[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The truth is that Ferber doesn't work for all kids. You think your cortisol leves are high? What do you think your aby feels? Stop torturing your kid and yourself. [/quote]

I say this as a mom who tried the Ferber (and various other "methods") with my first baby. It just never worked. The only thing that really helped was time. She cried it out for months, months, and all the way up until the point of toddlerhood really. We finally gave up, tried other ways of helping her go to sleep with our help and eventually she got it. About two years later and many, many, stressful nights of letting her cry to no avail.

Second baby, no "methods". We co-slept exclusively for about six months. Not because I wanted to in theory or because I'm a crazy earth mama, but just because it was easier and I was tired. It allowed us all to sleep, so that's what we did.

Eventually we transitioned baby #2 to the crib, but still having to help him to sleep by rocking every night for about a half hour (or more). No crying it out because of our horrible experience with #1.

I'm not say this is what every family should do, but I just thought I'd share my experience in case it might help someone out there who is going through a similar situation.[/quote]
