The Exhausted Parent's Guide to Getting Your Child to Sleep from Birth to Age 5
The Exhausted Parent's Guide to Getting Your Child to Sleep from Birth to Age 5

Review:We put off "sleep training" for too long, assuming it would be so much worse than it actually was. My husband and I and our 10 month old finally hit the braking point--we were all continually exhausted from the night time wake-ups and it was impacting each of us in different ways. We followed the plan in this book exactly and in just two nights our daughter was sleeping through the night with no tears. Highly recommend this helpful book. We didn't read it in its entirety, but skipped ahead to th... Read more

and Behavior--Beyond the Basics from Infancy Through Toddlerhood
and Behavior--Beyond the Basics from Infancy Through Toddlerhood

Review:I saw first hand how this information can really help new moms. Our daughter used this book on both grandkids,
one girl, one boy...so far. She had them sleeping through the night before they were 3 months old, and both children are just a bundle of love and joy. When we babysit, we know exactly what to do, and there is no question about how
they feel or is this ok. Both grandkids were taking naps at the same time each day, when the youngest was less
than 3 months and the oldest was ... Read more

The Complete Baby Sleep Guide for Modern Parents - Precious Little Sleep

Review:After purchasing and reading an embarrasing number of sleep books, I am happy to report I finally found the best of the bunch! Precious Little Sleep offers advice on guiding your baby to sleep without assistance or crutches. The book is written in a way that makes it easily absorbed and understood...even while reading at 3am on your iphone while nursing baby back to sleep! I am happy to say that with the help of the book and Facebook group, my sweet 7mo old baby is now sleeping through the night... Read more

A Step-by-Step Program for Sleep-Training Your Multiples

Review:Great book!! No sleep methods works for all babies and I admit I've had to tailor this method a bit to suit our twins, but overall it's wonderful. Lots of really sensible advice. I would recommend to all twin parents! Read more

The Science-Backed Guide to Helping Your Baby Get a Good Night's Sleep-Newborn to School Age
The Science-Backed Guide to Helping Your Baby Get a Good Night's Sleep-Newborn to School Age

Review:Very helpful research based information. Well organized and clear answers to lots of questions. I like this perspective and balanced approach. It is not “cry it out in sheeps clothing” as other reviewers have said- trust me, I’m a breastfeeding, baby wearing, co sleeping mom- but some babies/ kids have to fuss a little as they go to sleep to get that frustration out. There’s a difference between a “I’m frustrated” cry and a distressed cry.
That being said, I have chosen not to sleep train my ... Read more

Use Your Child's Internal Sleep Rhythms for Better Nights and Naps
Use Your Child's Internal Sleep Rhythms for Better Nights and Naps

Review:Read this book just before my baby turned four months. Simple read, to the point and actually works. Restored sanity in my home and has saved my marriage too. Before I did not even have time to shower, baby was sleep deprived and fussy, and all evenings I was perched up on the couch nursing and holding her in my arms. Nights involved upto 6 feedings.
Now baby's schedule is predictable, have time to do stuff and she's in bed early to meet her required sleep hours.
Happy household!!!
I ju... Read more

Parenting Your Five to Twelve-Month Old Through the Babyhood Transition
Parenting Your Five to Twelve-Month Old Through the Babyhood Transition

Review:I bought the original Babywise book before my daughter was born and it worked like a charm. However, this book is a lot less in-depth than the first one. I wish it talked more about different nap and sleeping styles. It assumes that just because you followed the first book your babies naps will automatically fall into a certain pattern. Not the case for my baby. She really is a fabulous sleeper and slept thru the night since 2 months old (11pm to 7am). However, now that she is getting to b... Read more

Gentle Proven Solutions to Help Your Child Sleep Well and Wake Up Happy
Gentle Proven Solutions to Help Your Child Sleep Well and Wake Up Happy

Review:This book saved my sanity and totally changed my life. My 8 month old would only sleep when he was held. Day and night. No body was sleeping well. Baby was cranky and I missed spending any time it's my husband. I did not want to do a CIO sleep training. The Shuffle worked wonders for my family. After the first night my baby not only slept in his crib but was so much happier! 1 month later and he takes all his naps in his cribs, goes right down, is nearly sleeping through the night, and my whole...

The Good Girl's Guide to Female Dominance - The Mistress Manual
The Good Girl's Guide to Female Dominance - The Mistress Manual

Review:I only chose this rating because I was looking for something else. I am still in search of the perfect Domme book. That being said I'm not sure what I was looking for, but I didn't find it in this book. This was for sure something to read if you have ZERO experience in the scene at all. If you are completely lost and haven't even looked anything up online about the subject, you will enjoy this book. The only part I found helpful was coordinating which styles fit which type of Domme. I am ho... Read more

Mom's One Line a Day: A Five-Year Memory Book
Mom's One Line a Day: A Five-Year Memory Book

Review:First the package arrived, I opened the book and it was bound backwards so if I want to write in it I have to open it from the back. I thought about returning it, but didn't want to deal with that. It literally just had blank lines where you can write. I suggest just recording it on your computer and saving it/printing it or making something like this yourself. Definitely not worth the purchase. Read more
