He really covers all possible methods of sleep training, organized by age. He refers to a ton of studies
and also uses parent testimonials/examples. I have just read up through 6-7 months and highlighted the
things that stood out to me. Every single thing I highlighted has helped so far. Earlier bed time, dad
helping soothe, going outside between every nap, room darkening curtains, keep naps regular, don't get
him out of bed before 6 am except for 1-2 feedings if necessary, wakeful periods of 2 hours or less.
(Which means he is down for a nap every other hour). Sleep begets sleep, if he's wired, he's tired. It is a
very all-encompassing book, so it allows you to find your own way but still teaches best practices
according to studies. Love it! And it goes all the way up through adolescence.
