Dear Dr. Marc Weissbluth
Dear Dr. Marc Weissbluth,
Your book “Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child” was recommended to me by a coworker. I was so excited to work your plan when my baby was born, I really thought it would make my baby into a boy wonder. I found that the more I read and the older my baby got, the more turned off I was by your method. I shelved the book for a while and waited until just the other day to go back to it.
My baby is now five months old. While I’m still not willing to let him cry in his crib for a full hour when he doesn’t want to sleep, your sleep cycle graphic has done wonders for me. As soon as I put him on the sleep schedule you recommended, and let him cry when he wakes up at 2 or 3 am, his whole demeanor changed. I never imagined that he was waking up for any other reason besides being hungry. You put it all in perspective for me when you said it wasn’t fair to get him out of bed and force him to eat when he wasn’t hungry. That is something I never would have imagined on my own.
Thank you so much, Dr. Weissbluth. I hope we will continue to have successful nights (and naps!)
Best to you,
Heather Mark

Great letter! I’m due in June & need to do something, anything different then I did with my daughter. I got up with her three times a night, every night, for 2 years.
