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

Book Review: Maybe I'll Try Again Later
Summary: 2 Stars

We tried this method for a few nights and a few naps when our daughter turned three months old, but it just didn't work for us. Perhaps we didn't give it enough time, but we just couldn't take it. The first night we started at 8:45, and she cried until 3:30 in the morning--she threw up twice during the process and snubbed for hours after we gave up. The next night after four hours, I gave up again, knowing that she was stubborn and would go until 3:30 again if we'd allow it. At four months old we started the No Cry Sleep Solution with better results. After only a week she began sleeping for six hours before waking for a short nursing period, and she is napping in bed for up to two hours each time. She is being put down while asleep now, so maybe we'll try the Ferber method when we start putting her down awake. My friends rave about Ferber, I just didn't have the stomach to make her cry for hours on end.

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.


When your child isn't sleeping, chances are that you aren't either. Solve Your Child's Sleep Problems--a tired parent's essential for more than 10 years--offers valuable advice and concrete help when lullabies aren't enough to lull your child into dreamland. Based on Ferber's research as the director of Boston's Center for Pediatric Sleep Disorders at Children's Hospital, the book is a practical, easy-to-understand guide to common sleeping problems for children ages one to six. 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. New parents will benefit from Ferber's proactive advice on developing good sleeping patterns and daily schedules to ensure that sleeping problems don't develop in the first place. You'll also find a bibliography of children's books on bedtime, sleep, and dreaming, as well as a list of helpful organizations. Here's a book that is sure to put you and your whole family to sleep--in this case, that's a good thing.
