A lifesaver for any busy parent. Top Tips from the Baby Whisperer: Sleep: Secrets to Getting Your Baby to Sleep through the Night
I through this book across the room many times. Because I had tried crying-it-out, I was offended over and over again by reoccurring phrases telling me that my baby doesn't trust me any more. He trusts me! He trusts me in MANY aspects of life, maybe, MAYBE, he doesn't trust me to not come running when he wakes up crying, and I regret that, OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE I'M READING A SLEEP-HELP BOOK!
It's stupid to insult your readers.
And, worst of all, this book doesn't actually help... at all. It says things like, If your baby is doing this, it's because of this, this, and this. And I say, Yes. Thank you. I know that. TELL ME WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT!!!
Needless to say, I hate this book, and my son still wakes up all night. Thanks for nothing, stupid book! Top Tips from the Baby Whisperer: Sleep: Secrets to Getting Your Baby to Sleep through the Night Some useful ideas, but the writing could have been better. Occasionally more diligent editing could have helped. The advice wasn't always very clear and I often had questions about how it would work in practice. The style was also annoyingly condescending. The term accidental parenting is particularly obnoxious. But then again, I'm a sceptical reader of parenting books at best, so it might just be me. Top Tips from the Baby Whisperer: Sleep: Secrets to Getting Your Baby to Sleep through the Night Useful but a little stress-inducing too. I went into this book because i've been very interested into parenting books and the likes, since i've become a mom, and even if my son doesn't really have troubles sleeping, i'm always looking into different ways on how to just do things the best way I can for my baby. But though I thought that Tracy Hogg's advice were handy and helpful it was also very limited. I'm just a very anxious type of person so if my son's profile didn't fit the pattern described in this book, it would kind of worry ME even more which I really don't need since I'm doing a fine job at it by myself ;)I did finish it as it was a very quick read, but without any intentions of following everything to the letters. Some tips I borrowed and others I just simply skipped.
I would say that this book will be very beneficial for parents who thrive on schedules and routines but for the others who are just the opposite or in-between like myself, you might want to take it with a grain of salt. Top Tips from the Baby Whisperer: Sleep: Secrets to Getting Your Baby to Sleep through the Night informative read but I do agree with some of the other reviews about the author playing blame on parents and also inducing some stress. most of what I've gleaned from this and other sleep training tips and method is that they all emphasis having a routine. what type of routine seems to be based on what works best but promotes sleep time. although my baby is only 5 weeks old and too young to sleep train, I've noticed she does respond to having a darkened area, especially at night, with sleeping. she also sometimes soothes herself a bit when she stirs. she has cat naps in her crib but sleeps in a bassinet on my room for now. I do try to place get in the crib at night and she'll last a bit before I take care of her. just trying to get her used to it little by little but nothing too extreme. I'll keep what I've read in mind and see how it goes when the time comes that she can be in her crib all night. Top Tips from the Baby Whisperer: Sleep: Secrets to Getting Your Baby to Sleep through the Night Useful, well worth the Kindle price, but also anger-inducing in that it seems to blame parents for all babies' sleeping problems. I can almost picture the author rolling her eyes at her clients. You DON'T have your baby on a 4-hour feeding schedule? Kind of condescending but also has helpful tips. I would pick some recs and ignore others, such as having a baby fall asleep ON A PILLOW on the floor and then transferring both to a crib. Pick up/put down method very helpful! I did s modified version that was somewhat successful in getting my 8-month old to nap in the crib again after every time he got in, he screamed!

Life-changing!!! Short, sweet and straight to the point. Her methods aren't easy but they're effective and don't involve traumatizing your baby by having him cry it out on his own. My 5 mo old has never napped in his crib, and 2 days after picking up this book he's napping in it as I type! Top Tips from the Baby Whisperer: Sleep: Secrets to Getting Your Baby to Sleep through the Night As with most parenting books you have to judge what works for you, your partner, your child and all the many variables. This book comes across quite no-nonsense, you want to be fairly confident I your parenting to be able to take away the information without crumbling under the ideas of trust, comfort and weak will-power. Whilst the EASY routine was something appealing there are other tips that were not. I think it is important to note this book was published a while ago and new parents should take this into account when reading. Top Tips from the Baby Whisperer: Sleep: Secrets to Getting Your Baby to Sleep through the Night The book gave a lot of useful, practical information that may appear to be common sense, but in the heat of the crying moment we parents forget. Tracy Hogg came across as a kind soul who loved and respected people of all ages. I really appreciated that she did not take a hard line on breastfeeding and admitted that it is more important for families to do what is necessary for them. Top Tips from the Baby Whisperer: Sleep: Secrets to Getting Your Baby to Sleep through the Night Good quick read that gives me some tools to consider with my 9-mo old. She has never been a great sleeper and I think this book will help. I have not yet tried her techniques, but they seem logical and I would feel comfortable with helping my little one to sleep in such a gentle and reassuring way. Top Tips from the Baby Whisperer: Sleep: Secrets to Getting Your Baby to Sleep through the Night Only took about an hour to read and I felt it gave me the tools to get Lily sleeping through the night again!
