    About this ebook

    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.

      The Lull-A-Baby Sleep Guide 1 - Janet Vandenhoeck

      Imprint

      1. Introduction

      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? Is your baby's sleep schedule radically impairing your own, preventing you from getting anything close to your full complement of sleep? Are your eyes red and your nerves frayed? Are you and your spouse dragging your way through the days, suffering from a serious sleep deficit and wondering when it will end?

      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. Of course, if he's very young, he'll still wake up for feedings during the night at first, but he'll soon learn how to go back to sleep once he's full, instead of remaining awake. With the aid of this book, you'll learn how to help him get himself back to sleep when he wakes up for any reason.

      Do you want to know how to get your baby to go to sleep at a regular time each night, sleep well during the night, and nap sufficiently for her needs? Note that I didn't say sleep through the night. This is a misnomer. Babies don't literally sleep through the night any more than anyone else does. We all wake up at times during the night, but in most cases we roll over, settle down, go right back to sleep, and in all likelihood don't even remember the episode in the morning. Your baby can do the same. Do you want to help your baby to sleep well and get the rest he needs and help insure that the rest of your family also has a good night's sleep as a result? Read on! We are going to take a path that works with Mother Nature and Mother You.

      2. A Good Night's Sleep … for All

      A. The Importance of Sleep

      You want your baby to sleep well for all the obvious reasons … for his sake and for your own, as well as for the sake of everyone else in your household. A tired baby is a cranky baby, and a tired mom or dad is often cranky, too. An older sibling whose sleep has been disturbed for several nights is a child who not only may well become cranky, but is also more likely to become susceptible to germs that are floating around. Sleep is just as necessary as food or drink for a person's well-being. Without food and fluids, our bodies cannot function, cannot grow, and cannot survive. But sleep is just as important. It's essential for a person's good health (both physical and mental), and this is true for people of all ages, including new-borns and other babies. But
