Thank you, Dr. Ferber! by J.L. (Washington D.C.)  5 Stars
November 25, 2009
Dr. Ferber, you have made a believer out of me!
When I had initially heard about the Ferber method, I was skeptical. Maybe it would work for other babies, but not ours, a spirited baby boy who could scream at the top of his lungs for over an hour. We had tried to "cry him out", a battle of the wills, and he won. Our pride and joy, who had started sleeping through the night at four months started regressing after he started teething at five months. We gave in to the little guy because, after all, he was in pain. But long after his two first pearly whites came in, he was used to being rocked to sleep and nursed in the middle of the night. Fast forward to seven months and our angel by day was getting up every hour at night, insisting to be nursed and rocked till he was fast asleep.
We started the Ferber method four nights ago and our boy has slept 7+ hours straight for the past three nights. Granted, it was difficult in the beginning to hear him cry, but it was for the best and now we are reaping the fruits of our labor. He doesn't even put up much of a fight anymore when we put him down for the night. Last night he fussed for one minute before falling asleep!
What I appreciate about this book is that it will describe a sleep problem and then tell you how to solve it right away in the next couple of pages. You don't have to "stay tuned till the end" like other books. It covers a variety of sleep problems for a variety of ages.
If you are suffering like we did, take my advice and read the book. You will become a believer too.
Sincerely,
A mom who now sleeps through the night

Very effective by Delbar 5 Stars
October 29, 2009
I got this book to solve my 18-month-old's sleep problems. It took only 4 nights of crying and they were not unbearable either. The best part is that his quality of sleep has improved: before, he would wake up several times a night crying and now he does not wake up at all, and he is more fresh in the morning and not tired during the day.

Night #3 - HE SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT!!!! by G. Kwan 5 Stars
September 21, 2009
I was skeptical but desperate. After 5 months of getting up 4-7 times a night to feed or rock my baby back to sleep I finally had to get some help to save my sanity. I was sure that I had the worse sleeper who since birth had slept no longer than 4 hours at a stretch and at that only a handful of times, who at times would take up to 2 hours to put back down at night even after a feeding. During the day I was so desperate for him to sleep that I would allow him to sleep on my nursing pillow. We went to a pediatrician desperate for some ideas to help my baby sleep better and nap better. The doctor recommended this book and I went out and bought that day.
Night #1 - (3-5-10min intervals with 1-2 mins to check on baby without picking him up) 820pm put down in crib awake but groggy, 9pm asleep. 5 hours later (a record!!!!)... 2am wake up - feed put down in bed still awake. 3 min cry, 2 min to check, 2mins later he's asleep. 4am wake up - 3min, 5min, 10min, 10min with 2 min checks. 45 mins to fall asleep. Up at 7:02 am and happy.
Night #2 (5-10-12) - 7pm asleep with in 15 mins, midnight feed and back to sleep within 3 mins. 4am wake up an hour and a half later finally asleep. (This was difficult). 8am had to be woken up. According to book you should not let them sleep past their regular wake up time which for my baby was 7am but I was just too tired so I let him sleep the extra hour.
Night #3 (10-12-15) - 645pm asleep with less than a minute of fussing, 1030pm feeding, up at 630am with no fussing or crying through out the night. HE SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT!!!!!
Nap time has also been easy following the method in the book. The first day he cried almost 30mins before going down for his nap but after 3 days he practically lets me know when he's ready to nap and goes down with no fussing at all.
I feel like a whole different person and can now enjoy my baby. This method is not for everyone and initially I did not think I could do it either but it works and my baby is a happier and more rested baby.
As a first time mom I got into the habit of nursing or rocking my baby to sleep and once asleep I would then put him into his crib. This of course caused him to wake up startled to find himself in a different environment then when he fell asleep and thus he could not return back to sleep unless he was nursed or rocked which created a cycle that was hard to break. Ferber explains that if baby is put into his crib awake he will wake up in the same environment that he fell asleep in and thus will not be shocked and can then soothe himself back to sleep. It really works. My baby now knows that his crib is for sleeping and he sleeps very well. Even his naps are longer, he went from 40 min. naps to 60-90 min. naps. I highly recommend this book to every parent who has a problem sleeper and who is desperate to finally get some sleep.

Worked for us - Thank Goodness! by lydiadeetz 5 Stars
September 15, 2009
I had read the Weissbluth book, and the Pantley "No Cry Sleep Solution" but our 9 month old was still not sleeping through the night. Ferber did it for us, so this book gets 5 stars from me. I know that this one method may not work for everyone, but the book is worth reading if your child has sleeping issues, even if you decide not to CIO. Ferber talks about the need for good sleep, and sleep habits.
Like others, I was definitely concerned that CIO would change my otherwise happy baby's personality, and it was a last resort for us. But, we are so glad that we tried it. Our son is 15 months old now, and it helped preserve our family harmony. We have slipped back into old habits a few times, and had to re-Ferberize two or three times. But, the re-Ferberizing isn't as tough as the first time.
Definitely worth reading for any parent having difficulty in this arena. Like I said, you don't have to follow it, but at least it will give you some insight in what could be going on. It's a pretty easy read, even if you're feeling sleep-deprived!
Best wishes to all you parents out there!
