Description

ARE YOU FIGHTING EVERY NIGHT TO PUT YOUR CHILD TO SLEEP? DOES YOUR BABY WAKE UP MULTIPLE TIMES DURING THE NIGHT? BY FOLLOWING THE METHOD RECOMMENDED IN THIS BOOK, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO GET YOUR CHILDREN TO SLEEP PROPERLY IN LESS THAN A WEEK.

One-third of children experience sleep problems. The consequences are evident in both the children – they become irritable, insecure, and consequently end up having issues at school and in forming relationships with others – and in the parents, who see how exhaustion and nerves harm their marital life.

Dr. Edouard Estivill has been researching all the intricacies of sleep for over forty years. His research work and clinical experience have made him a worldwide reference point in the field of sleep disorders. By applying his knowledge as a neurophysiologist and pediatrician, he has created the Estivill Method, which aims to address childhood insomnia and has proven to be effective in ninety-six percent of cases where it has been applied.

In the new, enriched edition of "Sleep, My Child," Estivill takes into account all the scientific knowledge acquired in recent years and presents the most reliable and effective version of his method.

"Sleep, My Child has become a bestseller and is absolutely essential for parents who need to combat childhood insomnia." Tu Primer A ~ no "The method suggested in this book, both simple and effective, is a treasure for sleepless parents. It explains how to teach your child to sleep well from the start and reveals how to resolve the problem of childhood insomnia." La Vanguardia

  • Paper quality
  • Was it easy to read?
  • Understanding of the subject matter
  • Was it relatively interesting?
  • I might recommend it for reading
  • I liked the writing style in some parts
  • I might read a book by the same author
  • It does exactly what it says, as long as you follow its instructions.
    The little one wouldn't sleep at all without his mom holding him.
    The first day it took me 15' (I'm the father) and just when I was disappointed, it worked!
    The second day 5' and the third day straight away...
    However, during the process we forgot the instructions and lost it again...
    when you follow them, it works 100%

    So, we applied it to all nine of our children and yes, for most it worked from the first or second day, of course we also had cases where it took 3-4 days, with the peak being our first child who responded after a week!! We saw all the tricks, mainly crying, but one of them vomited after the second or third attempt. Guys, it really takes determination, if you don't have the strength to resist the temptation to pick them up, don't even start!! Otherwise, if you can endure a few days, at some point you will see results. It's purely up to the parent whether the technique is effective.

    The idea of the author is very good, you let the baby cry until they swallow their vomit and stop! I wonder why I didn't think of it earlier! After all, child psychologists also need to make a living...

    Please do not buy. I am a mental health professional and this practice harms the brains of babies. Babies cannot learn to sleep on their own. The brain simply stops sending signals for help but the heart rate remains high.

    Stop buying it and stop selling it

It took me a while to read it, and after reading it and considering it good, I said I would try it and if it didn't work in our case, I would leave it.

    It's a shame in 2022 for parents to apply such methods on their babies!!!

    Unacceptable book!!!

    It is at least abusive!

    I also have a small baby who doesn't sleep more than 2 hours in a row, but I would never apply what it suggests. It would be better for everyone to find out what discomfort their child has and relieve it, rather than letting them suffer and creating "traumas" that will follow them for a lifetime!
    I wonder about the 5 stars!!! It's sad!!!

    P.S.: I would suggest better education for parents/caregivers.

    After nights of insomnia and exhaustion, we reached a point where my husband almost crashed because he closed his eyes from tiredness while driving. What can I say? Honestly, I have no words. We have a healthy and HAPPY child, full of energy, who now sleeps straight from 10:00 pm to 8:00 am and also takes a nap from 2:00-3:00 pm or even longer. Our whole life has changed!

    Unacceptable! I received it as a gift and struggled to finish it just to have a complete opinion... It is sad that this book is circulating in our days... I hope no parent applies this inhumane method to their children!! Our society needs physically and mentally healthy individuals, not soldiers filled with fear and insecurity... Our children are the future, they are young people who deserve respect, love, and empathy... This particular book treats the baby and the child as a cunning, deceitful creature with advanced techniques of emotional manipulation, which we must learn to handle. Furthermore, I believe that its arguments are ridiculous and the scientific evidence regarding the psychological outcomes of the method is insufficient.

    We were desperate from insomnia, we read it, we applied it and it saved us. It cried for 40 minutes the first night, yes, but you go regularly and talk to it... you don't give up on it. Surely not all parents can do it, I understand that, and I also struggled the first nights. However, I really don't understand some parents who threw away the book or don't even want to hear about it or the method... My 2-year-old child now sleeps on his own in seconds without any difficulty. He sleeps 11-12 hours and 2-3 hours in the afternoon. Of course, I recommend it!

