Everything you need to know about getting your baby or toddler to sleep -- from America's foremost baby and childcare experts.Babies don't automatically know how to sleep through the night; they need to be taught.

Instead of espousing the kind of "one method fits all" approach advocated in other baby sleep guides, the Sears family explains how you can create a sleep plan that suits the needs of your entire family.With a sharp focus on the practical tools and techniques, The Baby Sleep Book covers such topics as:the facts of infant sleep vs. adult sleepfiguring out where, when, and how your child sleeps bestfail-safe methods for soothing a crying infanthow to make night nursing easier, and how to stopnighttime fathering tipswhether co-sleeping makes sense for younap-time strategies that workmedical and physical causes of night wakingsleep habits in special situations such as traveling, teething, and illness - from Amzon
