Having a newborn baby is a magical time for parents... until you hear your baby's screaming cries for the nth time. What could be better than watching your baby sleep? It's so calming and peaceful--you feel like you could just stare at them all day. Unfortunately, it probably only lasts for a few short minutes at a time. Inevitably, your baby wakes up and starts crying, and you have to go through a whole routine of figuring out what they need, calming them down, and putting them back to bed again. And you'll need to do this again, and again, and again; throughout the day and throughout the night. No wonder parents always complain about being exhausted! Bringing a baby into your life turns your whole routine upside down. Babies are entirely dependent on you, so much that you hardly get any time for yourself. Nap time was supposed to give you some much-needed me-time, but as you may now know, babies can be very unpredictable with their sleep. You may have asked friends and family for tips, or read articles and searched forums about babies' sleep tactics...and gotten hundreds of contradicting suggestions. If you're confused about what to do, with all the conflicting and misleading information out there, a useful guide providing proven methods for sleep training that really work can come in handy to clear up any uncertainty. In The Sleeping Baby Solution, here is just a fraction of what you will discover: A straightforward checklist to help you calmly figure out why your baby is crying, as well as how to properly soothe them based on their needs How to effectively communicate with your baby by listening closely for these 5 sounds that babies make The truth about these dangerous myths that can make your baby ill and even hinder their growth Why this timeless method of putting babies to sleep is beneficial not only for slumber, but also for brain development What you need to know about pacifiers before you give one to your baby How you can make the most out of nap time to be more productive in your everyday tasks while staying attuned to your baby's needs The perfect time to feed your baby so that they get the optimal amount and quality of sleep, and also keep you from being woken up multiple times throughout the night And much more. Being a new parent is already nerve-wracking enough without a sleep deficit. Trying to navigate parenthood without any sleep is nearly an impossible task. Don't try to be a hero and just power through the day even though you are dead-tired. This is not only bad for you, but also unsafe for your baby. Instead, work on fixing your baby's sleep schedule with the simple strategies discussed in this guide. Getting your baby's sleep pattern right today will save you years of sleep deprivation. You may even be so pleased with the results that you'll find yourself wanting to leave this book a glowing review.
