The Sensational Baby Sleep Plan

Book excerpt: Sleep is something all new parents want, both for themselves and their newborn babies. Now baby care consultant Alison Scott-Wright, known by her clients as "the magic sleep fairy," takes the stress and tension out of those early weeks and offers the ultimate plan that will ensure your baby sleeps soundly during the day, and for a full 12 hours during the night from around 8-10 weeks, without the need for night feeds! Based on your baby's natural eating and sleeping rhythms, this plan can be applied to breast- or bottle-fed babies, and will help parents recognize the cause of sleep problems, establish calm bedtime practices, manage sleep problems due to teething or illness, and identify and cope with reflux. Packed with tips, hints, and reminders, case studies, at-a-glance charts, and a daily journal to help you keep track of your baby's progress, this is a step-by-step, must-have manual for stress-free parenting.
