We had a fussy newborn who SCREAMED when sleeping alone...so, we let her sleep in our bed and nurse on demand (i.e., whenever she woke up) throughout the night. The problem was that we never got her out of our bed and she STILL, at 17 months, woke up 6-10 times per night to nurse herself back to sleep (which means so did I!). We are expecting another baby in January, so we needed her to sleep in her own bed, and most importantly, to sleep through the night.
Because she had learned such bad habits, I was convinced we would have to do cry it out all night long. I was against this idea, especially because she is so old and remembers so much from her day. The Happiest Baby provided an alternative option, even for an older child with TERRIBLE sleep habits. After reading this book, we made the following helpful changes:
1: White noise: amazing! my daughter is a light sleeper so this really helps drown out the noise. I can even do the dishes when she sleeps without waking her (I was never able to before)
2. Lovey and a nightlight: we didn't use either before, so we bought Twilight Turtle based on a friend's recommendation. LOVE IT and recommend it. We put it in her crib so that she can turn it on whenever she needs it.
3: Later bedtime: moved from 7:30 to 8:00; made a huge difference!
4: Longer and longer: Using this approach, my daughter still cried a little but it's not as cruel as cry it out
5: Suggestions from Happiest Toddler on the Block
My daughter had NEVER slept in her crib and hadn't learned to put herself back to sleep, so I thought the transition to the crib was going to be HORRIBLE But...it wasn't. The first night, she woke up only 3 times and fell asleep after 5, 10, and 5 minutes.
The following is a book review posted on [...] a pediatric blog for parents founded by pediatrician, Paul Smolen MD. ---- "After I founded my blog, I decided that knowing which parenting books were accurate, well written, and worth a read by parents might be very useful, so I started a book review section on my blog, dedicated to this purpose. One of the first books that my staff and I reviewed was written by a pediatrician named Dr. Karp that I am sure many of you are familiar with called The Happiest Baby on the Block. We loved this book and gave it a rave review, so we were very excited to start my evaluation of another of Dr. Karp's books in which he discusses the important pediatric topic of, sleep; something every pediatrician knows a fair amount about from our day to day experiences. So, here we go with a review of Dr. Karp's, Happiest Baby Guide to Great Sleep.
First, if you have not read one of Dr. Karp's books, you are in for a treat. His writing is easy to understand, well written, and very interesting as he likes to mix modern scientific sleep medicine with wisdom from ancient cultures. His chapters are well organized and finding useful, practical information is very easy to do. He stresses practical solutions to sleep problems that parents often face. Dr. Karp is also particularly good at giving memorable names to sleep techniques he wants you to remember like "Twinkle interruptus" aimed at getting rid of a child's paci at night, or "the Owie" geared to convince a child not to breast feed at night when they sleep in the same bed, or "Wake+Sleep" designed to allow children to be rocked and fed to sleep but also learn go to sleep on their own without further help from their parents... more about that later.
