My mom bought the book 'The Secret Language of Babies' for me recently. I love all the pictures and baby cues 'about what you baby is saying' so far so good.
Once upon a time, our little guy was amazing sleeper. He slept in his cradle or his crib all by himself the entire night { except for feedings} Now not so much, he's mostly in our bed. We need to break this habit, but I personally I can't do the 'cry-it-out' method, hearing my baby cry for a long period of time would be too upsetting. So when I came across The No Cry Sleep Solution I thought I'd give it a chance. I found the book at The Goodwill.
Mommy Tip: Shop the thrift stores for Child Developmental books! Usally they The Goodwill has a ton, just skip past the outdated ones and look for the books that are new, with topics that interest you. Trust me you'll never know what you'll find.
Here's a better look at the book
I'm only a few chapters in, trying my best not to skip ahead, lol. This Mamma needs some sleep, and if you ever slept with a little one in your bed then know you get almost zero sleep. When I start applying the sleep techniques in the book, I'll be be back with a review
What are you reading right now? Any baby books like me? Or please feel free to suggest a 'grown-up book' that's a must read!
I have not read any baby books yet (shame on me) I have been trying to allow Asa time in his crib everyday so that he sleeps in his room more comfortably. Please do share any tips you found helpful.
ReplyDeleteAvery 'hangs out' in his crib during the day, but at night his not feeling it, I hope this book helps us! :)

Ughh! Sleep troubles! We are right there with you!
ReplyDeleteLast night, our little one stayed in her crib the whole night! She only needed us to go in and calm her once! I wish we knew what we did right, though... tonight she totally fought us on bedtime. She's currently sleeping on her crib mattress on her bedroom floor Montessori style. I'm not psyched about it, but at least she's not in our bed? (I really like having her in our bed. But it's not the best for either of our sleep!)
