Synopsis
Sleep is one of the most misunderstood and confusing aspects of parenthood.
While many babies will naturally fall into a good sleep pattern, research shows that the majority do not; leading to months, and sometimes years, of stressful, sleepless nights for children and parents.
If your child is one of those who has trouble sleeping or you simply wish to avoid sleep problems for your new baby now, and as it grows older, Gina Ford's practical step-by-step guide should help you.
Drawing on years of experience helping thousands of parents establish healthy, happy sleeping habits for their children, Gina's tried and tested methods help parents understand their children's sleep patterns and give them invaluable advice on how to avoid or resolve the common problems of excessive nighttime waking, caused by hunger, colic, over-tiredness, nightmares and night-terrors.
The book contains: constructive advice dealing with bedtime battles, early morning waking, fear of the dark and poor daytime sleep; case histories explaining how particular feeding and sleeping patterns adopted during the day can affect nighttime sleep; and step-by-step guidance on feeding your baby or toddler to avoid nighttime waking.
