How should you get your baby to sleep? Should you leave the baby alone in their cot until they cry themselves to sleep? Is there even another option? The author of this book (a mother of 4) says there is, and offers a long list (half to two-thirds of the book) of ways to settle the baby, so that the baby doesn’t have to cry itself to sleep.
Whether you agree with the stance or not, it’s helpful to read such a long list of different ways to soothe a baby, and to understand what to expect with regard to a baby’s sleep patterns.
