When you are doing everything in your power to comfort a baby who just will not stop crying, when you are willing to feed her and hold her (all night!

Once we carried out our sleep plan, the whole family started sleeping well and we went back to enjoying and finding so much pleasure in each other's company. In either chapter 1 or 2 they say which chapters correspond to the age group of your child but you have to literally listen to the whole chapter to find out. After watching this class, you will have a clear sleep plan for your baby to sleep through the night. Don't try to explain something with scientific theory if you're going to immediately follow up with the disclaimer that "this may not work for you as all babies are different".Good sleep habits are vital to child development and overall health, and The Happy Sleeper offers real-world strategies for getting children the sleep they need. Chapters 3 to 5 have all the practical information, steps, and methods you need for your child's particular age, and for any issue or goal you have with sleep. In this class, we teach you the gentle and effective strategies -- proven through our work with thousands of families over the years -- to help parents get their 2-6 year old kids back to sleeping through the night.

However, we recommend using the Sleep Wave method (the main technique taught in this class) when your baby is closer to 5 months. For every sleep issue in your child's age range, we have a solution that is responsive and supportive and keeps your baby or child in charge of soothing and independent sleep (with the exception of little babies ages 0 to 4 months, who are gradually growing into this capacity). Warm, supportive parenting and a full night of independent sleep are not mutually exclusive'we're going to show you how they work together naturally and seamlessly. This is why we use the term “attunement” instead of “attach- ment”—so we can be clear about the goal. He gave the caveat that if you don’t stick with your sleep training method, you’re training your child to cry (they learn that x amount of crying will get them what they want and then they try to find x), so you have to be very firm with yourself.So now that we know the urgency of good sleep and elements you need to get it, let's look at the Happy Sleeper approach to getting there! We can tell if our baby actually needs something in the middle of the night or if he’s just settling himself, similar to what you’re seeing. However, if you observe carefully baby’s wake times you can implement this method with little or no crying.
