Good Night, Baby, Good Night: Sleep Train Your Infant, Twins or Older Baby for Nighttime Sleep (Revised Edition)

By Harriett Watson

Good Night, Baby, Good Night can get your healthy Baby to sleep through the night as early as seven to eight weeks old.
Are you expecting a baby or have a new baby?
You or someone you know, would love to avoid the interrupted sleep and sleep deprivation you have heard so much about, with a new baby or babies in the house.
You will find my step-by-step process quick and easy to follow, not a lengthy philosophy or psychology of training Baby to sleep. It can work for older babies as well.
My training offers what money can’t buy: sleeping through the night for Baby and you, positive parenting skills, and confidence in your ability as a parent. It also promotes positive behaviors in Baby and contributes to years of good sleep habits for your child.
Let “Good Night, Baby, Good Night” rock you and Baby to sleep!

Introduction

Welcome to Good Night, Baby, Good Night, Volume 1 of the Madayo’s Child series of parenting guides. It is my hope that your child will benefit from my sleep-training techniques and become a winning trainee of Madayo’s Child. This guide is excellent for your twins as well.

The purpose of this first guide is threefold. First, it will teach you a step-by-step method for getting your seven- to eight-week-old infant to sleep through the night; second, it will help you reduce the anxiety and frustration associated with waiting for your baby to sleep through the night; and third, it will help you get some much-needed sleep.

This guide is designed with you and your baby in mind. These techniques will enhance the special bond between you and your baby. You will find tender and loving ways to train your baby to sleep through the night by starting very early (when your baby is five and a half to six weeks old). That is right! (You can still try my techniques even if your baby is older three to nine months.)

I know you have been lovingly looking forward to bringing your baby home, but what parent is looking forward to interrupted sleep, sleepless nights, and dragging through the days ahead. You can say it: Not me. I know that most new parents view losing sleep as an acceptable event. Parents usually expect to lose sleep for the first nine months to a year. They simply believe that they will get through it somehow, and they usually do, but all new parents complain at some point. It does not mean they do not love their baby. It just means that they are tired, and they cannot wait until their baby finally sleeps through the night. I have a remedy for this. My trainings can help uplift parents’ spirits (mothers’ in particular) and contribute to their emotional well-being by reducing some of the stress associated with having a new baby and experiencing loss of sleep. By getting enough rest and enough sleep yourself, you will support the emotional health and well-being of your baby as well.

Good Night, Baby, Good Night can assist you with one of the first challenges of parenting: getting some much-needed sleep, even with a new baby in the house. We already know that your baby is going to get plenty of sleep no matter what. When your healthy baby first comes home, he is not going to be stressed, frustrated, or sleep deprived, but you might be very soon after!

My sleep training will teach you parenting skills that can only benefit you and your child. Nighttime sleep for your baby will mean sleep for you. Then you can feel energetic again soon after your baby is born. Moreover, my training techniques can provide your child with years of good sleep habits.

How do I know all this? First, I know because I am a parent who has successfully trained babies. Second, I know because I am a licensed mental health counselor, and I have had many years of experience counseling adults, many of them parents who have expressed normal and appropriate concerns about feeling overwhelmed, anxious and a little worried about how they will manage all of their other responsibilities with a new baby in the house. Their concerns were mainly related to the anticipation of sleep deprivation, which causes an additional challenge in terms of concentrating on and completing other tasks.

I hope
