Very funny and informative, gives parents lots of options

I chose this as my free trial audible book and I am so pleased with my choice! I have listened to a lot of sleep-related audiobooks and some of them are so drab and boring, mostly because they are not narrated by the author themselves. This author actually took the time to narrate a 8 hour long book and it makes such a difference! The tone and the humor makes those 8 hours go by fast instead of dragging on and on. And I definitely skipped some chapters that did not apply to my situation, something you can’t always do with other audiobooks so thanks Audible! There is so much good information in this book, that I think the hardest part is knowing what to apply to your specific situation. I have listened to several chapters but I am just now applying some of the strategies. Hopefully it helps!

Less jokes, more information

The book has good, useful content but I can’t get past how annoying the author/narrator is. Constantly making bad jokes and using cutesy language. I guess they needed to fill up a whole book. Had to stop listening because it was just so cringey. Like all parenting books, assumes a female audience with a wink and a nod that is just insufferable.

1000% recommend this book

This book had so many great insights. I also enjoyed it because many different options were given. After using some tips my baby slept 10 hours the first night.

Life changing

Baby went from having to be rocked and fed 7-9 times a night and fighting sleep to sleeping on her own with no tears and 1-2 wake ups in just 5 days! Amazing!

Abuse

Should have read more reviews. This is cry it out they say it’s not but they call it something else “fuss it out” then a chapter later flat out admit it’s cry it out and if you aren’t ready to not even try. They also say leaving the house while your baby is crying is a good way to not cave in and smooth your baby. Wtf is wrong with people, just pick up and love your innocent baby.
