The no-cry nap solution Giveaway

Elizabeth Pantly sent me a copy of her book to review and I thank her very much for the book. I have to honestly say that I have not had time to read this book. I have had so much come up in the last month that I have put my book reviews on the side and I’m sorry. So, what I’m going to do is give the book away. That way I can reach more of you blood sucking/I mean contest loving fools (I’m right there with you entering as many contests as I can).
I’m also going to let you know that The Family Review Network is reviewing this book and they start reviewing in Feb.
I will tell you that I read enough to agree that having a solid routine, even a nap routine is very important to help them sleep. We also have a solid bed time schedule. She covers everything. I was amazed at what I learned just in the small amount that I did read. Issues and answers. She talks about luvies. My son has a luvie, but luckily it’s just a rag and any rag will do. In fact, at the last play date we went to, he grabbed a nearby costume and started sucking his thumb. It was cute until he somehow managed to get tangled up in it. So, this was mommy NOT FOLLOWING the routine.
From the back cover:
  • Convince any child to nap every day
  • Effortlessly settle your child for nap time in his or her own bed
  • Turn short, fitful naps into long peaceful ones
  • Establish a nap schedule that works for you and your child
  • Confidently deal with sudden changes, nap strikes, and travel

Here is the BOOK Description from the catalog:

The No-Cry Nap Solution:Guaranteed Gentle Ways to Solve All Your Naptime
ProblemsBestselling parenting author brings her solutions to your naptime
dilemmas. Will your child only nap in your arms, in a swing, or after elaborate
rituals? Does your child take cat naps–or none at all? Let world-renowned,
trusted parenting author Elizabeth Pantley help you. She’ll guide you with the
same sensitive expertise and gentle approach used in her other No-Cry
bestsellers.Research shows that naps improve health, mood, growth, and
well-being. Yet children often resist the naps they need. The results are fussy,
crying babies and cranky, grouchy kids who also have trouble sleeping at
night!In The No-Cry Nap Solution Pantley explains to parents of children ages
newborn to kindergarten the importance of napping to both behavior during the
day and sleeping during (and through!) the night. She then shares with you her
gentle, loving techniques–tested on families of all sizes and
circumstances–and shows you how you can customize her solutions for your own
family. Pantley addresses issues such as children who resist naps, dealing with
schedule changes, turning short naps into longer ones, helping a child go from
needing motion to sleep to “stationery” sleep, nursing at naptime, solving
daycare napping problems, and more.

    I read the No-Cry Sleep Solution a few years ago and found it very enlightening. I was unaware she had several other books in the no-cry series – I will definitely read them, as well. The The No-Cry Sleep Solution for Toddlers and Preschoolers and the The No-Cry Nap Solution are the first on my list!

  2. Francine says:

    I would really love this book for my son and daughter in law. They have allowed my grandson to sleep with them since birth and he is now 16 months. He won’t nap or go to sleep at night without someone lying down with him until he falls asleep. I love him with all my heart but I know this is a terrible habit. I visited Elizabeth Pantley’s site and I learned she has 4 children.
