Right after “Is it a boy or a girl?” and «What's his/her name?,” the next question people invariably ask new parents is “Are you getting any sleep?” Unfortunately, the answer is usually “Not much.” In fact, studies show that approximately 25% of young children experience some type of sleep problem and, as any bleary-eyed parent will attest, it is one of the most difficult challenges of parenting.
Drawing on her ten years of experience in the assessment and treatment of common sleep problems in children, Dr. Jodi A. Mindell now provides tips and techniques, the answers to commonly asked questions, and case studies and quotes from parents who have successfully solved their children's sleep problems.
Unlike other books on the subject, Dr. Mindell also offers practical tips on bedtime, rather than middle-of-the-night-sleep training, and shows how all members of the family can cope with the stresses associated with teaching a child to sleep.

    One way to tell if your child is waking before getting enough sleep is to look at her behavior during the day. Does she seem more sleepy than usual? Does she return to sleep an hour or two after her early morning rising? Remember, it is rare for an infant or toddler to need less than nine or ten hours of sleep per night. So if your child is waking after less than ten hours of sleep, look for reasons.

      If your baby falls asleep while you are nursing him, wake him before putting him in his crib. To succeed at getting your baby to sleep through the night put him in his crib awake so that he puts himself to sleep. Your baby may not like having you wake him and may even cry, but this will last only for a short time. In a few days you will not need to breast-feed at sleep times and can simply put him in his crib awake.

        Involve others. If your baby usually falls asleep while breast-feeding, it will be hard for him not to associate sleep with breast-feeding. To counteract this, get someone else involved in putting your baby to sleep and responding to him in the middle of the night. Once your baby begins sleeping through the night you can go back to responding to him. Your baby will have developed other soothing techniques and have other ways to cope with going back to sleep, other than just wanting to nurse. You can ask the baby’s father, a sitter, a friend, or a grandparent to put your baby to sleep and go to him during the night when he wakes for several nights.
