Ahem! At least Dr. Sears never claimed to be a brain surgeon. Guess he finally figured out what the rest of us (I, for one) already knew...

Welcome to this month's Snooze Week!
Happy Holidays! It was a pleasure to hear from so many of you last month! Once again early rising strikes a cord! We got hundreds of emails in response to the Early Riser topic! Please remember
that The Sleep Lady is available for individual consultation to
discuss and hopefully solve your child's early rising pattern. Many of you forwarded me the insightful article in this week's Wall Street Journal - "New Advice on Getting Babies Back to Sleep". Dr. Ferber softens his stance on letting infants cry themselves to sleep and Dr Sears says he now thinks his earlier books placed
too much emphasis on catering to the baby's needs and
did not address the parents' needs enough--"What your baby needs is a happy, rested mother" quote from Sears). Thankfully, you and I have been here waiting for them to join us in The Sleep Lady's middle-of-the-road-approach this whole time!

It's about time!
