 Excellent SolutionAug 30, 2010
What a relief to finally find a sleep solution that does not involve "controlled crying"
Elizabeth Pantley has set out her solutions in an easy to read manner.
And its lovely and reassuring that she has tested the methods on her own child as well of lots of other mums children!
I have already recommended the book to other mums who prefer a non controlled crying method for their babies!

 did not work, made my baby dependant on me to get him to sleepAug 15, 2010
At first i loved the book because it sounded like the answer to my prayers. My baby would start sleeping and he wouldn't ever have to cry! I gave it a good try for about 2 months or more and my baby ended up being dependent on me to get him to sleep and needed me to put him back to sleep every time he woke up in his sleep cycle. He and i, even more, never got enough sleep. i followed all the tips and its just didnt work. i tried the ferber method and he slept 12 hours within 4 days.
Started helping the first night...Aug 13, 2010
Our little girl was an "okay" sleeper for a while--she would fall asleep around 10pm in our arms, and we would sneak her into the crib. Around 2 a.m., she started waking every hour or so until "morning" at 6 a.m. She always needed to be picked up and cuddled back to sleep, and I would sneak her back into her crib again, only to hear her wailing an hour later. In the past month, tho, things got even worse and she started waking around every hour (sometimes even every 45 minutes!), and I was getting up to sooth her and rock her 10 times a night. I couldn't even go to sleep between her *wakings* because I was so on edge, anticipating her next *episode*.
Following the techniques in the book (especially the ones about an earlier bedtime, *cue* words, a *lovey* to sleep with, and a specific bedtime routine), we saw major improvements pretty much immediately. By following the concept of a *gradual withdrawal* of support, after one month our daughter sleeps better than she ever did, and at 11 months now reduced her nighttime wakings from 7-10 times a night to 1-2. What's even better, tho, is that when she wakes now, I can hear her softly fussing in her room (NOT crying), and she's able to find her pacifier, find her teddy, and fall back to sleep without me coming in to settle her. She now goes to bed at 7:30 pm, and I can put her in her crib awake, without her pitching a fit. She knows that the crib is for *sleepy-time*, and she really was very easy to sleep train.
I'm a much better mom when I am not completely sleep-deprived, and I'm absolutely thrilled that I didn't have to follow everyone's advice to let her *cry* it out. You CAN *sleep train* your infant without Ferber! And it's not even that hard! Certainly easier for me than listening to my daughter scream herself into absolutely hysterical conniptions.
I highly recommend this book!

 Don't waste your time!Aug 11, 2010
If you are looking for real help, this book won't do it! This lady is a joke! I can tell you why her baby had trouble sleeping through the night, it was her fault, at 14 months he was still sleeping in her bed connected to her breast! HELLO! That doesn't sound like anyone is getting any sleep. And maybe it's just me and I don't think a baby belongs in MY bed connected to me all night long. How on earth is one supposed to sleep that way? If you want real help read How to Solve Your Child's Sleep Problems, it is written by the director of a pediatric sleep clinic, not some mom with no qualifications on early childhood development other than being a mother.

AmazingAug 11, 2010
I literally cried tears of relief as I read this book. It makes so much sense, and the author knows EXACTLY what we're all going through.
