I have been reading more than one book at a time again. Just recently I finished Save Our Sleep by Tizzie Hall, a book that has been recommended to me by a number of people now.
Tizzie Hall is known as the baby whisperer, and this book is a ‘how to’ guide for getting your baby into good sleeping and eating routines.
She provides good examples and case studies as she goes through explaining different methods. However, I did find some of her directions were given in a convoluted manner (some, not all).
When it comes to being sleep deprived while trying to follow these directions, I can see how some parents would give up.
Of course at the present moment it is all theory and it sounds wonderful in theory! So until we put it into practice I have no idea how useful it will actually be for us. Stay tuned as the Save Our Sleep experiment continues!
Baby has arrived! Once again a long time between blogging, and this probably doesn't really count.
ReplyDeleteIn terms of practical parenting, 'Save Our Sleep' has not worked for us. Our little man is a pretty good sleeper at night, not so much during the day. We have tried following the routines, however baby has other ideas and won't sleep at the times the book says or as long as the book says.
Every baby is different, as long as yours is happy and healthy and not making you too sleep deprived, I reckon you're getting on ok!
