I am a first time mom of a baby who just turned 4 months old a couple of days ago. I was given this book when she was born, but never read it because she was an amazing sleeper. She slept on her own almost anywhere, through anything. At about 1 1/2 months she started having a "fussy time" at around 8 or 9pm that lasted until about 10:45 when she would fall asleep. It wasn't crying, it was just fussy. Otherwise, she was still a great sleeper (and still sleeping through the night since a week home from the hospital). At almost exactly 3 months old, however, she started screaming and was hysterical at her normal bedtime. The first time, she was inconsolable. She screamed for 4 hours. Nothing I did worked, until I climbed into the bath tub with both of us fully clothed and let her float with me in the water. She calmed down until we took her out. But at that point, she would then take her bottle and soon fell asleep. From that point on, getting her to sleep at night was a crying session every night for her (maybe about 1/2 hour), and she no longer would nap unless it was ON ME in the day time. When I told the doctor, they suggested I read this book. I already had it! So I went home that day and read the entire thing (aside for the stuff for school aged and teenagers). I did NOTHING all day but watch my baby for cues. I had NO IDEA, nor had ANYONE told me that babies shouldn't stay up longer than 2 hours. My baby was up for sometimes 4 hours! Just because she COULD do it didn't mean she SHOULD! That's one of the biggest points I took from the book. I learned that at 3-4 months she was a different baby now, and so things had to change, and that I was the one that had to start to implement that change.
