On Becoming Baby Wise by Gary Ezzo,Robert Bucknam
This book was purchased for my daughter who had used it for her first child with wonderful results and we had recommended it to many of her young friends, in fact she had given her only copy to a friend who also loved the results. So when she had her baby daughter in July, I ordered a replacement copy for her.The paperback is very inexpensive and the information is so helpful and REALLY works. As a mother and grandmother I had my douts when my daughter asked me to read this book and tell what I thought about the content and suggestions in the book. I told her "It's worth a try, what do you have to loose!" She had great success and her son was sleeping through the night before 6 weeks and continued to sleep as has her baby daughter. I would recommend this book to any new parents ecpecially first time parents. The information is so vauluable even if you adapt it and use only some of the information.Read full review

On Becoming Baby Wise
I purchased this book because it was recommended to me by my sister-in-law. The book contains some wonderful insight about how to get your child on a schedule, but it's slightly controversial in that it's a little regimented for a newborn infant. It's unrealistic that a child can be sleeping through the night at two weeks. I hope new parents don't feel like failures because their child is still needing comfort/nourishment at 9 weeks of age! However, one strength of this book is the contention that the baby should complete his/her feeding (get a full tummy) each time. The child should be stimulated to continue feeding until he or she is full, and not just sleep off a snack for an hour. Just as importantly, parents should nurture their relationship for the benefit of the infant. One mistake I made as a new mother was placing the child's needs over my husband's needs, and that was a big mistake. Overall, this book is good, but use what you feel is good information and chuck the rest. (As a side note, my childbirth educator did NOT like this book, but I chose to continue reading it and taking what I considered to be of value).Read full review

This book WORKS!
The system Ezzo describes is much like the Baby Whisperer system of Eat AWake Sleep, and it WORKS. I don't know what the old edition of the book was like, but the edition I read promotes a balanced schedule. In other words, yes, get your baby on a 2-3 or 3-4 hour schedule, BUT assess your baby's needs. If he's crying before 2 hours, assess the situation and use your best judgement to determine if he's hungry, or just has a tummy ache, or whatever. With my first child, I used the attachment parenting method, not knowing any better. My daughter didn't fall asleep on her own or sleep through the night until she was a year old, and I was a WRECK. MY sister-in-law lent me this book, and now my second child, who is 11 weeks old, is sleeping 8-9 hours a night, and falls asleep for his naps on his own. I have not had to do any Cry-It-Outs because just following the schedule at an EARLY AGE has regulated him to the point where I lay him down and he falls right asleep, waking up happy and cooing. Read this book, use what works for you, and you will be so glad you did!Read full review

Oh Sweet, Sweet Sleep!
We were given this book when we were expecting our first (who is now 8 years old). It was the closest thing to a baby manual that everyone wishes for. It's truly a great book, filled with excellent advice! I now buy it for any new parents or baby showers. As a new mom (or dad), it covers so many things that you don't know about yet and that make up the baby's life - sleeping, eating, playing... I feel like it saved our sanity and let us truly enjoy those early months with our babies instead of crying through them with the babies. It's easy to read and I suggest reading it before the baby's here if possible to understand it and have a plan ahead of time instead of just trying to wing it. We now have four - ages 8, 6, 4, and 11 months, and they're all excellent sleepers. They've all slept through the night somewhere between 3 and 5 weeks, and I do credit the book with that. I HIGHLY recommend this book!! =)Read full review

MUST READ FOR NEW MOMS!
Someone gave me this book right after I had my first child. While I did not adopt 100% of the author's philosophies, the main message he communicates saved me!! He emphasizes getting your baby into a routine and that routine cycles in a particular order... and it makes life MUCH MUCH easier! I had worked in daycare prior to having my child... and babysat.... but nothing prepares you for those first days and nights and trying to help that little one sleep and eat and in a manner that they are happy and that YOU don't lose your mind! I had been feeding my baby every hour for parts of the day and night and letting it go to sleep afterwards.... NOT the way to go!! After a week of this I was a mess. Baby Wise helped me tremendously... I purchased this book for a friend who is expecting! I couldn't help but pass along the book that made me sane again!Read full review
