Your Baby Can Sleep: The practical, proven method for solving your baby's sleep problems

Dr. Tomares outlines five specific stages of achieving good sleep: creating good sleep associations, a bedtime routine, a transition period, crying, and "the plan." Much emphasis is given to these stages being learned processes, to the concept of incremental comforting, and to the distressing yet necessary stage of letting your child cry. Most impressive is Dr. Tomares's suggested day-by-day, minute-by-minute timetables for comforting a baby who cries at bedtime. Especially reassuring is the "sleep talk" segment in which Dr. Tomares hosts a question-and-answer session with concerned parents and answers many frequently asked questions.
