This book was a suggestion for sleep help from a parenting group I am a part of. I found the suggestions to be very informative and gave great explanations of the why's, when's, how's, etc. on sleep training. My kid has gone through several sleep regressions. The 4-months was expected. The 8-months one was a wonder weeks leap that I did not realize would affect sleep but also was not wholly unexpected, especially since we were on a trip away from home. And then he went through a really rough one at 12 months. Mostly rough because I did not expect it at all and he would wake up in the middle of the night and then just scream every time I put him down for hours. After verifying it was not an ear infection or anything serious from the doctor (it was mostly related to his molars/teething pain), I needed to get some sleep! Sleep training was a must at that point and I used some of the pointers from the book. It did seem strange to me to go straight from the Soothing Ladder for babies below 5 months to the more hands-off Sleep Wave with nothing in between. We wanted a slightly different approach for our 5 month old than that presented in the 5 month - 2 year old section, so we incorporated some of the ideas/methods from the book but aren't following it exactly, and that's working very well for us. I think sleep training and parenting in general aren't as cut and dried as this and other books suggest. The Happy Sleeper is a research-based guide to helping children do what comes naturally—sleep through the night. Stomach sleepers in other weight groups may feel differently. Those weighing less than 130 pounds will likely find the mattress a little too firm, and with that they may not experience enough conforming or pressure relief. The topper may be useful for some of these stomach sleepers. For those weighing more than 230 pounds, the mattress will probably feel more comfortable without the topper than with it – but even then, the Happsy won’t be firm enough for some. A good sleep routine is the foundation for healthy sleep habits. It’s never too late to establish a positive bedtime routine, and there are long term benefits for doing so. Timing is the first area to think about, with a routine ideally lasting up to 45 minutes. When to start the routine can be based on working towards morning wake up time, and getting the required hours of sleep before this.An urgent message for sleep-deprived parents: You don’t have to suffer through “cry-it-out” OR attachment parenting’s “co-sleeping.” There’s another way! Consider issues such as whether anything in their bedroom might appear to be frightening and what are they watching on the TV during the daytime (under the age of 4/5 years children find it hard to tell the difference between dreams and reality so they will need lots of reassurance). Solid information on children’s brain development and physiology supports a clear and systematic “attunement” philosophy that strikes a happy balance between “cry it out” and “over-helping.” Turgeon and Wright’s compassionate but firm system reminds parents that even the smallest infants are already learners, and to be cognizant of what they want to teach.” A helpful parental response is to respond to and soothe your child after a nightmare, while also continuing to help them feel comfortable in their room and secure in the process of settling to sleep. Clear a space on your bookshelf! You’ll be consulting this friendly, research-based guide to the blessings of sleep for you and your little ones for many years to come.”

The first part of this book starts off great as it suggests gentle ways to avoid establishing bad habits with your child. For example, they suggest transition objects, swaddling, etc. They also propose what they call a “ladder” approach: when the baby cries, don’t jump straight to the thing that you know will make him stop crying (bouncing, etc.). instead start with a smaller thing like shushing, and then work your way up the “ladder” until you stop at the thing that works. The book suggests that feeding is the top of the “ladder”, but I feel that feeding your child when they’re hungry isn’t a bad *habit*. And this is where I have problems with their guide. There is an assumption that normal, natural things are ruining the child. Latex - hypoallergenic and resistant to dust mites and mould, our natural latex mattresses contour to your body shape to deliver that sink-in, sleeping-on-a-cloud feeling. Many families who come to us have read lots about children’s sleep and tried different solutions. Most feel exhausted, are aware of the impact that it is having on their child and family dynamics. They want some professional guidance and support to enable them to overcome these difficulties — and get some much-needed rest for all the family. Hybrid - the perfect mattress for the undecided! Hybrid mattresses offer the best of both worlds, combining a sprung mattress with a comfortable memory foam topper. With my daughter I just trusted my instincts more. We never let her cry un responded to. Every child is different, and perhaps that is why it was so much easier and pleasant getting my daughter to sleep through the night. But I would never recommend this book or method.It is common and perfectly normal for children to have nightmares, as a result of advancing cognitive skills and powers of imagination. from the foreword by Daniel J. Siegel, MD, New York Times-bestselling author of Brainstorm: The Power and Purpose of the Teenage Brain We found Jenny to be incredibly approachable and understanding in what is quite an emotionally demanding exercise. She adapted her advice to what we were comfortable implementing, and took the time to understand how we worked as a family. She set realistic goals and set the plan in phased steps so that we felt confident to help our daughter sleep. Happsy is an online bedding and sleep accessory brand that has been in business since 2017. The company specializes in products made from organic and sustainably sourced materials. In this review, we’ll take a look at the Happsy Organic Mattress. This latex hybrid model first debuted in May of 2017, and is the company’s only mattress at this time. When choosing mattress firmness, however, it is important to consider your weight and the weight of anyone who will be using the mattress alongside you. A firmer mattress is perfect for those who may weigh more or share a bed with someone else. But what is most important is choosing the mattress firmness that is right for you.

Our work with under 5’s is very much parent led. We indirectly gather information about your child’s developmental stage, personality, interests and preferences. This enables us to adopt a child centred and personalised approach. We do not need to work with your child but always enjoy meeting any little ones during our calls. The problem is, this disturbs our baby every time, waking him up more and causing more crying. I'm also dubious of the baby being a rational being that is soothed by these rational messages.Open Coil - open coil mattresses feature hundreds of steel springs running across the mattress connected by a wire rod to maintain the mattress’ shape. Many parents feel pressured to “train” babies and young children to sleep, but kids don’t need to be trained to sleep, they’re built to sleep. Sleep issues arise when parents (with the best of intentions) over-help or “helicopter parent” at night—overshadowing their baby’s innate biological ability to sleep well. In The Happy Sleeper,child sleep experts Heather Turgeon and Julie Wright show parents how to be sensitive and nurturing, but also clear and structured so that babies and young children develop the self-soothing skills they need to:
