[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Doesn't hurt to stock up your cupboard with various "tricks" to get a sense for what works for you and your child. But honestly, different folks, different kids, different strokes.  If the peg doesn't fit, try something else.  Sometimes your kid just needs to grow into it.

But warning: Many children don't and won't sleep through the night for long.  I had an 8 week old who slept for 11 hours... and then didn't.  And then did.  And then didn't.

Parenting young kids is brutal on the ol' shut eye.  It just is.[/quote]

I agree with this.  That said, I thought her book was pure rubbish.  If a kid isn't ready to sleep that long by 12 weeks, the kid cannot be made to do so.  I say this the parent of a kid that DID do it.  But, it developed on her own.  We didn't force it.  That book, which I read, seemed like forcing it to me.  I can also say that i have friends/family with difficult sleepers.  They've tried everything.  And, until they are older, that sort of rigid approach doesn't work with babies who are not ready.  12 weeks is still so little!!!

I understand people disagree.  That's fine.  This is my opinion.[/quote]
