It's Never Too Late to Sleep Train

The Low-Stress Way to High-Quality Sleep for Babies, Kids, and Parents

By: Craig Canapari MD

Narrated by: Sean Runnette

From a leading pediatric sleep physician comes a revolutionary program that will have everyone in the house sleeping through the night.

When Dr. Craig Canapari became a father, he realized that all his years of 36-hour hospital shifts didn't even come close to preparing him for the sleep deprivation that comes with parenthood. The difference is that parents don’t get a break—it’s hard to know if there’s a night of uninterrupted sleep anywhere in the foreseeable future. Sleepless nights for kids mean sleepless nights for the rest of the family—and a grumpy group around the breakfast table in the morning.

In It's Never Too Late to Sleep Train, Canapari helps parents harness the power of habit to chart a clear path to high-quality sleep for their children. The result is a streamlined two-step sleep training plan that focuses on cues and consequences, the two elements that shape all habits and that take on special importance when it comes to kids’ bedtime routines.

Dr. Canapari distills years of clinical research and experience to make sleep training simple and stress-free. Even if you’ve been told that you’ve missed the optimal "window" for sleep training, Dr. Canapari is here to prove that it's never too late, whether your child is 6 months or 6 years old. He's on your side in the battle against bedtime, and with his advice, parents and children alike can expect a lifetime of healthy sleep.

Great resource for sleep training!

This book is very well written and full of amazing techniques for sleep training at any age. I was having trouble with my 2 and a half year old daughter waking up in the night anywhere from 1 to 10 times per night. I work physical labor and just couldn’t take the zombie state anymore. Many techniques in this book helped tremendously. I actually saw a total change in less than a week with information just from the first 2 chapters. If you are having problems with your kid’s sleep, I would definitely recommend giving this book a chance. The author also has a great sense of humor and makes many anecdotes to remind the parent that they aren’t crazy, raising kids can just be very difficult.

Great advice/great read

This book is fantastic. Lots of practical advice you can put in practice right away. Based on sound science and proven methods. Loved it!

Great tips for older children

Love that this book doesn’t shame you because of things you did or didn’t do when your child was younger. It gives you real tips to improve sleep and actions you can take NOW to improve your child’s sleep. This is helpful for children of all ages and addresses many issues including nursing to sleep, curtain calls after bedtime, setting appropriate bedtimes, etc. Loved it and would highly recommend!
