I like to read. I like to learn about my kids. I like my kids to sleep through the night. There are two books I have found instrumental in helping my kids sleep great.
The first is Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child by Marc Weissbluth. This book helps you feel empowered instead of guilty about putting your child to bed early. He helps you understand and conquer sleep problems. And he helps you understand why it is so important that your child gets enough sleep. A must read for any parent!
The second book I'd recommend is On Becoming Baby Wise. It is an easy read, and it gives you a very rigid schedule to follow. This is good and bad. Good for a new mom that has no idea how to get her child to sleep through the night, and bad because not every baby is the same. This book WILL help you get your child to sleep through the night if you follow its method. I did not follow it to the letter; I adapted it to my child. It did educate me, and I recommend it to every new mom I know.
My kids sleep 11+ hours a night. And I'm a better mom for it.
