Editorial Reviews:

You've tried everything. Warm milk. Bedtime stories. Sharing your bed. But your child still has problems falling asleep. Dr. Richard Ferber can help. Director of the Sleep Laboratory and Center for Pediatric Sleep Disorders at Children's Hospital in Boston, Dr. Ferber is widely recognized as the nation's leading authority on children's sleep problems.

Practical and easy to understand, Solve Your Childs' Sleep Problems tells you how to handle these situations in children aged one to six:

* Refusing to go to bed
* Colic and other medical problems
* Restlessness and insomnia
* Night terrors
* Bedwetting
* Headbanging and body rocking

And other problems that keep you and your child awake in the night.

Based on six years of intensive research in a top medical facility, Solve Your Child's Sleep Problems is packed with tips, suggestions, sample problems and solutions, and a bibliography of children's "go-to-sleep" books.

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.

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.

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. :(

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.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Sad, sad book
Comment: I find that a man, even with credentials, is looking at this without any compassion. Babies and children are made to be protected and it is wired into their genes and they don't have sleep problems, just the parents who decide to not attachment parent.
I really tried to be open about this book, but it was a really sad read and I would not recommend it to anyone who loves their child.
It is an improvement from the first Ferber books, but still is so twisted.
