<< Great question!  I look forward to the answers.  I have no suggestions,
 other than personal experience as a parent who found that parenting book
 advice on letting a child cry was not helpful in the case of one of our
 three children who did not appear to respond to the very controlled crying
 regimen that we tried (and failed) to implement.  I have always wanted to go
 to that literature.  Good luck and please keep me posted.

I believe you're thinking about Ferber, whose method is very controversial, in
my opinion.  If you're going to read Ferber's literature, I would suggest that
you also read that of Dr's. Penelope Leach, William Sears, and T. Berry
Brazelton.
