In order to promote strong attachment between parents and babies, it is critical that infants get enough sleep nutrition. When babies sleep well, their moods are better, they cry less and they enjoy time spent with their moms and dads in a way that overtired, cranky babies cannot. When parents get the sleep they need, they are more loving, attentive and patient with their children as well. Simply put, when families feel well, they bond well.

The Sleepeasy Solution book and DVD encourage parents to help their babies get the rest they need. By addressing critical issues around sleep, (i.e. the importance of predictable bedtime routines, creating a good sleep environment, going down awake and well timed schedules) Jill Spivack, MSW and Jennifer Waldburger, LCSW teach parents all of the important factors for encouraging little ones to fall into a predictable sleep routine--for both naps and nighttime. In the end, infants become more secure and feel happier throughout the day--crying less and sleeping better. Once babies sleep well, parents find they also have some time to nurture themselves and their relationships which ultimately allows them to be more present and loving with their baby during the day.

Jill Spivack, MSW and Jennifer Waldburger, LCSW are the co-founders of Sleepy Planet in Los Angeles and the creators of "The Sleepeasy Solution" book and DVD. They have been featured in a variety of media, including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Today Show, CBS Evening News, Good Morning America, Parenting, Variety and Web MD. You can learn more about their program on their website, www.sleepeasysolution.com .
