In the New Yorker November 8, 1999:
About the sections of his book where he discusses cosleeping and the
importance of "learning to separate" by sleeping alone, Ferber says: "I wish
I hadn't written those sentences. That came out of some of the existing
literature. It is a blanket statement that is just not right. There's plenty
of examples of co-sleeping where it works out just fine. My feeling now is
that children can sleep with or without their parents. What's really
important is that the parents work out what they want to do."
Also:
"When I get a letter that says,' We've been using your technique for six
weeks and he cries all night'- I think that's horrible. That's very cruel."
