I really didn't want to let my daughter cry, and turned to this book for help in eliminating the *one* middle of the night waking that she still experienced. After reading the book and trying Pantley's approach, my daughter is now waking EVERY TWO HOURS@!! And, some nights, refusing to go back to sleep in her crib or my bed. She will only sleep in my arms on those occasions. In desperation, I have had to let her cry, something I swore I would never do. I blame this book. I didn't know how good I had it. I also think it is highly irresponsible and somewhat cruel to go into such graphic, heart wrenching detail about what a baby *might* feel upon waking in the night. Where are the facts backing up her statements?I wish I had never bought this book, and I recommend that anyone considering this so-called solution get the book out of their local library rather than throwing money away on a purchase. If it works for you, great, but it is by no means fail-safe.
