Can anyone please tell me what's this Ferber method of sleep training? Is it effective?

The Ferber method is perhaps the most well-known sleep training program for children. parents leave their children alone for strictly-timed intervals, ignoring their children’s protests and cries. When the method works, kids gradually accept that no one will come to their aid, and, as a result, their behavior becomes less disruptive. 1. The Ferber method is NOT appropriate for young babies. 2. The Ferber method is NOT appropriate for kids who have a conditioned fear of being left alone in their beds. 3. The Ferber method is NOT appropriate as a treatment for most child sleep problems. The link below will be able to give you a better understanding of what the ferber method is about. http://www.mybabysleepguide.com/2009/01/sleep-training-ferber.html?m=1 Hope this helps.
