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.

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.

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.
