Just wanted to share with you how excited I am that I have been selected to review an advance copy of Elizabeth Pantley's new book The No-Cry Nap Solution. I should be getting my copy in early December and I look forward to reading it and sharing my thoughts with you. It's especially timely for me as I have been struggling with a few nap issues with my children so I really can't wait to get my copy.
From the publisher:
The No-Cry Nap Solution: Guaranteed Gentle Ways to Solve All Your Naptime Problems
Bestselling parenting author brings her solutions to your naptime dilemmas
Will your child only nap in your arms, in a swing, or after elaborate rituals? Does your child take cat naps--or none at all? Let world-renowned, trusted parenting author Elizabeth Pantley help you. She'll guide you with the same sensitive expertise and gentle approach used in her other No-Cry bestsellers.
Research shows that naps improve health, mood, growth, and well-being. Yet children often resist the naps they need. The results are fussy, crying babies and cranky, grouchy kids who also have trouble sleeping at night!
In The No-Cry Nap Solution Pantley explains to parents of children ages newborn to kindergarten the importance of napping to both behavior during the day and sleeping during (and through!) the night. She then shares with you her gentle, loving techniques--tested on families of all sizes and circumstances--and shows you how you can customize her solutions for your own family. Pantley addresses issues such as children who resist naps, dealing with schedule changes, turning short naps into longer ones, helping a child go from needing motion to sleep to "stationery"� sleep, nursing at naptime, solving daycare napping problems, and more.

It's been a very long time...
The reason bloggers often don't blog is because they are too busy. You know, IRL - in real life. I am no exception. Life intervened for a while. At the end of June, we welcomed our daughter Noa in a beautiful, speedy, midwife-assisted home birth. And two weeks later we moved to Vancouver Island. The last few months we've been focusing on our family, on discovering who this newcomer is and on helping our three year old son adjust to the major changes.
But I'm back, at least on light duty, after a long hiatus. There is a lot of news to catch up on.
