Book Reviews of The Baby Sleep Solution: A Proven Program to Teach Your Baby to Sleep Twelve Hours aNight
Book Review: MUST READ THIS REVIEW! - Amazing book - GREAT for new parents!
Summary: 5 Stars
As a first-time Mom, I bought this book because I went browsing through the self-help section in my local book store, and the front cover "A Proven Program to Teach Your Baby to Sleep Twelve Hours a Night" caught my eye. I skimmed through and read the outlined topics and HAD to buy it.
My daughter is now 2 years old. She has been sleeping straight through the night since 3 months old, only 3 weeks after buying and utilizing the easy to follow tools and instructions in this book. I would recommend this book to any parent who is sleep deprived, in fact, I have bought 3 more copies and given them as gifts to all my new parent friends! I do, however, recommend this book more for formula-fed babies than breast-fed, only because its a little bit more difficult to determine the ounces your baby has eaten when breastfed.
To those of you who suggest this is a non-nutritionally sound practice, teaching your baby to go for 12 hours without food, you are completely wrong. Did you READ the book?? If you read the book front to back, it explains that you should NOT start this book until certain guidelines have been met. One of the criteria being that your baby should be eating 24oz. of breast milk or formula in a 24 hour period, which is the minimum requirement for a growing baby. Also, when starting the training, you START by increasing the feedings through the daytime hours to 24oz, THEN proceed to eliminate the nightime feedings, all the while your baby is STILL receiving the 24oz. recommendation through a 24 hour period. You are not starving your child, just teaching them to develop a daytime-eat, nighttime-sleep pattern. My daughter has NEVER been below 75th percentile for her weight since inplementing this program, and still to this day is a perfectly healthy, thriving toddler!
As far as this book being the same as any other book - that is also not true. I found this book alot easier to understand on a more basic sleep-deprived level. Its very straight forward with many examples to help you understand the task at hand. There are photo-copyable log sheets to complete on a daily basis for your own proof that the program is actually working and to not give up. She utilizes 'toolboxes', ideas and suggestions, to help you get through the next hour before the next scheduled feeding. The BEST part about this book is because you're able to read this book completely in a few hours, its geared toward the parents who do not have the TIME to sit and read through those other 300+ page sleep books! "...You will be able to read the key sections of this manual in two hours." - (exerpt taken from the book)
In all, Suzy Giordano has YEARS of experience training families of multiples (twins, triplets, etc.) to implement her program in their own lifestyle. She references her 'business' only to show her years of experience, not to promote the company. Ask yourself this: If she was REALLY trying to promote her business, why would she give away her secrets in a paperback book for only $10, causing herself to actually lose prospective clients?? The book serves as guidelines and suggestions, and isn't required to follow PERFECTLY, you can conform the schedule to fit your lifestyle.
I am no longer a sleep-deprived MOM since I have been getting 12 hours of sleep myself since my daughter was 3 month's old. I love to brag about my success with this book to other new moms and even to my pediatritian, who is amazed at the fact that this is even possible! Do not be skeptical - this book really works if you have the mindset and dedication to follow through. Remember the 7-day rule: "Bad habits take three days to make, and seven days to break." Look forward to the goal, use the log sheets to show yourself its working, and you'll both be sleeping before you know it!
Sorry this review is so long - I hope it helps all of you decide to give it a try!

Summary of The Baby Sleep Solution: A Proven Program to Teach Your Baby to Sleep Twelve Hours aNight
Suzy Giordano, affectionately known as "The Baby Coach," shares her highly effective sleep-training method in this step-by-step guide to let both baby and parent enjoy long, peaceful nights. Full of common sense and specific tips, the Baby Coach's plan offers time- and family-tested techniques to help any baby up to the age of 18 months who has trouble sleeping through the night.
Originally developed for newborn multiples, this sleep-training method worked so well with twins and triplets that families with singletons and older babies began asking Suzy to share her recipe for success, resulting in: regular feeding times; 12 hours' sleep at night; three hours' sleep during the day; peace of mind for parent and baby; and less strain on parents - and their marriage. This edition includes a new chapter on implementing the program with babies up to 18 months.
