Title: Not my philosophy
Product review: When I was pregnant with our first and only child I read many many books, including this one. I actually didn't even finish this one as it was not along the lines of my parenting philosophy. I found it harsh, anxiety producing and punishing honestly. This philosophy may work out fine for other parents, it just didn't feel right to me and went against my intuition of what we wanted for our son. Our son co-slept with us for the first 5 months. Since then however he has slept in his crib and wakes up once per night to breastfeed and often sleeps through the entire night - without harsh "sleep training" methods. I am not comfortable with Dr. Ferber's methods. If you feel the same way I do I would recommend reading more from Dr. Sear's. He promotes co-sleeping, attachment parenting, on demand breastfeeding and trusting your own instincts.
