Book Reviews of Solve Your Child's Sleep Problems: New, Revised, and Expanded Edition

Book Review: Finally Something That Works!
Summary: 5 Stars

Thank God for this man. After 15 months of no continuous sleep, my husband and I were beginning to get at the end of our rope. We tried the healthy habit, that entailed her crying for hours on end and not getting any rest for us. We tried the No Cry Sleep Method a la Pantley method and did not have any success. She just ended up sleeping with us and that wasn't comfortable. Leaving the door open and the gradual cry it out method were you go back in increasing intervals(5, 10, 15 minutes) to check on the child worked wonderfully. After the first 5 nights, she went to sleep without crying and slept all night. That was soo easy. Especially at the age where she was going through separation anxiety and needed that extra reassurance. This is a wonderful quote from Dr. Ferber's book.
"Such a drastic approach-putting your child in the crib at bedtime, shutting the door, letting him cry, and not returning until morning- would probably work eventually if you never gave in, but it is far from ideal. It would be unnecessarily painful for you and difficult for your child, and you would surely be tempted to quit. Such an abrupt change would be very confusing to your child. He has learned to expect your prompt appearance when he cries. What is he to think if you don't come int? Where are you? Will you ever come back?"

Basically, stick to a routine, be consistent, no sleepy time music, quietness, no noise makers, leave the door open, and make sure the room is comfortable. Yes, sleep glorious sleep.

Summary of Solve Your Child's Sleep Problems: New, Revised, and Expanded Edition

Does your child

  • Have difficulty falling asleep?
  • Wake in the middle of the night?
  • Suffer sleep terrors, sleepwalking, or nighttime fears?
  • Have difficulty waking for school or staying awake in class?
  • Snore, wet the bed, or head bang?

In the first major revision of his bestselling, groundbreaking classic since it was published twenty years ago, Dr. Richard Ferber, the nation's foremost authority on children's sleep problems, delivers safe, sound ideas for helping your child fall and stay asleep at night and perform well during the day.

Incorporating new research, Dr. Ferber provides important basic information that all parents should know regarding the nature of sleep and the development of normal sleep and body rhythms throughout childhood. He discusses the causes of most sleep problems from birth to adolescence and recommends an array of proven solutions for each so that parents can choose the strategy that works best for them. Topics covered in detail include:

  • Bedtime difficulties and nighttime wakings
  • Effective strategies for naps
  • Sleep schedule abnormalities
  • A balanced look at co-sleeping
  • New insights into the nature of sleep terrors and sleepwalking
  • Problems in setting limits
  • Sleep apnea, narcolepsy, bed-wetting, and head banging

Solve Your Child's Sleep Problems offers priceless advice and concrete help for a whole new generation of anxious, frustrated, and overtired parents.

Detailed case histories on night waking, difficulty sleeping, and more serious disorders such as sleep apnea and sleepwalking help illustrate a wide variety of problems and their solutions.
