How does the Ferber method actually differ from a method where the parent never returns until morning?
The parent picks the baby up out of the crib and holds them until they're completely calm at every single check in before setting them back down.
It's the same thing as leaving the baby alone all night.
Ferber has the parent return at set times to give a quick word of reassurance, but never picks the baby up.
