A breakthrough approach for a good night's sleep--with no tears

EXCELLENT and extremely helpful for sleepy parents!!:

empowered mama:
I am the very proud mother of a sweet 15 month old boy. He has not slept through the night ever...with the exception of one miraculous night when he was 4 months old. I bought Elizabeth Pantley's book "The No-cry Sleep Solution" about 3 months ago, cried through the first two chapters (especially reading your sleep log with your baby Coleton...it so exactly our pattern) because I thought, "THANK GOD, somebody gets it! I was getting so frustrated with looking for help and only finding the two extremes of... more info
