Whether or not you believe in crying it out - read this book. Ferber suggested method for breaking sleep associations is conterversial (and misrepresented) and in all honesty I am not sure it is for me. That said, I learnt more about sleep from reading this book than I did from any other book and regret neither buying nor reading it. This book goes through how to set a schedule for your child and delves into more setting more realistic expectations of sleeping hours and explains how to detect sleep disorders that go beyond wanting to feed at night. Do not dismiss this book off hand based on someone else opinion of CIO - this book can teach you a lot. ( )

Excellent book. Totally misinterpreted by the masses. Contrary to popular misconception, Ferber does not suggest "cry it out". This book is the only method that worked for my daughter. Sleep is a beautiful thing. If you are against letting your child cry in short intervals where you provide comfort in order to teach them to self soothe, then this book is not for you. ( )

I hated this book, and I complete disagree with his suggested method of allowing your child to cry his/herself to sleep. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com (ISBN 0671620991, Paperback)

When your child isn't sleeping, chances are that you aren't either. Solve Your Child's Sleep Problems--a tired parent's essential for more than 10 years--offers valuable advice and concrete help when lullabies aren't enough to lull your child into dreamland. Based on Ferber's research as the director of Boston's Center for Pediatric Sleep Disorders at Children's Hospital, the book is a practical, easy-to-understand guide to common sleeping problems for children ages one to six. Detailed case histories on night waking, difficulty sleeping, and more serious disorders such as sleep apnea and sleepwalking help illustrate a wide variety of problems and their solutions. New parents will benefit from Ferber's proactive advice on developing good sleeping patterns and daily schedules to ensure that sleeping problems don't develop in the first place. You'll also find a bibliography of children's books on bedtime, sleep, and dreaming, as well as a list of helpful organizations. Here's a book that is sure to put you and your whole family to sleep--in this case, that's a good thing.
