Review title: Get Ferber's book
Product review: Weissbluth's book is poorly orgainized, wordy, and hard to read. It comes across as preachy despite attempts to cite academic sources. Besides that, it didn't work for us (and many others). "Why is my baby so different from all these mentioned in this book?" I wondered. I expected to hear her cry for 3-7 nights and then sleep well...SHE DID (for about a night...then we were back in the same boat for another week...then another)! Besides that, some of the ideas are ridiculous, to me (eg putting your child to bed for a super early bedtime when necessary). I would NEVER consider putting my child to bed before 6pm again, but for some reason, under Dr. Weissbluth's persuasion, even tried this b/c of his "sleep begets sleep" philosophy. If you read this book, you start thinking all babies need 12 hours of sleep at night + 2 2 hour naps. BULL!! What finally worked? Ferbers method--mostly because of his more realistic expectations of how much a baby SHOULD be sleeping.
