Recommended Reading

A no cry sleep solution is the ideal sleep solution. Hearing your child cry but not going to them is tough and grim for everyone. We've described how to help your toddler sleep in a slow and gradual way and this method does take a lot of patience, understanding and time.

Websites and the internet are wonderful but there's nothing like having a book to have to hand on your bedside table or whilst you're waiting for something. You can simply dip into when it's convenient and take what information you need. Here we look at the No-Cry Sleep Solution book by Elizabeth Pantley, parent educator and mother.

Elizabeth Pantley's book is informative and easy to read and follow. Unlike other sleep training books and sleep problem solving there are no strict methods or detailed timetables to keep. There's no controlled crying or distress to you or your child. Instead it gives parents information on what to expect and tools and techniques to help everyone get more sleep. The ideas can be adapted to suit you and your child.

This book also gives you useful logs and analysis tools to grasp your problem so that you can deal with it more easily. It really supports you in your quest for better sleep and wanting a no cry sleep solution. Pantley stresses the importance of daytime routines to establish when to have a nap which in turn leads to your toddler being ready to sleep at night time without having had too much sleep or being overtired.

Pantley encourages attachment parenting and encourages families to respond to their nurturing instincts. Of course this book may not be helpful to everyone but to many people it has been the help they have needed. Many parents have seen an improvement in their child's sleep within a matter of days or a few weeks. That's not long compared to how tired you feel.

This no cry sleep solution is gentle and loving and aims to help everyone get more sleep, less stress, a better time all round.

If you're tired and you want a solution to your toddler's sleep problems, or perhaps not a solution, but you just want your toddler's sleep to improve then by looking for help you are making headway. By looking for answers you are already turning the corner. Sometimes it takes a while to find what suits you and your child.

Talk to other friends, mothers, fathers and family members to see what worked for them. It's amazing what tips others can offer and people who have been in the same situation as you generally want to help.

We really hope that you and your toddler soon get a better night's sleep.
