The Mom's Choice Awards has named the series of issue-specific baby sleep books by Heidi Holvoet among the best in family-friendly media, products and services. With refreshing clarity, each book effectively tackles one of the three major sleep challenges in infants: self soothing, napping and – of course – how to help baby sleep through the night.
PRLog - Sep 10, 2013 - Unlike the many baby sleep books which tend to cover sleep as one overall topic, Heidi Holvoet has created issue-specific volumes. The Mom's Choice Awards® Silver Recipients are entitled “No-Tears Self Soothing”, “No-Tears Sleeping Through the Night” and “Nap in a Snap”.
“When parents face sleep issues with their baby or toddler, they are not looking for general facts about sleep or an overview of all possible sleep issues. Nor do they want to be reminded of what they should have done to avoid the current problem,” explains the founder of award-winning website Baby-Sleep-Advice.com, “What they need is hands-on tools to start solving their specific problem, right away. It is with that need in mind that I created the 3-step programs featured in the books.“
By focusing on one single issue per book, Heidi Holvoet indeed manages to give an in-depth approach for each baby sleep problem separately which leads to practical and complete guides.
About her sleep method and the techniques in the books, the passionate professional sleep consultant says “The 3-step programs by design take into account the uniqueness of each baby and family. The process parents automatically go through by doing the three steps, helps them pin down the exact cause(s) of the poor sleep. Then they go on to discover the specific needs of their baby. Not the needs of a “general x-month old”, but their very own baby at this very moment. And then come the techniques, used at the right time in the right way, which make them all the more powerful.”
As the “No-Tears” part of the titles gives away, these baby sleep books offer gentle advice which never requires letting baby cry it out. The author advocates the gentle techniques especially because they give much more solid, lasting results. “Sleeping is a skill to be learned, exactly like learning how to sit, crawl, walk, talk, … Pulling her up on her feet and then letting her cry for an hour more has never taught a 7-month old to walk properly. So let's not expect healthy sleeping skills by doing a similar thing.”
“All babies perfect each skill at their own pace and will come to excel at it when they are ready – not when forced”.
