Worked great
By Jennifer MacFarlane
“We researched ALL the sleep books and decided on this one. Her system worked in 3 days! Our daughter really “learned” how to sleep…so grateful for this knowledge and the gentle approach to sleep training.”
Finally! A system that worked for us!
By TCP
“I tried crying-it-out with my baby and it felt like it broke both of us. I tried no-cry and it was like walking on egg shells with total sleep deprivation. This book is a gentle compromise between the two methods. I really appreciated that the author talks about the “exceptions” and basically every possible scenario. I highly recommend this book to parents of sleepless children at any age!!!”
Best method out there
By Kathryn Henry
“Finally a method that worked for us! My son was 14 months and still waking up 3+ times a night to nurse. When I started this method with him it was like he wanted to learn how to sleep. It only took 2 weeks and he is a rock star sleeper AND I can put him in his crib awake at night and he talks himself to sleep. This book step by step leads you through it all and gives you the freedom to do what you only feel comfortable with.”
Perfect for a busy {tired} mom
By Lindsay Chung
“If you read my review of The Sleep Lady’s Good Night Sleep Tight, you know that I absolutely love her technique. I was having some terrible trouble getting my girls to go to bed and sleep through the night and was in desperate need of some help. I followed her techniques and was able to consistently sleep until my alarm went off. That was unheard of in my home.

Hi.

Newborns are a lot of work. They’re completely dependent on you for everything. They need to eat around the clock, they don’t know how to fall asleep independently, or self-sooth. Your baby may not be ready for sleep training until about 6 months, but that doesn’t mean you can’t prepare or encourage good sleep behaviors now. I have lots of great tips for you to gently help your newborn get off to a great sleep start

Disclaimer
I believe in running my business with absolute integrity. When describing actual results from my clients, the FTC requires that I also disclose what a “typical” result looks like. Certainly, some customers never follow through with the techniques and see no improvement, but if the thousands of thank you notes I’ve received over the years are any indication, these sleep plans work surprisingly well if you follow the instructions with your child.
