Summary of Suzy Giordano & Lisa Abidin's The Baby Sleep Solution

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The first step in training your baby to sleep through the night is to get them to sleep for twelve hours at night, one hour in the morning, and two hours in the afternoon. This is what I call the quick fix because it is a short-term solution that turns into a daily habit. #2 A new baby should not dictate the when, where, and how of normal family life. Babies are adaptable, and they should be exposed to all facets of family life. Otherwise, the existing family ends up living in a fearful and tense environment in which even breathing is frowned upon. #3 Parents need to be empowered to make decisions for their families. Do not feel like you have to incorporate every piece of parenting advice that you hear. You are the ultimate decision maker when it comes to raising your child. #4 The skill of sleeping soundly is as important as learning how to talk, walk, and other milestones in a baby’s mental and physical development. You should therefore encourage good sleep skills by giving your baby the opportunity to self-soothe and fall asleep without you or other aids.
