Excerpts from a book called "In Search of Sleep" by Bonnie Reichert, which follows the same lines of thinking as The No Cry Sleep Solution.

A quote from the article:

"Perhaps what's difficult for some parents to accept is not a child's independence at night, but the age and stage at which this is supposed to arrive. Maybe sleeping through the night is similar to eating solid food and toilet training - sure, you can make it happen early, but it's likely to be less of a struggle if you wait a little while. After all, does it make sense to talk about "a rewarding goal" and "a positive self-image" in relation to an infant? What cues does a young baby give to tell us he's ready and eager to sleep independently? Not the same kind of cues that he gives when he leans open-mouthed towards a spoonful of rice cereal, that's for sure."
