sleepeasy solution

Anyone care to give me the one-sentence summary of this plan?

raceyrae

Allowing baby to fall asleep on their own; if DC starts crying, going in to check on him/her to let DC know you're still there but not picking up/rocking etc.  Checks on are intervals -- 5 min, 10 min, 15 min, 15 min etc. (no more than 15 min apart) until baby falls asleep.

Hey, thanx!!!

Boy, that sounds alot like Ferber's method, no? Do you happen to know the difference(s) between them?

We used Sleepeasy (it worked incredibly well for us), but I haven't read Ferber. Sleepeasy is about creating the right atmosphere and routine for sleep, as well as teaching them to self-soothe. Another component was dropping night feedings using dreamfeeds.
