There are no words to describe how grateful I am for the valuable information in Tracy's book. My son, now 4 years old, was a terrible sleeper from day 1. He hardly slept during the day, no matter what I tried, and he woke between 5 & 11 (yep 11) times a night. I was averaging an hour and a half sleep a night for 8 months. I was so depressed, felt like a complete failure, cried for everything and for nothing, my marriage was falling apart and I was just in a very bad space for a very long time. I guess that's why it took me so long to decide to have another baby.
During my second pregnancy, I went for a routine check-up at my midwife. I discussed my previous experience with my son with her and she recommended The Baby Whisperer. I ordered the book from a bookstore the very next day and from the moment I started reading it, I knew that things would be different this time. I started my daughter on EASY from day 1. She is now 8 weeks and I'm jsut loving being a mom. She wakes once a night (only twice has she woken more than once a night), and naps pretty well during the day.
She does have her bad days too where I struggle to settle her to sleep, or where she only has a 45min nap, but I now have the tools to deal with those days.
Thanks to Tracy, I'm definitly a better mom, calmer and much more confident. She has been a lifesaver to me and my entire family!!!!!
