Recommend your sleep training book

Now that CJ is getting a little older, I'd like to start thinking about sleep training methods. His sleeping/napping routines are all over the place and I'd love to get a better schedule in place if possible. Can anyone recommend a good book/website?

Thanks and TGIF :)

    We read [On Becoming] Baby Wise, by Ezzo and Bucknam, and Solving Your Child's Sleep Problems, by Ferber.  Actually, I didn't even finish Baby Wise (it just didn't sit well with me).  We still [almost fully] follow Ferber's methods.  

    ETA: The [former] English teacher in me is REALLY bothered by the fact that the formatting options aren't working and I can't underline the book titles.  Smile  Stupid Bump...

    We are Ferber people too, but he still might be a little young.  I thought Baby Wise was awful. 

    As far as a schedule, someone here recommended to me using the 2-3-4 method and it worked wonders for us. 2  hours after waking up for the day, first nap. 3 hours after waking from first nap, second nap. 4 hours after waking from second nap, bedtime! We stuck to that from about 4 months until 16 months or so.

    "The 90 Minute Sleep Program" was a miracle for us! Drew was a natural at STTN but it was SO hard to get him to nap during the day- this book was amazing. Ferber didn't work for us, but we may not have understood it because we were so stressed when we were reading it.

    Happiest Baby on the Block was also wonderful- we started it from day one. (We used the audio CD as well)

    We did Ferber at 6 months.  Worked great and we have had a terrific sleeper ever since (age 3 now).

    We have done Babywise.  It's not for everyone but it worked great for us and I will definintely implement it with our future babies. :-)  There are aspects of it we still follow to this day and DD will be 2 in Feb.  Good luck!

    I would never recommend babywise.. here's a really good article why it can be dangerous https://drmomma.blogspot.com/2009/12/babywise-linked-to-babies-dehydration.html

    To be honest (so far!) Noah has been an awesome sleeper/napper so we haven't needed anything. But if we ever do, I love "No cry sleep solution"

    I'm pretty AP though so anything else wouldn't sit well with me. GL

    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
