Book Reviews of The 90-Minute Baby Sleep Program: Follow Your Child's Natural Sleep Rhythms for Better Nights and Naps
Book Review: Helpful, but don't expect a miracle
Summary: 3 Stars
The information in this book has been somewhat helpful in trying to unravel our baby's sleep problems, but don't expect a miracle. At least we haven't seen one. We have religiously employed the 90-minute sleep program's principles for the last seven months, but still have daily struggles with daytime sleep. I can only conclude that either this cycle holds loosely for some babies, or there is more to predicatable baby sleep than just following ultradian rhythms. The scientific and clinical information is interesting, but can lead to immense frustration when your child won't "cooperate" with the science that supposedly drives his behavior. That said, this book is worth having on hand and comes closer to helping than anything else I've read (and I've read most of the baby sleep books on the market, trust me!).

Summary of The 90-Minute Baby Sleep Program: Follow Your Child's Natural Sleep Rhythms for Better Nights and Naps
For every parent who struggles with their baby's sleep (and for every parent who wishes their toddler had better sleep habits), finally a straightforward, all-natural solution to help baby get the sleep she needs-both through the night and during the day.A sleep researcher with a Ph.D. in neuroscience, Dr. Polly Moore has created a simple, foolproof method based on the basic human rest and activity cycle (BRAC), which occurs every hour and a half. According to the BRAC, baby should go back for a nap a mere 90 minutes after waking up-that's right: 90 minutes.
The program is called N.A.P.S.-Note time when baby wakes up, Add 90 minutes, Play, feed, or pursue other activities, then, at the end of the 90 minutes, Soothe baby back to sleep. When baby wakes up again, whether after a short or a long nap, start the cycle over. And, although it sounds counterintuitive, frequent napping actually helps baby sleep through the night.
In a reassuring and accessible style, Dr. Moore explains how and why the program works; the benefits of napping-a happier, healthier baby with a headstart on cognitive development and emotional intelligence; how to implement it for babies at various ages, from two weeks to a year; and how to use it to solve common sleep programs, such as a baby's need to be held, baby waking up too early in the morning, baby getting a second wind before bedtime, baby confusing day and night, and more. The Wire-O-bound book includes a guided journal for recording baby's sleepy signals and sleep difficulties, a daily log for keeping track of baby's nap times, and space to note baby's milestones-all peppered with humorous, inspirational quotes.
