2.  I forget all the ferber rules, but I dont think standing by the bed for two hours is part of it.  Unless you just mean you gave up, which I could totally get if your poor kid vomited.

We did a variation of ferber.  Basically, if my son cried - like a whiny cry, we let it go.  But if he screamed freaking bloody murder - as in I could tell he was stressed - I went in, let him know I was there, calmed him down and tried again.  My husband said I was nuts to "hear" a differnece in the cries, but at the time I was sure I could tell a difference.

Basically, you have to find out what works for your child.  Have you tried the rocking until almost asleep? I think we did this for naps.  It was like stage 1:  baby sound asleep.  Stage 2 Baby just fell asleep.  Stage 3:  baby so drowsy they can't fight sleep, and then gradully move to less drowsy, less asleep.

I promise you, you have not ruined your baby by "waiting too long."  But it may take longer.

Good luck to you![/quote]
