This is book is excellent in helping parents understand the sleep process and their baby! Dr. Sears beautifully explains what are realistic and unrealistic sleep expectations of your infant. Instead of making sleeptime a struggle, Dr. Sears shows you how it can be one of the sweetest and most beautiful experiences parents and child can have. He lets you see that your child is not trying to manipulate or exert power over you. Your child is just doing what she is supposed to do - be a baby! I believe this book is a must for every parent! It will help you truly understand what sleep is all about and that it should be a warm, loving and happy time for the whole family.
