Acclaimed Childhood Sleep Expert Provides Advice for Parents Via New iPhone App

CHICAGO, July 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Parents will find guidance on how to create healthy sleep habits for their infants in a new iPhone App created by distinguished pediatricians Dr. Marc Weissbluth and his son, Dr. Daniel Weissbluth.  

This first-of–its-kind App, the "Weissbluth Method Infant Nap App" was inspired by Dr. Marc Weissbluth's landmark book, Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child and is also compatible with iPod Touch and iPad.    

This App, designed for parents to use with any infant from birth to 12 months, gives not only age-specific sleep advice but also age-specific "nap reminders" to ensure the infant becomes a healthy sleeper. Effectively, this is the first mobile device "sleep trainer" for infants based on the Weissbluth Method, and it is twin-compatible.  

For a limited time only, the cost to download the App is being reduced from $5 to $ .99.
