SG, can you speak to the specifics of the ferber method? i don't recall it, since we are talking almost 12 years ago now. and i was pretty much hard core, cold turkey with the other two. not going in and patting them etc. i nursed them to sleep and then they were on their own til the AM, like i said, unless they had a cold, fever, other type of illness going on.

This site sums up the method. I have a few other references if you're interested. Back to your earlier comment, there was probably no way the baby's grandma could do this job. One, the baby's not in their own home and forging his/her own routine with familiar surroundings and two, grandmas generally do not like to be disciplinarians. They already had that job and would much prefer to be the spoilers now.
