Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child
By Marc Weissbluth, M.D.
When my baby was very small, I remember one day when he kept crying and crying. Nothing made him happy. I tried everything I could think of to entertain him. Finally I decided that I would nurse him again, so I put him down on my lap. He was asleep in two seconds. I realized then that he was crying because he was so tired! He had only been awake for two hours, but two hours is a long time for a baby. Dr. Weissbluth says that no baby should be awake for more than two hours. Some babies are tired after only one hour! This was true of my baby. Sometimes after only one and a half hours, he would rub his eye and cry. He was trying to tell me that he needed to sleep, but I wasn’t listening. Thanks to this book, I started to be able to read his cues much better. Now he takes a lot of naps and has an early bedtime. Everyone always says what a happy baby he is. And I am a much happier mother! Doctor Weissbluth is a pediatrician (a children’s doctor) and a sleep researcher. He also has four children of his own. The book is full of examples of parents who had sleep problems and how they solved them. The basic points are highlighted and easy to understand. I would recommend this book to anyone who has a baby in their household, or as a gift to a friend. They will thank you!
