Book review: The No Cry Sleep Solution
The No Cry Sleep Solution is a baby-friendly answer to sleep training. The world of parenting offers many sleep solutions for fraught parents, but not all of them are ideal for your little one. The sleep techniques featured in The No Cry Sleep Solution do not involve methods such as crying it out. Find more about this sleep training guide in this article.
Why sleep train a baby in the first place?
As much as we would all love to be able to rise at multiple times a night without feeling tired the next day, that simply is not the case. In the early weeks and months of parenthood, it is normal to expect that your baby wake up several times a night, but as time goes on and you can't ignore the day-to-day responsibilities that you have, this becomes a problem. If you are looking to get your down time back, you might start considering to sleep train your baby. If you succeed at sleep training your little one, you will find that you are able to do more the next day and you will feel less tired.
What makes The No Cry Sleep Solution different?
Most sleep training guides include leaving a baby crying in sleep and techniques such as crying it out. Such techniques can leave some babies fractious and the experience can be upsetting for the entire family. The No Cry Sleep Solution takes a more gentle approach that says goodbye to the crying it out and controlled crying theories. Instead, gentle routines and calming techniques are introduced. For many babies these techniques prove to be effective. The No Cry Sleep Solution also takes the age of the baby into account and as such it includes toddler sleeping techniques. In addition to this it focuses on other factors such as how your baby is fed (breast or bottle) and how your baby currently sleeps (in his own crib or with you). Instead of taking a catch-all approach, The No Cry Sleep Solution can be tailored to your individual needs, making it more flexible than rigid plans.
Will The No Cry Sleep Solution work for me?
The No Cry Sleep Solution should work for the majority of parents. As it is so flexible and works on the basis that babies are individuals with individual sleeping needs, it will allow you to find a solution that is baby-friendly and successful.
It is a plan that takes more time than 'crying it out' and 'controlled crying' based plans. However, it is a plan that works based on comfort and as such it won't be easily disrupted.