    Unacceptable book in terms of content, translation, and lack of scientific research on the effects of the technique developed by the author. With great patience, I managed to finish it in order to have a comprehensive opinion on the subject. I would kindly ask you, for the sake of children (because I understand the limits that this situation can bring you), to read the following excellent book (based on research and common sense!!) https://www.amazon.com/Gentle-Sleep-Book-Sarah-Ockwell-Smith/dp/0349405204. Also, take a look at this: https://pediatros-thes.gr/%ce%ac%cf%81%ce%b8%cf%81%ce%b1/%ce%b1%cf%86%ce%ae%cf%83%cf%84%ce%b5-%cf%84%ce%bf-%ce%bd%ce%b1-%ce%ba%ce%bb%ce%b1%ce%af%ce%b5%ce%b9-%ce%bd%ce%b1-%cf%84%ce%b9-%ce%bb%ce%ad%ce%b5%ce%b9-%ce%b7-%ce%b5%cf%80%ce%b9%cf%83%cf%84%ce%ae/. Strength to all parents

    It's not for everyone. In our case, it simply created more annoyance and couldn't calm down even with a hug afterwards! I have never thrown a book before, but I threw this one because I didn't want to give it to someone else either...

    We applied it to our baby only for one night and only because our hearts were breaking. Although we don't sleep more than 2-3 hours at night without being woken up and during the day, he needs to be soothed. This method has a logical sequence and helps you understand the baby's cycles throughout the day, which convinced us to try it. However, our 5-month-old baby, who is still breastfeeding and has just started solid foods, cried for 50 minutes until he finally fell asleep from exhaustion. I do not recommend it under any circumstances for babies who exclusively breastfeed or have a mixed diet and do not have a stable feeding schedule, as well as for those who are against letting their child cry.

    It helps a lot with the child's sleep, at least at night (I haven't managed to do it during the day), both in falling asleep peacefully and in not waking up during the night. The child cried more before I applied the method, rather than after.

    I didn't believe that the method would work! With minimal crying, within three days I would put the baby in bed and she would take her sleeping position on her own. Now I put her in the crib and she sleeps easily. I highly recommend it!!

    With this method, my 10-month-old baby now sleeps on his own and even without waking up until morning. He cried much less than I expected for 3 days. Since then, he sleeps better and is calmer during the day. In short, effective and relatively painless. The tips to avoid sleep problems before they arise are particularly helpful.

    This review is about the publication date: 2004

    I was against the cry it out method, but after many attempts with other practices and 7 months of sleep deprivation, I had no other choice and nothing else to try, anymore.
    We were all collapsing at home, both organically and emotionally, until we gave this method a chance and couldn't believe how quickly it worked. The baby does not stay in any way in the mercy of his loneliness, there are constant visits to his room and the longest period he cried was only 45 minutes on the first night.
    We have recovered as a family, but our little one also sleeps better and is more rested now. He has a schedule for his sleep and wakes up happy.
    My only disagreement is that it is applied to younger babies... personally, I would not try it on a baby under 6 months old because his routine may not have been established yet and no one knows if he is crying because he doesn't want to stay in the crib or if he is hungry, for example. I think it is easier if the baby has started solid foods.

    It is truly a wonderful book! My baby falls asleep on his own as soon as I put him in his crib... it seems like a miracle! It requires a little patience for the first 2-3 days, but it is truly worth it!

    After 10 months of not sleeping for more than 3 consecutive hours, YES!!!!! Everyone sleeps!!!!
    Perfect book!
    While reading it, I cried and laughed together. It felt like the author was in my house for all those months!
    The second and third day that we applied the method were very difficult. But we continued because we saw results day by day.
    My twins sleep like little birds!!!!
    The same goes for 3-4 other families, either known or related to me, who applied it.
    How nice it is to "catch" sleep!!!!!!

    Unacceptable! I received it as a gift and struggled to finish it just to have a complete opinion... It is sad that this book is circulating in our days... I hope no parent applies this inhumane method to their children!! Our society needs physically and mentally healthy individuals, not soldiers filled with fear and insecurity... Our children are the future, they are young people who deserve respect, love, and empathy... This particular book treats the baby and the child as a cunning, deceitful creature with advanced techniques of emotional manipulation, which we must learn to handle. Furthermore, I believe that its arguments are ridiculous and the scientific evidence regarding the psychological outcomes of the method is insufficient.

    We were desperate from insomnia, we read it, we applied it and it saved us. It cried for 40 minutes the first night, yes, but you go regularly and talk to it... you don't give up on it. Surely not all parents can do it, I understand that, and I also struggled the first nights. However, I really don't understand some parents who threw away the book or don't even want to hear about it or the method... My 2-year-old child now sleeps on his own in seconds without any difficulty. He sleeps 11-12 hours and 2-3 hours in the afternoon. Of course, I recommend it!

