How Babies Sleep: The Gentle, Science-Based Method to Help Your Baby Sleep Through the Night
Sofia Axelrod - 2020
Newborn babies typically wake every two to three hours, and there’s nothing bleary-eyed, exhausted parents want more than a night of uninterrupted sleep. But while there’s plenty of advice out there, there is nothing that’s based on the latest cutting-edge research about sleep—until now. In How Babies Sleep, Sofia Axelrod, PhD—neuroscientist, sleep consultant, and mother of two—introduces the first baby sleep method that is truly rooted in the science of sleep. After having her first child, Axelrod realized that the typical baby sleep advice conflicted with the actual science of sleep, inlcuding the findings from her mentor’s Nobel Prize–winning sleep lab. She developed her transformative method based on the latest discoveries about our body’s circadian clock and how it is disturbed by light and other external stimuli. After seeing incredible results with her own babies, she has since counseled countless families in her groundbreaking method—which works with babies’ needs and helps little ones learn to self-soothe, fall asleep more easily, and stay asleep through the night. You’ll discover helpful tips that work, and learn: why using a red lightbulb (instead of a regular one) in the nursery at night can minimize wakings; why the age-old advice “don’t wake a sleeping baby” isn’t true; how to create a healthy routine; how to sleep train gently with minimal crying (under two minutes); and so much more in this revolutionary and effective book that will help both you and your baby enjoy a peaceful night’s sleep.
200 Motivational and inspirational Quotes That Will Inspire Your Success
Kathy Collins - 2015
They are valuable knowledge, wisdom and insights passed down to us from the past all the way to the present. Through these quotations, we are learning from their greatest experiences and wisdom. I personally use such motivational quotes throughout my life. I always surround myself with these quotes. I post them in such places so that I can be inspired every day. I believe that our circumstances can change based on what words we read, hear, and speak. Instead of keeping these to myself, I decided to compile 200 of the most inspiring quotes ever said so that you can also benefit from these words of wisdom. Some are by famous people and some are by those you probably never heard of but their quotes are in the same way remarkable. I trust you will find them insightful and useful. I hope it helps to motivates and inspires you to reach a new level of success and personal greatness in your life. Just as much as it does for me. Use these quotes to fill your life with positive, inspirational words that will fuel the engine of your mind. I certainly hope that you will also see this as a resource rather than just a quick article to read. I encourage you to save this as a resource so that you can come back to it when you need to be motivated. Even reading one or two of these every day will be a great source of positive energy for your day to day life.
