Anyone read/try Dr. Sears' "The Sleep Book?"

Just wondering if anyone had read and/or tried this approach to improving DC's sleep.  TIA!

Edit: And I meant to ask what you thought of it.

    I did read it, and I need to read it again.

    The basic premise is to build positive sleep associations as a baby/young child so that the child has an easier time entering and leaving the state of sleep.

    He advocates safe co-sleeping/bed sharing and nursing on demand at night as an infant. I can't remember what happens next in the process, which is why I need to re-read the book.

    So far, I don't have any complaints. I love sleeping with DD and my DH has made the comment that now that we've been doing it, it seems "unnatural" to have a baby in a crib all by themselves at night. So since we're both on the same page, it works for us. My DD hasn't had any complaints, either!

    we loosely subscribe to the dr. sears method - the co-sleeping and nursing down. You might also want to check out Dr. Jay Gordan, too, he's a big attachment parenting doctor, too, and has some good advice about sleeping....
