  With something as serious as sleep training, I strongly suggest you find the time.

  Webster's Abridged:

  It's progessive waiting.  You put LO down as normal and then wait before you go in to soothe (not pick up).  You wait a little longer each time.  Gradually LO gets the picture and starts to self soothe instead of you doing it for them.  

  But I agree with previous poster....for something this serious you need to find the time to read up on it yourself.  That way you know the in's and out's before you start.

  If you are looking to decide whether its worth the read check out the Amazon reviews - there are a ton...both positive and negative.

  

  Bar tab = $156,000, Bus to Foxwoods = $0, Puking in the Stanley Cup = Priceless

  I have to concur that you should really read the book.  It's not a dense read, and you can skip sections that don't apply.  I thought I knew what progressive waiting was (sounds simple enough), but felt MUCH more confident in using it after I actually read Ferber's book.

  Thanks!  I was looking for general information first.  If I decided to look into it more, I would read the book for sure.  I have read Babywise and the Baby Whisperer books front-to-back and am just thinking about a different perspective at this time.  Thanks again!
