Review: No-Cry Sleep Solution for Newborns

Review: No-Cry Sleep Solution   www.doula-care.com
        There is an unending stream of misinformation regarding babies and sleep  Often, parents feel like they have 2 choices: coping with frequent wakings or some form of "Cry It Out." But, Elizabeth Pantley offers up an elegant, compassionate and practical alternative: "The No-Cry Sleep Solution for Newborns."  
           Elizabeth Pantley is a mother of four and grandmother who approaches sleep with sensitivity and common sense.  She presents evidence-based information on how you can encourage healthy sleep habits from day one, while responding compassionately and individually to your baby.  I love that all of her information SUPPORTS healthy bonding and successful breastfeeding.  (Many Cry It Out methods jeopardize breastfeeding.)  
                With three children of my own and 13 years as a Postpartum Doula, I wasn't sure how much new information I would find,,,,I was delightfully surprised!  Like her other books, The No-Cry Sleep Solution for Newborns is easily approachable, no matter how tired/hormonal/exasperated you are.  You'll find clear techniques to help your baby sleep longer while avoiding many common pitfalls (like babies who want to be held, need to be in motion for every sleep event, or need a breast in their mouth to fall asleep).  
             I love that Pantley recognizes and respects both babies and parents as individuals and offers multiple options and strategies for different scenarios.  Her approach is gentle, and takes into consideration both newborn and parents' needs during the early weeks, while keeping an eye on the long-view.
              If all parents read this book before the birth, it could significantly alter the landscape of family life with a baby.  Even if you are expecting your fifth baby, this book can empower you with tools to maximize your baby's sleep potential while avoiding the common crutches many babies tend to develop.
