 Great Book! October 15, 2008
I was 7 months pregnant when we decided it was time for my 2 year-old to sleep in his room. He used to sleep on the bed with us. He would only fall asleep in his room, if I or my husband sits next to his toddler bed . This became a problem, because he wakes up at 2 or 3 am, and sometimes unable to fall back to sleep right away. So, we go in and out of his room thinking he is asleep only to wake up again, and this left both of us tired, and frustrated. After purchasing the book, and applying Dr. Ferber's methods, my son is able to fall asleep on his own. Now, we do our routine, give him a kiss goodnite, and he goes to sleep. In the middle of the night, when he awakens, I just wait as the book recommends before checking up on him, and most of the time he is able to fall back to sleep on his own, and we don't need to go in his room. It was difficult to let him cry it out as the book suggested, but this method worked for us, and my son sleeps better at night!
Amazing - I wish I would've read it sooner! September 25, 2008
My dear daughter just turned 8-months, she is our second baby. She was getting up three or four times a night wanting to be nursed back to sleep. My husband and I are going on a cruise and decided that we needed to do something so our poor parents were not getting up with her. So we read this book (that I bought for my 1st child but never needed) and after three nights, she is sleeping 10+ hours! I was skeptical after the first night of trying it and figured it was a fluke that she slept 5 hours without waking but after the third night I'm convinced this book is genius!
Good Advise if Your Child had Problems Sleeping September 24, 2008
If your child is having troubles sleeping and is older than 3 months old, this book does have good advise and an interesting theory about sleep. However if your child isn't really having problems a good book that just helps you learn about and understand a baby's and a child's sleep schedule and what to expect from children at different ages, try "Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child."
Miraclulous! September 23, 2008

I was very worried about letting my 4 month old cry it out. However, we were desperate after having to rock her for sometimes up to an hour for naps which she would sometime wake up from 20 minutes later. AND, she always cried and cried in our arms anyway! We decided to get this book and read it despite all the bad reviews on the Internet. It is truly amazing what happened. The first night of "ferberizing" she cried for 45 minutes. We went in at 3 min, 5 min then every 10 min. It went better than I though...though it was very, very hard. However, after that night....one night....she now goes to sleep without crying for all her naps and bedtime sleep. We are on day 5 now. I am truly amazed. It's remarkable. However, I do believe we got the timing just right. She was starting to sleep quicker when we were rocking her in the previous week and I think she just matured to the point where she was ready. Honestly I think had we not done this she would have been more irritated by us rocking her. I'm soooo glad we got this book. It really isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be. There are some very interesting discussions about sleep. It's way better than other books like The Baby Whispere and The No Cry Sleep Solution. Don't waste your time on them. At least get this book and read it then decide if your baby is ready.
It's truly amazing that my 4 month old is sleeping all on her own. She is so much happier, less fussier...AND she slept through the entire night last night...7pm to 7am when she has always woken for at least one feed!! A miracle.

I bought this book thinking it would solve my six month old's sleeping problems but made them worse. The progressive waiting and not picking up my kid when she was crying made her very mad and unable to sleep. After 2 weeks of working on the Ferber method she cried for 3 hours straight. I don't have a problem with Ferber's ideas and principles but there isn't a chapter on what to do if his way doesn't work. A little egotistical on his part that he didn't include a chapter on failure.
