 Written on February 13, 2008 Summary: The Answer to Our Prayers Like many parents, we were at our wits end trying to get our 8 month old to take naps or go to bed. While she often slept okay through the night besides waking up to feed, bedtime was a long, drawn out, hour long affair filled with stress. We faced each night with dread trying to rock and soothe her till she was out. Naptimes were unheard of. We tried "crying it out" by just letting her scream, but that only made matters worse. Finally I decided I was fed up with relying on second hand information and misguided Internet gossip to try and solve our problems. It seemed like everybody who'd ever so much as looked at a baby assumed they must be an expert. So we picked up this book. The first thing I could say was that I was surprised at the length. Everyone who'd ever mentioned this book simply truncated it's contents into "let them cry a few minutes then come back and do it all over again". I think I expected it to be 10 pages long. :P What I got was a long book filled with the actual facts and information about infants and their sleep cycles that I had been desperately searching for. Doctor Ferber references many examples from his years of experience helping families solve their children's sleep problems in the actual medical facility he has worked through. He references so many different issues that families could have that I had no problem finding examples and situations which applied to our baby, along with specific solutions and OPTIONS for how to treat them. We will be holding onto this book for a long time, as it guides good sleep habits well into the teenage years. All I can say is, thank God for this book! Written on February 13, 2008 Summary: Much-needed advice for an all-night nursing baby! I live in an all-natural, Attachment Parenting town in Vermont where Ferber is a bad word, and "Ferberizing" your child is seen as equivalent to abuse. Before reading this book, I too thought of Dr. Ferber as "The Sleep Nazi." However, I turned to his expertise in desperation when my second baby was nursing every hour or two all night long at six months old. I was on the brink of sanity and needed some concrete help about how to change her sleep habits. This book is well-written, organized and researched, and Dr Ferber is much more mild than I expected given his reputation. His plan of "controlled crying" can be adapted according to parents' and children's needs and temperaments. Within 4 days my six-month old was sleeping 3-4 hour stretches at night-- a huge improvement. And this was without following his plan to the letter (ie. being much more soft-hearted!). If you are struggling with sleep, give Dr. Ferber a chance.  Written on January 30, 2008 Summary: It didn't Work I was diligent with the methods in this book. However, for the first week he got so scared everytime we left he $#^@ his diaper, after a month of this method, my son was falling asleep faster, but still falling asleep crying and sitting up against his crib rails; he was beside himself in emotional pain; and it made him more anxious and clingy during the day, because he felt abandoned by his parents when he needed them. I had specific problems for which there were no answers in this book. It is not right for every baby. However, less intense, laid back children may respond to this well. I think you have to know your child and do what is right for them. I have had better success with more sensitive methods. Written on January 15, 2008 Summary: This book will help if you put in the effort Our 13 month old needed my help going back to sleep 2-3 times each night and her doctor wasn't giving any helpful suggestions. I bought this book and the No-Cry Sleep Solution by Elisabeth Pantley at the same time. While some of the background information about babies' sleep cycles is similar between the books, Solve Your Child's Sleep Problems was exhaustive in the potential causes for ongoing sleep disturbances and emphatic that one should determine all of the causes in order to create a plan that will correct the whole problem. No-Cry Sleep Solution made a small dent in the problem in a few weeks, but within three days of finishing Ferber's book we had our daughter sleeping through the night and napping better during the day. I found that by using Ferber's proposed schedule in combination with Dr. Harvey Karp's "Toddlerese" from "The Happiest Toddler on the Block" we were able to get her to settle in just a few minutes when we put her to bed, and while she did still wake and cry the first few nights, she only cried for at most 3 minutes and then went back to sleep on her own. I passed along the book to my best friend who says that my sticky notes were in exactly the right places for their situation with their son. I think I have already recommended this book to every friend and acquaintance with a child under three, and one who has a six year old. If you have a child over six months old who can't fall asleep on her own, buy this book. Written on January 2, 2008 Summary: The Ferber Method Works The book delivers on the title. We have been having trouble getting our daughter to sleep at night at various times and for various reasons. The methods in this book are well explained and clearly presented. We have had excellent success using the methods in the book. The whole house is sleeping better, and is much less stressed out. |
