THE LULL-A-BABY SLEEP GUIDE

The No-Cry Sleep Solution for Your Baby (Part 1)

An essential guide to improving a child’s sleep quality for better growth and development.

When you say “good night” to your baby, do you say it through clenched teeth, knowing the night is going to be anything but good? Has getting your baby to sleep for the night become a major struggle or a complicated routine? Is the middle of the night in your household a torture of interrupted sleep, hours spent with a crying baby, or at best an awake baby, placid but definitely not sleeping?

It ends now with this book. It ends with you learning techniques and plans for getting your baby to go to sleep at night when you want him to, without your having to drive him around and around the block in your car, stay in his room with him for two hours, or go through any other complex routine.

Sleep troubles come in many forms, but the four-month sleep regression of a baby can be easily distinguished from other issues if parents know what to look for. Newborns wake only when they are done sleeping or when they have a competing need, such as hunger, discomfort, or needing a diaper change.

Around the third or fourth month, everything changes, and parents may find that their babies who once spent six to nine hours asleep at night are now waking every one to two!

Those deep, dark hours of the night can be very painful. However, parents should also understand how magical, beautiful, and joyful this time of their life can be, too.

Solve Your Child's Sleep Problems: Helping Your Child Develop Good Sleep Practices

Baby sleep training is pretty much simple— it’s about getting your baby to sleep. But it does not, and will not, end there. After your baby has gone to dreamland, there are instances when he’ll wake up in the middle of the night, and then won’t go to sleep, no matter how much you beg for him to do it. Baby sleep training is getting your baby to sleep, and helping him stay asleep through the night.

Whether you are pregnant, a young parent or an experienced one who wants to resemble all the peculiarities of early motherhood, anyone will benefit and find something useful for him/herself. 

Some babies will be able to develop a regular sleeping habit with little help. Others will have a difficult time. During those difficult times, you’ll need help. And this book will be your guidance.

Don’t worry, once your baby gets used to a certain routine, he’ll be able to stick to it. It is just a matter of starting it right,

When can you incorporate baby sleep training? 

Newborn will typically have no problems getting sleep. All they will be doing day in and day out is sleep because they are still trying to adjust to the outside world. During these times, when the baby cries, be sure to be immediately at his side. This will help him develop trust, knowing that whenever something is wrong, someone will be there to tend to him.

You will find there more information about rituals, sleeping techniques, before sleeping games and a great deal of other useful secrets for young parents. The answers will be composed by me as a psychologist, not a mom, this time.
