Good Night Sleep Tight: The Sleep Ladys Gentle Guide to Helping Your Child Go to Sleep, Stay Asleep, and Wake Up Happy

"I read this book when my son was about 9months old and I was exhausted. It saved my life, or certainly my nighttime. Very helpful. It's not rocket science, but it helps to guide an exhauted and weary parent through allowing your child to figure out how to put him/herself to sleep. My son is now nearing 2 and I am still thankful everyday."

"This book literally saved my sanity. My son was co-sleeping and practically nursing all night long. Not to mention naps were very difficult. I wasn't getting any sleep until I found this book. I'm a firm believer that every child is unique and you have to do what's right for you so I was able to adjust the method to work for me and my son. It worked miracles. Within a week my son was sleeping through the night in his own crib. After I had my second son I used this book as well. It has helped me so much. Now I am a much happier mommy with much happier babies:)"

"I must admit that I was skeptical at first, but I am happy to say that Kim West's methods really work. I was very pleasently surprised. Our baby has gone from waking up a minimum of three to up to six times per night to now one waking at around 5AM. And I think there is still room for improvement on that as we are still in the middle of our "sleep training". I would encourage you to give the book and methods a try even if you are a skeptic like I was. Just be prepared for things to get worse for several nights before they get better... but it is well worth the sacrifice for a week in my mind.

It is also worth mentioning that our baby was not able to fall asleep unless she was feeding. The feeding calmed her down, which is natural, and eventually soothed her to sleep. This is the only way that she knew how to fall asleep. Now she can fall asleep on her own without having to be feeding to do so.

Good luck! "

"This book allows us to give our child the marvolous gift of learning to soothe themselves. The method WORKS! For those of you that judge the book after one night of crying...you are missing the wonderful results that come after 1 or 2 nights of crying...and 2 or 3 weeks of total training...THE RESULT IS many years of being able to fall asleep by themselves, soothe themselves, and stay asleep. With the Sleep Lady's method my son cried the first couple of days, yes, but even though it was hard to hear I knew that by being with him in the room I was making sure he was fine and the crying was just a period of adjustment. I taught my son with this method when he was 8 months old, after only 2 nights of some crying, and 2 weeks of staying up in his crib for maybe an 1 hr (without crying) while I was still in the room, self-learning a soothing technique (I did use pacifiers at first)...HE DID IT, he learn to go to sleep by himself and to this day (he is 4 years old) he has sleept for 10-11 hrs straight every single night of his life!!!! Even when he is sick and might awaken for a few moments, or have to be waken up for medicine, I can just after kissing him goodnight turn around and leave the room and peacefully from my baby monitor witness that he can fall asleep all by himself again. It's a great feeling and I owe it to the Sleep Lady Shuffle! I'm sure my little one thanks me for that :-)"

"At 5 months my son would only fall asleep in our bed, with pacifier in his mouth and me holding his hand. Then he was up every hour and half to nurse. I was so sleep deprived I could barely do anything around the house, so my friend gave me this book. At 5 month and two weeks my son was sleeping through the night, falling asleep by himself, in his crib and without pacifier!!!!! He never cried for more than 5 minutes when we were teaching him!!!!!!!!!! I am soooooo happy this book exists!!!!!!!!!!!"
