You've tried everything. Warm milk. Bedtime stories. Sharing your bed. But your child still has problems falling asleep. Dr. Richard Ferber can help. Director of the Sleep Laboratory and Center for Pediatric Sleep Disorders at Children's Hospital in Boston, Dr. Ferber is widely recognized as the nation's leading authority on children's sleep problems.
Practical and easy to understand, Solve Your Childs' Sleep Problems tells you how to handle these situations in children aged one to six:
* Refusing to go to bed
* Colic and other medical problems
* Restlessness and insomnia
* Night terrors
* Bedwetting
* Headbanging and body rocking
And other problems that keep you and your child awake in the night.
Based on six years of intensive research in a top medical facility, Solve Your Child's Sleep Problems is packed with tips, suggestions, sample problems and solutions, and a bibliography of children's "go-to-sleep" books.

This book is really harsh, definitely not something I would recommend. Ferber himself has recanted a lot of the techniques in this book. Cry it out is not the answer, it only teaches your child you are not going to be there when they need you. There are many other options. I would recommend Dr. Elizabeth Pantley or Dr. Jay Gordon's books to try first, they are amazing. PLEASE, for your child, think twice about using this book.

This is a dreadful book!! Even the author has since recanted these draconian methods. Please do not do this to your baby!

I used this book with my first and it worked exactly as promised. However I have continued to use its principles with my next three as well to create a family of great sleepers & no family can ever be truly rested and as a result happy without a good nights sleep for everyone.

Help for parents at the end of their rope! Lots of information to help you help your child. Help your child learn to fall asleep, stay asleep and sleep thru the night.
A helpful guide for parents. Some ideas worth using!

Honestly this book didn't tell me anything I didn't already know... I read this w/my second child and after my first terrible sleeper I pretty much had it covered. This book also talks about sleeping in terms of a function of other behavioral "problems" like bedwetting, colic, etc.
