Description:Comfort the kid ... or let her cry it out? Listen to your instincts ... or ignore them? Your heart tells you that cuddling your baby is much, much better than "ferberizing." This book explains why.It's 2 A.M. and your baby is wailing. You're tired, frustrated, and overwhelmed. Do you heed your friends' advice and let the baby cry it out, hoping he'll self-soothe and learn that he doesn't need you in the middle of the night? Or do you listen to your deepest instincts, go to the child, and comfort her until she returns to sleep? In this eye-opening manifesto, pediatric sleep specialists Eliot S. Katz and Carolyn D'Ambrosio explore the history of the "Cry it Out" industry and the medicalization of perfectly normal infant sleep patterns. They explain how the demands of modern society encourage parents to value uninterrupted sleep over their baby's needs, and to ignore important nighttime opportunities for parent-child bonding. "Comfort the Kid" also provides answers to the many questions that keep parents awake at night: Should my baby sleep in his own room, separated from his parents? (No.) Will I spoil my baby by picking her up when she cries? (No.) Will comforting my infant when he cries make him manipulative and demanding? (No.) Do the words that I use to describe my child become self-fulfilling prophecies? (Maybe.) Filled with useful tips and safe sleep practices, parent-infant communication, and family rhythms and tempos, "Comfort the Kid!" emphasizes the golden rule of parenting. Comforting your crying infant results in less stress and better sleep for both you and your baby.From Introduction,"Infancy is a challenging passage during which parents draw upon talents, insights, and stamina that they never knew they had. It is also a time to acquire a skill set and strategy that will be helpful for the demands ahead. Our hope is that a full understanding of the underlying evolutionary, biological, and cultural determinants governing infant sleep will ease this process. Knowing the benefits of Comfort the Kid will make sleepless nights a bit less distressing, and perhaps even enjoyable.
