Full Description
Straightforward, loving, science-based approach to teach your baby how to get a good night's sleep
Written by renowned family therapist and sleep coach Chrissy Lawler, The Peaceful Sleeper offers an attachment-based, research-backed approach to baby sleep, ending the heated online debate of "sleep-training." With the understanding that knowing how to help your baby get good sleep can be overwhelming given the loud, contradictory voices doling out advice, Lawler relies on a flexible and personalized approach to share solutions that work for you and your family.
Readers will find insights on how to:
Use clues from your baby, plus science, to determine the best approach to sleep, allowing you to get results (and more sleep!) as quickly and efficiently as possible
Cut through the noise of misinformation on controversial topics like the cry-it-out method
Rise above frustrating platitudes like "babies will be babies; just endure it until they're older, and it might get better"
Manage sleep after sleep training, and navigate challenges like regressions, teething/illness, and schedule changes (like dropping naps)
The Peaceful Sleeper is a must-read resource for new and expecting parents who need trusted support to improve their baby's sleep as well as their own sleep and mental health. The book is also invaluable for experienced parents who struggled with sleep with their older children during the newborn phase and are looking for a new approach to sleep training.
