"Hello,

My daughter had a baby boy on April 8, 2008. He doesn't sleep very much. I am worried about him. His eyes are blood shot sometimes. He doesn't take naps and when he does it's only for a few minutes. At night he sleeps about 4 to 6 hours and he doesn't want to go back to sleep. He likes to socialize at 3:00 AM!

I told my daughter about your book and she replied "babies don't develop a good sleep habit until 4 months."

Starting at the end of August my daughter wants me to watch my grandson full time as she returns to work. I told her she better get his sleep habits nipped in the bud before I start taking care of him!

What can I do to help my daughter realize how important it is for her baby to get sleep during the day and at night?

Thank you."

Hi, Linda,

If you have bought the book or even noticed the tips on the website, it will be a snap for you to start establishing better sleep habits for your daughter's baby. The results come quickly, actually, once you start following the baby's signs of sleepiness.

Then our next challenge may be for you and I to help your daughter to follow those same good habits the rest of the time, when you're not with him.

(I'm being presumptuous here, but I have come across this issue more than once, in the very way you describe it)

Let me know how things are going, if you're so inclined---

Polly.
