Straight-forward, practical advice on getting your baby to sleep. I like the fact that the author offers advice on how to put together a customized sleep plan based on your particular situation as opposed to a strict, one-size fits all method.

in theory, it didn't actually help me.

this is a great book. i can't say that i used the approach exactly as she suggests. but i had it in mind as i figured out a solution on my own (basically, i lie next to my baby; at first, i did it until she fell asleep but now i just lie there for a while and she is usually pretty good at

continuing to drift off on her own.) i know i will refer back to this book from time to time, especially when we transition her from our bed to a bed of her own.
