Getting a young child to go to sleep and stay asleep is one
of the most challenging aspects of parenting. Yet many
parents resign themselves to enduring years of exhaustion.
Practical help is not easy to find, and much of the
available advice stresses letting even very young babies
"cry it out," an option that is not comfortable for many
parents. Kim West, known to her clients as The Sleep
Lady® ,
has developed an alternative and effective approach that is
gentler on both parent and child. West emphasizes that sleep
is a learned skill and explains how parents can teach
children to sleep, even at an early age. She starts with
newborns, showing parents how to avoid sleep problems from
the beginning. And she has solutions for older babies and
children who have developed poor bedtime, nighttime, or nap
time habits. The Sleep Lady method--including a gentle,
practical, step-by-step program called The Sleep Lady
Shuffle--has proven effective for hundreds of families. West
has spent more than a decade successfully teaching parents
how to help their children sleep soundly and independently
through the night. She provides specific, achievable
guidelines that work, while also taking into account the
values, lifestyles, and parenting styles unique to each
family. Most parents who adopt The Sleep Lady Shuffle see
dramatic improvements in a few weeks, if not days. Good
Night, Sleep Tight contains age-specific chapters from birth
through five years old, in which West succinctly outlines
what action to take; discusses important developmental
changes; provides sample waking, feeding, and napping
schedules; advises how to use The Sleep Lady Shuffle; and
lays out common problems and solutions. Included throughout
are real-life testimonies and anecdotes from parents West
has assisted. Good Night, Sleep Tight also discusses
co-sleeping, bedtime strategies for twins and siblings, and
dealing with nightmares and illnesses. West even offers tips
on how to minimize sleep disruption when families travel or
experience other breaks in routine. Essential reading for
any tired parent, or any expectant parent who wants to avoid
the pitfalls of sleeplessness, Good Night, Sleep Tight
offers a practical, gentle, easy-to-follow remedy that will
work for all families in need of nights of peaceful slumber.