    I believe by far the worst book a parent can read to solve their child's sleep problem. I do not agree with a single sentence from this specific book.

    Unacceptable book in terms of content, translation, and lack of scientific research on the effects of the technique developed by the author. With great patience, I managed to finish it in order to have a comprehensive opinion on the subject. I would kindly ask you, for the sake of children (because I understand the limits that this situation can bring you), to read the following excellent book (based on research and common sense!!) https://www.amazon.com/Gentle-Sleep-Book-Sarah-Ockwell-Smith/dp/0349405204. Also, take a look at this: https://pediatros-thes.gr/%ce%ac%cf%81%ce%b8%cf%81%ce%b1/%ce%b1%cf%86%ce%ae%cf%83%cf%84%ce%b5-%cf%84%ce%bf-%ce%bd%ce%b1-%ce%ba%ce%bb%ce%b1%ce%af%ce%b5%ce%b9-%ce%bd%ce%b1-%cf%84%ce%b9-%ce%bb%ce%ad%ce%b5%ce%b9-%ce%b7-%ce%b5%cf%80%ce%b9%cf%83%cf%84%ce%ae/. Strength to all parents

    It's not for everyone. In our case, it simply created more annoyance and couldn't calm down even with a hug afterwards! I have never thrown a book before, but I threw this one because I didn't want to give it to someone else either...

    We applied it to our baby only for one night and only because our hearts were breaking. Although we don't sleep more than 2-3 hours at night without being woken up and during the day, he needs to be soothed. This method has a logical sequence and helps you understand the baby's cycles throughout the day, which convinced us to try it. However, our 5-month-old baby, who is still breastfeeding and has just started solid foods, cried for 50 minutes until he finally fell asleep from exhaustion. I do not recommend it under any circumstances for babies who exclusively breastfeed or have a mixed diet and do not have a stable feeding schedule, as well as for those who are against letting their child cry.

    It helps a lot with the child's sleep, at least at night (I haven't managed to do it during the day), both in falling asleep peacefully and in not waking up during the night. The child cried more before I applied the method, rather than after.

    I didn't believe that the method would work! With minimal crying, within three days I would put the baby in bed and she would take her sleeping position on her own. Now I put her in the crib and she sleeps easily. I highly recommend it!!

    With this method, my 10-month-old baby now sleeps on his own and even without waking up until morning. He cried much less than I expected for 3 days. Since then, he sleeps better and is calmer during the day. In short, effective and relatively painless. The tips to avoid sleep problems before they arise are particularly helpful.

    I was against the cry it out method, but after many attempts with other practices and 7 months of sleep deprivation, I had no other choice and nothing else to try, anymore.
    We were all collapsing at home, both organically and emotionally, until we gave this method a chance and couldn't believe how quickly it worked. The baby does not stay in any way in the mercy of his loneliness, there are constant visits to his room and the longest period he cried was only 45 minutes on the first night.
    We have recovered as a family, but our little one also sleeps better and is more rested now. He has a schedule for his sleep and wakes up happy.
    My only disagreement is that it is applied to younger babies... personally, I would not try it on a baby under 6 months old because his routine may not have been established yet and no one knows if he is crying because he doesn't want to stay in the crib or if he is hungry, for example. I think it is easier if the baby has started solid foods.

    It is truly a wonderful book! My baby falls asleep on his own as soon as I put him in his crib... it seems like a miracle! It requires a little patience for the first 2-3 days, but it is truly worth it!

    After 10 months of not sleeping for more than 3 consecutive hours, YES!!!!! Everyone sleeps!!!!
    Perfect book!
    While reading it, I cried and laughed together. It felt like the author was in my house for all those months!
    The second and third day that we applied the method were very difficult. But we continued because we saw results day by day.
    My twins sleep like little birds!!!!
    The same goes for 3-4 other families, either known or related to me, who applied it.
    How nice it is to "catch" sleep!!!!!!

  • It does exactly what it says, as long as you follow its instructions.
    The little one wouldn't sleep at all without his mom holding him.
    The first day it took me 15' (I'm the father) and just when I was disappointed, it worked!
    The second day 5' and the third day straight away...
    However, during the process we forgot the instructions and lost it again...
    when you follow them, it works 100%

  • So, we applied it to all nine of our children and yes, for most it worked from the first or second day, of course we also had cases where it took 3-4 days, with the peak being our first child who responded after a week!! We saw all the tricks, mainly crying, but one of them vomited after the second or third attempt. Guys, it really takes determination, if you don't have the strength to resist the temptation to pick them up, don't even start!! Otherwise, if you can endure a few days, at some point you will see results. It's purely up to the parent whether the technique is effective.

  • The idea of the author is very good, you let the baby cry until they swallow their vomit and stop! I wonder why I didn't think of it earlier! After all, child psychologists also need to make a living...
