The Sleep Lady's Good Night, Sleep Tight by Kim West
This gentle, proven method teaches your baby and toddler how to fall asleep and stay asleep without leaving them to cry it out alone! Her gentle technique, called The Sleep Lady Shuffle, helps parents teach their children how to put themselves to sleep and back to sleep for nights and naps. The Shuffle involves staying with the child while they learn to sleep, gradually moving away from the crib or bed and out of the room.
I am passing this book over to my brother-in-law's daughter who just had a baby. We will be documenting the progress of this method with her baby who is now 12 weeks old.
