Paperback. Condition: Good. Discover the best baby sleep method--gentle, science-backed, and inspired by the latest Nobel Prize-winning research--that shows you how to get your baby to sleep through the night naturally. Sleep--or the lack of it--is one of the most crucial issues for new parents. Newborn babies typically wake every two to three hours, and there's nothing bleary-eyed, exhausted parents want more than a night of uninterrupted sleep. But while there's plenty of advice out there, there is nothing that's based on the latest cutting-edge research about sleep--until now. In How Babies Sleep, Sofia Axelrod, PhD--neuroscientist, sleep consultant, and mother of two--introduces the first baby sleep method that is truly rooted in the science of sleep. After having her first child, Axelrod realized that the typical baby sleep advice conflicted with the actual science of sleep, inlcuding the findings from her mentor's Nobel Prize-winning sleep lab. She developed her transformative method based on the latest discoveries about our body's circadian clock and how it is disturbed by light and other external stimuli. After seeing incredible results with her own babies, she has since counseled countless families in her groundbreaking method--which works with babies' needs and helps little ones learn to self-soothe, fall asleep more easily, and stay asleep through the night. You'll discover helpful tips that work, and learn: why using a red lightbulb (instead of a regular one) in the nursery at night can minimize wakings; why the age-old advice "don't wake a sleeping baby" isn't true; how to create a healthy routine; how to sleep train gently with minimal crying (under two minutes); and so much more in this revolutionary and effective book that will help both you and your baby enjoy a peaceful night's sleep. …
