Hi Belinda,

I am by no means an expert, as my Baby hasn't even arrived yet! But I have just finished reading
Baby Sleep Book. By Dr William Sears & Martha Sears. I found it very enjoyable to read, and you don't have to read cover to cover. You basically start at Chapter 3 and work your way 'around' the other chapters as you come across something that interests you.
It is a very positive book and it is because of this book that I have made the decision to co-sleep with my Baby.
There are no 'you must do this or you must do that' statements. Its full of practical ideas for both breast feed and bottle fed babies, sleeping with your child, without your child, back to work, etc etc. You go with what works for you.
My friend lent me this book and she has a 9month old, and she practices the comforted sleep/no cry method and she loves this book also.
Hope this has helped.
