Product Description
This book will help moms and dads add a new di-mension to their babies' day; the establishment of right learning patterns. Learning patterns ultimately affect the way a child manages instructions, direc-tions, correction, and growing relationships.
Amazon.com Review
Demand the behavior and correct thinking will eventually follow. Gary Ezzo, a graduate of Talbot Seminary and School of Theology, teams up with pediatrician Dr. Robert Bucknam to explore the role of moral development in a child in this compact sequel to their controversial primer on newborn behavior, On Becoming Baby Wise. Four glowing, compelling commentaries highlight the very first pages of the book, which attempts to guide parents through a critical time in their child's growth and learning (ages 5 through 15 months). The authors make many rational arguments about a parent's duty to expect and encourage consistent, acceptable behaviors when the child is very young; over time, such training will lead to the development of moral concepts. While the outcome is desirable and the method--when used consistently--does work, this particular book lacks the many supportive examples and research references found in the first Baby Wise. The authors encourage readers to familiarize themselves with the original, and openly state that their methods are more effective for graduates of Baby Wise parenting--not demand-fed babies. So, this particular child-rearing book is not meant for all. Chapters feature topics including moral foundations, mealtime and wake-time activities, highchair manners, discipline, and teaching basic sign language. Most of the information is more philosophical than practical. Don't expect to learn "how," so much as "why." --Liane Thomas

 A good continuation of the first book July 8, 2008
This is part two of the baby wise books. I found it to be very helpful because it fills in the gaps that the first baby wise book left open at times. So I would recommend you read it even if your baby isn't quite a pre-toddler or toddler yet!
 This book helped me. May 28, 2008
After having the foundation of On Becoming Babywise, this book, On Becoming Babywise II was very helpful. It was very quick to read, and I found that I gleaned some new ideas on helping my daughter have a more varied playtime.
Our daughter continues to thrive on her consistent routine, that is flexible when needed, of eat, play, sleep, repeat. She plays very well by herself and with others, is learning table manners well, and continues to sleep very well.
I recommend this book to anyone who has read the first one. The foundation of reading the first one is needed.
TOTALLY recommend! September 13, 2007
My favorite chapter it on High Chair manners! This is a MUST read of any new mother is starting her child out on solid foods! Their motto is "Train, don't retrain". When we have our daughter out at to eat, people cannot believe how well mannered she is while she eats! As a mom, I love it b/c I don't have a huge mess to clean up after feeding time! Great book!
Excellent supplement to the original Baby Wise book. January 31, 2007

We have read and followed both Becoming Baby Wise books. They have been excellent resources and have produced excellent results in our baby. She's been sleeping 12 hours at night since she was 4 months old. She started sleeping through the night at 8 weeks. Everything Baby Wise said would happen with her eating and sleeping schedule, fell right into place as we progressed. It's been great. I highly recommend it.

Lets see, over the past 20-30 years this country has been raising some of the most spoiled, wretched and "it's all about me" generation EVER. BW 1 & 2 make it clear that the baby is part of the family...not the sole purpose of the family. I don't understand why schedules and rules are VOODO for babies. Our baby sleeped 12 hours each night by age 3 months. He never cried when it was bed time. He took scheduled naps and never fussed prior to feedings.
I laugh at parents that say "How lucky we are" that our baby acts the way he does. Luck had nothing to do with it. We stuck to a schedule day and night. I couldn't imagine doing it any other way.
Baby Wise is a great thing!
