Review title: Ferber recanted in 1999
Product review: In an article in the "New Yorker" magazine in 1999, Ferber recanted his views on co-sleeping and child "independence" (see http://users.lmi.net/sherryr/thoughts1.htm)Quote: "I read him two sentences I had read to my wife during one of our 2 A.M. showdowns: "Although taking your child into bed with you for a night or two may be reasonable if he is ill or very upset about something, for the most part this is not a good idea." And, "Sleeping alone is an important part of his learning to be able to separate from you without anxiety and to see himself as an independent individual.""I wish I hadn't written those sentences," Ferber replied. "That came out of some of the existing literature. It is a blanket statement that is just not right. There's plenty of examples of co-sleeping where it works out just fine. My feeling now is that children can sleep with or without their parents. What's really important is that the parents work out what they want to do.""
