Solve Your Child's Sleep Problems by Richard Ferber (2006, Paperback, Revised)

i loved that this book gave me confidence to tackle my daughter's sleep problems and get ready to help my second child to sleep well from the start. i needed help and a plan to get my daughter to sleep through the night (at 24 months!) and to not wake for bottles, and i wanted her to be able to go to sleep without needing a bottle. all of these things were addressed within two nights' sleep, and her naps and nightly sleep have been incredible! now her schedule is what we wanted it to be. i never read the book before because it was described to me as being very inhumane towards children, but in fact, it's very compassionate. the medical information regarding sleep patterns in adults and children gives even more reasons why you should help your child work towards a healthy sleep schedule. a five star book! i know i'll need it in the future with other sleep problems and i'm so glad i've got it in my library now.

Interesting reading. Baby not sleeping well--trying the examples. Would tell friends about the book.
