Review quote
"The Jassey brothers, partners in a Long Island pediatric paractice, have helped thousands of parents successfully sleep-train their newborns by the time they are a month old. The "Jassey Way" is practical, realistic, and based on the undeniable link between eating--specifically digesting--and sleeping."
--Publishers Weekly

"A common sense method for getting your baby to remain sleeping long after you’ve tucked him or her in."
--Shaul Turner, FOX News

"Their method has been tested for over twenty years and boasts a 90 percent success rate. After just two weeks on the doctor’s program, baby Peyton was sleeping 7 to 8 hours per night, and so were his relieved parents. Thanks to the Jassey method, many new parents and their babies are enjoying more peaceful nights of sweet, uninterrupted dreams."

PREFACE

Let There Be Sleep!

As pediatricians with more than thirty years of combined experience, we’ve helped countless parents sleep train their newborns, with great success—regardless of whether they were first-time parents, skeptical about the process or eagerly on board from the start.

Letter to the First-Time Mom

Hi First-Time Mom!

Congratulations on the new addition to your family and welcome to the most exciting, amusing, difficult, mystifying and downright rewarding adventure you could ever hope to have on this earth.

One of the first questions we ask new moms and dads we see in our practice is: “Do you want your baby to sleep through the night?”

Since you’re reading this book, your answer is probably “Yes,” or at least “Maybe . . . as long as it’s safe” or something similar. Or perhaps it’s “Yes! Good Lord, yes!” Those are the most common reactions we get.

But some parents look at us like it’s a trick question. Like they’re thinking:

“This is a test. Infants aren’t supposed to sleep through the night, they need to be fed constantly, like a parking meter, and if we act like we don’t know that, Dr. Jassey is going to report us to child services.”

The reason that this question is not totally rhetorical is that some parents actually answer “No!”
