Had some doubts, but it worked for our fussy baby! -
I tried this book and Ferber's method on our 4 month old and it didn't work...the FIRST TIME. When she was 5 months old we tried it again and prepared ourselves, with low expectations, and were pleasantly surprised it worked right off the bat! I think you have to know when YOUR baby is ready to sleep on his/her own. Ours obviously wasn't ready when she was 4 mos, but matured enough a month later. She was premature and colic-y for 4 mos, and we always had to rock her for hours to get her to sleep before laying her down, and naps, well she always had to be on a live person for those or she would cry, cry, cry her self AWAKE.
We followed Ferber's method almost exactly in chapter 4, with crying and checking in set incements. She slept through the night the first night and each subsequent night, no night-waking and never needed to be rocked to sleep. With naps, she cried a little longer, but alway got her self to sleep within 40 min max. She would wake up after 20 min each time she got herself to sleep, but instead of going in to her, we waited it out and she soothed herself back to sleep. YOu also have to decipher what is a TIRED cry and what is an ANGRY cry. If she's whimpering, you know she's tired and will soothe herself to sleep soon, if she's crying full force, you'll probably need to check on her to calm her down.
One thing I don't think Ferber put clearly in his book was whether or not you could pick the child up for the 1-2 minutes you got to check on her or whether to speak to her, etc. Also, could you spend a set amt of time soothing her before putting her down, ie, we rock for 2 minutes and set her down just so it's not just a cold "Laying her down in the crib and leave". He doesn't give a lot of details, but does relate others' stories similar to what your issue may be. The story of "Betsy" in chapter 4 was our baby to a T.
I recommend looking at this book from a library to start with and see if it's something you can see yourself doing. But I never thought a Cry it out method or sleep training would work for us and our colicy baby but was SO SURPRISED it finally worked and fast. OUr little girl is SO much happier from day to day now that she has good, independent rest! I also recommend Weissbluth's "Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child" - he gives a lot of background info on HOW babies sleep, and combined with Ferber's book here, you should have all the tools necessary for sleep training your child. Good Luck!

I bought this book b/c we have 4 children at home ranging from teenager to infant. I wanted to see about our oldest's sleep problem, when our 5 month old started waking up about every 1-2 hours. We weren't sleeping at all. So, we used the Ferber method to get him on schedule. And it worked exactly as he described it. In 2 nights he was back on a schedule and sleeping through the night. It has also helped me understand and help our teenager daughter's problem to fall asleep and stay asleep all night. Then out of no where one of my other sons started sleepwalking. I was terrified until I read about the cause and what I could do to help him. To say I have gotten my moneys worth out of this book, is an understatment. This is a must have book for parents. But, you really need to read the entire book before you start using it's methods. Ferbers methods are not cruel, but rather are a great tool to allow parents to set boundaries and enforce them.
Success in sleep training in 2 nights! -
I was very reluctant to try sleep training for our newborn, our first child. I had heard that Ferber was the "cry it out" doc and this is not what I wanted! However, this book was not only informative but quite compassionate and it made a lot of sense. We followed the instructions exactly and within 2 nights, our 5 month old baby was sleeping through the night for the most part! It was both a pleasant surprise (I couldn't believe it worked!) and a relief. Dr. Ferber has included recommendations on how to go through his book quickly and what he feels is essential to read prior to sleep training. This was a nice addition to include.
Great Book! -
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!

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!
