Every parent knows the sound of a baby who won't settle down to sleep. Crying and restlessness, especially in young babies, can be both distressing and tiring.

Ria Blom is an expert in swaddling -- ways of wrapping babies securely, to help them relax naturally into sleep. Swaddling works by inducing a sense of safety and comfort in the baby -- and it can work wonders for the parent as well!

Ria Blom's ideas are increasingly being implemented in health centres and hospitals in the Netherlands, and have seen a remarkable 42% in reduction in crying after one week of using her techniques, and 50% after two weeks.

This book offers quick solutions for parents under immediate stress, as well as plenty of background information about sleeping patterns and baby routines.

About The Author
Ria Blom, born 1949, has worked at the anthroposophical health centre in Utrecht since 1985. Since 1994 she has specialised in and researched the effects of swaddling on restlessness in young children.




Reviews

'This is a very practical guide to how to deal with a baby that won't sleep, eats irregularly and basically drives its parents up the wall. [...] How to approach the swaddling technique is extensively and explained and beautifully and clearly illustrated. Ria Blom writes in a very clear and direct way, guiding you with a sure hand, but at the same time full of warmth and care.

If you are at the end of your tether and you simply don't know where to turn for help, this book may be just what you have been waiting for.'
-- Anna Phillips, New View, Autumn 2005




I have been using this book as part of my work in sleep support and using rhythm with babies and young children. I have not only found the book beneficial for parents experiencing sleep problems but also as an incredible tool for all new parents to understand more about sleep, over stimulation (which reduces sleep) and poor feeding and crying as a result of the cycle of lack of sleep. The first part of the book could be used by anyone with a young baby to set up a healthy rhythm, which promotes sleep, full feeding and a happier baby and family. The feedback from my clients has been incredible, as they have been easily able to see what is a tired sign, and how to implement the use of wrapping and rhythm to support their baby to go to sleep. The second half of the book will take your family through how to and why swaddle a baby that is in a state of lack of sleep and a tiring cycle that has everyone at their wits end.
I cannot recommend this book enough!
