 Recommend Babywise November 17, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Babywise worked great for my daugher, now 10 months. For those who said they dislike the notion of scheduled feeding, I doubt that they read this book. One of the reasons that I thought this book worked so well was its flexibility. It does not advocate demand feeding or scheduled feeding but a combination based on parental observation. This book was exactly what I was looking for. I think some may be put off by the slightly religious undertones at times and the assumption that moms all stay at home with their babies, but the principles in Babywise are spot-on. If you already know you either want to feed on demand or only feed according to a schedule, buy a different book. But if you want a flexible arrangement and a healthy eater and great sleeper, buy Babywise.
A lifesaver! November 2, 2008
The principles in this book work! It has been a lifesaver for us! Our son slept for 6 hours straight at 9 weeks old! For a mom returning to work after maternity leave, this is better than gold! I love how people also comment on my happy confident son that always seems to be in a great mood. They call him Smiley. It's wonderful!

I read this in preparation for having our first child. Even before I had an actual baby to practice their techniques on I was confused. It's too hodge-podge. I didn't feel like he went into enough depth, basically he just said 'do this'.
When I did have a child to put to sleep I lost my mind. I had to keep going back to the book to try to remember if I was supposed to count the hours between feedings, naps, or what. I could never remember to actually look at the clock, never knew why I was doing what I was doing and I had a crying tired baby.
I was recommended "Healthy Sleep Habits, Healthy Child" by Marc Weissbluth. My saving grace! This is the book that worked for me. He's an actual doctor. He's studied sleep. He explains WHY which helped me remember and adjust to my baby's unique biology. And he gives examples from real patients and offers different techniques. My baby slept. My 1 yo sleeps. He LOVES naps. He LOVES nigh' nigh' time.
Don't waist your time with a cheap knock-off. Read a book by a man with years of researching and study under his belt. You'll benefit. I promise. Everyone I've given the book to has.
It worked for me! October 27, 2008
Before trying Babywise, I tried demand feeding because it just felt better. However, it just wasn't working! The baby was constantly crying and constantly eating, and I had no idea what to expect next. My sister used Babywise with her three kids, and she highly recommended me giving it a try. The very FIRST day I used the concepts of this book, her crying lessened dramatically. By 11 weeks, she was sleeping 8 hours a night, and now at 16 weeks, she is sleeping 10-11 hours a night. I don't know what I would have done without this book.
A must have!!! October 27, 2008
This book worked with both of my girls. They were sleeping through the night by 9 weeks. It was wonderful. I constantly referenced this book. It made me feel like I actually knew what I was doing as a first time parent. Anything that can give you that kind of confidence and results it worth the read.
