Introduction

Being a new parent is an exciting and joyous event. The party ends however, once you realize having a baby means long, sleepless, and frustrating nights. You will then start to long for the times when you’re overly demanding albeit cute little angel wasn't born yet. 

Have you run out of ways to solve this? If yes, don't fret because you are not alone. There are millions of new parents who are going through the same battle. One common mistake parents commit is believing that there is a single magic bullet which will solve this kind of problem.

The truth is there is no single solution because every baby and every parent are different. That is why in this book I am not going to recommend a uniform solution to baby sleep issues. I will instead help you formulate a strategy that will best fit you and your baby's situation. Here you will find parent-approved tactics and time-tested approaches to sending your baby to slumber land. These tips will turn nightmares to sweet dreams both for you and your baby's sake. 

While some parents may find it hard to admit, the little human in the crib is almost always the boss during bedtime.

Yes, your child may be interrupting your sleep but that is not enough reason to let her suffer alone. There are two things needed in each and every solution provided in this book:

your baby's cooperation

your loving guidance

Some parenting books suggest that you should let your baby sleep on her own. This is true because teaching her to be independent is a great way to introduce a healthy and happy relationship. However, a baby under the age of one year should learn to master trust and not independence. Independence is important but it is something that should be taught a few years after birth. She should feel secure in her first few months and there is no other way to do this than being available for her at night when needed.

The key word here is need. One secret to raising happy kids is being able to determine needs from wants. You need to make sure that you provide everything she needs and be careful when giving in to her wants.
