Decades later, sleep doctor clarifies his theory

Decades later, sleep doctor clarifies his theory - Nightly News with Brian Williams - MSNBC.com: "But “Ferberizing” has lots of critics who maintain that leaving a child to cry can cause insecurity and other emotional problems. So it will come as a surprise to a lot of parents that Dr. Ferber himself has decided to clarify his theory.
“Different problems call for different solutions,” he says. “And the same problem can be solved in different ways.”
Ferber will explain in a revised edition of his book that if you rock your baby to sleep, you don't have to stop cold turkey, that it isn't even appropriate to do so if your child has night terrors.
In other words, Ferber will echo the many pediatricians who tell parents there is no magic solution to getting a child to sleep.
“You have to feel that what you're doing works best for you,” says Dr. Herb Lazarus."

Oh, gee, thanks. I always thought he was a mean bastard. I've cursed his name many times as we tried to get our dear daughter to sleep before finally giving up on the freakin' Ferber method. And now he says we're on our own? Thanks.
