Sleep is probably the most confusing and misunderstood aspect of parenthood. Babies are supposed to sleep most of the time. Well, some do, but a few don't. If your child is one of the many who has trouble in sleeping, and disrupts your own days and nights in the process, then don't despair. There are ways of encouraging regular sleep patterns, and in this book the author reveals exactly what they are. Starting on the first day at home after birth, the author advises new parents to disregard any advice to let the baby's habits rule the roost. By creating a proper structure of feeding, sleeping and playing times, parents can help their baby to find a rhythm that will be comfortable for all concerned.
