About the author

Prolific author Cynthia MacGregor has had 54 (at last count!) books published conventionally and another over-50 published as e-books. A full-time freelance writer/editor, she works from a home office In Palm Springs FL, just outside West Palm Beach, where she writes books, ghostwrites books for others, writes “almost anything if the price is right” (web copy, catalog copy, advertisements, business materials, and lots more), and edits books, magazines, websites, and “whatever else needs editing.”

She loves writing so much that it’s even one of her hobbies. For example, she writes all the plays produced by the Palm Springs Players, a South Florida community theatre group, for which she gets “no money but lots of enjoyment.” She also enjoys wordplay with an online punsters group, PUNY, and when possible travels to the annual O. Henry World Championship Pun-Off, a wordplay event held every May in Austin, TX, where she has appeared some years as a competitor and other years as a judge.

Cynthia is site owner of both www.TheSoloParent.com and www.ThePublicApology.com and is producer and host of Solo Parenting, a weekly TV show seen in South Florida, whose audience is single parents, whether divorced, widowed, or never-married, custodial or visitational, moms or dads.

Loving her career, Cynthia believes herself truly blessed and says, “There is no one in the world whom I’d want to trade lives with.”

[Kayla · Rating 2 out of 5]

It's an ok book. Full of information you'd think would be useful, but is not. For instance, it says if your baby already knows how to sleep though the night but does not, put her to bed 1/2 hour earlier.

It does not work. She just woke up 1/2 earlier to scream until she got a bottle and then she woke up a full 2 hours before she usually does all ready for the day to start.

If you're looking for an eighth grade book report on baby sleep, this is the book for you! Otherwise, check out some of the reputable titles that MacGregor is mindlessly parroting.

Good book, not a lot of info on newborns though.
