This guide to helping your child sleep through the night deals with all aspects of the subject including why babies cry, sleeping and feeding habits, physical, emotional and social effects, stress,... This description may be from another edition of this product.
The sleep training philosophy is similiar to the Ferber method, but we found this book more helpful with lots of practical examples and suggestions. For example, our baby was standing in the crib and we didn't know what to do. Easy to read - I finished in an evening. Our infant cried for less than an hour the first night, half hour the second and then was sleeping through the night. I did not like the idea of letting our baby cry at all, but after 10 months I decided that a couple nights of a little crying probably would not scar him emotionally. Frequent checks allows you to know he is ok. Now he goes right to sleep with no struggle and hardly a wimper. Having friends who still can't get their three year old to sleep we decided it was better to deal with this earlier than later.
Does solve your baby's sleeping problems!

this book is a miracle!. After nothing had helped we tried this book because we were given it. Within three days our 2 year old son slept the whole night, without waking up! We could not believe it. It takes some energy to follow the book's strategy after all letting your baby cry is not fun at all. The idea is that you let him cry but go and look every 20 minutes, in order to let your baby know that you are still there and to make sure he's allright. Like this your baby learns to sleep BY HIMSELF. That is essential. Try it if you have problems. Jos Schuring, Haarlem Holland.
