I'm reading The Sleep Lady's Good Night, Sleep Tight. According to the Amazon reviews it's like a gentler version of CIO. My LO's too young for it now (12 weeks) but I'm hoping it works when the time comes!

@TurtleDoves: bed timing tells you the best ages to sleep train, wonder weeks tells you when your baby is going through a developmental milestone so you can expect sleep interruption, healthy habits talks about why sleep is so important (esp early bedtimes).

healthy sleep habits teaches you a lot about the fundamentals of baby sleep that are good to know. the 90 minute baby sleep program also worked great for us up to 5 months.

i read all the books and they're all kinda similar and all blend together -- they all involve crying. any method can be modified though. if i remember correctly, i think the sleepeasy solution and the sleep lady might provide more of a roadmap on how to sleep train.

While not a sleep training book per se, I liked Bringing Up Bebe. It talks about encouraging your baby to learn to self-soothe. Your LO is not too young to start doing that.

If you're anti-CIO, you may like the no cry sleep solution. It didn't work for me. It involves lots of note taking. Wasn't going to happen in my desperately sleep-deprived state.

I second healthy sleep habits, happy child. That's the book that worked for us. We did try ferberizing (modified CIO) but our LO just learned to wait out the intervals. Good luck and hang in thre.
