Editorial Reviews for Solve Your Child's Sleep Problems
Consumer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Loved this book! Comment: This book was not at all about letting baby cry it out. It has systematic steps that I could follow to help my baby learn to soothe himself. I learned how to teach my baby to put himself to sleep. It is amazing what babies can do when you understand them and this book really helps with that. Customer Rating: Summary: Hands down the best sleep book you can buy! Comment: I tried Pantley's "no cry" sleep solution only to have my 12 month old son cry hysterically for more than 1 1/2 hours. It was far harder for him to have me in the room the entire time than for me to leave and periodically check on him. Like many, I avoided Ferber like the plague believing his method to be barbaric. And, like many, my understanding of Ferber's method was completely incorrect. I am on my third night of "Ferberization" and it is going well. He cried for 30 minutes the first night, and 45 minutes the second and third night. On day two I tried putting him in his crib for a nap and removing him if he did fall asleep within 30 minutes. I think this caused a set back as my smart little guy expected Mommy to pick him up in 30 minutes that night and threw a massive tantrum when I did not do so. I have taken Ferber's advice and allow him to nap wherever he falls asleep during the day. Bottomline-Ferber's book is wonderful. It is a quick, informative and fabulous read. Save yourself a lot of $$$ and just buy it first! I wish I would have. Customer Rating: Summary: A classic Comment: This book helped me with my toddler, now considering colleges. Now I prescribe it for clients whose children are going through developmental sleep changes. Having a child who is a good sleeper may sound trivial, but it is an important gift to give a child and Dr. Ferber knows how to help. Customer Rating: Summary: Eh, sleeping hasn't changed Comment: I was disappointed that only a few pages of the entrie book really discusses what specifically to do at night to put your child to sleep and what to do when they wake up during the night. I wish there was more about just this! The other chapters don't provding anything hands on regarding sleep. Our daughter still does not sleep, and the methods suggested only made her cry even harder. I think she is just destined to be a terrible sleeper - even though the book claims all kids will eventually sleep. She is 7 months old and waking up 3-5 times a night. :( Customer Rating: Summary: Read the whole book - it isn't cruel, not sleeping is cruel Comment: I just found myself recommending this book to a sleepless couple with two children. My husband and I "ferberized" our son many years ago after we, ourselves were at our wits end. You are not great parents when you are sleep-deprived. Parents need and deserve some private time. I was flabergasted the first time I heard the Ferber method being described as cruel. It isn't cruel. Rather it makes sense, it is based on research, and, most importantly, it works. If your eyes are itchy and red from not sleeping - go ahead get the book. Read the whole thing. It only take a few days to see improvement.
