Compassionate Sleep Solutions with Eilee...

Institute of Child Psychology
About this episode

There are two major camps on getting babies to sleep through the night. These methods are hotly debated, and their oppositional ideas can leave parents feeling frustrated and confused.


1. Cry it out! - Deal breaker for many parents.

2. Do whatever it takes, all day and all night long - Deal breaker for those of us who need to function in the real world.


There are other approaches that offer the much coveted “NO Cry” result. The "no cry" unicorn baby, sorry to report, is a mythological creature.


In this podcast Eileen Henry will walk you through her revolutionary based approach: The Compassionate Sleep Solution, which is a gentle, honest and realistic approach to supporting your child's sleep. Since crying can be a part of that reality, this method will teach you how to calm the cry. Your child can sleep AND feel safe and secure.


To learn more about this approach purchase Eileen's book: https://www.amazon.com/Compassionate-Sleep-Solution-Calming-Cry-ebook/dp/B01LY6A44J
