book is not for you.
This book is more about attatchment parenting, and tries to show ways to tuck your baby in with no crying, as gently as possible. I recommend it.

helpful book
I'm an Infant Sleep Trainer, and I found the info in this book to be consistent with most of the current sleep research. With my own daughter, I did cry-it-out and accomplished in 3 nights what it will take Pantley's followers several (sleepless, anxious) weeks to accomplish...and yes, my daughter and I have a close nurturing relationship. But, with my clients who want to avoid all crying, I employ her solid methods.
