A New How to Get Baby to Sleep Study.

This is an article leading describing another study in the long running battle about how to get baby to sleep through the night. Recent studies expressed concern at the "cry it out" technique that has been suggested for at least the last 30 years. This Australian study is not exactly about crying it out but about gradually withdrawing the support with two techniques, Controlled comforting  and Camping (further) Out. In both techniques parents slowly withdraw from the babies room until baby sleeps without needing then there. Further information is available at the first site below which is the video of the news story on MSNBC and the second which is a article in a parenting blog on the same subject. The picture goes with the second link. The third link is the original study as published in the journal "Pediatrics" online September 10 and in Print in the October issue.
