Frustrated because baby doesn’t sleep at night? With the help of Dr. Stuart Tomares, a pediatric sleep specialist, you can have your baby sleeping well in about a week. In this 24-minute video, Dr. Tomares outlines three major causes of sleep disturbances in infants: lack of a sleep ritual, poor sleep associations, and inconsistent parental response. After defining each of these three areas, Dr. Tomares offers several examples of good sleep rituals and sleep associations, and defines appropriate parental response. Video clips of parents with their children provide helpful visual examples.
Dr. Tomares outlines five specific stages of achieving good sleep: creating good sleep associations, a bedtime routine, a transition period, crying, and “the plan.” Much emphasis is given to these stages being learned processes, to the concept of incremental comforting, and to the distressing yet necessary stage of letting your child cry. Most impressive is Dr. Tomares’s suggested day-by-day, minute-by-minute timetables for comforting a baby who cries at bedtime. Especially reassuring is the “sleep talk” segment in which Dr. Tomares hosts a question-and-answer session with concerned parents and answers many frequently asked questions.
This is a wonderfully detailed plan for getting your baby to sleep well. With a 95 percent success rate, this tape is sure to help junior slip into dreamland so you can get some rest, too. –Tami Horiuchi

The other reviewer on here got it exactly right, This video just tells you to let your baby cry it out and then they will sleep. My wife an I thought this video would be informative but the statements the “expert” makes in the video go against every instict that a parent has to pick up their baby when they cry. Don’t waste your money. Parents are the real experts of their babies. Trust your insticts and your baby’s cries.

I found this to be a very simplistic video that left me with lots of unanswered questions. Ferber’s book is more complete and uses the same approach. END

An exact quote from the video says it all: “She will never learn to fall asleep unless you let her cry.” I can give you the advice of the video in three sentences: Put your baby in her crib. Let her cry. She’ll eventually fall asleep. Not advice I’m willing to take. Very disappointing.

It’s been 2 weeks and our 13 month-old sleeps all through the night from 9pm to 6am. Amazing!! He used to wake up every 30mn to nurse. This method works really well, you just need to be strong because the 1st night is tough: your baby cries and you will have a hard time to resist the temptation to go pick him up. After 4 nights, you will already see the results.

Your Baby Can Sleep: The Practical, Proven Method for Solving your Baby’s Sleep Problems
I have a new attitude towards mother’s ways of handling their children’s sleep issues. I always said I would never let my daughter cry. Well, that was fine and dandy until my little girl was 19 MONTHS OLD and was suffering from sleep deprivation b/c I did not have the courage to be the parent!! From birth I coslept with my daughter. First in a chair, then when she got a little older, we moved to the couch. When she turned one, I moved her to my bed. Well, to those moms who think cosleeping is the answer to all problems, think again!! My little girl did not sleep well in bed with me. She woke up a million times during the night, crying and needing comfort even though I was lying right next to her. She would literally hang on me at night…I am a stay at home mom, so she was with me all the time. My husband slept in the guest room. My happy, cheery little girl started yawning at 9 am, getting cranky and tired eyed all the time. I was so exhausted I couldn’t stand it. I slept during the day b/c I knew nighttime would be so difficult. I knew in my heart that my daughter wasn’t benefitting from cosleeping…she needed her space and I wasn’t giving it to her. I WAS THE ONE WHO WANTED TO SLEEP WITH HER. I finally can admit that.
Finally one day, when I missed my little girl swimming and using the kickboard for the first time because I WAS LYING IN BED TAKING A NAP ON A BEAUTIFUL DAY while Daddy was out having fun with her, I made a commitment to change this situation.
I had watched this tape before and of course I thought with the old ‘holier-than-thou’ attitude that some of us moms have “Oh, how mean. To let these babies cry, how awful” Well, guess who ended up trying this method. Me, and guess what?
My daughter did not cry for hours at all, nor did she cry herself to sleep! Within 3 minutes, she stopped crying and drifted off to sleep and had the first decent night’s sleep in 19 months!! Well, it’s been 9 days. She got the hang of it the first night, with a total of 3 minutes crying and that includes pauses. The next night took 30 seconds, and the night after that there was no crying.
It’s been 8 days, she hops into bed, kisses and hugs me and waves goodnight. :) Then she sleeps till morning and so do I. I am a better mother b/c of this tape.
I plan to write Dr. Tomares a letter thanking him for this video. I could care less what some other mom says about letting your child cry. Mine didn’t…she was ready and she needed me to be an adult and give her the sleep she needs. Cosleeping is fine for some people, but it doesn’t work for everyone, and for us it resulted in one big sleep disorder.
There are a million ways to be a good mother, and it makes me disgusted when some parents think their way is the only way. Shame on me for not getting the hint sooner. I could have saved my little girl so many hours of sleep. Well, better late than never! :)
I recommend this video to anyone. It could be easier than you think! Good luck!
