Disappointing and Misleading – Not Aligned with Newborn Sleep Science

Initially, I loved this book while preparing for my newborn. However, once my baby arrived, things quickly fell apart. The suggested routines didn’t work for my baby, which led me to feel like I was failing. After struggling for weeks, I did further research and realized that most newborn sleep experts offer very different advice. It turns out that for the first 3-4 months, it’s completely normal for babies to have unpredictable naps of varied lengths and sometimes (or often) need help settling.

This book, however, implies that if your baby doesn’t follow its methods, the fault lies with you. I also discovered that in the book’s Facebook support group, they push the idea that books advice will only work if you purchase their specific bedding (no other brand is fine!) and, after 4 months, adhere to the rigid meal plan from her other book.

Save yourself the frustration and skip this book. Instead, look into more evidence-based resources about 0-5 month sleep. Focus on wake windows, encourage self-settling and crib sleep, but don’t blame yourself when things don’t go perfectly – it’s completely normal!

Still Cry It Out

I reached for this book as it was recommended to me, and it’s very clear that her methods are simply a variation of the Ferber method and self soothing as she would like to call It is “crying it out.” I was searching for a book that did not result with my baby and I in tears, and that is exactly what this would lead to. Very disappointed that I wasted my money on this read!

It works.

Simple easy to follow. It took our 4 month old 2 days to fall into the routine. He's 4 now and it saved us a lot of sleepless nights with baby #2 as well.
