Book Review: The No-Cry Sleep Solution for Newborns

As a seasoned mother of 3, with baby #4 on the way, I feel qualified to review Elizabeth Pantley’s latest addition to her No-Cry Solution series – The No-Cry Sleep Solution for Newborns.

Bestselling author Elizabeth Pantley brings it home once again with exceptional advice on how to get amazing sleep from day one, for both you and your baby. I only wish I had this book with my first child. Perhaps I might have gotten some sleep during those first two years… *yawn*

Thankfully, 9 years and 2 more kids later, I have a pretty good grip on sleep solutions and I can tell you from my personal experience raising 3 children (soon to be 4) that I trust Elizabeth Pantley’s advice. Not only have I tried her methods in the past and found them to be quite effective, but I found that some of her methods in her latest book were things I was already doing and have worked very well for us!

What the professionals you know and trust have to say about her new book:

“Yet again, Elizabeth Pantley spins her baby magic! She towers above her competitors by showing us what babies really need, and how best to give it to them. She teaches us to take advantage of our infant’s innate capacities to sleep and reminds us to be open to the messages our babies whisper to us.”
~ James J. McKenna, Ph.D.
Director, Mother-Baby Behavioral Sleep Laboratory
University of Notre Dame

 

“Well-presented, honest and evidence-based – this is the first book I have seen that translates scientific insights into a usable form for parents.  Pantley recognizes that everyone is different, and a range of options is more valuable than a single “one size fits all” approach. I will be pleased to commend this book to parents.”
~ Professor Peter Fleming CBE
Professor of Infant Health & Developmental Physiology
University of Bristol

 

“The No-Cry Sleep Solution for Newborns is a brilliant guide for parents of infants. If you feel strongly, as I do, that newborns should be treated gently, their needs respected, and their parents supported, you will find much to like in this book. It will be a key resource for parents, and for those who seek to support them.”
~  Professor Helen L Ball, BSc, MA, PhD
Director, Parent-Infant Sleep Lab, Durham University
Co-Founder the Infant Sleep Information Source

 

“Expectant and new parents, take heed! This is the one sleep book you need to read. It will set a pattern not only for better sleep, but also for a healthy, nurturing relationship with your children for a lifetime to come.”
~ Nancy Peplinsky, Ph.D.
Founder, Holistic Moms Network

 

“As a general pediatrician in practice for 35 years, Pantley’s advice has been my ‘go-to’ for parents. With her latest book she provides a game plan to have happier, more flexible infants and, yes, happier, calmer parents who can actually enjoy their new babies. I am seriously thinking about providing this book to all new parents.”
~ Edward D Lewis, MD, FAAP
Lewis Pediatrics, New York

 

More About The Author:

Elizabeth Pantley, a world-renowned expert on children’s sleep, created this guide to explain the ways we unintentionally prevent an infant’s natural sleep to occur, and to teach us the simple but powerful ways to maximize our newborn’s naps and nighttime sleep. Once you’ve learned the 15 Keys to Amazing Newborn Sleep you’ll easily make adjustments to how you treat your baby’s sleep. You don’t have to keep logs nor follow schedules or rules. Just by being aware of this information you will do things to improve sleep that you wouldn’t have known to do otherwise.

With The No-Cry Sleep Solution for Newborns, you will learn:

  • the things that trick us into disrupting a baby’s sleep
  • how to identify the perfect moment for a nap
  • ways to create a sleep-inducing environment
  • tips to reduce the number of night wakings
  • how to set the stage for great sleep throughout babyhood

The No-Cry Sleep Solution for Newborns was field-tested by 122 test families with newborns. Their input refined the ideas to make them easy to understand and follow – by even the most sleep-deprived parent. When you apply these Keys you can help your baby sleep well and peacefully. And guess what? When your baby sleeps – you will, too!

 

I highly recommend this book to all first time parents or anyone who is having trouble getting their newborn to sleep or stay asleep. This would also make a fantastic (and well appreciated) baby shower gift as well! I can’t speak highly enough of this book. It is hands-down my favorite book from Elizabeth Pantley yet. Definitely a must-have for your library of parenting books.

I didn’t think a blanket could change my life bu I didn’t think a blanket could change my life but… it did. 

I’m so glad I decided to give @mybearaby a try. It’s not just another weighted blanket. It’s a lifestyle. The moment I unrolled it, I knew this blanket was different. 

Not only is it 100% organic cotton, it is award winning and has proven positive results. 85% of people reported better sleep after using the Bearaby weighted blanket and I can confirm this is true. 

From the first night with it, I immediately noticed that I fall asleep much faster - no more staring at the ceiling wondering when I’m going to fall asleep. I also noticed I sleep much more deeply and don’t wake up nearly as often which really surprised me. 

Not only that, I feel HAPPY when I wake up instead of that sinking dread feeling I normally have 🥴 Who knew a blanket could fix so many things?!

If you’re a stressed out, anxious mom like myself, do yourself a favor and get this blanket. Will it fix all your problems? No. It won’t do the dishes or fold your laundry. But it will help you sleep better and that will help everything else in life feel a lot lighter. ☺️
