| Babies
need their sleep, but sometimes it seems like the hardest thing
in the world to get them to drift off. Parenting expert Pinky
McKay argues that controlled crying and other current trends are
restrictive and can add to the stress faced by parents.
A more natural, intuitive approach to settling your child, Sleeping
Like a Baby will help you understand normal infant sleep at each
stage of development, from birth to three years. McKay will teach
you to:
* Create a safe sleeping environment;
* Help your baby sleep naturally, without resorting to ‘cry
it out’ regimes;
* Read your baby’s body language so that learning to sleep
becomes a stress-free process for parent and child;
* Assist your baby’s sleep with natural aids such as massage
and music, and meditation for toddlers; and
* Ignore the pressure to implement ‘one size fits all’
baby management routines and feel confident that YOU are the expert
about YOUR baby’s sleep needs.
Sleeping Like a Baby is a must-read for stress-free parenting
– and a good night’s sleep.
