Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
The Baby Sleep Book
Martha Sears · 2008
72/100
👍 Worth It
The Sears family brings genuine pediatric credibility and a compassionate, non-judgmental tone that makes this far less stressful than most sleep books. It shines for parents who want options rather than a single method, and its attachment-parenting philosophy is warm and well-articulated. Parents should know the co-sleeping guidance predates current AAP safe-sleep recommendations, so a conversation with their pediatrician is wise before acting on those sections.
