Review title: It may work, but at what cost?
Product review: Dr Ferber is a sleep specialist and explains human sleep accurately and completely. What is missing from this book is compassion. Certainly, any baby left in the crib to cry to sleep will eventually "get it" that no one is coming back. However, I question what this does to the parent/child bond and to the baby's view of the world. Furthermore, many of my support group friends who Ferberized took several weeks of torment until their baby was sleeping better, and many of the mothers cried through the process. And then they seem to regress quite often and have to do the crying-it-out process again and again. I found just as much accurate sleep information, and a more compassionate plan in another book called The No-Cry Sleep Solution. I had just as much success as my friends, but did it without the pain of the crying.
