Review:

“Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child” by Mark Weissbluth M.D. was on our recommendation list before we found “Sleepless in America”. This book is a lot information on the importance of sleep but isn’t as good as “Sleepless in America”. If you’re pregnant and trying to have a plan for sleep, it may be helpful or it may make you crazy. It’s intense and detailed. This is good but not always accurate or respectful. Haas a tenancy to add guilt to parents who already feel plenty of guilt. 

Challenges:

  • Long and tedious read.
  • If you're an anxious parent already, this book might not be for you.  In my opinion, the importance of sleep is so strongly stated it causes unnecessary stress for families.
