Weaverville, NC – When "Crib Sheets Are You Covered? New Parent Sleep Deprivation Solutions: Practical and Effective Parent Strategies" first appeared in 2002, it was eagerly received by expectant and new parents in the United States and Canada even without a traditional publisher. “I made every copy myself,” explains parenting strategist Elizabeth Gardner, “my kids and I got to know the inside of our local Kinko’s pretty well. And the books came out looking more like notebooks than real books.” But none of that mattered to soon-to-be and new moms desperate for solutions. “They didn’t care what form the answers came in, they just wanted answers,” says Elizabeth, “and Crib Sheets delivers. Packed with practical and effective strategies, it’s a road map of help for exhausted parents.” Hailed on its first release as “…a definitive, must-have” – Heather Grace Stewart, Lachine, Canada, it remains, “…the mom written reality baby book that provides real solutions.” – Michelle Johnston, Brussels, Belgium. Now published in its third edition, Crib Sheets is still the only book on the market helping parents prepare before birth to get the sleep they need…"this isn’t just some pie-in-the-sky formula–it’
Sleep deprivation is undeniably the hardest part of parenting in baby’s first months. Newborns feed 8 to 12 times a day–that means 2 to 3 hour sleep intervals for mom and dad. Clearly, the traditional advice “sleep when baby sleeps” isn’t enough– new parents can’t always sleep when baby sleeps. Unrelenting responsibilities such as work, shopping, bill paying, appointments, errands, and meal preparation cannot always be done with baby awake. What then? Crib Sheets takes parents further, they learn: what tasks parents usually do with baby asleep, why, and how to minimize them; how to use the 15-minute baby contentment window to cook quickly and stress free; strategic placement of baby items and useful tools; how to accomplish the three most common errands without use of their vehicle; how to limit interruption of baby and parent naps by siblings, how to minimize bill payment and appointment time; how to make big brother and sister more self-reliant;
