Most sleep books are anecdotal and not research based. Dr. Weissbluth explains why children need sleep, and what norms are appropriate, and why it shouldn't be negotiable - similar to proper food habits and the use of carseats. Contrary to some posts, he doesn't say you have to let them cry it out, he explains different methods of sleep training and why extinction crying is the easiest. I believe he also notes that about 10% of children are outside of the norms of sleep and may not follow his schedule.
We have referred to this time and again when it was time to "retrain" our girls after interrupted sleep patterns. The trick with this or any other book, is it use it with common sense and adjust your approach as it fits your child.
