Basic Training – Reading Requirements

If you haven’t already read my books, please do so! If you have only read your child’s age group, then read the other age groups. Take notes and write down questions you have or you think your clients will have.

Below are links to download my book “The Sleep Lady’s Good Night, Sleep Tight” and the companion workbook:

– Good Night, Sleep Tight (Click here)
– Good Night, Sleep Tight Workbook (Click here)

Here are two additional required reading books:

– “Postpartum Depression for Dummies” by Shoshana S. Bennett, PhD (click here)

– “Colic Solved: The Essential Guide to Infant Reflux and the Care of Your Crying, Difficult-to- Soothe Baby” by Dr. Bryan Vartabedian (click here)

And if the above doesn’t keep you busy enough… spend a few afternoons at your local bookstore reading the sleep books currently on the market. Most families tell me they are familiar with or have read the following: 

– Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child by Dr. Marc Weissbluth 
– Solving Your Child’s Sleep Problems by Dr. Richard Ferber 
– The No-Cry Sleep Solution by Elizabeth Pantley 
– Secrets of the Baby Whisperer by Tracy Hogg 

If you are outside of the US, please read the books that are popular in your area. For instance, in the UK, Gina Ford’s book is popular. 

There are, of course, other sleep books on the shelves which are variations on the above models or methods. If you have time to skim through them – great! The more informed you are, the better!
