Product Description:
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.

Amazon.com Review:
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.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Had some doubts, but it worked for our fussy baby!
I tried this book and Ferber's method on our 4 month old and it didn't work...the FIRST TIME. When she was 5 months old we tried it again and prepared ourselves, with low expectations, and were pleasantly surprised it worked right off the bat! I think you have to know when YOUR baby is ready to sleep on his/her own. Ours obviously wasn't ready when she was 4 mos, but matured enough a month later. She was premature and colic-y for 4 mos, and we always had to rock her for hours to get her to sleep ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - You have to try this exactly how he writes it
I bought this book b/c we have 4 children at home ranging from teenager to infant. I wanted to see about our oldest's sleep problem, when our 5 month old started waking up about every 1-2 hours. We weren't sleeping at all. So, we used the Ferber method to get him on schedule. And it worked exactly as he described it. In 2 nights he was back on a schedule and sleeping through the night. It has also helped me understand and help our teenager daughter's problem to fall asleep and stay asleep all night. ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Success in sleep training in 2 nights!
I was very reluctant to try sleep training for our newborn, our first child. I had heard that Ferber was the "cry it out" doc and this is not what I wanted! However, this book was not only informative but quite compassionate and it made a lot of sense. We followed the instructions exactly and within 2 nights, our 5 month old baby was sleeping through the night for the most part! It was both a pleasant surprise (I couldn't believe it worked!) and a relief. Dr. Ferber has included recommendations ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Book!
I was 7 months pregnant when we decided it was time for my 2 year-old to sleep in his room. He used to sleep on the bed with us. He would only fall asleep in his room, if I or my husband sits next to his toddler bed . This became a problem, because he wakes up at 2 or 3 am, and sometimes unable to fall back to sleep right away. So, we go in and out of his room thinking he is asleep only to wake up again, and this left both of us tired, and frustrated. After purchasing the book, and applying Dr. Ferber's ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Amazing - I wish I would've read it sooner!
My dear daughter just turned 8-months, she is our second baby. She was getting up three or four times a night wanting to be nursed back to sleep. My husband and I are going on a cruise and decided that we needed to do something so our poor parents were not getting up with her. So we read this book (that I bought for my 1st child but never needed) and after three nights, she is sleeping 10+ hours! I was skeptical after the first night of trying it and figured it was a fluke that she slept 5 hours without ... Read More
