why won't you sleep?!

by Macall Gordon, M.A. & Kim West, M.S.W. 

This is the first sleep book to focus on children with a more sensitive, intense, alert, sleep-allergic temperament. It uses a non-Ferber-based sleep approach pioneered by Kim West (aka The Sleep Lady).

The fussy baby Book

by William & Martha Sears

The Searses had several children for whom their parenting strategies worked pretty well. And then they had Hayden. Hayden was what they called a "high-need baby." Those strategies did not work the same for her. This is a helpful, validating guide. (Fun fact: I contributed a bunch of the anecdotes/quotes in this book based on my own "high-need" child.)

Raising Your Spirited Baby

by Mary Sheedy Kurcinka

This is Mary's newest book based on her doctoral research on a spirited temperament in infancy. Another great, supportive read for parents of "livewires."

The Gentle Newborn Sleep Guide

by Kim West, MSW

This book will give you great and supportive information about newborn sleep and will not tell you how to "sleep train" at this young age.
