I understand that not everyone have the same views, but I really suggest that you try reading Ferber's book before either trying CIO or bashing it. It's really interesting and much more complex than it looks.
Many child-care professionals feel that parental encouragement
of self-satisfiers and over-substitution of material objects -
teddy bears substituting for parents, strollers for arms, cribs
for shared sleep, pacifiers for nursing, toys for parents'
attention, music boxes for voices, formula for breast-milk,
wind-up swings for laps - have led to an age of materialistic
acquisition, personal loneliness and lack of emotional
fulfillment.
Seriously? LOL You can not take that article seriously.

I'm so desperate to avoid work this morning that I googled it. The answer is yes, and it's correct, along with octopi and octopodes.
I read that article. Some people frighten me.
