  The better your baby sleeps, the better you sleep -- nobody knows this more than bleary-eyed new parents. Here's a welcome thought: you can actually teach your baby to sleep through the night, the same way you show a baby how to smile or respond to your voice. This revolutionary program is based on a simple idea: There comes a time when a baby is ready to sleep through the night, which this expert calls the core night . By properly leading up to the core night, and by learning to identify that time in the baby's sleep life, both you and your baby will be able to enjoy restful nights. Find out what to do during pregnancy to prepare the baby for proper sleep rhythms. Become aware of things you might be doing that keep your baby from sleeping well, and what to do when the baby is awake that helps sleep come early and long enough. Learn some unusual answers to the age-old question of whether to pick up a baby that awakens in the night. Perhaps most valuable is the list of Twelve Golden Rules , a trouble-shooting reference for helping any child sleep well through the first three years of life.
