Book Review: The only book on sleep worth reading
Summary: 5 Stars
I've found no other book that offers a truly balanced, evidence-based look at sleep in babies and toddlers. While the author seems to try too hard to be kind to everyone, despite the evidence that shows some practices wanting, she still offers the most science-based look at sleep available. And, thus, the tips are offered within a context that makes them truly valuable to parents.
Summary of In Search of Sleep: Straight Talk About Babies, Toddlers and Night Waking
"Is he sleeping through the night?" Put this question to any new parent and you'd better brace yourself for the response. In a society that equates a sleeping baby with a good baby, night waking has become perhaps the most emotionally-charged parenting issue of all. In Search of Sleep offers a unique and welcome approach to a timeless topic. Author Bonny Reichert - a journalist and mother of two - decided after her first child was born that waking to comfort a crying baby in the wee hours isn't a mistake - it's a choice. Here, she delves into the sleep issue with intelligence, sensitivity, and humour. Based on a survey conducted by Today's Parent magazine. Reichert's work is peppered with advice and sympathetic words from the parents of night wakers. Readers will find: - A review of popular sleep training techniques and the science of sleep cycles - An exploration of the myths that surround night waking - An examination of the effects that the generation gap, culture and expert advice can have on parents - A treasure-trove of coping strategies Encompassing a range of parenting styles and sleep practices, In Search of Sleep offers a refreshingly rational and open-minded antidote to an often irrational discussion.(2001)General Books
