Only for parents who have tired Ferber sleep training? How did it for your child?
How old are they?
How long have you been?
Would you recommend?
It worked great with my son! He cried two nights and third night, he looked up, smiled, sighed and turned around and closed his eyes! It worked good for my daughter too, she was a little tougher.
age: she used on my son and my daughter at about 6 1 / 2 months
How long did it take? 3 nights with my son on a week with my daughter, she was a little harder and you should start at, especially if they go down or go on holiday schedule, but it's not as hard then.
Would I recommend? Yes, I would. my babies fought sleep because they were so tired most of the day, after doing this, they sleep 12 hours at night and take long naps during the day
I had to actually look at what the training of sleep has been Ferber. But yes, I do not practice it to some extent.
"My son was a pretty good sleeper, so it took just fine
-I started to do after he becomes a yeqars
-Don 't take me very long
Yes, I would recommend, but only for babies over 14 months. its better to let it cry baby, then keep responding to the call and get worse and then press the baby.
I did with my daughter. Started on Monday, she had six months, and by Friday evening, we laid her to sleep, and she didn't take a look. I recommed that if you can handle the baby crying. (I know some parents do not hear their baby cry and rushed to pick them up)
Dr. Ferber himself has recanted his belief in his own method. I considered it, but I felt I put my son in his bed and let them cry it would not allow him to feel safe in a place where not only must it feel safe, but happy. I put my son in his crib with a couple of his favorite toys for some time "quiet play" closed the door and finally he fell asleep. Have you read the Baby Whisperer by Tracy Hogg, she has excellent, sweet, caring (for baby) coating methods for both babies and toddlers.
Ferber I tried with my eldest and it was horrible. The first night was 20 minutes, the second one hour., 3, 1 1 / 2 hours. It simply does not understand (and I do not understand how to be flexible but firm) In fact, I can not think without thinking Ferber Mad "about you" episode where they try to sleep now and then realize Mable they try to "break her".
When my second baby was born, I read healthy sleep habits, happy children and a great sleeper.

This book does not recommend that you let the baby cry, but it's a different approach and deserves.
When my third was born, I was given, "Happiest Baby on the Block." http://www.thehappiestbaby.com/excerpts_ ...
It depends on how old your child. If they are a baby book happiest baby is excellent because it teaches you to calm and reassure your child and help them learn to sleep.
If you baby is older, the book's sleep habits is especially useful. My favorite details are:
* Do not let a child be awake for more than two hours before being aged 6 months (while working for a happy baby!). * Begin to put back to sleep after being awake for an hour.
* Children who are too tired can not sleep because the adrenaline makes their bodies to keep them until they wake up irritable and even when they do tosleep.
* Learn the sleep from their indices.
Both have lots of stories to help you see how to apply the information - and not just a theory book that you do not.
