 | The No-Cry Sleep Solution: Gentle Ways to Help Your Baby Sleep Through the Night by Elizabeth Pantley
Buy new: $10.85 / Used from: $3.10 This is one end of the spectrum. Again, there are portions of this book I really like, but I have not read all of it. Parents who don't like it think it's unrealistic and makes you feel guilty. See what you think...

 | The Happiest Baby on the Block: The New Way to Calm Crying and Help Your Newborn Baby Sleep Longer by Harvey Karp
Buy new: $10.20 / Used from: $2.84 I have not read this book, but I bought the DVD for work and heard Dr. Karp present. Of all the books on the list, this is the one whose philosophy I know the most about to fully recommend. Again, the DVD might be more helpful for actually learning the techniques but the book has more info.

 | The Sleepeasy Solution: The Exhausted Parent's Guide to Getting Your Child to Sleep from Birth to Age 5 by Jennifer Waldburger
Buy new: $10.17 / Used from: $6.30 This is written by two Santa Monica social workers and is generally billed as a nice compromise between the No-Cry, but still attachment friendly. If you read it, let me know what you think.

 | Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child by Marc Weissbluth
Buy new: $10.88 / Used from: $1.77 My supervisor, who has more training in infant mental health than me, says this is her favorite sleep book. I have talked to one person who didn't love it. The jury is still out.

 | Solve Your Child's Sleep Problems: New, Revised, and Expanded Edition by Richard Ferber
Buy new: $10.85 / Used from: $9.70 This is the other end of the spectrum. This is generally known as the most behavioral and strict sleep book (aka traditional or old school). My understanding is that this revised edition is softer and took back some of the recommendations the author originally made when this book first came out. Some good info, but not a book I would recommend.

 | Secrets of the Baby Whisperer: How to Calm, Connect, and Communicate with Your Baby by Tracy Hogg
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $3.62 Someone recommended this book. I have a copy in my office, but haven't read it yet...
