Why We Made This Video

As the parents of a five year old daughter and two year old son, we know first hand the challenges new parents face with babies and sleep. With our first baby, we suffered from sleep deprivation for over a year and we were totally exhausted. During this time, we met so many parents with infant sleep issues, who also didn't know where to turn. So, we decided to utilize our skills as video producers to find the most important and relevant information and get it out to other new families.

Our hope is that this program will help parents resolve sleep issues and gain some valuable perspective. One of the big differences between this tape and other materials on the market, is that it covers both sleep training and co-sleeping. There is no right method or surefire solution, because every family is unique.

Rather than advocating one sleep method over another, our goal is to educate and support parents, enabling them to make informed choices and formulate the plan that is best for their family.

Good Luck and Sweet Dreams.
