A No-Cry Book Giveaway

It’s January 14th, 2009!  Do you know what that means?  It’s the perfect arbitrary date to announce a book giveaway!

Two GNMParents readers will win TWO of the “No-Cry” books by Elizabeth Pantley: 

1.  The No-Cry Nap Solution and

2.  The No-Cry Discipline Solution.

You might be familiar with Ms. Pantley’s books; recently GNMParents contributor, Lisa D. reviewed The No-Cry Sleep Solution and her latest book The No-Cry Nap Solution.  That and, well,  she’s quite well known.

Of The No-Cry Sleep Solution, Lisa writes:

Pantley’s book finds its way somewhere between the Ferber method of letting a baby cry it out and the method we were currently using–the stay away all night and hold the baby so you can’t function the next day method.  Pantley guides parents through the steps of teaching their children to fall asleep.  The book takes parents through ten comprehensive steps to helping your child fall asleep on their own.

Of The No-Cry Nap Solution, Lisa writes:

Pantley’s books have always been among some of my favorite parenting guides. Her writing is clear and engaging, as she draws not only from experts in the medical profession but other parents who have used her techniques. The No-Cry Nap Solution doesn’t disappoint. Whether you’re having battles with a cranky, over-tired toddler, or you are a new parent wondering how to begin establishing sleep patterns that will affect the next years of your newborn’s (and your own) life, this book provides answers and support.

How to Win!

    One thing I have learned from having four children, is that you will be forced to relearn everything you ever believed about parenting for each child. None of mine have been exactly alike. I had three terrific sleepers, followed by our son who almost never sleeps. I have had three that would eat anything and one (unnamed child) who liked to gag and starve herself before she tried anything new.

    Thank goodness there are wonderful books out there to help with all these little issues of parenting that seem so all-consuming at the time.

    My son has never been a sleeper! He’s been a really good boy in most other aspects, but still is not a good sleeper. He is 2yo and is now becoming more and more independent and stubborn! I would love to find better ways of disciplining him for the sake of my sanity because nothing seems to work!

    I tweeted the offer to my followers (all 13 of them)!

    And I have a three year old, who’s terrible at going to sleep. Everything else, eating, getting dressed, brushing her teeth, no problem. She hates to be left alone. No, she hates *me* to leave her.

    We’re trying the no cry sleep solution book, and I have been trying to leave, come back, leave, come back. It is draining for everyone in the house.

    Hope that it works eventually. :)

    I have 3 boys, 7, 3 AND 2 YEARS OF AGE. WE DID THE NO CRY SLEEP WHEN OUR OLDEST WAS YOUGER AND IT WORKED! Displine is a hugh problem in our house as my husband and I do not parent the same way, we are not on the same page if you get my drift. So its a Hugh drama to enforce rules and regulations.

    With an almostteen, a preteen and a baby, I am learning everyday. So different from each other in so many ways- sleepers and non-sleepers, early eaters and late eaters, talkers and late-talkers.

    My third baby is like no one I have ever met before. She crawled before 6 months and is a loud, fast bundle-of-fun at 7.

    I enjoyed the Pantley sleep book. Very common sense and suggested many techniques I had figured out over the course of 13 years. Nice to have a non-judgmental book on sleep to recommend.

    Being a first time father on a 17 month old, there is nothing more stressful than a child who does not want to sleep. Every sleep article/book I have read says “let them cry it out”. Which is counter intuitive to our nurturing instincts. After the stress of listening to him cry, I’m willing to try anything.

    Matthew has always been good about going to sleep. he actually asks to go to bed. However, he doesn’t STAY asleep that great. So that’s what I need. How to get your child to sleep after 3am lol!

    My daughter has always been a good sleeper. Then my son came along who won’t sleep alone.
    Drives me crazy, won’t sleep in his own bed.

    My son has a great schedule right now, but hes four months old! My daughter on the other hand has no routine at all!

    My son HATES going to sleep without putting up a fight. He will holler and scream each and every time. I’m scared to leave him with a babysitter in fear that they will not want to deal with his screaming at nights.

    I’m a working mother of a 17 month old and I always feel so guilty hearing him cry it out. There’s got to be a better way that doesn’t leave me feeling so bad.

    I have learned that I will respond faster and quicker to my sons shrills just to make him stop. I swear someday the boy will break a glass.
    I learned that sometimes we do things we know will just encourage the bad behavior just to make it stop right then.
    Thanks for the entry

    My 1yo daughter will wake up in the night and cry and cry. Nothing is wrong, she just realizes I am not there and won’t go back to sleep unless I am holding her. It is getting so frustrating! I end up putting her in my bed (which is a bad habit I don’t want to create) just so I can get to sleep. Once she’s asleep, I put her back in her crib but if she wakes up, the whole cycle starts all over!

    I never let my son cry – no one likes to cry and so when he did, I picked him up , let him know he was heard, and solved what ever problem there was. I believe in no cry – all the time. My kids are happy kids and they know that they can communicate with me & I will listen.
