Not to my satisfaction,
By
This review is from: Sleeping Through The Night: How Infants, Toddlers, and Their Parents Can Get a Good Night's Sleep (Paperback)
This is pretty much the same as the "cry out method". I wished the intro would have mentioned it. It was dissapointing to have read dozens of pages to come to the conclusion of the recommended way to put the baby to sleep is to let her cry, checkking on her every so minutes.There is nothing harsher to a parent than to see the baby cry. The author recommends the parents to take a shower, watch tv, play musical instruments, etc. to get the minds off the baby's cry. This is terrible! Another topic I disagree with the author is the time the baby has to go to bed. The book over emphasizes the idea of putting the baby to sleep around 7:30pm. It is even against the idea of keeping the baby later when parents work late and don't have time to play with the baby. It's a horrible thing to keep a parent away from the baby! Where is the joy of parenthood? See the baby on the weekends only? Why did I even bother having a child then? The baby would recognize the neighbor's dog more than me. I personally don't see anything wrong, and I prefer immensely, to put my 4-month old baby to sleep late and have her wake up late. When it comes time to school, then we can gradually change to an earlier time starting a few months before classes start. I put an order to get "The No-Cry Sleep Solution". It's got the best reviews. I should have checked the online reviews before purchasing the book.

Appalling, abusive and unbelievable method.,

This review is from: Sleeping Through The Night: How Infants, Toddlers, and Their Parents Can Get a Good Night's Sleep (Paperback)
I was horrified to find out that letting your baby cry out till s/he vomits is an acceptable method of parenting in this day and age. How can this be considered a gentle and compassionate way?Even pet-owners are prosecuted for this type of stuff, so how can a supposedly liberal culture accept such an atrocious method! All the people who rave this book must be selfish, and totally cold people that they can think that a it is ok to do this to a child. Here are some basics that are universally accepted, EXCEPT it seems in the America that accepts Ferber/Mindell CRAP: a. Parenting comes with sacrifices; it is not easy, but most of us think that the rewards are worth it. A good choice to not being completely fatigued is to have the baby's crib in your bedroom or have the baby sleep in bed with you. That is a natural and healthy thing to do. Just because we are living in a modern technological world does not mean that our bodies have evolved to match this. We are still (biologically) the same pre-historic creatures that need comfort, warmth, soothing and mothers milk when we are vulnurable little babies. So whats a temporary sacrifice! 2. Babies DO NOT know manipulation. They want soothing and comfort from you because they TRUST you and see you as their main source of security. PLEASE pick up that crying child and wipe its tears. 3. Letting a baby cry till is vomits and falls asleep defeated and exhausted is akin to whipping a baby animal to train it for a circus -- no difference. So those of us who think it is OK to torture animals for a 15 minutes of human jolly will obviously think it is "normal" to let baby cry that long. After all once babies will is broken, it has GIVEN UP on trusting you (with the deep sub-conscious sense of security) as its main source of nurture. I just do not understand how a culture can produce emotionally well adjusted and happy adults when they are tortured as children. Maybe that is why violence is such a wide-spread occurence in this country! Maybe that is why the divorce rate is so high and so many people need to see psychiatrists. The Mindell/Ferber methods are great to keep psychiatrists in business!!!!

Just the old Cry it Out routine - not for me!,

This review is from: Sleeping Through The Night: How Infants, Toddlers, and Their Parents Can Get a Good Night's Sleep (Paperback)
ARGH. I wish I hadn't wasted my money! I thought this book was supposed to have alternatuves to Crying it Out but it basically says babies will NEVER grow out of bad sleep habits on their own - CIO is the ONLY way. She says babies will cry 40 minutes (or so) the first night. So why did my 10 month old son go 2.5 hours of screaming and the begin puking!?!? And she says if they puke it's no big deal. She says babies think it is FUN????? WHATEVER! This book just depressed me and made me realize I may never get a good night sleep again. Don't waste your money on this book unless you were considering CIO. If you were looking for an alternative to CIO to get your baby to sleep through the night, look somewhere else.
