Even if you disagree with this book's program, it's worth a read. There is a great deal of valuable information on how babies sleep, and the theory of sleep associations and how they relate to a baby's sleep patterns is convincing -- especially if you're a mother for whom this program worked.Nocturnal enuresis, or bedwetting, is another common childhood problem that is thoroughly addressed in the book. The different causes are explained, along with a thorough, behavioral approach to removing the stigma and reducing or eliminating the problem.

It worked and now we get to sleep at night! It was recommended by our pediatrician. It only took 3 nights before our child started sleeping through the night. I highly recommend it!

I bought this book because my sister had read it to solve her kids (all over 6 months) sleep problems. I didn't find Ferber's methods as harsh as people make them sound. He explains everything very clearly and provides clarity on a very frustrating topic. I have a 2 month old, and although you should not use Ferber's methods before 6 months of age, it has been very useful. It has helped me understand where the problems start in the first place (i.e. sleep associations) and how to avoid them. Now, I will hopefully never have to use his methods to "Solve" my child's (nonexistent) sleep problems.

Was expecting more related to babiesI thought that this book was written for babies but was surprised to find that only a short little section of the book focused on babies.

Our Pediatrician recommended it for us to read to help our son. It makes you feel as though you are not alone with your child's sleep problems and offers several solutions on a humane way to help solve them. I recommend it for every parent.... Even if you think your child does not have a problem, it is very informative

How to Solve your Child's Sleep ProblemsReview created: 09/18/06

I was hesitant to read Ferber's book as I'm not of the cry-it-out camp and was concerned he would be too tyrannical. I was wrong to hesitate, and should've read it sooner.
Ferber isn't the cry-it-out tyrant that he sometimes gets labeled. Instead he knows a lot about sleep, and shares it with you in his book. His 'solutions' come with flexibility, and while they may involve crying, the amount of crying if up to you if you choose one of his methods. He shares information and tips for dealing with so many sleep issues, I can't imagine that he's missed any. His 'solutions' also extend to preschoolers, adolescents, teens, and adults, and I look forward to applying them to myself as well.
I recommend this book to anyone looking to either prevent or treat sleep concerns in their families. Read it with an open mind, and sleep better because of it.
